Great thinking.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Got the idea off here of course (that's why I love this forum) - I think someone suggested it in one of the the bread threads.   ;D ;D

I find the TMX is heaps quicker for bread making than the breadmaker - haven't used a breadmaker for about 5 yrs now!!  I used to break the paddle too, with my heavy doughs!   :-))

It only takes about an hour to make bread rolls, from grinding the grain to getting them out of the oven, and loaves only about 5 or ten minutes more.

I don't let the dough rise in the TMX bowl as it makes it harder to get off the blades, and it's slower.  Here's how I do it so quickly:

Wrap the kneaded dough in the bread mat, place it on the top rack of the cold oven, and place a dish of boiling water on the rack underneath.  Set the timer for 15 mins, when it rings take dough out and punch down and make into rolls or loaves, brush with water, and place back in cold oven. Refill the oven dish with boiling water, place back in the oven on bottom rack, and turn oven on to 180 degrees for fan-forced, 200 degrees if not.  The bread will rise in the steamy oven and cook as the oven heats up.

If I'm making a loaf or two, I put the loaves in the cold oven with the boiling water, set the timer for 10 mins and let it rise a bit, then turn the oven on.  That just makes them a bit lighter than truning it on straight away.

The basket idea came from the UK or italian Bimby forum - it is in the list of tips somewhere.  I prefer to have plastic wrap (sorry for those who just freaked out) over/under the basket so dust doesn't go between slits.

Bread maker VS TMX. TMX hands down. I tossed my breadmaker ;)
