baking prog 1"obviously washing all user parts with a soft sponge and soapy water is the only prep i had done and my first loaf is a corker i went straight for the 1kg loaf not to do by half measures lol and the only thing i have to say anything about is that even on dark crust setting the loaf has a light to medium colouring and not as dark as i would like it but im sure i will find a way to get it a little darker still but this was done on prog 2 rapid loaf so it mat be darker if i used the full baking prog 1 ?"
