    Another vote for the Morphy Richards Fastbake here!

    Made a loaf every week (plus pizza bases) for 2.5 years now and still going strong, it cost me £40 (may have been special offer) but it's paid for itself several times over now

    One thing I think puts people off is the recipes in the manual in my opinion are way off... I use quite a different mix for a wholemeal loaf and EVERYONE comments how good it is

    care to share the recipes please :T
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    Yeh, for wholemeal loaf I use this:-

    1 5/8 cups of water
    3 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp honey
    1 tsp salt
    2 cups wholewheat flour
    2 cups strong white flour (can use plain flour)
    1/2 tsp yeast

    I'm sure I based it on a recipe I found on here, plenty more info and recipes in this thread

    I agree, I use a half and half flour mix and I've basically halved the sugar and salt, use 1 tsp of yeast instead of 1.5, taken out the milk powder and as I said, I bake it for 2hours 50 mins instead the 3 hour cycle.

    I then put it in a cupboard while still warm (I also take the paddle out just after the nuts beeper) so it has a hypodermic type hole and has a lovely soft crust.
