I know this is lazy, but has anyone tried this, or a similar recipe, in a breadmaker?

Should I use strong flour for this or just normal plain flour. Doing muy grocery shop at tesco online so thoughtt I would ask while I remmeber,

I used strong for mine and it was deelish, Vez.

Caroline 7758 sorry don't have a breadmaker yet.  (It's on my Christmas wish list).

Thanks Jill I will add that to my shopping list. I have an overload of courgettes. My first couple of plants did not seem to be doing well, so silly me sowed more. Now they are all producing lots of fruit.

the nreadmaker is a great idea. i will have a go at that. probably the slow setting to give plenty of time for the dough to rise - the courgete makes it a little on the heavy side as far as rising goes - if i remember right from last year :)

How did the breadmaker version turn out Svea?

[Svea]

not yet done, sorry. will do next week or so.
i asked for the recipe in preparation, you see.

Had a go in the breadmixer this afternoon...............this is where I say how delicious it was...........when it fully cools down I'll use it as a door stop for the garage.

what setting did you use? i can see how it would need a lot of time to rise.
maybe the dough setting is the most helpful on the breadmaker - at least that gets automated then?

[MikeB]

what setting did you use?

Brick :D :D

The wholewheat setting, first off it spilled over the side covering the heating element, so we had to live with the smell of burning bread whilst the rest of it cooked.  The loaf then collasped, the final texture was a sort of doughy blob.  Used Tims recipe, but only 1 packet of yeast and 130ml water, needs less water and more skill. ???
