My instructions say the same, but that didn't seem relevant last night so I was going to put it today.

My maker actually says not to use the sachet yeast and I have always used it from a tin. It works fine. The only thing is that if you don't use it up in a reasonable time it is less effective but if you make bread regularly it won't be a problem.

I hadn't realised you could use the tin of dried yeast in the breadmaker, thanks will have to try that. I used to use the tins for making bread by hand. I kept it in the freezer and it kept forever even though I only made bread by hand occasionally

My instructions say milk or the equivalent quantity of water and powdered milk. If using the delay timer it says not to use fresh milk, especially in this weather because it will go off. I don't find any difference it taste or texture. Good luck with the bread maker, happy baking!!

Oh well, our latest effort of a cheese and onion loaf wasn't a great success.

It came out greasy. And very heavy.

OH used fresh chopped onions softened first and some grated cheddar. I added some cheese to the top of the loaf near the end of the cycle and I think I got carried away as it came out looking like ready made cheese on toast. :rotfl:

I have many talents, but they just don't seem to lie in the kitchen, lol.

I notice dried onion flakes or granules are recommended as well as cubed cheese (rather than grated) in another recipe so I might give it another go today.

I'm beginning to think I just wasted almost a hundred quid.......where's the crying smilie when you need it??!!

You'll get the hang of it. It's usually agood idea with a new thing to do all the simple and most straightforward things first, exactly to the recipe for the first time or two before spreading your wings on the smartypants stuff

By the sound of it - onion salt or onion flakes would be the way to go - and less cheese. I know you can't really have too much cheese... YUM... but some times enough is quite enou... er sufficient!

Yesterday I typed my cheese and onion bread recipe on your other thread.

It is for a Morphy Richards but you could adapt it.

Use onion granules or minced onion from a jar.

Use grated cheese at the stage that you would normally add oil.

I am useless but so far these have turned out perfectly.

Eh......don't think we've ever added oil? I think it's just been butter that we used and everything gets chucked in at the start.

Oh my...going to go read the book again......

You can use oil or butter, I use 1 tablespoon of veg oil, make sure you put the yeast in first then the flour, chuck everything else on top of it and add either water or dried milk and water.
I have the panasonic and it makes great bread but I have found that they do know whats best so until you get used to using the machine do exactly as the recipe says.

We have a caravan and I take the bread maker with me when we go on sites that have leccy, must admit I do not take it to France though, just go to the boulangerie each morning and sometimes later in the day as well!!! I have not tried the french bread recipe in the breadmaker book but am going to bring sosme french bread flour home with me and will give it a try and see what happens...... could be interesting!!!

when I said oil - i meant oil or butter.

In my machine you have to add evrything seperately and in a certain order ie - yeast last so it is on top of loaf - some machines do it the other way around.
