I made the french bread, but I made it with tesco value plain flour instead of strong bread flour to see how it would turn out... it was pleasant if a bit crunchy on the base I would make it again, and it was cheap

Edit: Yea, the french bread (MR) was a bit flatter than I expected, but any of the basic and seeded loaves (different BM, not MR) I have made in the past have been bigger, and lovely

Also would like to echo pink - from reading other posts and comments, it seems as though the fast bake isn't as good as any other settings.

have you added the photo Carrie to photobucket?

Anyhows, I did a white seeded with the Hovis seeded flour I bought on the weekend. We wrapped it in a cloth napkin almost immieidately ( it wasfinished at 12 last night!) and OH took lunch with it today and Ive just had a [STRIKE]couple[/STRIKE] few slices with butter (president, pushed the boat out this week ) and it was absolutely GORGEOUS.

I dont think theres much point in trekking to ikea for one of those boxes - (although they do look good!) cant see loaves lasting that long TBH

With the sandwich loaf Pink- i take it it rises right to the top of the pan? Making it longer, is that what happens?

We have only done 1lb white, 1.5lb granry, 1.5lb white seeded.

I think we sohuld stick with this as theres less waste.

It was certainly a revelation to go to do a shop yesterday and not have to grumble at 1.20 for a loaf of bread! and feel fleeced :T

How true!

The loaves might work out cheaper, but they don't last as long... they're all eaten up quickly!

Thanks Chipps....does that one look big enough to slice a MR loaf?

I'm so tempted! My erratic slicing is the only thing putting me off replacing shop bought bread completely with homemade.

I would think it is ok. I've got an electric knife too (we only got 2 as wedding presents 25 years ago!) We only started using one of them a couple of years ago, when my mum's even older one gave up the ghost so we gave her our one & opened the "new" one!
Having said that, I am just as useless cutting bread with that as with an ordinary knife!

Fastbake Loaves:

Fastbake loaves are a bit stodgier than the ordinary sort. But they taste nice! And if you want bread really quickly they are fine. As I said in a previous post, my family seem to prefer them for some reason, which is fine by me as I don't have to remember so far in avance if bread is needed!
