I don't use mixes. A bit wary of the chemicals which might be extra-addeds that I don't know about. I use the recipes in the booklet which came with the machine. I did do a bit of a search on the 'Net. The only hint I got was from a baker who said to mix the yeast with warm water and let it froth up first. I think he said or implied that the only reason the yeast is put in last is for when the timer delay is used andyou don't want the yeast getting started before the right time for mixing it up.

If any of you kind people have a recipe for soft white bread, you know the kind, often used for buns, and usually for sweet bread - I'd really love to try it out.

Mouldy, what do you mean "mainly do granary in it"?
