try putting some seeds in like sunflower or flax or poppy. or you could put in some raisins or currants or even a few tablespoons of some jam.
just experiment and see how it comes out.

Nope... however I would just like one that rises properly *looks forlornly at another soggy loaf*crustychick said:
i used to wrap it tightly in tin foil or plastic wrap and leave it out for a few days. if it wasn't consumed by then (which it ususally wasn't cause it tasted like shit) then I put it in the fridge.Nixon said:
then it would sit in the fridge for a week or two and get moldy and then I would bin it.
or if i was in a bad mood i'd feed it to the squirrels outside

Soggy suggests too much water, which may adversely affect rising.
Also, what yeast do you use - Not all brands of yeast work well in breadmakers, esp those aimed at hand baking.
How much sugar & salt as well - You need enough sugar (or honey, molasses, syrup etc) to feed your yeast & too much salt can retard its ativity. These are prime candidates for variation.
As is ensuring your breadmaker works in a stable temprature throughout the entire process.
Getting everything to the right temp is important as well. Mixing the sugar & salt with hot water first & leaving it on timer for an hour or two before to let everything stabilise can also be helpful.

i wrap mine in a carrier bag and put it in the breadbin. But yeah, doesnt usually last more than a day - maybe two depending who's about.

I usually end up with a squishy loaf as does Flashy when he tries break making when tipsy. The water measurements do have to be pretty precise so even though we have a nice Pyrex measuring jug, we have to resort to our old faithful plastic jug with smaller increments on it to get an accurate result.

i second that - make sure you get accurate water and enough sugar/honey to feed the yeast...

I would have no problem make bread by hand every day if I actually wanted to eat bread every day. I like making it by hand, it's therapeutic and helps me relax. However I have made some sort of swiss-roll style bread every day this week - it's handy for work as I have to eat on the movevipper said:Indeed!
Anyway, my bread's got passion and emotion in it, whereas breadmaker bread is just a cold, mechanical product. so there

I regularly share passion and emotion with my breadmaker....
So there.
