Now, I've put this thread on here rather than 'Food', cos I want the opinion of 'normals' rather 'foodies'. (PLEASE don't anyone take offence at this terminology, we don't have to be too PC on here, do we?)

OK......I live alone, and am thinking of getting a breadmaker, simply because I can't get any decent bread within walking distance. It's flippin' rubbish (You can take as much offence at this as you like.......)

Is it worth the expense, and will I use it, not put on too much weight cos the bread's so bloody gorgeous.....

I've done all the research, a Panasonic's apparantly THE one to get, but I'm still dithering.

Help me out here normals, please. Thank you.

squaredog I usually make a couple a week - an Italian recipe with polenta, sunflowers seeds and pumpkin seeds. I will probably also use it for pizza dough and perhaps make a batch of rolls.

My breadmaker is from Aldi or Lidl - can't remember which. It was €39.99 and it had a 3 year guarantee which is way past now. I use it every other day because I can't bear shop bought bread. And if I think I won't use the whole loaf within a couple of days, I cut it in half eat one and freeze the other. Life's too short to knead and prove dough!
