JtP is right - good flour is the key to good bread.

Any 'strong' flour will do the job - but try some of the flours from Wessex Mill - their Wessex Cobber and Onion Bread flours are just wonderful.

Mine`s a Morphy Richards and I love it. I`ve never bought a loaf of bread since I had it (about 7 years)
..and if you want Johnny Depp, he`s living about 1/4 mile down the road from me. I go past his place on my way back from WeightWatchers and he`s there at the moment (his car`s there) or should I stay his massive big, black American 4x4 which stands out like a sore thumb is there.

OOOOOooooo 237SJ....where do you live.....a post code will do lol I am so jealous right now!

In the Richmond borough (I`d better not be too specific much as I`d love to)! It`s such an unassuming house - you`d never guess someone like him lives there. I`d heard he was around because I know someone that claims to have seen him but I didn`t know for sure until someone in my pub quiz team said Johnny parks his Jeep outside his house. This particular guy said he would point the house out when we left the pub quiz and it turns out I had parked right across the road from it. He`s been filming around here (part of Pirates was filmed here) and maybe he liked the area. He`s got quite a few houses around the world.

Right! Will be visiting your area this weekend and sniffing for freshly baked bread....then walking in a circle of a quarter mile around it!

Even more jealous now :0(

Getting back to the bread machine, I've got the panasonic one and I have hardly used it. It just doesn't make a big enough loaf for us but it is easy to use and the fruit loaf recipe is lovely (sadly, it's in the garage collecting dust).

You might be in luck. I don`t think he`s with Vanessa anymore. We`re not in Richmond though. The press thought he`d go to Richmond (he didn`t), the local estate agents thought he`d to to Teddington (he didn`t). He came here. Rumour has it he`s been seen in the local Waitrose. I was thinking I might knock on his door and ask if he wants me to get him anything from Aldi :-)

Agree about supermarket bread being crappy. Also a lot of people believe brown bread is healthy when a lot of it is just dyed with caramel. Best breadmaker is your paws in a bowl. By baking in small batches when oven has been hot for something else is quite economical.

Oh here she goes......

[divegirl]

Oh and come on 237SJ.....just a 'ickle clue....will love you forever xxxxx

[237SJ]

Ok then. I`m probably not breaking the official secrets act. It`s 4 stops from the end of the line on SW Trains Shepperton route. Someone did Tweet something about seeing him in the area (although that was a bit up the road)

[237SJ]

The Shepperton end by the way (not the Waterloo end or that would mean he`s living in a bit of a sh1thole)!

[erin-x]

Haha!! Those damn seagulls only popped into my head after I had hit submit! Still....

MINE!!

[divegirl]
