Lakeland My Kitchen Compact Breadmaker

The Compact range from Lakeland is ideal for those that need to compromise on space but don't want to compromise on quality. Creating a beautiful 1lb loaf, this is a great option for anyone that knows that good things can come in small packages.

This model is not as popular as some of the better known brands, and is therefore harder to get hold of. The below price comparison table is regularly updated as new stock arrives.

My Kitchen Compact Breadmaker Review

As with most Lakeland products, the compact breadmaker not only bakes bread but also tries to educate you at the same time. And this time, it is teaching you how to become a better bread maker.

Though the basic recipes in the instruction book will provide you with everything you need for fabulous loaves every day, the more detailed advice will show you how to adapt your recipes and start experimenting to get the most out of your bread machine. It will show you how to make your breadmaker create lighter or denser mixes but also has some suggestions on using more varied styles of flour to create delicious and enticing new loaves. These hints are also really helpful if you find your bread is not of the quality you would wish and ensures that you can make the necessary adjustments to get it right.

But if you don't want to be bothered with the effort that it takes to measure out your ingredients (which can be nearly a minute with the handy measuring spoons included) you can always try the range of Lakeland bread mixes that have been specifically designed for their products. For something a bit different, try the Simple Sourdough Bread mix, its delicious and so easy to make.

Although this bread maker is small, that doesn't mean it isn't well equipped. In fact it features 11 preset programs which include crusty, French, sandwich and wholemeal features as well as dough options to create pizza bases and rolls.

Furthermore, unlike many other small breadmakers, the Lakeland Compact also has cake and gluten free options as well as both a fast and ultra fast setting which can cook a full loaf in 1 hour 38 minutes.

The 13 hour delay start incorporated into this model is also something that is not usually found on smaller breadmakers but it is so useful, especially if you want to wake up to perfectly baked bread every day.

And this incredibly dinky machine also features a 1 hour stay warm function, an audible alert to tell you when to add extra ingredients as well as a 10 minute power failure memory so that your machine can carry on after a power cut even if power is lost for up to 10 minutes.

And as this machine measures just 31 x 21.5 x 25cm, you can be sure that it is going to fit into almost any kitchen or cupboard, no matter how small.

Conclusion

In summary, if you want all the features of a full sized breadmaker but are either pressed for space or don't want your loaves too big, then the Lakeland Compact is a fantastic alternative. It creates good looking, fantastic tasting loaves that just get better as you become more confident and start to experiment yourself.
