I have had a BM200 for years – It made superb bread – to my recipes – not Kenwoods!
Finally it died and I got the BM250 – Ugh the bread is short which means that the dough was baked ‘green’ (bakers term).
Kenwood recipes use a lot less water than a standard (non breadmaker recipe) and breadmakers use a water dough in general.
( Below are ratios Flour to Water – multiply the weight of flour used by the decimal figure to get water used)
BM 250 white bread uses 1:0.49 Flour to water
A typical handmade bread recipe in in the rangwe of 1:0.56 to 1:0.65
Breadmakers need a ‘wetter’ dough – Typically 1:0.7 to 1:0.75
How could Kenwood screw this up?
Tip: Adding wholemeal or Rye flour increase the water slightly – the higher the amount of wholemeal the more water.
Tip 2: Get a copy of ‘The complete book of Bread and Bread Machines’ – Dump Kenwoods recipes and make good bread with this great machine.

Just purchased the 250 at Christmas and so far on loaf number 5. Unlike other reviewers have had excellent results, even compared to loaves made by friends on other machines. Have tried 3 bread recipes from the Kenwood book, sunflower and honey one from ‘Fresh Bread in the Morning’ and tonight made our first cake…banana, date and walnut. Really pleased so far. Only problem is cake it too big for my cake tin so of course some slices had to be eaten first! Keen to adapt other bread and cake recipes so do let me know of any success stories….can’t wait till next summer to try out the jam function – will be good to be able to make small amounts rather than a big pan full.
