I am in love with my Panasonic breadmaker

I prefer home made bread because of the lack of additives and I really like knowing what has gone in to it. For me the decision of breadmaker or bought isn't so much about whether it's cost effective it's about what I can produce with the machine.

I too cant help with the gluten free bread but I only make wholemeal bread in my breadmaker and as mentioned above, it's not about how much money I can save on each loaf of bread, it's about what's gone in to the loaf that counts for me.

The panasonic recipes are very good so I wouldn't have any concerns over their gluten free ones if I had to use them.

Finally....after a year of wanting one I am due to get a panny on my birthday in 10 days time :-)

Its the top model so I am well chuffed.

I've started reading the 'I'm in love with my panasonic breadmaker' thread for tips (especially on what flours are the best to use - I have tesco, sainsbury's, ASDA and Lidl all very close so I can take my pick for where to go for products) but it's just way too long. Can anything be done to cut down on the length of that thread so that it is just tips and handy info?

making bread in the panasonic is very easy and the results have been consistently good but how I missed my sourdough bread. I put my hm starter to sleep in the fridge when I bought the bm but a few days ago, I decided to do an experiment.

I woke up and fed my starter over 3 days so it got lively again and yesterday added w/meal flour to my basic white dough starter to bring it to the right consistency. I got weights from the french bread recipe and weighed 25 oz of my primitive sourdough into the bm plus 1 tsp salt and 1 oz butter and switched onto french bread bake. I kept a bit of an eye on it through the first knead and added 2 tbs more flour and then left it to its own devices

The result was A1 fantastic and I am a very very happy bunny. :j :j :j What could be better: home made organic sourdough bread. I used shiptons organic wholemeal flour this time and doves farm plus 000 flour to wake the starter up from day 1

Bet you'll have it used straight away! The first loaf is SOOOOO exciting. I've had mine since September last year, it is on every day and I certainly wouldn't want to be without it EVER.Welcome to the Panny Club x

Ok, seeing as you asked nicely I'm going to add this to the old Panasonic thread, close that, and start a new thread
