What weight are these bags of flour from Lidls? is it just white or do they have wholemeal and/or granary too?

A 25 kilo sack of Doves farm Organic unbleached strong white is about £23 this year ...About £18 last year!!!

We have had a Panasonic for about five or six years, (A hopeless Kenwood for a while before that) It is used every day and the tin is so knackered the paddle actually rarely sticks in the loaf!! still have to stand there like a cocktail barman trying to shake the thing out but hey...usually better if you leave it for 20 mins to cool first.

Have tried quite a few fancy recipes over the years.

Sometimes I use a percentage milk instead of water which I find softens it a bit and makes it save better.... and granary for interest, but most of the time Mrs P just churns out a standard 90% white loaf. Feeds the family and this means we don't have to go into town very often at all. Frankly it is just a chore but certainly saves money for us and keeps us out of the supermarkets. If we want a treat I'll just go to the bakers and buy a special loaf...that's what they are good at eh.
