MR Coolwall Breadmaker

Yeah, I figured that, but the bread from the Panasonic 253 my parents have is SOOOOOO much better!

Please (pretty) please can you furnish me with your recipe details squiggles?

I bought a BM from Asda, they dont have them in my local one, but i saw them in another branch. Its a Durabrand - but it looks the same design as the MR fast bake.

Tried it yesterday for first time, made basic white bread, came out fine for first attempt. I was very impressed that it actually rose!
DH wants to try the sandwich bread now thinking it might be a little lighter.

I dont know whether its gonna be cheaper though, it uses nearly half a bag of flour for one loaf - am gonna look at the breadmaking thread to see what others are doing.

yes agree with you Tonyflow, mine came out slightly yellowy and more cake type. I'm just glad it came out edible for first go!!!!

I use only bread flour from Lidl and it is great every time. And it is only about 50p.

sorry for the delay

i only ever do the sandwich loaf as its the one i like the best as im trying to cut down on my salt.

I dont put the ingredients in the pan in any particular order anymore as i didnt find it made any difference but i do put the water in last only because everything else is dry ingredients and it would stick to my cup.

sandwich loaf 1.5lbs

3 cups of hovis strong white
blob of marg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon coffee mate as i dont buy skimmed milk powder
1 1/16 warm water= 1 full cup and about 15ml to make it easier to understand

then i bung in a whole sachet of the hovis yeast,my recipe says only 3/4 teaspoon but i found the bread didnt rise and was rock hard and heavy.My loafs come out well risen and fluffy and the marg adds a nice yellow colour.

Lovely - cheers for that!

I have found this in mine, the recipe book that came with the BM says hald teaspoon of yeast I always put one and a half in now and my bread comes out loverly and soft with a crusty crust which is really nice.
I also use sunflower spread now instead of butter as one day I didn't have any butter so thought I would give it a go and tthe bread is much lighter using this instead of butter.
