Adventures In Bread Making!

I was lucky enough to get a Breville bread maker for Christmas! I couldn't bring it back with me on the plane since it was quite big and I already had a lot of luggage, so my mum posted it up to me a week ago. Well, I finally used it, and I love it! We bought the Healtheries Simple gluten-free bread mix from the supermarket (New World in College Hill if you're in Auckland). They also had the Orgran bread mix, but it was more expensive so we chose the cheaper option for our first trial. I'd like to try it next, especially since looking on their website I see they have a gluten-free "grain" mix, but they just had the plain mix when I was at the supermarket.

It was so so nice waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread! It hadn't risen properly and it turns out that this is because we followed the instructions on the bread mix packet, and didn't notice that you add things in a slightly different order if you are using the timer function on the bread maker. For breakfast yesterday we had the bread warm from the being baked, and this morning we had it toasted!
