Morphy Richards 48300

...suppose that is why the Morphy Richards 48300 takes a long time to cook). It's better for your health to minimise yeast and the loaf tastes much better. It takes a long time (a large basic white load takes 3 hours 25 mins) because to produce a good loaf would require a lot of kneading and rising. There is a fastbake option (80 minutes) which reduces the amount of rising and kneading but the loaf is smaller and not as soft. There is a timer option, ...

***HOW THE BREAD TASTES***
The bread was very delicious and soft and is in the shape of a traditional loaf, which looks very appetising (I have not seen any other breadmaker that makes a traditional shaped one). You will never want to eat ready-made again! I could tell the difference - shop bought bread always tastes of additives.

***FEATURES***
This is the second breadmaker I have owned. It comes with a recipe booklet, so all you need to do is add the ingredients in the order shown in the booklet into the bread pan, taking only 5 minutes. Then you just switch on the machine, making your selections. It also comes with a measuring cup and spoons so that you can measure the ingredients accurately which is important in order to make a good loaf. There is also a section in the booklet for troubleshooting if your loaf does not come out as it should. There are lots of recipes for white, wholemeal in different variations - for example, there is one for chocolate bread. There is even a recipe for gluten free bread which I have not tried yet but will amend this review once I do. I also like to make spelt bread (you can buy spelt flour from tesco, sainsburys etc.) - I have not tried it yet in this new machine but again I will post details once I have tried it.

Compared to the first breadmaker I owned, it uses much less yeast - 1 tsp for a large loaf - the old machine used 2 1/4 tsp (I suppose that is why the Morphy Richards 48300 takes a long time to cook). It's better for your health to minimise yeast and the loaf tastes much better. It takes a long time (a large basic white load takes 3 hours 25 mins) because to produce a good loaf would require a lot of kneading and rising. There is a fastbake option (80 minutes) which reduces the amount of rising and kneading but the loaf is smaller and not as soft. There is a timer option, so for example you can set it and your loaf will then be ready for you in the morning.

***WHAT ELSE YOU CAN MAKE***
There is a dough option which is very handy if you want to make your own pizza or bread rolls. There are also jam and cake options which I have not tried. The only idea I did not like about the cake option, is that it requires you to mix ingredients in two bowls before adding to the breadmaker.

***MAINTENANCE***
The breadmaker is very easy to clean. Once you remove the bread, leave the bread pan to cool then wipe it with a damp cloth. You can also wipe the breadmaker. You can make either a small (1.5lb) or large (2lb) loaf. The breadmaker is fan-assisted and the loaf came out really evenly browned.
