How does using a bread maker compare for price and taste of Gluten Free bread? Am thinking of using my Amazon vouchers for a bread maker.0

After reading on here that people recommend Panasonic bread machines I had a quick look on adtrader.co.uk and found one 2 miles from my house for £20. The same one is selling on ebay for around £40 so can't loose whatever the case.
I tried making a large white loaf using the cheapest ingredients at Tesco and all I can say is WOW. We used to have a "cheap" one which used to burn the bread and always tasted like raw yeast but I would say the smell in the house was less with this one. I did swap out the sugar with cheap honey and I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I still need to get back to LIDLLets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:0 -
I have had my Panny since December (Panasonic) we love it. We have a fresh loaf each day and im making rolls and pizza bases. The home made pizzas are better and healthier than anything i have bought before. I feel its a huge money saver. I buy the strong flour from Lidl at 49p and tesco dried yeast and have amazing results. I often chuck things in to see how it turns out and great for hiding good bits in them that the kids otherwise avoid.
From those i have spoken to it seems a lot depends on the breadmaker, the Panny seems to come out the most fool proof.0 -
Second day with bread machine and I thought I would price it up for comparison.
The closest to mine is Tesco Finest (well it is that good) farmhouse crusty white loaf (400g) which is normally 69p but currently on offer for 51p
Mine uses:
3rd of a bag of Lidl strong white flour - About 16p per loaf
Yeast (unitl I get it free from a supermarket) - about 6p per loaf
Salt, Sugar, butter and milk is well less than 5p per loaf
Electricity 0.3KWh's = 4.8p per loaf
Total price per loaf = Around 32p :money: :j
The knowledge of that dodgy hole in your slice of bread is caused by a paddle becasue you made it - Priceless.Lets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:0
