Lakeland Bread Maker

we had never used a bread maker before and many years since making bread manually this has been a revelation....easy to use and smashing bread. have not experimented yet but we are certainly going to expand our repertoire.

Only used bread mixes so far but is making delicious bread.

I use this machine mainly to make dough for bread buns although I have made a loaf successfully. My only gripe is the recipe book. I have had bread makers for a number of years but thought I would use the recipe one rather than my usual but was disappointed at the cup measures and the amount of sugar recommended. I did try but found the resulting bread very sweet so went back to my previous recipe which was very successful.

Good, clear instruction booklet with helpful info and recipes to get started. Went off piste with first go & made a sticky gingerbread from another recipe booklet - turned out beautifully - light yet moist and perfectly cooked. Now on sundried tomato bread - not baked yet but smelling so delicious and rise looks good. Going to work my way through the recipe book & looking forward to having homebaked bread, cakes, jams and yoghurts. Cannot compare to other bread makers but would definitely recommend as a first bread maker - reasonably priced, well constructed & easy to clean.

We already had the 1lb cream Lakeland breadmaker but wanted a bigger one. We have been really pleased with this machine. It is easy to use and the instruction booklet very easy to follow. What we don't understand is the smaller machine instructions advise 1 teaspoon of caster sugar, the new machine, for the same size loaf, advises 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. The loaf is much too sweet and wonder if this is a mistake? There is also no mention of milk powder in the new instructions? Obviously we have adjusted the recipe. Would recommend this machine.
