White, soft, lovely bread, no its not a dream, thanks to all your advice folks, I have it at last :-). I used a recipe in the booklet that came with the breadmaker, but substituted sami-skimmed milk for water, using slightly less milk than water as advised. The result was much better than I of little faith, believed. It is delicious, and dare I say it, as good as any I've had back home. I used the bread mix packs in Migros, with the packet yeast provided, but with the Tesco recipe, on Sandwich setting. Also tried one with fresh yeast, both results very nice indeed. Looking forward from now on to buttery toast and marmalade....whenever I fancy it
