My favourite 'sw...... or jerusalem artechoke?<br /><br /><br />My favourite 'sweetener' is barley malt extract. <br /><br />As noted, if you deviate from the manufacturers 'recipe' it can upset things. Once you do it can take ages to figure out what works. Change the sweetener or even the brand of flour and it can make a difference. The kneeding power of the machine is a boon even if you do the second rise and bake 'manually'. I generally don't get around to doing this, except when making pizza.Mal's Allotmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349857165496487250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-54900410776389723802011-02-12T08:39:29.904+00:002011-02-12T08:39:29.904+00:00No breadmaker here, but by coincidence I came home...No breadmaker here, but by coincidence I came home from work yesterday to discover that teenage daughter, on half term holiday, had baked bread. It was wonderful to come home to the scent of freshly baked bread. It went to long way to erasing what had been a **** day in a **** week.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-8237704827583131202011-02-11T20:31:01.334+00:002011-02-11T20:31:01.334+00:00We have a bread-maker too, and it is used a lot - ...We have a bread-maker too, and it is used a lot - probably twice a week on average - and we have been very pleased with the results. My wife Jane often uses the machine to make dough for cooking in the oven rather than in the machine itself - e.g. rolls, ciabatta, Spelt loaf etc.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-36436375335886460542011-02-11T17:19:05.374+00:002011-02-11T17:19:05.374+00:00I used to make my own bread...but not for a long t...I used to make my own bread...but not for a long time now. I've never used a bread maker though...just the hand method and i used to like using fresh yeast too...it was good but took quite a lot of time and so it went by the by with other commitments....never thought about a bread maker...then again I don't even have a hand mixer..everything gets beaten by hand....maybe i should invest in some of these new novelties!!allotments4youhttp://www.allotments4you.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-10418337529238885332011-02-11T10:54:07.136+00:002011-02-11T10:54:07.136+00:00Our breadmaker is used lots - most weeks more than...Our breadmaker is used lots - most weeks more than once. As I understand it different makes of breadmaker have different results with some being really poor. Some friends had problems using a breadmaker the same make as ours but it turned out that they weren't following the recipes to the dot and putting too much liquid in as they thought it needed it! Now they end up with perfect bread too.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-66926558676566145482011-02-11T08:28:35.117+00:002011-02-11T08:28:35.117+00:00I have a breadmaker and I don't use it.

It's a huge improvement on my previous efforts! It also means I don't pop to the shops for a loaf and end up spending £20 on impulse buys.
