I have had my bread machine for several years. It is lovely having fresh bread but ultimately because it has no preservatives it doesn’t keep soft for long. I finally figured out the the setting and recipe that keeps for 2 days for the kids packed lunch. Whatever is left over I will freeze for toast or eggy bread another day.
I follow this bread recipe for a 500g loaf which lasts a couple of days https://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/cooking-with-kenwood/recipes/bread-maker-recipes/bread-maker-bm450-recipes/rapid-button-white-bread but the trick is too bake it on the low crust setting. This bread is also known as the Shokupan. I am convinced if I tweak the recipe slightly and add TZ it will last even longer but I have yet to try it.
