Today I murdered some yeast!!!

lostkat · 17-03-2008, 20:34

Bought a bread maker today with the vouchers that Leon's Dad gave us for Christmas. It's a Panasonic one, but not the all singing all dancing one. This one doesn't have a viewing window (wtf?) or an automatic nut dispencer

It's just produced its first loaf... I feel like a proud parent *sniff*

Made it with sourbread flour and it's SOOOOOO light. Can't wait to snaffle it all down for tea later

Only one problem.... it was on "small" setting

God I love the smell from freshly baked bread, and coffee. I'd happy bin it after and produce another pot and loaf just to have the house smelling like that.

Mmmmm looks great. I'd love a breadmaker but have a feeling I'd use it once and the novelty would wear off :/

Feek · 17-03-2008, 21:16

Looks like the same one we've got.
I'm going to put some on in a bit for being ready in the morning for fresh bread bacon sarnies!

/edit - arse, no flour

I really ought to drag mine out of hiding and make some. I've made very view with mine as I really couldn't be bothered at the time, but it's true - freshly baked bread is far better.

Mmmmmmmmmm freshly made bread.

Always wanted a bread machine.

Three things stopping me.

1) Will Power. I would just nom nom nom nom instantly and balloon to the size of a cottage.

2) Space. I have no where to put it in our already - crammed - full - kitchen (God help us if we move house and get a smaller kitchen! *eak*!)

3) Canny afford to buy one. Though I'm sure buying one would make up money wise as bread is sooooo expensive now!

*still wants one*

*resists argosing it*

My parents have a bread maker, and use it pretty much every other day. They almost never have supermarket bread these days. The bread from a bread maker is so far superior to supermarket stuff I don't blame them

I seldom buy bread anymore - it's become just part of the routine making our own bread. It's much tastier too

Looks delish Kate.

I like just making the dough so that I can make rolls for my sandwiches for the week etc... It's fun and not a bore IMO.

Holy ****....look at the size of that thing

My mum has a bread maker but I don't think she uses it as much now. Bread was really nice from it though

Still very pleased with our bread maker with is also a Panasonic (based on recomendations from people here). The curry and mango bread in the recipie book that comes with the machine is very good wiith some nice chedder cheese.

I like the idea of having fresh bread whenever I want it and the whole process is so easy that I never 'can't be bothered', the only negative is that the bread tends to stale faster then shop bought but then it hasn't got all the preservatives in it that shop bought has which makes me happy

Tastes a darn sight better too.
