Bread making question :)

ok,so I use a bread maker now,and it's saved me LOADS of money,which is absolutely fab!
BUT
I wondered if anybody out there had tried making it with just SR flour?Or even just plain flour in order to save the pennies?
I only pay 48p for a bag of Strong flour,but was just curious to see if anyone out there saved more by using different flour

I've not tried just plain flour, but I always use about half/half strong and plain and they've turned out fine. I mainly make 50% wholemeal, so I guess it would actually be 50% wholemeal, 25% strong and 25% plain.some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it0

I've never tried wholemeal flour!Do you have to use a different technique for that (for the grains in it to soften?)Getting debt free...0

I always use economy plain flour in my breadmaker for ordinary white sliced type loaves and the bread is fantastic.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0

No, just chuck it all in. I've been using Dove's Organic Wholemeal; I've been buying it by the basket-full at reduced prices. I'm not sure why Tesco and Asda have been selling them so cheap (55p for a 1.5kg bag).
They've stopped selling it at my local Tesco now, but I got some in Asda last week - after I emptied the shelf there a few weeks ago.

LOL
I keep trying to stock up before the prices start hiking up more...I know flour is getting expensive,but it still works out cheaper to make my own than buy a loaf.Getting debt free...0
