Emma,

you are very naughty.

If you have time to post on FT you have time to make a little bread. The machine can do most of it for you. Just make a starter the day before and finish by hand. Buy one of those baguette tins and you're there.

A nice soft flatbread could be made in your machine .... a little milk or yoghurt to a plain bread mix .. flatten it out and cooked on a steak griddle. How tough is that?

I'll have you making bagels in no time .....
