Bread machines save you time

[JennieAtkinson]

We use vegetable oil instead of butter and it makes a lovely moist loaf. Can't tell you how much, because that is OH's job. I do the veg and he makes the bread!

What kind of breadmaker do you have Jennie and would you recommend that one. I want to get one but believe some are great and some are terrible.

I married my Bread making machine, mind you she's been playing up just recently

[vicki]

I have a fab recipe which looks mighty impressive but is really easy - you do the dough in the breadmaker and then its rolled out flat, spread with roasted peppers and red onions, rolled up and baked - will have to dig out the recipe and post it on the forum. seriouisly yummy!

My bread maker always seems to under cook, I then trying putting the half cooked bread in the oven with poor results.

It makes a thud sound when you tap the base, I have tried reducing/increasing everything without luck, is it me or the breadmaker?

Any ideas?

[Alice]

It's probably the bread maker Mandy. I beleive some of thm produce ver poor results. I'm trying to get a recommendation for a good one.

Thanks Alice,

Begining to think I was just bad at bread making

It is quite an expensive Morphy Richards one that I got as a pressie, maybe I should try another type.

Mine's a Morphy Richards too but gives us great bread. Cakes are rubbish in it though.

I use a panasonic at school, I can't remember the model no but its the top of their range. It gives good results even when used by teenagers who don't always measure everything out properly. I've got a Morphy Richards at home and its not nearly as good. It makes a good raisin bread but that's about it. I also find that sometimes the very cheap flour (27p) gives as good if not better results than proper bread flour.

Alice unfortunately it was a pressie and I can't see the make on it. I'll try and dig out the instruction manual, as it makes THE most fantastic loaf. Our last one was a Morphy Richards and was a bit hit and miss, but this one ............ best bread I've ever eaten. We only had one morning when there was a horrible mess in the tray and I think that was oH not putting the water in!

Anyway....... I will try and find out. It looks and feels a bit tinny (didn't like to say that when we got it), but have to admit it is good.

Bear in mind that some of these breadmakers make a horrendous noise. We bought one for our eldest son and daughter in law and they live in a flat (we live in a huge four bedroom Manse) and they find if they set it for breakfast they get woken up at 5 in the morning. They make a lot of pizza dough!

Thanks Jennie, that would be great. I wouldn't worry about the noise if it makes good bread. I didn't know they were noisy. The things you learn on this site.
