…from the new kitchen.

A sense of Smell!

Warming Up

Mmm! Tastey

After a few years absence, it was so nice to taste fresh home made bread :-)

    You are NOT going to believe this!
    I also got the same model from Panasonic. :o

    Now, I wish they got an extra button to do slicing…

      You mean yours didn’t come with the added extra that can slice the bread to perfection…

      The added extra can slice produce all required bread slices; thick, medium and millimetres and all sizes in-between. It doesn’t have a button though :-)

    Nothing like home-made bread! Looks delicious and very tasty. And even the machine looks cool. And I like the photographs, particularly the one with the bread-

    I am so glad that you got yourself a bread maker Cherie… and your presentations is great…. but is your bread so hard that you need all of those knives to cut through it… lol….peter:)

    I’ve never eaten home made bread… and I am quite surprised to see that Panasonic produces also this kind of appliance. Do you use leavening for preparation of bread?

    • CherryPie says:

      The Panasonic has always been the Rolls Royce of bread makers. The yeast for leavening goes in the bottom of the pan, then the dry ingredients go in after that with the liquid on top so it doesn’t get in contact with the yeast too soon.

      The machine does all the mixing and proving and then bakes the bread. It is delicious when it first comes out of the pan :-)

      I had some lovely loaves out of it a few years back, I am not quite sure why it fell by the wayside. But now there is enough space for the bread maker to be easily accessible at all times :-)

      I am looking forward to trying out some of the seed and fruit breads.

    Watch that waistline.

      It will be better for the waistline than shop bought. I can cut it as thin as I like and that is very very thin for sandwiches, because I like more filling than bread :-)

    I used to bake my own bread and had a Kenwood food processor. I gave the latter to my Polish friends for a Christmas present because Violetta had said she would like one, and it would get more use in her new house with her family than stuck in my kitchen cupboard.

    My friends of Irish stock loved my soda bread, and when Kathleen’s sister came over here from New Zealand she took a loaf of soda bread back with her to New Zealand.

    A neighbour gave me a breadmaker just before Christmas, she had only used it once. I will have to give it a whirl again soon…

      There are lots of different recipes for my machine which I intend to experiment with. I will be interested to know what you think if you try out your breadmaker.

      Mine replaces an older version that had got worn out. The recipes for the new machine were different than the old one. The from this one is even nicer somehow.

    We have just bought a new Panasonic after our last 15 year old one started developing some problems. Like the new features in this one like not having to use dried milk for instance and having a spelt and rye programme.

    • CherryPie says:

      The model I replaced with this one used to use dried milk. The new bread recipes taste much nicer without. The bread seems softer and keeps longer too.
