    Lots of things you can do with bread, whether it new or old.
    I just had savoury French toast made from stuff in fridge that needed using mostly and some of that lovely Brioche I made.

    Nice it was.

    When I first bought the Morphy Richards £75.00 brand new in the box.....This is the first loaf from the bread machine..you must follow the recipes to the letter, or you will get a failed loaf...but follow the instructions and this is what you will get from your bread machine...It may not be an artisan loaf...but it is far better than the shite you buy in supermarkets...it has a great crust and tastes wonderful...you tip the ingredients into the machine, in the order the instructions say...close the lid, choose the program and push a button...then go sit down...and this is what you'll get from the machine 3 hours later....

    That does look delicious Grant, but are you sure that bread was made in a machine?...

    ha, yes its machine made. was a recipe for brioche that was in book. about 3 1/2 hrs, 2 eggs and a lot of butter in it. it cuts very well but is quite light too. thick but softish crust. will make it again. got olives in so an olive bread too sometime soon.

    used instant yeast in it too instead of my usual active yeast starter, as there was an initial rest period without yeast at beginning. it drops yeast in itself. you have to add extra cold butter in a third way through

    Sure it's better than supermarket white shite. And yes I did know Grant made his brioche in a bread machine before I made that comment

    I thought he'd fried it just right. Hence the comment.

    im inclined to say that if you do it right, a bread machine will produce superb bread every time. probably more accurate than in an oven and by hand. thats not to say you can really do sourdough in a machine well; you cant, but it will be ok. tbh a bread machine is for general good quality bread with a good reliability if you do it correctly.. use good heast and good flour; get hydration right and you wont go far wrong.
    I made bread by hand for years then fell out of love doing it, often because of failures.. Years later i invested in a cheap machine to try, and was impressed enough to buy a pana... ive used it for many years and it still works but decided to upgrade to the latest as the pan was getting worn etc. i will keep old one for emergencies etc.
    sure you cant get a quarter inch hard as nails crust and a big bubbly, chewy inner but tbh i want a nicer softer bread now.

    i used to make sourdough but im not keen on taste now.

    Each to their own, Grant.

    People need to make their own decisions and conclusions.

    Since bread machine and hand made loaves are different I think we need two separate threads.

    Agreed everyone? Or not?
