Make two loaves then never use it again. That's standard practise.

Sell it and buy a Panasonic one, according to urb posts passim.
I love our machine going out for a few pints on a saturday night and putting it on the timer before bed (put all the ingredients in together bar the water before you go out then just tip in water when drunk ) to then wake up with a hangover to fresh bread that took absolutely no effort is a wonderous thing
eating the loaf still hot from the machine with lashings of butter is one of our favourite things in this house
A standard loaf I make with half strong white flour and half granary and it always turns out great. I use it to make pizza dough quite often too.
you can use pre-mixes or just the flours and make them different yourself (which is what we do ) things like oregano and oil make for a lovely bread, as does chopped up peppers and some parmesanhow do they work then? do you just tip a bag of bread mix in it with some water and let it get on with it? I quite fancy making my own bread; as aqua says, nothing better than warm home baked bread with huge dollops of butter

oh, I also use doves organic flour, it's by far and away the best flour I've used more expensive but more reliable IMO
I thought that but my friends who live together make bread before they go to bed every few days or so, they constantly have fresh bread.
I think if you get in the habit it's good.
Some folks knead to prove they can get a rise
I made a bog standard white loaf by hand the other day and it was fucking superb. Does a breadmaker add anything other than making it less time and effort consuming to make?

Blimey - there was a bloke sitting on the same bus as me tonight who'd got a brand new breadmaker on the floor. You aren't in Brighton are you ?So I've bought myself a breadmaker. Some hints and tips please.

This thread might just made me bend my credit card on a new Panasonic. Are they really that good?
