Hi courton. Thermomixer is right. A lot of things affect breadmaking so it is best to go with the flow and go by the feel. I make the buttermilk bread a lot as I make butter al lot. (Wonder why I am growing). I find the EDC recipe needs a bit more flour in the mixture too.

I use recipes as a guide and tweak them myself as do many of us here. I know some need to have exact measurements but when you have a failure just go with your instincts. If it works it works if it doesn't then  doesn't matter  as someone will eat it as. There is always the dog or chooks to feed or breadcrumbs to make.  :-))

I made this tonight and it was very nice.  I am still very new to both the thermomix and bread making  so not sure if I did it right as the loaf had a soft crust and was pretty flat - but still lovely.

That sounded just like my first attempt at bread from the EDC Shazzy.  I then moved onto some of isi's recipes which is where I finally learnt how to make a loaf of bread or rolls (my favourite) and now I am confident to tackle any recipe.
This is isi's Very Normal Bread thread.
Here is Chookies No Fuss recipe which is one of my favourites for rolls these days, or it can be made into a loaf.
I also like this one for isi's Portuguese rolls.
You will find heaps of lovely recipes in the bread section, check out the photos.

Thanks Judy - I did try Isi's portugese rolls as my first bread attempt.  They were nice but think I still need more practice!  Will deffinately try the other ones though and give the portugese rolls another attempt.
