I’m one of those lucky people that own a bread making machine! My sister bought it from Paris a few years ago, my Mum used it a few times then it just sat in the kitchen sad and alone… Until I rediscovered it again! It is actually an amazing machine that is extremely easy to use, all you have do is add the ingredients, wait for 2-3 hours, and BAM you have a homemade, delicious, healthy, fresh loaf of bread made with high-quality ingredients.

How much flour is supposed to be used? It just says “470 all purpose flour”. Are they grams? I need to convert to US measurements and I want to make sure I have it correctly. I think it would mean 2 cups flour?
