Hints & Tips
Choosing a bread machine can be difficult but we highly recommend the Panasonic SD-255 Automatic Breadmaker (now replaced by the Panasonic SD-2501 WXC Automatic Breadmaker which is the newer model – see below). Although more expensive than some models, the Panasonic machines produce great results and we have had ours for some years now.
We prefer Waitrose Canadian Strong White Flour which produces good results and flavours every time. Traditionally milled, it is sold by Waitrose in 1.5 kg bags.
