that's what we use the Italian bake for too, but I've only ever made the plain one before, thanks for inspiring me to try something new
but I might have to invest in some proper sun-dried tomatoes now

as you already figured out, the small lop-sided loaf indicates not enough liquid
give the passata a try next time, I got mine in Tesco for 39p & it looks like there's enough for two loaves, if I don't use the bit left over in time, I'll just put it in the freezer till I'm ready for it

I'm sure your loaf will taste good anyway :A let me know how it goes

I bought some passata, so I'll wait for the next loaf!

excellent everyone loved mine, so I'll definitely be making it again, thanks again for inspiring me to try it


PS ... my youngest son particularly liked it with scrambled eggs on top, nice contrast in flavours & it looked lovely

*considers how pretty scrambled eggs with chives would look on it* :think:

Yep, I have bought the Panny SD257 and its brill. So good, even OH says he prefers this bread to shop bought, would definately buy one. Am becoming an addict....sad or wot?

Yes, I bought one a few months ago to replace my old Cookworks one.

It's fantastic, I use it every day, and also make gluten free bread for a work colleague a couple of times per week.

It makes 3 different sizes M, L and XL.

The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't set the timer for 'dough only'.

Our particular family favourite at the moment is rye bread.

I find that irritating as well, cos you can't have the pizza dough timed for walking in the door, you have to do it on a day when you're going to be there.

I wish they would make the pan slightly longer as medium, large and ex large is just about how tall the loaf is, not that you get extra slices out of a loaf.

Luckily, I have a second fridge in my utility room, so I've started making the dough the night before and leaving it in the fridge until I'm ready to use it.

Still not ideal though

Cooking Mama , i've merged this with the main Panasonic thread

Did you check the manual? My computer keeps crashing but it will have the times in it

From the manual -Bread Size XL (approx. 1.2kg), L(approx. 1.0kg), M(approx.450g)

:jI have so far made 2 x rapid bake loaf and one egg enriched white loaf in my new kenwood 450bm. Awesome! I can see what you all mean when you say that you can't eat shop bought bread now. Going home to make jam tonight. If any of you gals have good recipes to pass on which you have tried and tested, I would be very grateful
