if you put it on the dough setting, it'll stop when its done. just take out the dough, knead it for a couple of mins, then shape into buns, or put in a 2lb loaf tin, leave to rise again for about 30-45 mins and thin put in the oven.it takes about 20mins at 170/180 x

I bought the Multi Grain mix today (green bag, made by LANDGUT), was 99p for a 1000g bag which makes 2 loaves.

It says to use 'Normal/Browing:Middle or Dark' on the back of the bag?

As I assume this is for continental breadmakers would you bake this on a large loaf, whole wheat and medium colour setting ( I have a Morphy Richards fastbake)?

I have used all of Lidl's bread mixes and they turn out perfectly each time. I have a Breville Worral Thompson machine and use the dark setting. However, I do add 2 teaspoons of bread enhancer as it produces a less dense loaf.. You can but this from an Ebay Shop (or Lakeland but it is much dearer)

I have a AWT machine coming out to me in Spain In June, ut having read a review on it in the Daily Mail, I did get a bit panicky. Thank goodness someone else has one and it works OK. (Tizzy if you have any helpful hints re AWT breadmaker, please PM me)
At the moment I use Lidl mixes in a borrowed machine and they turn out fine, but I use half a packet to make a small loaf

hi
sorry if this question has been asked before, did a search but couldn't find anything.
bought some packets of bread mix (only 30p in Tesco) but when I read the packet it says it makes a 2lb loaf.
my breadmaker make small 1lb loaf or large 11/2 lb loaf
so can I use all the packet of mix or will the loaf be too big and make a mess in the breadmaker?

I dont think it would be too big but a larger loaf would need a longer baking time. I'd weigh out half the packet and add for the 1lb loaf

I find it just as easy to make packet bread mix by hand even easier if you use a hand mixer with a dough hook

I've been buying the hovis granary 2lb bags of mix (35p in Asda) and my breadmaker is only supposed to be for a 1.5lb loaf. I've had no trouble! I find if I make a smaller loaf it's useless for sandwiches.
I'd give it a go if I were you - failing that let the breadmaker do the hardwork and then pop it in a loaf tin in the oven just for baking.

good luck

Dear experienced breadmakers I have a bread making machine and successfully make my bread from Lidls packet mixes. I want to make some bread rolls using the same packet mixes, I know I can do the mix in the breadmaker, but at what stage do I take the dough out, do I cut the uncooked dough or just tear off pieces and how big should the uncooked rolls be, I want them to end up after cooking as quite small, sort of tangerine size, can the uncooked rolls go straight onto a baking tray or would it be better to put individual ones into a 12 hole pie/tart tin, what temp and how long should I cook them for. What else do I need to do/know/ask and do you have any other tips please
