My breadmaker makes a _much_ better bread than the average supermarket loaf. To really make a _good_ bread though, my experience is the same as yours. > The problem is while they knead the loaf very well, they're lousy > at baking it. My breadbaker has a "dough" setting, which does the kneading and first rising. I then take it out, pound it a bit, and put it in a bread-tin then put it in the airing cupboard for a second rising while I let the oven heat up. I still let the breadmaker do the whole process occasionally when I've forgotten to make bread and I need it the next morning. The 12 hour timer thing is fantastic :) StigThere's stuff above here
