Kenwood Ken bakes a storm

I must say Kenwood Ken appears to have been worth the extra bucks!

So far I have cranked a round of great 750gm wholemeal/plain flour loaves laced with seeds, and all have worked well.

I have also used Ken's dough-kneading facility to produce several oven-baked loaves - again with sterling results. I have been using Ken's Menu 1.

So, here goes with the machine-made loaf recipes:

* 290 mls of tepid tap water

* 1 tbspn of olive oil (as usual, I add the water and oil to the pan first)

*400 gms of plain white flour

* 50gms wholemeal flour

* 1 tbspn of linseed/flax seed

* 1 tbspn of buckwheat

* 1 tbspn of milk powder

* 1 tbspn of brown sugar – not my usual raw type

* 1 tspn of improver

* 1 ½ tspns of salt

* 1 ½ tspns of dry yeast

As usual, I mixed the dry things together before adding them to the pan.

The results? Awesome!
