Made a loaf with the new Panasonic breadmaker.  Totally different taste to the previous Morphy Richards.  Softer and a lighter taste.  I guess it was nicer as it made a larger loaf and was all eaten within 2 hours of being baked :)   Another is cooking as I post......

Maybe you dont wanna be Kev, made a loaf today after not using the breadmaker for nought but dough for a year, (KT spurred me on!) sorted out onion bread, 4 1/2 hours making time, Oh smelt summut funny and thought the house was going to burn down, lifted lid n dropped it, result? Onion brick!
I did point out as it hadn't been used in ages it was the flour burning on the elements!
So much as I would love to send you the loaf........................it would cost a fortune! But on the plus side am thinking of going into bricklaying  ;D

I cannot recommend enough simply bashing together flour, water, yeast, salt, by hand.

Takes 20  minutes into pans. One rise in airing cupboard. 40 minutes in oven. Job done.

Machines cook one loaf at a time? We get three big loaves in less time. Also I like lots of seeds baked on the outside - sesame, pumpkin.
