|description=This is a breadmaker recipe I have developed over 10 years of using breadmakers - it's light and airy and tastes fantastic.
}}

We have been using [[Breadmakers|breadmakers]] for about ten years now, I think we're on our third now. We now [[Bake|bake]] [[Bread|bread]] every two days and we have come up with a recipe that never fails to make a light airy loaf.

We add a little bit of [[Wholemeal flour|wholemeal flour]], just for a little interest, but not enough to make a heavy loaf.

We've made this in a variety of [[Panasonic Breadmakers]] which all have a 'French bake' setting. This is an extended rise and gives a very light airy loaf. You cannot make an extra large loaf with this setting as it rises too much. it would probably work on a normal setting if your breadmaker does not have 'French bake'.

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Although the instructions say to put the [[Yeast|yeast]] in the separate compartment, we always tip everything together in the [[Breadmaker|breadmaker]] bin. It's up to you.
| If you are not using a fast [[Easy Bake Yeast]] , then '''activate it first''' - [[How to activate Allinsons Dried Active Yeast|'''instructions are here''']].
| Set the breadmaker to 'French Bake' setting (#8 on the [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502]])
| Your loaf should be ready after 6 hours. Put a timer on so you don;t forget it as it will collapse if you leave it in the [[Breadmaker|breadmaker]] for an extended period after if has completed the [[Baking|baking]] cycle.

===Chef's notes===
If you do buy [[Allinsons Dried Active Yeast]] and want to use it in a [[breadmaker]] you need to '''activate it first''' - [[How to activate Allinsons Dried Active Yeast|'''instructions are here''']].

We ''always'' use [[olive oil]] in our [[breadmaking]] as we don't keep standard [[vegetable oil]] anymore.
