OH has been saying for years what good bread he makes, but then hasn't made any, so I got fed up one day and bought a machine! (We both work full time, so making it by hand would eat up a lot of precious spare time - we cook most meals from scratch already.)
I chose the Panasonic with the seed thingy - haven't used that feature yet, but this is the only model that comes with a rye setting (I like to make a 50% wholemeal spelt bread with mixed seeds).
However I find the white bread it makes rather too light and dry - after reading cutecumber's post, I'm thinking I should experiment with using a bit more water, at least with my current brand of flour (an organic strong white flour from our local wholefood cooperative). As it is, using a fresh pack of Dove's Farm quick yeast, I can only make a 400g loaf as it rises so much!
