Breadmaker question

Hi
Can anyone advise which breadmakers have the paddle thing that flattens down during cooking, so you don't end up with a loaf with a hole in it.
I have looked through a lot of the breadmaker threads and can't find an answer.
Thanks
Donna

I've got this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Morphy-Richards-Stainless-Fastbake-Breadmaker/dp/B00065IA6U/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/203-3142571-7946301?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1180363011&sr=8-1 one - although its not great at falling down and also it often gets stuck in the bread when you take the bread out. Other than that its good.0

The same model is only £29.55, direct from Morphy Richards. The slightly more basic model (48245) is only £24.99. P&P free."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0

reading threads like this puts me in mind for buying a bread maker. Only one problem... ive never made bread... what do you need to make bread? *the shame*0

Hi LilMissEmmylou,
Making bread in a breadmaker takes about five minutes of measuring out the ingredients, switch it on and leave it until it's ready. No skill required at all and it tastes much better than shop bought.
The basic ingredients are, water, milk powder, oil, salt, sugar, flour, and dried yeast.
Have a read through this thread which is about the breadmaker that's been linked to above to see what others think about that machine:

Breadmaker bread - yum! Once you've made the leap you'll find it oh so hard to go back to shop bought stuff... most breadmakers come with recipe booklets, and a lot of them also are fine to use a lot of breadmixes in.
Beyond the basics (bread flour, water, yeast, oil/butter, sugar/honey, salt, skimmed milk [never quite worked out that last one but recipes recommend it!]) I've successfully made bread with choc chip and walnut, raisin and cinnamon, added wheatgerm, and am just about to try throwing in some sunflower and pumpkin seeds into the next batch.Exiled-Geordie-in-the-west-country (not quite in the middle of nowhere, but I can definitely see it from here!)0 -

Hi cannycat,
I put half a cup of mixed pumpkin, sunflower, linseed and sesame seeds in and it's lovely.
My youngest doesn't like seeded bread.....so for him I grind them with my handblender before adding so he's still getting the goodness but he's none the wiser.

I use the breadmaker just to mix and "first prove" the bread, then I take the bread out and put in a normal bread tin or make into rolls. It stops my wrists from getting sore.The "Bloodlust" Clique - Morally equal to all. Member 10

Re the OP, my Panasonic paddle doesn't fold down but we have never found the resulting small hole to be a problem. However you could use the BM to make the dough and then bake it in loaf tins.“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”

If you have a breadmaker that has a paddle that DOESN'T fold down, you can usually remove it after the last "knock back". It does have the disadvantage of you having to hang around for the precise time before the final rise starts."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.0
