    When making pitta bread, you should wrap the baked pitta breads up in a tea towel when they are cooked so they stay nice and soft, otherwise they go crunchy, which is not quite the effect you want.
    Am making fruit cake in mine at the moment! It smells yummy!

    Can i join please, just won the coolwall version on ebay. Wasn't sure whether to buy the new one from argos but behaved myself after all £15 is £15 and better saved than spent. (can you tell i am still trying to convince myself).Still waiting for a reply so i can collect it. Any advice for first timers.

    Hi Furball, just check it's got the mixer blade and instruction manual in the box when you pick it up. Lots of tips in this thread for best/cheapest flour to use.
    Make sure you buy fast-acting sachets of yeast.
    Go easy on the salt and sugar.
    Don't bother with powdered milk (unless you use it anyway - it goes off too quickly!).
    Use oil for a v crisp crust and light bread or marge for a softer crust and "cakier" bread.
    Measure carefully!
    Enjoy!

    Depends on whether you want your bread to taste like coffeemate!

    What do you want to make? I can probably find a non milk powder recipe for you. (Was it normal white bread? or rolls? or something else?)
