Breadmakers

Holy Moly thread revival:eek:
Kudos to you Kainz for blatantly using the Forum search \o/

Again another vote for the Panasonics, now if they would only fit a 42" 1080p LCD screen to them I'd be in heaven.

mmmmmmm HD Bread.................

you use them a few times and then they spend years in the back of a cupboard :p

I've had my panasonic for a coule of years now and have probably bouht bread < 10 times in that period. We use it regually and a loaf will last a few days. I find the ciabatta recipe one of the best, I usually put some tom puree in instead of some of the water and also after about 30 mins into the program chuck in a few chopped sundied tomatoes and chopped basil. Then ~20mins from the end some grated mature chedder cheese on top.

I would also recommend a sharp serrated knife, since getting a new global one I find my bread slices are thinner and as such the bread lasts longer and i dont get as fat.

The panasonic sd253 was one of the best when i got mine a few years ago, perhaps the recent incarnation of that. Not sure how much cheaper making bread is than buying it, I reckon with leccy costs etc it may be similar/more expensive.

Rice maker > Bread maker

To cook rice the same as in a rice maker takes about 10 minutes.
Take rice out of packet, boil water, put rice on hob with boiling water, cook until tender.

To cook bread the same as in the bread maker takes a lot more effort.
To be honest I've never managed to make dough that's as good as it turns out in the breadmaker, whether it be pizza dough or whatever.

Please tell me why you think a rice maker is better than a bread maker.

So were not the only one's then lol
When we first got ours my lass was always turning out loaf's of delicous bread. Seems the novelty has worn off :rolleyes:

IMHO I think the actual loaf tin needs to be way bigger, we would demolish a loaf in one sitting and thats just two adults and two kids.
 
I use my panasonic (best brand, do not buy any other brand) every couple of days. I tend to use it to make my own dough, and cook the rest in the oven to make my own types of bread. However it's a god send. I haven't bought plastic bread for years. I've made things from ciabattas to pizza doughs, to walnut bread through to plain classic wholemeal loaves. It's a lot better for you, it's versatile, and there's nothing better than waking up in the morning to the smell of a freshly baked loaf :)
 
The flour I try to use the most I get from the 'Weald and Downland' museum near Chichester. They grind it in their reconstructed water mill. The flavour and texture of it just can't be matched by industrially ground flours.
