Do I need a bread maker?

[ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets]

Really? Do I?

DS and DP eat a lot of sandwiches and I do bake but not really bread as it always seems a bit faffy.

There's a Morphy Richards Fastbake for half price in Argos and I have some vouchers coming.

Is it worth it?

Am I going to be a huge fatty from eating lovely warm bread with loads of butter?

Tiger bread is just white bread with a special crust, I've made the Pink Whisk version, using my KC to knead, very successfully. You wouldn't be able to use a bread machine, except for the proving so you might as well use your Kenwood.

Maybe bread machines have improved since I had mine, it was a while ago. A lot of people on this thread are obviously very happy with theirs.

Wigeon I've only just seen your offer of your recipe.

Yes ease I'd love to see it

I've stopped using my breadmaker since I've started making James Morton's mug bread. Hang on, I'll find a link.

I sometimes add an egg and some butter to make an enriched dough. Chuck in a bit more yeast if you do.

Practically no kneading required. You have to hold your nerve the first time- it's a very wet dough and you think it's not going to work. But it does. Every time. And it will rise beautifully in the fridge overnight so you can put it in the oven when you get up and it'll be read to come out before you leave.
