Last parcel arrived and back to making bread

After being kept in for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and till 3.30pm today i am now free. The last parcel i was waiting for has arrived late but it has arrived. It was a new breadmaker, when i got back from visiting Liverpool i found that i couldn't find the paddle in my breadmaker that i had had for a number of years. A new paddle delivered to me from the UK was £17.97 for another £30 i could have a new breadmaker.

With my old machine the recipe for the loaf i make was as follows.

300ml water
1 tsp Salt.
1 tsp Sugar
400 gram flour
1 tsp yeast

Ever loaf came out great and i was very happy with the machine.

The new machine for the same recipe was

300ml Milk
1½ tbsp Olive oil
1½ Salt
2 tbsp Sugar
450 gram Flour
2 tsp Yeast.

The ingredients and there percentages are different and with a little work i will be making bread as good as i was before. The first loaf i cooked was very good but not as good as those i had made before. But for now a little tweaking and i will soon have the bread i have been making in the past.
