  • If your having problems, take a look at:

    I know it's for panasonic but the same bacis faults happen.
    Lets get this straight. Say my house is worth £100K, it drops £20K and I complain but I should not complain when I actually pay £200K via a mortgage:rolleyes:

    I have the morphy richards and i have a problem with the kneading blade. it's always stuck in the bottom of the loaf so that i have to cut off the bottom crust and have to prise it out, leaving a hole in the middle of the next slice.

    So any good tips would be appreciated folks...:j
  • When you remove the pan from the bread maker, do you try and shake it loose straight away?

    Try leaving for 5 minutes and the bread shrinks and it's much easier.

    mine has got stuck before but I find it prizes out quite easily when the loaf has cooled down. The "hole" doesn't really bother me - reminds me that my bread is homemade :D , however perhaps the paddle is a bit smaller on the Tesco BM?

    I have been using my MILs old breville Bm and have been quite disappointed by the results. On medium the top was ok but the bottom was over done so I tried it on light - bottom ok but top anaemic . Since then Iv just used the dough setting and made rolls for us instead. Im hoping its the BM so iv just ordered a panasonic and am waiting for it to arrive. Everyone with a panny does seem to love it and to be honest im thinking of buying bread again as ther breville is rubbish - so maybe the panny will stop me from eatting shop bread again!!

    well as we speak there is 30 mins left to run on yet another bread making session :o

    I had a ready-mix granary packet and I followed the instructions on the back and not my manual, plus I didn't add quite so much water.


    well this one came out spot-on :D Lovely texture and good size loaf - just like shop bought, however it was ready-mix - I just used less water.

    I'd still like to make a loaf from ingredients. I have strong white and wholemeal flour, dried fast-acting yeast at home - does anyone have any good fool-proof bread recipies for a BM? I'd like wholemeal preferably ;)

    I have a MR and don't use any of the recipes that you get in the manual as they all call for loads of sugar and I don't use milk powder either.

    Here are a couple of recipes that I tried this week and they came out fine, get your mum to try these:


    Small Basic White

    210ml water
    375g white bread flour
    1½ teaspoons salt
    1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    25g/1oz butter (spread etc)
    1 teaspoon fast action yeast

    Small loaf, pale, programme 1 (Basic white)

    Small Brown Loaf

    280ml water
    250g brown bread flour
    125g white bread flour
    1½ teaspoon granulated sugar
    1½ teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon fast action yeast

    I set it to small loaf, light colour and programme 1(Basic white)

    :)


    I had to register to say thanks for these two recipes.... I went out last week after reading this thread at a friends and I bought a breadmaker.... The recipe book witht he breadmaker is hopeless.... I use these two recipes all the time and in a week have doe 10 white and 12 brown loaves.... for myself and my mum :D :money:

    Hi Claire

    Brill!

    I prefer the brown ones than the white, they seem to be lighter in my bread maker than the white ones.

    I'm glad that they turned out for you.

    I tend to only make the small ones as I still buy white bread for toast (our 9 year old doesn't like homemade bread toasted) so a small brown lasts us a couple of days.

    I bought one of those klip fresh food containers from Tesco (the 2.4ltr one) for £3.50 and the small loaves fit into these perfectly. Mine keep in this for at least 3 days.

    If you want the recipes for the large loaf send me a pm and I will send you the details.

    :)
