The fresh bread that comes right out of the oven with melting butter has a great smell and taste sensation. With Morphy Richards Bread Machines, you can experience this sensation every morning. You have to put on only a very little effort as the bread maker is a sophisticated appliance with a computer memory that does all the work for you. All that you will need to do is, put in the ingredients, select the program, press start and take the cooked loaf out.
Stylish stainless steel design:
As you can see below, Morphy Richards 48267 600 wattsAutomatic breadmaker is having a very stylish look with its compact brushed stainless steel finish. The viewing window is present on the top left of the bread maker and right next to it is the main control panel. There are two air vents in the main body. The large viewing window helps you to keep an eye on your bread, and is a fun feature as far as your kids are concerned. This stainless steel bread maker has a non-slip feet to enable it to be stable while baking on a work surface.
Control panel:
Coming to the main control panel, the large and clear display, displays to you the browning level, weight, the program number, the time left before completion and temperature warning. The buttons include the timer delay buttons one for increasing the time and the other for decreasing. A colour button for selecting the crust colour, the menu button for you to choose from the 12 options, the loaf size button and the start/stop toggle.
Unique kneading blade:
Morphy Richards 48267 Stainless Steel bread machine has an unique collapsible kneading blade that gives you a perfectly shaped bread. This actually woks by dropping itself down during the bread making cycle. There are two blade positions, the upright position and the down position.
The twelve settings:
The Morphy Richards 48267 Fastbake bread maker gives you a choice of twelve settings that not only bakes the bread for you, you can also knead dough for bread rolls, which can then be baked using your oven. Pizzas, Cakes and jams can also be cooked which taste incredibly home made which they are. The 12 setting choices that are available are, Basic white, French, Wholewheat, cake, sweet, Fastbake 1, Fastbake 11, Dough, Jam, Speciality, Sandwich and Extra bake.
Fastbake 1 and 11:
The Fastbake settings allow you to prepare white loaf in a reduced time period. The Fastbake 1 is for 1.5lb loaves and Fastbake 11 is for 2lb loaves. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture, more moist. This rapid program does a great job by producing bread as good as the ones produced on the standard three hour program in just an hour and fifteen minutes.
Speciality and Extra bake:
The speciality setting is used for bread types that are required in a shorter time. The bread baked in this setting is smaller with a dense texture. The extra bake setting is a bake only which can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings this feature is very helpful to set jams and marmalades.
Fruit and nut beep:
The fruit and nut beep indicators of the 48267 will let you know when you need to add the raisins for certain recipes. These indicators are very useful as they indicate the kneading blade not to chop them too.

With the Morphy Richards 48267 Stainless Steel Fastbake breadmaker you can choose between two sizes of loaves which are small 1.5lb (680g) and the large 2lb (907g). The 1.5lb settings can be used to make 1lb loaf for some of the recipes, which increases your size options to three.

The timer:
This compact 48267 Fastbake bread maker has a thirteen hour timer which allows you to set the machine, have a good night and have freshly baked bread for breakfast.

Sogginess that the bread loaves tend to get is prevented with the help of the keep warm function which is kept activated for an hour after the baking program is over. The keep warm function will circulate hot air for 60 mins and 10 beeps will be heard when the keep warm period is finished.
