The Morphy Richards BM Club

Can I join please? We've just been brought our first BM and will be trying it out tomorrow. Had no ingredients in as it was a complete surprise. But have been reading through the thread and am really excited about trying it out tomorrow. Will let you know how it goes.

Of course you can join

I was very pleased with my new MR - perfect bread every time so far. Great innit?

I haven't had a bad one yet I was thinking of the JAM function, but there is only 2 recipes in the book so going to hunt and see if I can find one for plum jam as I have a lot of them to use up. If anyone knows where I can find one, that would be appreciated too I did find a thread on my searches that said use same weight plums to sugar, but the BM seems to be a litle more precise with what to make and how.

My first disaster might be baking now, was a little late adding the fruit for the fruit loaf by about 10 minutes.

Try the new jam index... it's linked in the first post of the volunteer sticky.

Well, after both my MR bread machines broke, a friend said she had one i ould have and guess what - its another MR!!!! I dont mind, as i know how to use it etc, im just worried the paddle will break again. She said not to worry, they wernt using it, so hopefully will be making bread again soon!!!

Well I'm quite disappointed so far. I made my first loaf and was going well until when it was supposed to finish it started again! I was met by a lot of breadcrumbs. After leaving it for a few hours whilst at work, I have tried to do a fastbake loaf, but when I turned it on again it restarted again! I've tried holding down the stop button, which just made it go faster. Any ideas?

Hi,

I've just joined and I've also just got a Morphy Richards fastbake BM with my Nectar points, so can I join ..please
I've one quick question to ask, which may well have been answered somewhere in the depths of this thread, but being lazy (and short of time) I thought I'd ask anyway. The two loaves I've baked so far (which turned out surprisingly well) I used Allinsons white bread flour but I thought this was quite expensive. Question is, is it okay to use own brand bread flour and what brands, if any, can you recommend?

Thanks
lilybet

I just use value plain flour @ about 29p a pack.

Thanks squeaky.
I take it that the bread turns out okay with that. It's just that the booklet (and my mum ) were full of dire warnings about only using proper bread-making flour.

I am on my second MRFB. The 1st one only came on when it felt like it and after about 10mths the bread pan disintergrated. Got a replacement and so far so good. Mine is in use daily and I couldn't be without it, DH reckons they don't make them to last as they expect people to chuck them in the cupboard after a couple of uses!!
