Woo hoo, I got my SD255 delivered today and just made a raisin loaf.

Can't wait for this berry cake recipe

Mmmm just had some raisin bread from the panny recipe book and it is gorgeous, gotta get making all the standard loaves to pick my fave

DH now wants an automatic slicer :rolleyes: as he can't use the manual one we got a few years ago!

Can't wait to try it.

the pizza dough is absolutely fantastic, my husband loves dominos pizza because of the base (i don't adore the price or the taste) and i rolled out the dough on a sprinking of semolina then add yummy toppings. he prefers it to dominos! woo. absolutely gorgeous pizza, lovely base, not soggy, risen crusts, perfect.
I love my panny. bought from amazon as had stock unlike JL or lakeland or some other electrical retailers i found.

What difference does the semolina make and do you use a whole batch of the pizza dough for one pizza, or do you make it do two pizzas. I've tried the pizza base and although we did enjoy, I felt it could do with a bit of tweaking somehow.

Here we go ladies, the fruit berry cake mix ingredients and instructions. I will list what the book says and afterwards, I will add what I do as I change a few things but basically you get the same result.

200gm/7oz raspberries
175g/6oz butter, softened
175/60 caster sugar
3 eggs beaten
175g/6oz self-raising flour
50g chopped nuts

1. Line the pan with parchment paper.
2. Chop fruit ready and set aside, likewise with the nuts.
3. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy
4. Gradually beat in the eggs beating well after each addition to combine quickly without curdling.
5. Mix in the flour and the ground nuts.
6. Fold in the fruit.
7. Set machine to bake for 50 minutes
8. You may need to bake for another 5 minutes if the teabread is still sticky.

Now as I said earlier, I changed a few things because I didn't want to add that amount of butter and sugar so I tweaked a few things and this is what I do:

1. instead of butter, I add 85gm/3oz of vegetable oil
2. I don't put no where near that amount of sugar, I just add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
3. I only use 2 eggs

Instead of raspberries I buy the frozen mixed berries and just use as many as I want, same for the nuts. I use chopped walnuts. Keep berries in freezer until last minute - you don't want them to start going soft before going into the mixture.

Now that I've butchered the ingredients this is what I do and it's worked everytime and my family love it:

1. Place parchment/baking paper in pan
2. chop nuts so they are ready to add.
3. In the mixing bowl mix-up the sugar and oil
4. Beat the eggs and then add these
5. Mix in the flour and then the nuts. If the mixture is a bit too stiff, you can add some milk but don't make the mixture sloppy or runny. The consistency is quite thick and stiff.
6. Get the berries out and chuck in as many as you want and fold them gently in the mix.
7. Bake as above.
8. You can always sprinkle on some nuts on the top if you like before baking too.

Leave the cake in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing.

I hope they turn out ok for you. The mixture can be a little sticky and thick when going into the pan (it shouldn't "pour" in). Just spoon it in and sort of spread it.

I bought a couple of honey and sunflower seed rolls from morrisons this week for my lunch and they were yummy. I was hoping to find a recipe to make in my breadmaker and then just make up into rolls and cook in the oven.

If you have time can you post the recipe please ??

Here you go: This is what it says in my Panasonic book:

Program is Whole Wheat Bake Raisin (5 hours)
Size: L
Yeast: 1tsp
Strong wholemeal flour: 250gm/9oz
Strong white flour: 225gm/8oz
Honey: 2 tablespoons (more if you like)
Butter: 25gm (I just add 1 tablespoon on oil)
Salt: 1tsp
Water: 320ml (as a matter of course I always use 20ml LESS water in all my bread recipes)
Sunflower seeds: 4 tablespoons (however I use pumpkin too) - again you can add as many or few as you like.

I hope they turn out ok

My local baker told me that he never washes out the bread pans....so, for the last week I have tried not washing my bread pan out. If there are any crumbs I dust them out, the mixing blade stays in place and as I bake a loaf every day there is no time for any mould or anything.
What do you think? Would the non-stick be preserved longer through not washing??
