Who invented the automatic breadmaker? Give him/her a prize. I have always been too busy (and lazy) to make bread the traditional way but since buying a breadmaker I have been making up for lost time. There are so many machines out there to choose from but eventually I opted for the Panasonic and cannot fault it. Making a standard loaf takes about 5 minutes to prepare and 4 hours to bake and there are many mouth watering variations to try.
For my standard loaf I like to make 50% wholemeal (ingredients above). I use milk instead of the recommended water (if I have enough available on the day). Pop all the ingredients into the pan, starting with the dried yeast, then the flour and finally the liquid. Place the pan in the breadmaker and switch on.
Four hours later the loaf is ready, light brown and delicious.
I use Carrs breadmaker flour which is reaily available from all major supermarkets. Carrs have an excellent web site with some mouth watering recipes to try.
