Breadmaker recipes!

Sorry to hear that.  I'd be interested to know which one you got and where from.  Our neighbours lent us theirs (Morphy Richards) ages ago and we've been using that.  I've been looking to buy one, but they are out of stock everywhere, except for the super-expensive ones!

Hope you get yours sorted, how disappointing for you.

It was their latest model, beginning 20 (can't recall it just now.) Damaged unfortunately so I won't name the seller as they appear to be dealing with it properly, money not refunded yet so not quite sorted. It was a very neat unit so I might try one again if I can find it in stock!? My present one is an old Prima, the bread pan is larger than MR and the unit is large and hefty.

Thanks for that, brue, it was MR I had been looking at.  You're quite right in not naming the supplier while a refund is being sorted.  I'll keep looking on 't internet for one, should be able to get one at some point!  We've got our neighbour's breadmaker for the time being and they're not bothered about getting it back yet, but I just don't like keeping something I've borrowed for too long.

Good luck with the refund and sourcing another one.

I've got a cheese and onion loaf on the go at the moment. I'm a bit unsure about it because it's a recipe I got online and uses "cups" as measurements. When I looked up exactly what a "cup" meant I got as many different answers as sources. And it's different for flour and liquids! And I'm not sure if it's  US cups or UK cups! We'll just have to wait and see - the proof of the loaf will be in the eating (if it turns out to be edible at all!) 

Moulesy. I've got a Canadian recipe book, it says 1 cup = 250 ml liquid and 250 ml dry.....if that's any help and I've  looked at the back of the book just now and its says a cup is a standard 8 fluid ounce! Bring back Mary Berry and Delia. 

Hope the end result is tasty! 

Just an update, I got a refund but can't find a replacement anywhere! 

Good news about the refund  no, I've been looking for a while, but can't find any either.  Neighbours aren't bothered about having theirs back, so we can keep it however long we want; it's just that I don't like keeping hold of something borrowed for too long.

Got plenty of flour, yeast is a bit more difficult to come by, but still have enough for 6 loaves, so hopefully in the meantime will be able to get some more.

OH was saying she had noticed breadmakers were out of stock pretty much everywhere.  I wonder if all those who bought them up will continue to use them!

We have found that it is far more difficult to get bread flour than to get bread, which was only snapped up in the first couple of weeks of lockdown.  

Lidl now have strong white flour, but no wholemeal, and yeast is difficult to find.  Fortunately, as it turned out, we had bought dried yeast just before lockdown as we forgot we had already bought some, so still have 2 tins.  Plus we found some big bags of strong white in Tesco just after lockdown so were able to stock up for us and DD....only 2 bags each.

I'm ok for flour, I like having the big bags from the mill. Down to my last supply of yeast, can't find any more at the moment.

We never did manage to get any flour from the Mill, Matthews,  OH got locked out as they said they did not recognise her e mail, but then said she could not register afresh as her e mail was already in use!

She e mailed them and asked for them to resolve the problem,  but  they did not reply, so a customer lost, which we found very disappointing as they have some interesting flours.
