breadmaker arrived today! so: after work, the first deed is to unwrap the beast, clear space in my micro-kitchen, and {jargon “RTFM”} for it — for once…don’t want to set the kitchen on fire…am a bit scared by the “caution: gets bloody hot and can incinerate all your possessions” sticker on top of it (okay, i just made that one up, but the sticker said something similar, really). all sounds easy enough and i boldy venture into the unknown…
the first bread (issue 1) is the whole meal recipe from the manual — and it’s really simple: just dump the yeast in to the form, followed by the whole meal, sugar, salt, and water. close the box, program it — and walk away. 5 hours later you’ve got a fantastic bred! and it smells like heaven. only “flaw”: the top is not very crunchy…a couple of minutes in the oven ought to fix that.
excellent tool!
