I used the bread machine for making the dough, it saves all the effort of kneading the dough and eases the aches and pains of my rheumatism.

However, I do not like my bread with a big hole in the bottom where the paddle was located so I remove it from the machine, knock it back and either shape it by plaiting or similar or place into bread tins (Penny loaves are my favourite) and re-prove before baking.
