We have just bought about 10 kg of Shipton Mill flour. Now dp says he doesn't think it is suitable for the breadmaker. Anyone know?

Ledodgy, don't you start! I've been wrist slapped for not being lentilly enough already this week...

We have tried the 3 malt one miggy - this is the ordinary wholemeal type. Dp reckons it is not going to work :(

Is it too heavy? Mix it with white and experiment until you get something that works - try 50-50 first and then go up. Granary is also "brown" rather than wholemeal so you could mix that in.

shipton mill... yum

mix it with white (2/3 to 1\3 granary) to make it light enough for bread. 100% wholemeal will be too heavy IMHO.

why dont you just make one and see.

I dont usually buy bread machine flour I just buy "strong wholemeal, white etc." and they all seem to work in my Panasonic. I think it will be fine myself.

This all sounds encouraging, will put on a loaf later...

The reason we didn't want to just try it, was that we could probably return it if unopened.
