chuck it... qahtan
Have you tried using a food processor. qahtan
Sorry RobinoftheHood, I hope you will enjoy your machine, sure you will. But breadmaking is so satisfying, and doing without machine you can be so much more productive (like qahtans 5 loaves. ) Just need freezer space!. Also you can make up dough, cover, leave in fridge overnight and bake fresh in the morning...... but can't help with advice on the machine as have never had one.
The delay can work a treat - AFAIR it waits unmixed. This really isnt a problem as long as the yeast is kept dry. The general idea is to add the liquid ingredients first, then the dry ones, and finally the yeast. This bangs on a bit but...http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/breadmachinemanual.htm
Seen other peoples and eaten the results ;D
One more question - anybody made Spelt loaves in a machine? If so, do you have a recipe?
