2011-12-01 New Bread Maker #3

We have had a bread maker for 8 years and after we moved to France 6 years ago it has been in use 3-4 times every week…..it was getting difficult to remove the bread from the pan as it was scratched a lot. Also we had heard that the new generation of bread makers allow for such things as altering humidity !!!

So we searched for a bread maker and decided on the morphy richards daily……we wanted one which was good for making dough (for pizza) as well. The first one I ordered from Amazon .fr it was dispatched from WALES and after a few days I began to look at the track your parcel….thingy. after 2 weeks I rang and asked and was told it had come to France but had been returned as ‘undeliverable’….maybe the label got washed off in the rain !

Undeterred I searched for one originating in France so as it didn’t have to cross the ‘Dover-Calais Triangle’ I found one which was refurbished but like new, so I bought it and a few days later it arrived…….all was good it was very simple to use and did make dough as well…….only thing was I forgot to check to PAN size……it was a titchy 0.4kg compared to our old  0.75kg so unless we wanted to bake EVERY day then we had to sell it….fortunately a friend of a friend wanted one just like that……..here is the loaf, good, but smaller than our butter dish!
