Trying to lose weight? Me too. So we'd both better avoid this. 1250 calories per slice!

I did a quick white loaf in the breadmaker this morning, so we had fresh bread for lunch. I fried up some leftover potato, and had chip butties.

Want to lose weight? Just get the pesky leg amputated and replace with a carbon fibre pirate peg. You're welcome. |

A breakfast loaf - I like it dense, so I adapted a short (3 hour) recipe from the Panasonic breadmaker cookbook. I use a multigrain bread mix.  |

Anyway, my latest attempt:
Recipe here. Made a half batch as it's my first go at these. |

 A loaf just out of the breadmaker - a simple recipe that uses only yeast, flour, salt and vegetable oil, and takes just under 2 hours to bake. Fresh bread for lunch! |

it's a matter of taste... Does bread taste better baked in a five hundred quid oven or will it taste the same in a 59 quid oven. I’m referring to price of ovens not taste of Tesco bread 🍞 over fresh baked loaves. Unfortunately we had a bakers over the road from us and he retired it’s now a pizza shop 😞 so I miss my fresh bread |

"Unfortunately we had a bakers over the road from us and he retired it’s now a pizza shop 😞 so I miss my fresh bread"
To quote Don who has just got my mouth watering at a memory!
When I was a kid, there was a bakery near us and every Saturday morning mum would want one of us to go there and bring back two large poppy seed bloomers (as an aside- does anyone sell poppy seed bloomers anymore? Not seen them in years). We used to fight amongst ourselves for the job. Then the winner would run down there ("Speights" it was called) and queue up for the bread, which would still be warm from the oven or if you timed it right baking hot
To the victor the spoils because when you got back mum would cut the first slice (we called it the topper and I still like getting the topper off a loaf at either end, yes, mum called the last slice a topper as well) slather it with butter, which as it was still warm would just melt into it and strawberry jam.
It was heavenly!

I still remember "Young's" the bakers where we used to get our bread, long gone now, long gone even before I moved from Acton.
I bake my own bread now, doing it by hand, no need for a bread maker, I'm the bread maker.
