    TDA, my Mum used to make that bread nearly every Sunday for tea, we called it milk bread. Thanks for the reminder. I'll try and dig out a no knead cook in pot bread....hope this fits in with the spirit  Moulesy if there's no breadmaker around.

    Here's one of the no knead bake in a pot breads, looks like gluten free flour can be used too. There are similar recipes around, scroll down for the recipe. >BREAD<

    I make a bread maker loaf every other day (overnight - timed to finish at 5:00 when OH gets up, then it’s cool by breakfast after milking).

    My go to recipe is (and sorry it’s a mix of units).

    18 oz flour (I include in that a 5 seed mix, about a quarter of total)

    teaspoon salt

    2 teaspoon sugar

    knob of butter.

    350 ml water.

    teaspoon yeast.

    Breadmaker set at XL, dark crust. 4hr 5 min.

    I vary it by using different flours, adding sun dried tomatoes, cheese, herbs, dried fruit and various nuts, malt extract.

    No proper recipes (I’m not one for recipes) - just try it and see. 

    The only time we buy shop bread is for silaging boxes.

    I think we have the same recipe book M! I just can’t get hold of any more flour at the moment and yeast is like unicorn poo!

    I tend only to make normal bread in the breadmaker and bake it about every four days as we don't eat much bread.  It makes lovely toast.  Fortunately, at the time of lockdown my bread flour tub was full and I've managed to get more from Tesco to top up the tub since.  I have half a little tub of dried yeast left but my son's neighbour managed to get me some more yesterday from Asda.

    Looking forward to some alternatives to try.

    The Breadmaker has certainly been working overtime over the last two or three weeks. Sorry to say I can't offer any recipes as I just eat it! Agree with Jill's comment about toast. Simon managed to get some French bread flour from a farm shop which is quite nice as it gives a more robust crust and perhaps slightly denser bread. Yeast could be our Achilles' heel if it doesn't turn up with out next delivery! Good luck to all with your on going bakery.

    Anyone tried beer bread? A waste of a good pint I hear some say but apparently it needs only the beer's own 'yeast' and is delicious. Lots of recipes on the Internet!

    When I was lad in Cornwall mother use to make Saffron buns, we loved them with lashings of butter. I tried this recipe I found in an attempt to make a loaf in our Breadmaker, and it turned out quite well considering.

    The Ingredients
    1 cup milk
    ⅛ teaspoon ground saffron 
    1 tablespoon butter, softened
    2 eggs
    ⅓ cup sugar
    3¼ cups flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 package bread maker yeast
    ¾ cup raisins


    The basic instructions
    Add all ingredients, except raisins, to the bread maker pan in the order listed. 
    Set bread maker to the regular setting and start. Add the raisins when the beeper sounds to add additional ingredients.

    This makes a light wholemeal loaf, if you like it heavier, add more wholemeal and less white flour.

    Add in this order......

    1 tsp dried yeast 

    230g strong wholemeal flour

    245g strong white flour

    1tsp sugar

    1tsp salt

    25g rapeseed oil

    325ml water

    bake as large wholemeal loaf

    (we have a Panasonic breadmaker, takes 5 hours)

    knock out as soon as possible and wrap in a tea towel and place on a grid to cool.

    best left to stand at least 12 hours before slicing, 24 hours even better.

    will keep in fridge for a week at least.

    Can anyone offer any advice on breadmakers? 

    Son and daughter were going to buy hubby one for fathers day. They're both students so nothing too expensive. Are the cheaper ones any good or would it be better to save up for an expensive one (maybe a birthday present from me)?

    Can anyone recommend particular models?

    Thanks

    Ours is a very basic Goodmans model which we've had for years. I just use it for loafs although it's got various settings for dough,  pasta etc. I'd just tell them to go for a basic model to be honest. smile

    Now there is a thought. Family have tried various machines but non as good as a the reliable old fashion methods my Gran used. Yes, it may be more time consuming and requires years of experience but the versatility, end result and satisfaction is far better. My dad used the kneeding/proving functions of his machine and then reverted to his trusty gas oven for the bake. Very reasonable results too!

    Even the fully multi function machines require much trial and error 'til the end result is anything like acceptable in my opinion.

    OMG. Just had an email from a company that I contacted on 19th March. I placed an order with them, for those little bread-mix packs made by Wright’s. Just have confirmation that my order is now in stock and will be delivered next week. So........30, (yes,30) little packs to go at, mainly white and whole meal, but I am sure they can be made delicious with other things added. Shall be sharing them with family, friends. Haven’t been able to find any flour or yeast for weeks, so this is a real treat. Just need to dig out the bread maker again now.......😁

    We’ve had a few over the years. The best (by far) is the one we now have, a Panasonic. We opted for the all-singing all-dancing top of the range, about £180? I think we’ve only ever had a few bad loaves, but that turned out to be the yeast. The beauty of this machine is that I don’t have to worry about the order and position of the ingredients as it has a yeast dispenser. I try not to use it often, as the bread it makes is just too nice, and I end up eating the lot, not good for the waistline smile
