They are sometimes a bit of a pain those machines. There is a lovely smell of fresh bread in a morning when I get up but then I have to wait till the wife comes downstairs, gets the loaf out of the machine, cuts it, puts the jam on and serves it up with a cup of tea. She then has to clean the thing out and make it ready the next evening with the flour and other stuff.
Ah, I see - at least I think I see. So the mixing is done in the actual baking tin? With some sort of paddle -like blade?
So what happens to the blade when the loaf comes out? Do you have to chew around it?
Yep, sometimes. Theoretically the paddle stays in the tin but not always. It can be a bit of a faff to dig it out of the baked loaf so chewing around it is probably a good idea.
Like a few others here I only use the bread maker for mixing dough and then bake the loaf in the oven.
I recently bought a perforated loaf tin which enables you to bake baguette shaped bread. The perforations cause a little pattern on the underside of the loaf and one of my kids said recently "it looks just like you get in the Co-op".

Re: Bread's done but, how do I get it out?
That's really nifty, Clair.
Got the bread out at last; with the OH hanging on to the tin whilst I got my fingers around the bread as far as they would go and pulling for all I was worth.
Now the loaf is out of the tin, I might be brave enough to try your brioche recipe later this week. Don't fancy getting such a delicate thing out of the tin though so might give it some thought first!
