Cheapest Bread Maker

amc1

I have bought the Morphy Richards Fastbake one from lxdirect for my wife for Christmas. Can someone pls tell me if it comes with the necessary ingredients for your 'first loaf' and, if not, what do I need to buy as I'm sure my wife will want to try it out asap.

Thanks,

Chipps

strong bread flour
instant yeast
water
salt
sugar
sunflower oil

edited to say: forgot the skimmed milk powder (eg marvel or own brand)

I was just wondering about the people who got the discount on the BM, how long did it take for the money to go back into your account?

I got my BM today & checked my bank account just now & its say that £43.50 has been taken out, nothing has gone back into my account & the money was taken out yesterday

I can't afford £43.50 so will have to send it back if i'm not going to get the discount

I have been waiting for five weeks for the discount from LXDirect when I placed my first order using a first time buyer code. I have had to phone three times and yesterday, yet again, was told it would be in my bank account in the next 7 days

Oh right, thanks for replying.

Do you think i should wait or should i call them?

I don't really want to start using it until i know i got it at the reduced price, £43 is just too much for me to pay out for a BM.

My refund actually went in before they took the money out - it was all on the same day, anyhow.

Any suggestions I have no idea where to start. Also would consider something other than the cheapest if it is better IYSWIM

Thanks guys.

Hi Sparkly.
I once bought a cheap BM from Asda,but returned it after about 3 or 4 attempts were awful.
I've now borrowed a Breville Compact from a colleague and just had my second attempt turn out horrible (although to be fair, I have no manual and have used a recipe found on internet - it may be okay with correct recipes).
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the Panasonic that everyone raves about. It may be expensive initially, but eventually it will pay for itself. I've only wasted money on ingredients so far.
