we did too, and yes if you get good flour and follow the instructions, they do make nice bread - you can get slicing guides

You can try using atkins flour too

Place on a new plate, then spread marge and sugar on top and eat.
Yummy

Eggy bread! Dunno about the marge and sugar though - I just eat the eggy bread with a bit of salt as a snack.

Try it with marge and sugar.
Don't attempt any more than 2 slices though or else your arteries will solidify

I tried repping you for the post. Bloody useless forum software Will try with marge and sugar. Statistically I'll be lucky to make 50 anway, so I'm not worried about my arteries

The papers drop through the door, the smell of baking bread wafts up the stairs, then the bacon smells wafts up as well, and bacon sarnies and coffee with the paper all appear in bed!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmm bliss

I can guess who the lazy slob is from that description Hope you take it in turns on a Sunday?

Can anyone recommend me a good bread making machine?

TIA

The Panasonic one is the best i know of. Its by no way the cheapest but it is good.

Make sure you get one that heats before it bakes. Vital for yeast to work

I have a Panasonic SD253, which Mrs T bought after much online review-reading and price comparing. It has more options and variations than you can shake a stick at and has never let me down. The bread is always top notch.

A useful feature is the raisin/nut dispenser - if you fancy making sweet breads, this gadget releases the nuts or raisins into the dough at the correct point mid-cycle. Many other bread machines simply bleep to tell you to do this manually, which is a pain because you have to hang around the kitchen waiting for it.

Home made hot cross buns .... mmmmm ....

Beaten to it by Gary! But at least we're recommending the same machine

Top machine, ours is a lot older than that so we dont have the flashy nut releaser. We've never had a single failure in terms of making bread. We use it to make pizza dough as well and to be honest i've never tasted pizzas so good.

Ours did go wrong under warranty, one of the keys on the keypad became very hard to press. John Lewis took it back and it was repaired within 10 days.


Chris, try the Malted fruit loaf thats in the books that comes with it (i assume the books the same, might not be). You need to go to a chemist to get the liquid malt extract but the results are
