Can anyone help me please?

Is it any good? Is there anything I should make sure it has on it- extra gadgets etc? and do you use it often?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm clueless about them. I just know I'm sick of eating yukky shop bought bread that goes off after 2 days and I'm too bone idle to go shopping everyday !!! lol xx

mines just a basic one but makes lovel bread even has timer so you can delay start my sister sets hers to come on about 4am so she has it still warm wen she gets up.

I have one....really good bread! The only trouble is that it gets eaten before it even gets cold lol....not done much experimenting but use the 'quick bake' and it's very good!

nothinkg betta than home made warm bread

used to m ake it meself, but kneeding is hard

breadmaker would just get flung in back of cupboard

*considers buying one*

Just asking my OH....................

*won't be getting one*

Blimey, I haven't been on here for ages! I love my breadmaker! Only problem with it is the hole in the bread left by the kneading blade - try and get one that has a kneading blade that flops down. Mines a Morphy Richards compact. they come with a small recipe booklet - porridge bread is fantastic!

We make jam in ours - it doubles as both.

Claire is obviously more refined than me - my paddle flops down, hers descends!

Yes They are good Makes lovely grain bread and best of all its hubby who makes It!!
Ours does leave a hole in bottom from paddles but thats no magor problem
Have even taken ours on holiday with us
Margaret!!

Yep get one Muffy.

I not only bake bread in mine, I use it to make the dough for rolls and pizza too.

It all comes out perfect everytime. The only downside is the amount of drooling you do smelling it :)

*watches and takes notes*

Julie........watch that pizza doesn't burn *tuts* :))

Brilliant. thanks everyone. I 'm definately going to get one then. I love bread but I hate the stuff you buy in the shops and as I said I'm way too lazy to go shopping for fresh everyday !!

Daft question time........ I know I'll need yeast but what else? lol.xx

flour

its ok kitty

i think it got another 5 mins yet,
gotta make sure chickens hot in middle!!!!!!!!!

flour, sugar, salt and milk

I got a middle of the range one its a Kenwood. I did a bit of research before buying one and spoke to a few people that have them.

Three things I looked for was to make sure it had:

1. A quick loaf (about an hour) as well as a standard one which can take up to three (fast loaves are good).

2. A setting where it beeps if you want to add nuts or dried fruit ( you shouldnt really add them at the start)

3. and finally a timer - cos if you want to do a fresh loaf for the mornign its easier to set the imer for a few hours before you get up.

My only other tip is to use powdered milk not fresh if using the timer.

Self raising or plain???

Sorry I'm a real non Nigella type but I'm trying to be more domestic lol xx

Well done Julie :))

See, now it's getting a bit technical for me, so I think I will perfect my sloww cooker cooking and pie baking before I get too adventurous. lol
