5 Bread Maker Recipes
Not got access to a cooker? No problem! We're sharing five bread maker recipes that prove they're for SO much more than just bread!
There are occasionally situations where we might find ourselves without a cooker or any “real” means to cook. And no, I’m not talking about camping here, I’m talking about moving house, kitchen renovations, a broken cooker, that kind of thing. This is where it can come in really handy to think outside the proverbial box. Get that bread maker out and start using it for, well, more than bread. Here are five recipes that can be made in a bread maker and can help you cope without a cooker – at least for a while.

- 750g carrots, trimmed and chopped

- Select program 13 ‘Bake only’ and set the timer to 40 minutes
- Serve immediately
- Scrambled Eggs
- This is the only recipe where you won’t be able to rely on the automatic timer. This is down to the fact that the timer on ‘Jam’ setting won’t go below 1 hour 30 minutes – which would result in some inedible eggs. Nevertheless, that’s not a reason not to make scrambled eggs in the bread maker. Just set your own timer and turn the machine off once the eggs are done. Prep: 5 minutes, Cook: 18 minutes
- 6 large freerange eggs
- 100ml milk
- 2tsp butter
- Salt & pepper
- A little oil for greasing
- Grease the bread maker pan lightly
- Whisk all the ingredients together
- Pour into the bread maker
- Set to program 18 ‘Jam’ and SET YOUR OWN TIMER to 18 minutes
- Once the eggs are done, give them a quick final stir with a wooden spoon
- Serve immediately
