    I got a Biffinet from a Freecycler and use it all the time. My favourite is:-

    185 fl oz water
    1 tsp salt
    4 tsp crystalized sugar, (from Morrisons)
    4 tsp sunflower oil
    315 grms of Allinsons strong flour
    1 1/2 tsp dried yeast.

    I put these ingredients in the same order as I have wrote them, into each small tin, bake on medium (for the colouring) for 3hr 25 mins and it is great toasted with best butter on.

    I took some toast to work and they scoffed the lot. They ask for more weekly, they get withdrawal symptoms if I don't take any in!!!

    By the way, I have nearly lost my paddles loads of times. I even gave a loaf to my friend with the paddle still inside. Luckily she had thrown it out for the birds, so I had to go and retrieve it.

    I try and start cutting the loaf from the end where the paddle is so I can get it out straight away.

  • INGREDIENTS
    1 cup of oats (I use tesco value porridge oats)
    3 cups of strong bread flour (I use lidl strong bread flour 60p)
    2 flat table spoons of sugar
    1 and a quarter teaspoons of salt
    1 and a quarter teaspoons of dry yeast (allinsons 125g tin 47p at sainsburys)
    1 and a third cups of tepid water

    METHOD
    In a large bowl add all dry ingredients and mix well together, put water in the bread maker pan and add all dry ingredients to pan,cook on rapid setting, this makes a large loaf and its tasty and healthy and is foolproof.
    I end up making this bread for all the family the kids love it and its a great way of getting them to eat oats which are very healthy for your heart .
    Enjoy

    Been going through 3 'proper' bread books recently and all agree on certain things:

    Try not to use 'fast bake' options. The longer bread is cooked for - the better it is for you (nutrients, 'digestability' etc.)

    Don't use more yeast than necessary.

    And finally, after finishing with my 'wrights' ready mixes, i plan to use my own flour, dry yeast (not quick/fast active) .

    Just my 2 cents. + I prefer reading/listening to those who don't want to sell me anything!

    In saying all that, I really want to try the wrights parmesan tomato mix. lol

    Does anyone know where I can buy the measuring devices that normally come with the breadmakers?

    When I aquired mine from Freecycle, it didn't come with any measuring cups etc.

    Tried looking on the internet, but I don't seem to be able to find any.

    Thanks

    The measuring devices are just usually a teaspoon/tablespoon measure and a cup measure. Either you should be able to get at a cookery shop.

    Well just finished one in my breadmaker this morning. Lovely smell in the kitchen, not tried it yet waiting for it to cool (only took it out about 15 min ago :D)
    (I got the money off coupon from their web site so it was a bit cheaper I wouldn't normally spend nearly £1 on a bread mix :eek:)

    Don't know whether Asda will keep their 2 Hovis mixes for a £1 offer as advertised until then.
    My local doesn't seem to be doing this offer, at least there is nothing on the shelve saying 2/£1 just 65p ea. OR is this online only?

    Thanks Kenr,

    I have some of them already, just thought they would be certain sizes, stupid me!!! Of course they can't be, as there's different recipes.:rotfl:

    Hi
    When the recipe book refers to 'cups of flour' does this mean the measuring cup that came with the breadmaker?
    Thanks
