Bread mixes for breadmakers....anyone got any recommendations?
I just wondered if anyone had tried any of the instant bread mixes that are in the shops. (I know I should make my bread from scratch, but I'm new to this breadmaker lark and I wanted to start with something nice and easy!)
I've heard good things about the Lakeland range...anyone tried it? Or Allinson?Any recommendations very gratefully received, thanks. |

Yes I use Wrights too & it works fine. I am now on my forth bread maker, I have had a bread maker about 10 yrs now & used them so often then wore out, wouldn't be without mine.

Thanks for the replies everyone....three votes for Wrights, definitely sounds like one to try! I'd never heard of that one...is it sold in all the regular supermarkets?

well, I've bought mine from Asda previously, but its not listed anymore on their website
![]() anyway - Wrights don't do just plain bread, they've got all sorts of varieties - their site is here - if you want a nosey - they've got a section on breadmakers too

The wrights mixes are excellent - never had any probs and they are reasonably priced (I get mine from asda) - I've also never had any problems with the supermarket own brand ones (though wrights have a better range of flavours), in fact the only one I would be wary getting again would be the Hovis wholemeal - I've had two that sunk (both bought from the same shop right enough, so maybe a bad batch?), their white bread one was fine though and had a lovely taste.

I've used both the Wrights mix and the Hovis mix. Have to say, for taste, I prefer the Hovis one. Might take a while longer to cook, but it's so soft when cooked. Well worth the waiting I feel.

I know you said you are new to it, but you should try adding the seprate items in (flour, salt, sugar, water, yeast and oil (or butter)) - once you have done a couple you will do it without refering to the notes.
It's a lot cheaper than using the bread mix. It only takes less than 5 mins for me now (and thats with giving the flour a sive as I find the bread comes out lighter). |

Aldi and Lidl do some really nice mixes - and cheap too.
Their range includes sunflower seed, rye, five seed bread, etc. |
