Trying out a bread machine

So, having got to enjoy nice hand made bread, my wife bought me a bread maker machine for Christmas. Tesco BMS1 Breadmaker. I have made at least one loaf, each day, for 6 weeks. I have used the recipes in the handbook, non of which gave me even a passable result. I have tried surfing the web, and used a selection of other recipes, most success with those award winning ones on Carrs web site. My new  machine looks good, is easy to use and clean, and at just under £25 is priced well. But, speaking for myself, I am not able to make bread with this machine. Tesco have been really helpful to me, and are now collecting my machine for a refund of cost. I have to say, I am so disappointed with the whole experience. Bake to kneeding for me. Have a great Christmas and a good '09 all you bakers. Regards

Bread Machine disaster

I need some major help here...

I tried a recipe in the bread machine Welbilt convection for wheat bread with Quinoa.

The balance was totally off after I put all of my ingredients in that the oven shut off and didn't finish baking.

I ended up taking the luke warm gooey half baked bread out and popped the whole basket in the regular oven.

Could this turn even worse?

Please let me know if you have any experience with this.....here's what I put in the recipe:

Wheat flour

White Flour

Flax meal

honey

wheatgrass powder

olive oil
