Bread Maker - worth it?

debtmess

i used to love my breadmaker and loaf costing was around 35p however its had a serious effect on my waistline

they can be alot cheaper, i dont eat bread anymore, and buy milk loaf for my little ones x

well Lunch was ok, not great but as a 1st time it wasn't too bad.. will be searching for other recipes tho as the one I had turned out more like soda bread.. still practice makes perfect.. If anyone can point me in the direction of recipe that is guranteed to work that would be awsome....

Perhaps not quite in spirit of MSE, but have a look at the packet bread mixes, Wrights are are one, & supermarkets do "own brand".

Still works out cheaper per loaf, but the bonus is you [hopefully] get a lovely loaf and do not put breadmaker in back of a cupboard with the toasted sarnie maker:rotfl:

Once you have confidence in it you can experiment a bit, one tip is always use warm water, baby bath warm that is, not vesuvius warm

I do so agree, my breadmaker goes into hibernation for New Year as my belt buckle goes into next expanding hole just to readily these days

Thanks you for the tips .. I'll have to look out for these mixes.. I'm trying another recipe tonight with warm water so I'm hopeful that this one comes out better.. it's all fun practising though..I'm determined that it won't end up in the back of the cupboard.. think it will all depend on how it goes over the next few weeks.:rolleyes:

I have a bread maker and normally to buy the mix is in-between 50 and 75p in Asda and the bread is really nice, and its easy to do and the smell while cooking is wonderful. I always have a few mixes in stock because when any of my children are going to call I make bread for them to take home, and of course if the weather is bad and I cant get out no problem I just make a loaf. I dont think its cheaper but it is certainly more rewarding.
