I don't have a bread maker but this recipe is tried and tested.

You should use the regular bread setting and make it as normal except reserve the butter until
the dough has been through the proving stage, then add it.

200g strong white flour
25ml milk
1.5 level tsp easy-blend yeast
2 eggs, plus 2 yolks
25g caster sugar
0.5 level tsp salt
125g unsalted butter, softened

THIS SHOULD MAKE 1 X 2 LB LOAF.

I normally make double this recipe and make 2 loafs at a time. If it goes stale then
make bread and butter pudding with it.

What kind of bread machine do you have Greg?

I've got a Panasonic one and the recipe for Brioche for that works pretty well straight out of the manual.

LG. The book insists on only preparing the dough and then baking it in the oven. Ain't gonna happen. Tried it in the machine. Disaster.

I have adapted my mum's recipe for Norwegian 'Julekake,' which is essentially a spiced fruit loaf, for bread machine. This has been tested in Murphy Richards and Panasonic machines:

1tsp dried yeast
500g flour
100g sugar
75g rasins
35g mixed peel
0.25-0.5tsp cardamom[sup]1[/sup]
1tsp salt
250ml milk
100g butter
1 egg

Put the yeast in the bottom of the bread machine pan and add the flour on top. Add the remaining dry ingredients[sup]2[/sup]. Beat the egg and melt the butter[sup]3[/sup] and mix these in with the milk. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients. Set the machine to bake on the wholemeal setting with dark crust[sup]4[/sup].





Notes:

[sup]1[/sup]On my first loaf I used 0.5tsp of cardamom and found the flavour a little over powering. I recalculated all the weights here from the traditional recipe - with hand mixing it is easy to adjust values for a good mix/flavour, using the bread machine you need to get everything correct from the very start!
[sup]2[/sup]The fruit could be added at the 'add additional ingredients' stage of the bake cycle, but it worked fine for me adding the fruit at the start. I am also a little wary that the fruit might not mix into the dough if it has formed well. Also, you have to be present and alert to add the fruit at this stage!
[sup]3[/sup]My bread machine starts mixing immediately if extra time is not added to the bake cycle. Better bread machines have a rest period before mixing - it might be possible that the butter will start to re-solidify before mixing. It might be worth mixing all the ingredients by hand first.
[sup]4[/sup]I bake everything on my machine with the wholemeal setting and dark crust as it gives a longer bake time and so actually cooks properly. I even got a proper dark crust on this loaf!

Same here, and it worked well. *nom nom*

(I was going to offer to copy out the recipe but I see UncleMort beat me to it)

IDK, but my mum knackered her bread maker today - I popped round for lunch and when she opened the door I was met by the sweet aroma of hot metal and burnt plastic. She looked absolutely livid and her first words were "I've buggered it up! God damn it!" (at that point I had no idea what "it" was).

It turns out that she'd put the bread mix in the inner part of the bread maker, then been distracted, then forgotten to put the inner part of the bread maker back into the machine, then switched the machine on, and it burned itself out.

She'd then thrown a handful of the raw bread mix at the ceiling in a fit of anger and frustration.

Laugh? I nearly shat ...

I have offered to buy her another one for Christmas though, this time a little better quality and with an automatic cut-out!
