If anyone knows where I can buy a twin blade (Sometimes called paddles) Breadmaker - Please let me know.
I have looked on Amazon, Ebay, and trawled the net generally.
Hi Ken,
I must be honest we replaced the single paddle type with the larger twin paddle breadmaker and I have to say, it was not a patch on the smaller one.The smaller one produced better bread all round.Only my personal opinion but thought I would point it out.
In fact, I am ashamed to say I took it to the council tip some months ago as I could not even give it away.
Happy baking.
Perhaps link below will be useful.
Regards
Greg
Personally I found my breadmaker a waste of space and hated the hole in the bottom of the loaf left by the paddle. Now I use the dough hook on my Kenwood to mix and knead my bread. Put it into an ordinary loaf tin and bake in the oven. Perfect bread everytime without the annoying hole

Thanks folks - As it happens - I watched a programme on TV last night about food - they explained about bread. It's all in the kneading.
Which the single paddle does not do very well. It just swirls a lump of dough round and round.
I'm going to start taking it out of the bread maker in its early stage. Knead it my self - then put it back on a simple rise and bake programme.

I bought an expensive Panasonic (one paddle) recently and it's actually quite good. The paddle hasn't stuck in the bread yet.
It wasn't sticking I was worried about. I thought a twin blade would knead the bread better giving "rise" to a better loaf.
When I make bread I use easybake yeast, half a teaspoon, and that does away with adding sugar. Don't use salt either. Also sometimes I substitute two handfulls of cheap Branflakes for a cupfull of flour. Normally just use the breadmaker for mixing and first rise as I don't like the hole left in the bottom of the bread.
