I persevered for a year or so ...and yes it was handy ...and yes it rose well etc etc ...but I didnt enjoy the sweetness of the loaf. I tried reducing the sugar but it made the bread heavey so I gave up and gave it away ...bet you could have come to my rescue LOL ...I love the smell of fresh bread and the taste of almost cold bread with butter and jam.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-34347163805878153632011-09-25T15:07:50.117+01:002011-09-25T15:07:50.117+01:00Hi Angela I love mine too.

I am not too clever at kneading by hand because of arthritis so tend to rely on the bread machine for doing this; although from time to time I do make it by hand. Although I am in the mood for experimenting a bit at the moment. I was bought up to proper bread (my mum and Nan used to make it) but OH likes sliced bread. He is left handed and my bread knife does not suit him. He is quite happy to eat it and quite likes it if I am around to cut it though and it soon disappears then. The last loaf I only got one slice out of!<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Pattypan<br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-20921805664409264452011-09-25T14:56:09.221+01:002011-09-25T14:56:09.221+01:00I love my PANASONIC bread machine, it was an unexp...I love my PANASONIC bread machine, it was an unexpected gift about 12 years ago, and is still going strong. The timer facility and rapid bake facility are both great.<br />But on holiday, my husband loves to make and knead it all by hand.<br />Best of both worlds!<br />blessings xAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
