Am in Love, again!

[difflock]

With a Panasonic Breadmaker.

Wife bought hersel one a few weeks ago.

it is simply stupendous the difference in "real" bread.

The simplest meal becomes an absolute treat.

Poached eggs on buttered bread, Cheese toasties , Soup (home made of course) with bread.

Yada Yada Yada.

This from someone who has been fed the best of Organic wholemeal from Sainsburys Supermarket.

etc etc

Mind 800g each loaf has 30 to 50 pence worth of flour alone in it (bought in the biggest bags too)

Old Mr Montgomery who drove the bread cart when I were a nipper 45 years ago, said even then, of the "Pan" Loaf

 

"This shite's not bread, its only stiffened water"

He warnt wrong, even away back then.

Cheers

Could not agree with you more. Bread makers are worth their weight in gold

[daveindales]

Tend to agree. Better than bought bread. But nothing I've tried over the years beats my nans home baked bread. Sadly, she's no longer with us, but that bread which she made on a Wednesday, and delivered fresh to us, still makes my mouth water today.

Same as................. [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t3njBw0G6k]UHT milk![/ame]

we bought one to see if it was any good at gluten free bread.

 

Months and a mountain of different recipes later we decided It wasn't

[Paul Barton]

Had one for a few years but gave it to a mate in the end. The bread was nice but comes out a strange shape loaf and only keeps for about two days.

[Mortimer Firewood]

Mums got the Panasonic one and to be fair it does make a good shape loaf and very tasty.

 

They don't last long as other have said I'm guessing this is because they have no preservatives in them .

[Bren.]

We make a loaf every day.

Top tip, Make the dough in the bread maker, leave it for an hour after its finished to rise some more. tip it onto a tray and then pop it into the oven for 40-45 minutes.

Makes a much nicer loaf, with a proper crust.

Shelf life is NOT an issue.

But anyway, despite knowing bought bread is "full" o preservatives, surely real bread should keep, dry out yes, but not "rot".

Then breadcrumb it , make Croutons, or toast it?

PS

In wor house a smidgen of blue-mould is not unheard of.

Best eaten with Blue cheese wot left the shop as Cheddar or perhaps Brie.

Isn't in our house either. Waiting for it to cool is a big enough challenge.
