I am in love with my Panasonic breadmaker

Anitaj73

I'm still fairly new to baking my own bread. I have a Morphy Richards BM and am very happy with it. Tesco's own strong white bread flour and tesco's fast action dried yeast is what i use and they have all been succesful so far (touchwood) ......I do only use to make the dough though and bake in the oven myself, so no paddle hole probs here. I leave to prove with a tea towel over it and have had no probs there

hth's anybody

love my panny

haven't bought a loaf since february - all i ever do is the basic rapid loaf - and i have still recovered my initial outlay!!

only problem is i bake the bread in the evening and the beautiful smell of the freshly baked loaf makes me eat loads more bread!!!!!!!!

Hovis white bread mixes are labelled as 34p at Asda but scanning through at 20p. :jShhhh!!

Thanks for the tip, I find the Hovis mixes a bit salty, but at 20p I reckon I can live with that :T

Hi All thanks for all the tips.

I have now finally managed to make gorgeous bread both wholemeal and white. The problem was my scales. I bought digital scales from tesco for £10 and have made perfect bread ever since.

I too am in love with my Panny.

!!!!!, another near disaster :rolleyes: , yesterday I made the raisin bread recipe as dough only as I make this into rolls. They looked lovely, didn't try one last night as they came out the oven the same time as the Lasagne for tea.....eagerly tucked into one this morning but NO FRUIT!!!!! I forgot to put the blooming machine on raisin setting so the fruit is still sitting in the machine! Not sure what to do now, I normally freeze half the rolls as we don't eat them fast enough but I've not got enough room to freeze half the no fruit rolls and then to freeze half of a fruit batch.

Hmm.....am I the only person who is quite this stupid!

Of course not:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: , I forgot to set a panetonne to the raisin dough setting once and I think you'll find quite a few of us, including me, have forgotten to put the paddle in:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: !! Now that really is a disaster :rotfl: .

Yet another unrisen loaf from my Panny. Originally thought it was Morrisons flour that I was using that was at fault, but I've just taken this one out, made using Hovis flour and that's also not risen. Any ideas? Followed the recipe exactly as I always do. It's meant to be a large loaf so it usually rises to above the top of the pan.

Photos to go with above post - took me this long to figure out how to do it!!

That is sunken top syndrome, I used to get it alot with my old bm and with some recipes I don't use often, I think its too much water, so try 10 ml less. different flours absorb water differently. In the user manual there will be a list of problems and will tell you what you need to do to avoid sunken top!

hth I know how disheartening it is to have made lots of useless loaves when the expectations are so high for the panny
