Breville BR6 Bakers Oven

I bought my Breville 7 years ago and took it to the Caribbean where it has been churning out loaves successfully - about 50 to 60 per year. It does need a squirt of WD 40 to the base spindle every 4 months or so to avoid jams. If the recipie is followed carefully it works well. Note that in the tropics it is not wise to bake a 1KG LOAF as it can rise above the lid!

Expereinced this with a Ready Bread Mix first.Was fine.Then i ventured with ingredients as stated in recipe book.Had no problems at all,came out perfect and was great to eat.I measured ingredients carefully,according to instructions.I think you have to be so accurate,as upsets the balance to get a perfect loaf.Love it.Was recommended,but a friend had this one unused so bought it off of her.

Have only ever used commercial bread mixes but have found that the Breville BR6 Bakers Oven machine works exactly how it is supposed to. I haven't had any problems experienced by some others, perhaps I've been lucky or perhaps I can read directions :-)

If the Breville BR6 Bakers Oven worked it would be attractive because it has a good range of options. But it doesn't work so the options are of course wasted. I found that the ingredients will not combine as the blade cannot reach into the corners. The ball of dough gathers more flour and gets bigger as the machine kneads but not enough to mix anywhere near all of the dry ingredients. An awful machine.

My special recipe for a small loaf.

Put in the machine in this order.

1 teaspoon salt.

150ml water

150 grams Strong White Bread Flour

1 teaspoon of yeast for breadmakers

Best loaf in the World!

I like the features of this Breville BR6 Bakers Oven breadmaker - fairly attractive and very good range of settings - like the timed option, so you could wake up to fresh bread and the lovely smell! However, after only about 10 times of breadmaking, it has packed up. Of course, it's already out of warranty. There seems to be something wrong with the processor chip - when I switch on, the LED indicator flashes on for a second then goes out. Very annoying.
