Just got my completed home made bread and added butter, ham and cheese. Nice continental brekkie!

That bread looks excellent, glad to see you cut some nice thick slices as well (Much better than standard slice size) 
I don't suppose you have any left over

500g of bread flour
1.5 teaspoons of fast acting yeast
25g of unsalted butter
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of caster sugar
350ml water
Leave the yeast in the first, then add the flour, then the salt/sugar but make sure the salt and sugar doesn't connect with the yeast to start with. Add the butter on top, then slowly pour the water on top of the butter, that way it sits on top of the flour, not connecting to the yeast.
Leave it for 30mins, then mix/kneed - leave for 15mins, mix/kneed again, leave for 15mins, mix/kneed again and leave it for 1hour.
Then bake for 35mins.

The final frontiere for my bread machine would be making a dark German type rye bread, has anyone had success here ?
Otherwise we are self sufficient in bread (Barbara Good would be proud .. until I looked I had not realised series was named after their surname ) and panasonic machine proven reliable for wholemeal (with/without dried fruit)
