Our Panasonic bread maker has a fault: it mixes but won't bake properly. Therefore, I have been making bread by mixing the dough in the machine and baking in the oven. This produces lovely bread, far superior to the completely automatic method even though I am using exactly the same ingredients. I therefore wish to continue with this method but the trouble is, it takes ages - 2h20 for the mix'n'knead, 30-40mins to prove, 30mins to bake. How can I speed things up?
Yours impatiently.
