Well prepared as we are (mostly Lizzy), we already had a bread mix at home waiting to be baked. Let's start easy, we thought, with the Laucke crusty white bread mix, 500g.
Since this was our very first (control) bake, we made sure to follow the instructions by the letter. Yeast down the bottom, bread mix on top and then 350ml of unfiltered, chlorinated, Aussie tap water (nom!).
We put the bread maker on "medium size" and "medium crust" and fired up program 1: basic.
Timer on 5 hours so we could wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread.
And here she is, our first bread. Following the old tradition (thanks Gerald), I named her Amelie
She turned out a little bit uneven with rather large air bubbles in the top and a bit too dense down the bottom - room for improvement.
We also found out that she's been sitting in the bread maker for several hours before we took her out due to some misunderstanding in the manual about how the timer setting works; apparently, it's not the delay start time but the finish time...
