Panasonic Bread Maker

I replaced my worn out Panasonic SD206 which was used almost daily. The SD-2501 makes excelent bread and is easy to use, HOWEVER, the "bleep" is inaudible unless you are in the same room within a few feet. It is mush softer than its predecessor. With modern digital technology I am surprised that the makers don't incorporate a pre-setable "volume control"

I had never made bread before and could not believe I would get it right, even in a machine. The Lakeland ladies "help" gave me the courage to try - and my first attempt using an American gluten free recipe using 5 types of high protein flour (including chestnut - delicious!) and several eggs, turned out perfectly; all in 1 hour 55 minutes too (apart from measuring time.) Wonderful bread, medium light very even texture, easy to slice, quite filling so lasts longer and very nutritious. My 95 year old father loves it. Just going to make some more and try different recipes.

I bought this to replace my beloved Panasonic SD255 (sadly no longer made), which died a lingering death due to many years of daily baking perfect gluten free loaves. As this is the replacement model, I hoped it would be the same or better, alas my first few attempts at gluten free bread (same recipe as before)were not good. I've re-jigged the recipe and once again have a loaf fit to eat. It is a very quiet machine, as is the beeper that lets you know the bread is ready which I can't hear it unless I'm in the kitchen. Not the SD255 but as a Panasonic lots better than other machines.
