Panasonic Bread Maker

Excellent bread, haven’t had a bad one yet, so easy to use and great having bread without any preservatives. I have made all sorts of bread from granary to fruit bread and they have turned out fantastic

Pleasantly surprised by the results, followed a couple of recipes and all have been much nicer than shop brought with out the rubbish. it is small, so makes a small loaf but as this is exactly what I was after it is perfect. it is bit nosey at the kneading stage but to be expected

Bought to make bread for 1. I've used basic, wholemeal and rapid menus. Sometimes I add mixed grains or malted grain. If you have more European tastes you can leave out the sugar from the recipes without a problem. The crust will be a bit lighter. Adding ingredients is in reverse order to most machines and there's an initial rest period. Seemed odd at first but the results are great and consistent.

Haven't tried it yet - impossible to find sensible instructions. The Only ones given appear to be written by an insurer's lawyer "do not operate under water" etc. Is this a cheapskate firm that is too mean to provide a decent instruction leaflet?

We bought this machine a couple of months ago and have used it a lot with some great results; it's the perfect size for the two of us. My gripe (as with other people) is the shortage of recipes for proper bread - I'm not interested in Aperol Citrus cake! I've tried halving other bread recipes but the loaves are a bit on the small side. Fortunately I've discovered a guy called Bread Dad who has 1lb loaf recipes which, so far, are really good, so I feel much more positive about the machine now and look forward to experimenting more.
