No. I cooked something else and ate it. Now vegging out completely stuffed.
I'll probably have another go tomorrow. No point doing it now as I can't eat it until tomorrow so that would reduce its lifespan by a day unnecessarily.0 -
I've got a sofa bed, but it's too big to open out and too much effort as you have to strip it down and fold everything away and put the sofa away, then move everything else in the room back to where it was. No point doing that twice a day. So I just sleep on the sofa.In_Search_Of_Me wrote: »what do you sleep on then?

Well, I've never actually cut a loaf. I bought a bread knife and wasn't sure how difficult it would be to cut the bread thin enough to fit in the small toaster.
I might need a new (thick n thin) toaster yet!
It's expensive this breadmaking... BM £32, knife £9, bread mix/stuff £5, a chopping board to cut the bread on £1, a plastic storage thing to keep it in £1, new toaster ..?0 -

This OS lifestyle is expensive! Since hooking up on this forum, I've had a new slow-cooker, new breadmaker (well, second-hand but unused), stocked up on enough flour to produce a few months worth of bread (panic buying in case prices go up
), and am now considering young fruit/vegetable plants for the garden and pots to put them in.
Sorry about the bread though and better luck next time. If it happens again, maybe contact the manufacturer for any tips?some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it

Hi
Nothing useful to add, other than what has already been mentioned, but:
Do you have a Morrisons near you? If you don't want to store lots of flour and yeast etc they do some cheap mixes in bags which turn out lovely loaves.
I was able to get my BM from my mum and I love it.
MethererNot heavily in debt, but still trying to sort things out.

cutting the loaf takes a while to get the hang of!! There is a special widget that you ca get (lakeland?) so you get even slices but i quite like the fact that they arent even IYKWIM!! Initial outlay is expensive but worth it in the end me thinks & so much nicer!! Mind you I just wrap mine in tinfoil...Keep us posted!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

good luck with the next loaf - can I ask what setting you had it on for the first loaf?
Most breadmakers have a basic cycle which takes about three hours, and generally works well with most recipes.
The rapid ones arent so good, and ine has some bizzarre setting called 'H. Rapide' which I thought was fastbake, but it actally started cooking the dough before it had risen, and burnt the bottom, so I had to stop the programme before it started smoking!!?0
