Julie looks great I’ve already got the butter on it lol.
Ive never saw a bread maker before, sheltered life it seems and i Like your sealed jars in the background, very organised.
I have tried the “ready steady cook” flatbread recipe, its a piece of cake if you excuse the pun and I will try and post a pic next time I do it.
That bread has got my mouth watering what a beauty mmmmmm

Difficult to get at the moment although the flour availability is easing finally.
My machine is the Panasonic SD-ZB2502BXC which was £129 last September when I bought it to replace a cheaper machine that didn’t work anywhere near as well.
The beauty at the moment is that I can make proper bread without the salt & sugar, and, I don’t have to risk getting infected just buying bread. As all the local bakers are closed & the only fresh “bread” is the sugared & salted supermarket stuff together with the pre-packed & sliced “plastic bread”, it’s very useful.
Currently the most difficult item to obtain is the yeast, the machines use the dried pellet form & they are usually around £1 a tin, but I have no idea how much the gougers are selling them at now, they were unobtainium for a while. Local gougers are charging £4 a kg for flour, I paid £1 a kilo which is a high price but the flour is great, and you can get flour from Morrisons at £0.60 a kilo or £9 for the 16kg bag now.
Unobtainium (one is sealed full, the other 1/2 way through):
Julie how do you actually prepare the dough, what is the process? Do you through all your ingredients into a mixer then into your bread making machine or is the mixing done by hand ?
thanks for the reply and information

Selenium greyHow sad is it that I recognised the bread maker as a Panasonic?
They are well worth the money, especially if they are on offer. My wife thinks we get through the bread a bit quickly if we allow the bread maker to do it all, difficult to slice thinly. So, she usually lets the Panasonic process the dough and then puts that dough into loaf tins for the final rise and bake.
We haven’t had huge difficulty getting flour at all, though we do tend to always keep reasonable stocks as living on an Island in a fairly remote area we don’t have any very local shops. As said yeast was a little difficult to get but that seems to be sorted now. It did however give the opportunity to have some no-yeast soda bread. Yum!

Depends a bit on the breadmaker, mine has dispensers in the lid for fruit/grains and yeast, the yeast dispenser adds all the yeast at the right point in the mixing program (you can hear it quite distinctly).
The process is as follows:
1. put the kneeding blade onto the spindle inside the baking tin
2. weigh out & dump flour into baking tin
3. forget to add any salt into the baking tin (or put it in if you like it)
4. add butter to the baking tin
5. add tapwater to the baking tin
6. put the baking tin inside the breadmaking machine & twist to lock it into place
7. close the main lid, open the small lid & add the dried yeast granules to the yeast dispenser, then close small lid
8. plug the machine in & switch on
9. select the program (my usual is program 8, french bread, 6 hours)
10. select the delay timer (adds to the 6 hours) to have the bread ready when you wake up (8 hours)
The whole process takes maybe 5 minutes to get the machine going.
After the bread stops baking
1. Press stop
2. switch off and unplug machine
3. take out the bread tin containing hopefully risen & baked bread
4. perform the “free the bread from the bread tin and kneading paddle dance” which involves two oven gloves as the tin is very hot
5. let the bread cool down completely if you can wait that long
6. slice a couple of slices off with an electric knife (this is light fluffy bread with a crust & is a pig to cut with a normal bread knife, the electric knife makes short work of it, just watch you don’t cut your finger off when you get to the tail end of the loaf)

Not sad at all, anyone who uses a machine knows that the Panasonic ones are miles ahead of the competition and have been for years.
That bread looks delishious.
Try an electric knife to get a thinner slice, but watch your hands & finger, they’re nasty things (I think my chainsaw is safer, at least it demands respect).
