New bread machine!

[topsi]

Have just got the new Panassonic bread machine for my birthday, what should I make first?

Bread. A nice simple loaf - then have some toast with loads of butter and jam. You'll wonder why you ever bought shop stuff!

Definitely get the basic bread taped. The Panasonic recipe is pretty reliable, unlike others I've tried. Once you can do that you can adjust the type of flour and add various bits and pieces. I tend to ignore all the different programmes and just use the 'basic' and 'rapid' programme for everything. Never fails!!!

How lovwly. Have the panasonic too. my first loaf was the XL white loaf. I made all the sizes as I wanted to see which one suited us best.

When you measure out your flour, try and memorize how much it is in "cup measurements" so you don't have to always weigh your flour.

We also dont weigh out our butter anymore either, all done by eye.

The spiced fruit loaf is quite nice.

I found that making the pizza dough was good, although it could have used more flour as was very sticky coming out.

Did the basic loaf overnight. I am so impressed as it came out perfect first time and I was sure that there would be teething problems!
Can't wait to try the brioch
