My product of the week

Has to be one of these . We stayed over at a friends a year ago who were enthusing about it. Coming into their kitchen with a lovely smell of fresh bread sold us the idea to get one too.

We also bought a kenwood food slicer to make cutting up the bread easier. We did this as we were used to buying ready sliced bread you see.

Apart from a few disasters all my own fault I have to say the machine has behaved itself impeccabley. We do not buy any bread now and my sandwiches are even better than they used to be. My favourite recipe has to be the five seeded bread but I omit the caraway seeds and just use sunflower, pumpkin, poppy and sesame. Others that are good are granary and a half and half recipe which is a 50% mix of granary and white flour.

You might think you do not have room for this machine in your kitchen but you can put it in any room that you do not use ( it makes a bit of noise that might keep light sleepers awake..). It also has a timer for setting it up overnight or during the day.

It also makes cakes and other items such as nann bread which was wonderful. For these types of recipes the machine is just used as a mixing machine.

One last thing to say whatever bread maker you buy. Always stick to the recipe amounts exactly. To do otherwise will tempt disaster...
