Bread Machine

Does anyone have one?

Think we are going to have a lot of fun using this.

 

I have a bread machine havnt used it for ages, I should get it out and try new bread recipes

 

Hi, Scotkat. We bought one a few months ago and t'other half makes our bread. We are particularly fond of granary types with added caraway seed, poppy seeds or sesame.

Wouldn't be without it now!

 

Rosa and lady of Leisure saw it in Aldi for �£24 so just testing it out .Very tasty and morish.

I love cranberry bread so must get some cranberries to make my own.

My son said blue cheese.

 

I would love to have a dough-mixing machine in the near future, as I hope to make more and more cakes and also bread, why not?
But I would only buy a very sturdy one, as otherwise I may use the hand mixer.

 

We had a bread machine and used it regularly for a few years until it wore out, then bought another one and used that until it wore out about 5 years ago.

Quite good, but eventually you do get rather fed-up weighing up the ingredients as they have to be fairly accurate.

Perhaps they do prepack mixes now to make it easier, but then you will have added chemicals no doubt?

 

I think Dag, that I would use always the same measuring cups or jugs so that I would not need to weigh the ingredients, but the amount would be right.
Did you use the mixer to make bread or cakes?

 

Yes you are right about measuring cups, but still fiddly. Only made bread.

 

Lots of my friends have one and think they are brill.It is nice to smell fresh baked bread,but sometimes I think it is another item to find a space for and have to keep washing out.We buy the granery bread from Tesco's ready sliced then we just pop it into the freezer.We have enough to do with all the gardening and allotmenteering and also the greenhouse to look after,so we are still undecided as to whether one would be worth paying out for

 

skotkat that is a good price as mine was about �£60 mind its like everything else electical items always come down in price as i bought mine 2 years ago or maybe longer.
just bought a kenwood smoothie havnt tried it yet but my daughter will probably use it over the xmas

 

Now that is something I would like to buy as we eat loads of fruit.Let me know Rosa,how you get on with it

 

Hi, Scotkat, that's an excellent price. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours.

Here's a couple of sites that may be of interest to you ...

kandy my eldest daughter has one and she said they are fantastic, you have to cut and core certain fruits but i suppose thats fine, I give my other daughter a anthony warrel thompson machine and that cores and pulps the fruit, it was messy to clean up and expensive

 

Ooh, Rosa, love AWT, but buy cheap and cheerful and as a bonus they are easy to clean ... just wipe out with a damp cloth!

 

My wifes got a bread maker (me) I make a couple of loaves most mornings I use a half and half mix of strong white and brown flour and add in sunflower,pumpkin and linseed usually made about 5 am it's a nice smell first thing in the morning
