Get a Panasonic breadmaker,they are excellent,well worth the extra.I even make lovely bread using spelt flour in mine (many say it is very difficult to make bread using just spelt but it’s easy in my Panasonic)I had other breadmakers before but they gave poor results.I make bread the oldfashioned way too,and have done for forty years,but breadmakers are very useful if you don’t have time for kneading etc.

Hi Fiona, As promised in my earlier post I have made the bread using 800gm flour,594gm water,12gm salt and a sachet of dried yeast. I included about 4oz of strong canadian bread flour with the organic plain flour. I have just taken the first loaf out of the oven and we, together with my visiting niece have just had it with some red wine and I have sent her home(she lives next door!) with a loaf fresh out of the oven. Fantastic results. Thank you once again.

Have you tried freecycle.org for a bread maker. I know loads of people who have bought one and never use it. Maybe somebody in your area is happy to give it away, all it’d cost you is the petrol to go pick it up.
