I made it again after a short while but this time I shaped it as I do with New York Rye Bread. I personally like this shape much better. Up to your preference.

Just had a look at your bread loaves they look very nice, I'm still using my good old bread maker it is in the laundry and I don't have to put the oven on and heat up the kitchen, I've got a sour dough Rye loaf cooking now, I've added sunflower, Pepita's , chia seeds and some rolled oats to it, cook it on the French loaf setting and usually turns out great.  When it is winter I will give the TMX  a try.

Sounds delicious Brenda!! I felt like having one slice

I've never used bread maker.
I was given one as present once. According to its manual I needed to use milk powder instead of milk.
I couldn't find any milk powder but to be honest I hadn't search properly as well.
Because I got my Thermomix quite soon after the bread maker
And my bread adventures started
Until then I had never even tried to make any bread
I am very satisfied with Thermomix's performance of kneading
I like also making different shapes, round, rolled, plain, stuffed, ring....
It gives me flexibility
I hope you enjoy too when you try in the winter
