    Never used pure marg so I can't comment on that, but I always replace each ounce of butter with a tablespoon of olive oil as I think it gives the bread a better texture. hth

    Just put my first loaf on using oil instead of butter. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.:smiley::smiley:

    Congrats on your new 'baby' :D, think of all the money you'll save! Although in retrospect I was told that but it's costing me a small fortune in butter, marmalade (and calories) etc., lol. Re finding space, just put panny where you want it and the rest of the stuff in the cupboard ;). Enjoy.

    It looks good and smells good, :j but as I made an olive and oregano loaf this morning and have eaten over half of it, better not taste the wholemeal one with oil till morning but will definitely report back then.

    Does anybody else find Sainsbury wholemeal flour absolutely great?
    I was using Waitrose Organic and Dove Organic, then I changed to the cheaper one at Sainsbury and the result was much much better.
    I absolutely love that flour!

    Anyone else uses it?

    Will report later as I bought Sainsbury Wholemeal and White yesterday.

    First loaf is on as I type:j

    I went with butter as that was the given recipe, but will prob. try oil next time - purely because weighing out that small an amount (1/2oz) is tricky.

    Have you tasted your bread yet Craftyscholar ?,realy hope its nice,we've recently decorated our kitchen and the white Panny would "go" better than the silver Kenwood now(maybe i could Ebay it,i only paid £60 odds anyway,due to Argos vouchers and a refund thingy)
    Anyway I came back to ask,did you get a voucher for the free Peter Sidwell bread book?,it retails at £14.99...so basicaly taking that into account the Bm cost £55.99...even better value when you look at it that way.
    PS,heres the link to the claim form
