[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 983259"] I did my first loaf of bread today I used a basic program which lasted nearly 3 hours, and I used All Purpose Flour because I didn't find bread flour yesterday. Anyway, it was a nice experience for me and the result weren't as bad as I expected and it did rise very nearly to the top. I bought a new packet of dry yeast yesterday so maybe this helped. The final loaf looked a bit soggy at the top but was too crispy at the bottom, presumably because it is nearer the heating element there. My bread knife isn't sharp enough apparently and the cutting was a bit of a nightmare. Anyway, I did risk eating a slice of bread with jam on top and it wasn't too bad. The work was a bit too much. It is not just a matter of putting the ingredients and walking away, certainly not for the first time. I supervised the whole process which was a very long time and then I had to wait for the machine to cool down and clean all the bits and pieces. I think I will not use the AP flour again and will try using the machine next time when I have bread flour. Here are some photos at different stages.
