I carefully followed the instruction manual, which stated, for a one pound loaf, to use 180ml of water to 480g of flour. The result was appalling, and the photos I took of the mis-shapen brick are available if either Wozza or Breville are interested.Even the birds wouldn't eat it. I asked a neighbour who has had a similar machine for ages, and she told me that a minimum of 300ml of water was necessary for a 480 g loaf: I tried a second and third time with 300ml, and the results were excellent, so is there a printing error in the instruction manual (which I would consider totally inacceptable) or what? Secondly, the one pound loaves I have made have both been very good, but they rose so far that I would not be able to attempt a 1.5 or 2 lb loaf, because the bread pan could not accommodate anything larger(and, yes, I used 1 tsp of yeast as instructed in the manual). Finally, I set the crust colour to dark, which was just as well, because both successful loaves came our acceptably, but a pale coffee colour, so heaven knows what colour they would have been if I had set the machine to give a lighter colour crust. All in all, the should not have have given these problems.
