"Should be a 6 star recipe. Best template for bread making I have ever found. I use 350g white: 150g granary too, and 1/2 milk, 1/2 water (warm); haven't found the need for sugar, but may try it. Adding some chopped walnuts and sultanas makes a great bread to go with cheese. Painting the crust with melted butter when it comes out of the oven gives a lovely, softer crust.10 times better made by hand (Kenwood chef) than in breadmaker; mine has taken to tripping the fuses - but who needs the monster on the worktop anyway?!"

"Have made this lots of times; quick, easy and delicious. I don't use all the oil from the jar. Lemon zest is a good addition, as Alba suggested, and in winter I used dried mint. Have also used yoghourt instead of creme fraiche."
