I've no doubt you'll all go :aarrgh: but I've bought a couple of packs of Wright's bread mix, just to start with, so I can get to know how the machine works.  I have also got some Waitrose Strong Flour (white and wholemeal) on order, and some Allinson's yeast.  Once I have the basics mastered, I shall try out some of the recipes in this thread, and some of the different flours.  I was a little surprised to discover that it doesn't appear to be any cheaper to make your own bread than it is to buy it, but that doesn't matter, as I wasn't looking to save on costs.

You'll notice the difference in flavour and texture straight away.  If you find your bread has a tendency to go stale quickly, here's a tip - add a small knob of butter, lard or a drop of veggie oil when you make it.

It says in the instructions to do that anyway, Gill.  For once, I intend to follow the book to the letter.  ;D

You've read the instructions before using the machine?

The order arrived today. First impressions:

Basil-infused oven-roasted tomatoes - super wow! An explosion of taste. (Perhaps a bit more basil?)

Garlic-infused oven-roasted tomatoes - double super wow! A bigger explosion of taste!!

Chilli-infused oven-roasted tomatoes - stunning wow! Massive sweet tomato flavour with an after-kick of chilli. Superb. Simon should love these...

Golden pure tomato juice - very full flavour, slight more sweet than the...
Organic pure tomato juice - this has a bit more bite, I prefer the red and Sue the golden.

Hearty tomato soup - I don't like soup at all, honest. I did this one though. Brilliant.
 
The tomato sauce is already at double super wow level, as are the Original oak-roasted and the Garlic Oak-roasted.
