bread nothing "and we live the bread nothing beats a fresh loaf in the morning"	55.8%
does n't always "the only slight negative that i've found is that the dough doesn't always get extruded from the one corner of the machine which means that every loaf tends to have a very slight 'glossy' smooth section when baked but this doesn't detract from the overall flavour or general appearance of the loaf"	55.8%
totally selfish "totally selfish reasons of course and secretly for me "	55.4%
