Thanks Baron. Yes it's odd that 12 tins produce the same size loaves as 10

tins - from the same recipe and same final rise time (60 mins). Perhaps
when 
I used 10 tins, I should have used a FRT of say 75mins? I've always been a

bit nervous of too long a final rise, when using super-fast dried yeast.

My wife has taken a fancy to these. She says it reminds her of the mini 
loaves served with Bouillabaisse (fish stew) in a pub, along the coast,
that 
specialises in fish. No doubt when the novelty wears off, they'll all be 
mine, mine, mine :-). She prefers the white/whole-wheat blend, but I'll be

trying the w/rye mix again this afternoon.
