I love nothing more than fresh bread! In fact my Mum's nickname for me is the bread-bin cos I can easily eat any loaf of bread in a day and not much else provided it's toasted at least lol. I have been staying with my mate lately and moaning that years ago I had a bread maker and that I missed it and the other day whilst we did a car-boot she went off for a look round and came back with a fantastic bread maker for me and paid only £5.00 for it, excited we had to go to Asda to grab a bit of shopping and I couldn't remember what ingredients I needed to make a loaf so got this cos on the front of the packet I could see that it was suitable for bread makers and ...  Read the complete review

'Hovis Granary Bread Mix' I have to say that from a very young age I have always been a lover of bread, especially granary. Although I always here from health and fitness enthusiasts that bread is one of the worst things you can eat with regards to things like weight loss/keeping your carbohydrates down, to be honest, I couldn't care less! I love, I love it, I love it! Usually I would buy regular pre-sliced bread from my local supermarket for eating during the week, and then take a trip to my local bakers on a Saturday morning in order to buy a freshly baked loaf of Granary for the weekend. God, the thought of a fresh, warm loaf of granary even makes me ...  Read the complete review

One of the things that I am really trying to do at the moment is cut down on my spending, including food expenditure. When we first moved in together about 18 months ago, my other half and I made the usual domestic promises - always washing up right after we'd eaten, doing the washing when the machine was full rather than we had a little clothing everest piling up in the kitchen, and to set a budget £25 a week on food. This, of course, was never stuck to, with treats, rising food costs and going shopping hungry pushing each week's total up just that little bit further. Well, no more! Sticking to a food budget that was set when basics (pasta, bread, milk) were so much ...  Read the complete review

We have a bread maker and although I know it would be just as easy to add floor, water and yeast, we find that our yeast goes off so quickly that we are always buying new. We buy packets of bread mix because they last well and are so simple. You just ass the contents and 300ml of water to the bread maker and press go. It is that easy. The Hovis Granary bread mix makes a nice big loaf, which is one of the reasons we like it. It also contains lots of seeds, which are tasty and good for you. Sometimes if I am feeling the need to be healthier I will add some additional linseeds to the mix. This still bakes delicious bread and the mix can take the extra seeds ...  Read the complete review

I am a great fan Hovis Granary Bread Mix. I love to bake my own bread and invested in a breadmaker to do just that. With a family, I find that making proper bread goes down really well - I, myself, am very partial to the crust, warm with butter. I also love experimenting with different flavours and love this mix with added seeds - particularly pumpkin and poppy seeds. If you add raisins to the mix you can slice and toast the bread when it comes out and have fruited toast - absolutley fabulous with proper butter - not for the dieting amongst you though. The Granary mix has a unique flavour due to the fact that the malted wheat flakes ...  Read the complete review
