Bread

OH bought a bread maker today and we have just had our first taste of warm bread with butter and jam. To die for !! I use to make by hand but now not able to with joint problems in my fingers. As some shop bought bread now has soya which I cannot have we decided on the bread maker. Wonderful.

Fresh bread is just one of life's real pleasures. The simple things are always the best!

The ONE and ONLY kitchen gadget my OH is on good terms with.... and has been since we married more than 13 years ago. We are on (at least) our third one though, after a while of (nearly) daily use we find something usually goes...

We've had one for years - we have one that has up to 13 hours delay  program- put the ingredients in before bedtime, get up to a freshly baked loaf for breakfast, and the house smells great...

Wouldn't be without a bread-maker - it's lovely for making dough to shape for rolls, italian breads, pittas, pizza bases, french style dough for baguettes, naan bread - and Steve wonders why we're getting fat!

I have to move the bread machine into a warm room, otherwise it doesn't get hot enough to prove!  I do love fresh bread though!

Sabrina what bread maker did you get ? And what recipe did you use?
 I love fresh bread  :yum:
I'm getting really sick of the stale stuff that costs an arm & a leg.
I've tried on many occasions to make bread by hand with varying degrees of house brick as my result  :thumbsup: . I've thought about it before but haven't got a clue what a good bread maker looks like  :-[ . The other half had one before we got together but he said it was crap. So I've always stayed away from them. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. :excited:

Bert - don't get any other breadmaker than a Panasonic.  They are streets ahead of the rest.  Had one for over 14 years and have recently replaced it with the same but updated model.  The difference in the recipes is interesting though...much less salt and much less sugar, and none of the recipes include powdered milk, which pretty much all the old ones did.  Weird - but healthier!  Mine is the SD-2501

I bought the panasonic SD-2501 also, on recommendations from here when my ancient secondhand breadmaker went kaput. It is fabulous and i now get perfect results everytime. I used to get too heavy bread with hand kneading alone in spite of kneading until it felt silky (and as much as my hands would take). Now everything is well risen . I use it a lot for dough and shape rolls/baugettes etc. I can make small amounts (and also with larger amounts freeze some - I like to freeze some part baked rolls so I can quickly have fresh baked whenever i want) and so now don't get  any wasted bread. So quick and easy and less hassle than having to drive to the shops!

OH bought the Panasonic SD-2501. he did a lot of research before buying. We just used the recipe for the basic loaf but it can do all sorts of thing.

Definitely Panasonic for me too.  We've had ours for yonks and it's still going strong  :fc:   Previously had a Henry (Hinari) but it got a hole in its bucket.
I still have the old recipes but I use only 1/2 teasp salt and 1 teasp sugar per XL loaf.  What does the new recipe recommend for 21 oz flour?

I only work in metric, but 500g is teaspoon and a quarter salt, teaspoon and a half sugar.  The old recipe was tablespoon and a half of sugar!
