Thanks Judy. Good idea.
Mab, the thing I hate most about machine bread is the hole in the bottom. My old machine often ended up with the blade stuck in the bottom. My new machine has a collapsible blade. It lays flat when baking.
The odd shape of the loaf can happen for several reasons. Usually , wrong recipe for your machine . See if you can find a basic recipe for your machine. Do you have the book? I always check the mixture after it starts kneading. Sometimes add a little more water or flour. I also weigh all ingredients.
You can’t use a basic bread recipe, like my No Fuss recipe. The balance of ingredients isn’t right for the machine. Too much yeast. But you can use any recipe if you just make dough and finish it by hand. Making rolls, bread sticks or plaited loaf.
Chookie, thank you for the bread hints, I have copied and filed them for future reference. I do have the book for the machine and used the recipe from it, I did check during the kneading process and all looked fine. All ingredients were weighed. The only thing I did differently was use bread flour instead of plain flour as in the recipe. I used bread flour with the last loaf and had no problems with that loaf,. On the plus side the family are eating the bread and say it tastes fine and is not heavy. Thanks again for the hints.

Lovely looking bread Cookie. I'm a bit embarrassed to show my effort, I have no idea what happened to it but DH says it tastes fine. It was made in the bread maker as well as sinking in the middle and blade came out and was stuck inside the bread.

I have an excess of pumpkin at the moment so I have made some into pumpkin soup. Not sure what I will do with the rest.

A phone appointment with my specialist yesterday. I have decided it is time to agree to the operation on my esophagus. Apart from soups and supplement drinks I am not eating very much and have lost some more weight so it's time to do something about it. The operation will be done in about 4 - 5 weeks time and just overnight in hospital.

Slow cooked lamb shanks with baby potatoes, beans & pumpkin. I cheated and bought a packet of shanks already cooked from the supermarket. Vegetable soup for me.
