I am keen on the fruit loaf at the moment! It tastes just like slices of hot cross bun - and it's really good toasted for several days after it's made (if you can bear not to eat it all straight away!)

Please can l join the club-just bought a MR Compact breadmaker-made 3 loaves already and in love with it!!!! Can l use exactly same recipes as for the fastbake?
Also despite oiling the tin and blade each time the blade has come out embedded in the loaf-am l doing something wrong?
thanks!

No, I get that too. Usually the blade comes out easier if you leave the bread to cool a few mins before removing from tin

have been following this thread and have got all excited and gone out and bought myself a MRFB!!!!

thing is, if i want to use oil instead of marg, how much do i use?

ie) if it says use 1 tbsp of marg, do i use 1tbsp of oil instead? and which oil is better? sunflower or olive?

i'm off to town now to get me flour and stuff.......can't wait to get started!!!

last time i tried to use a bread maker, it came out like a house brick so i'm hoping this time'll be better!

Hey all. You really must try this! :beer:

Add ingrediants as per instrustions (i use the one for sandwich bread) and start it on setting for "dough" (it takes about an hour and a half) then once that has finished, put it on the sandwich setting.

I did this yesterday and my bread is so amazingly light. :j :j

Far better than just using the sandwich setting on it's own!!

Hi Mandy Moo,

The only recipes I have tried have listed sunflower oil in the ingredients and not marg. I have done the basic white, basic brown, raisin bread, fruit loaf and french bread so far. All delicious!

thanx Nova .......... i hadn't read the recipe properly in all the excitement!!

and now i want to tell everyone that my firstest loaf of bread worked!!! :j i'm so excited......i've texted everyone i can think of to tell them!!

i wanna make another one now we'll eat this one today, then i'll put another one on timer to be ready for morning and i think i'll have a go at the cinnamon&raisin one next

I can't believe how easy it was, and the 1lb loaf is just the right size for the 3 of us, cos i always think it tastes nicest the day you make it

i've had a pan of leek & potato soup on the go as well this morning to warm us up in this awful weather, so that's tea sorted for tonight ( that's if i don't scoff all the bread before the kids get home! :rotfl: )

Remember that if you are going to put raisin bread on timer, you have to be there to add raisins! I made the same mistake - ended up starting a cycle really late and had to wait up for beeps :rolleyes: . The loaf was left in there overnight (don't think you're supposed to do that!) but it was still really nice - expected it to be soggy and it wasn't.
