Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The smell of freshly baked bread is always a treat, the warm flavours providing a welcoming aroma any time of day. Yet producing home-made bread can often be considered too time-consuming and difficult to attempt regularly. Home-baked bread can be cheaper and better tasting than store-bought loaves, while there are health benefits involved in controlling the amount of salt, fat and additives included in your bread. And taking the hard work out of baking bread is the Breville Antony Worrall Thompson VBM006 Breadmaker.
This breadmaker boasts a host of features designed to produce a range of delicious breads. It has 10 programmes to help you bake the bread of your choice, including French, whole wheat, sweet and speciality and three crust settings--light, medium and dark--to give you the desired finish. Bake only as much as you want with a trio of different loaf sizes--1 pound (lb), 1.5 lbs and 2 lbs--and get bread in no time thanks to the Turbo/ Fast Bake function. The unit is also designed with a fruit and nut dispenser which allows you to add further ingredients into your mix and those with a sweet tooth can also make delicious fresh jam and cakes. The bread maintains its heat for up to an hour with the 60 minute Keep Warm feature and you can fit it into your schedule with the 13 hour time delay. Keep an eye on the bread's progress with the viewing window and all the steps are easy to follow thanks to the digital display. The breadmaker includes a bread pan and kneading blade--both of which are non-stick and dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. And the breadmaker comes with a booklet of Antony's favourite recipes to help bring delicious fresh breads into your home without any fuss.

Customer Reviews
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.

We bought this breadmaker just before Christmas after reading some good reviews about it in a national paper. We had not previously made any bread so were quite inexperienced in this respect and just followed the instructions per the enclosed manual. The results were disasterous! There was just not enough water and what came out looked like crumble which went straight in the bin. We decided there must be a mistake in the manual and used the recipe on the pack of flour and this time the bread turned out well. As per the previous reviewer, the recipes that come with the manual are rubbish and the quantity of water to be used with the quantity of flour is completely wrong. Also, a 1 lb loaf pretty much comes near the top of the bread tin so not sure how you could make 1.5 or 2 lb loaves! Since then we have got a book which has recipes for breads using a bread machine and the breadmaker has not failed to disappoint. However, it is simply unacceptable that there should be such printing errors in the manual. So if you get this breadmaker, make sure you order a recipe book at the same time!
