[@hollyadore]

I adore your channel, it gives me a sense of peace and it helps me escape the treacherous times of the world. I’m so joyful when watching you in your closet and now I’m craving a buttery bread with some fine wine 😊🍷 Lydia rocks! 🫵

[@doreencaron3118]

who else has a bread maker they haven't used in...well, in quite some time...and are ready to start using it again!!! Me!! Thank you Lydia!

[@lydiamillen]

You are so welcome! 🤎

[@paulamanningtsougranis8324]

Haha…I’ll have to dig mine out of appliance purgatory 😂

[@TerryCrisler]

I was just thinking that…digging through closet tonight to find it!

[@hiimniasha]

😂😂

[@liesmol]

Mine stands in the closet way behind the christmas box. 😬🫣

[@julietetlours]

Just a quick tip re bread, it's always good to let it fully cool down before slicing as the moisture escapes in the form of steam :)

[@saundramoragne3431]

Warm bread with butter is the best!!

[@hiimniasha]

This is such a good note

[@Daura.a.b.]

Haven't watched the full video, had to pause and comment - that intro! Oh my, another level ❤ what a beautiful video 🤩 Best wishes from 🇮🇪🍀

[@Louisadaniellaj]

The bread will be lovely with your bone broth too 😋 I just love Lumi’s meow! She’s so beautiful especially curled up outside, making the most of the milder temperatures before it’s time to snuggle up inside on a warm blanket by the fire ❤

[@amandasutherland8545]

You could find that it sank in the middle as you used skimmed milk instead of milk powder. Looks really good though and have made me want to use mine again xx

[@hiimniasha]

This is such a good note. I have to remember this

[@kathrinemadden166]

Just a little tip, when you add the dry ingredients you need to sprinkle them evenly in the bread container, especially the yeast.

[@purdyandfigg]

Thank you, Lydia. We're so glad you love Purdy & Figg!

[@reneeecooper]

Riding is what is helping your bottom look fantastic! It uses muscles that you usually don’t. I love watching you ride and your progression with your seat and your leg! Keep it up, horses ground us and give healing like nothing else can,

[@melissaburstall7191]

The green paint in the living room really is beautiful. I loved the black but that green is a vibe 🫶

[@MickiB0610]

How great to give a loaf of homemade bread and your honey with spooly and a tea towel for Christmas! 🎄

[@hiimniasha]

Aww I love this

[@Chopperdoll]

The concern in Ali’s face looking at the bread. 😂

[@ilonaalenkova934]

Perfect timing for my cozy evening! Thank you Lydia 🫶🏻

[@laurabaerg8986]

I just love your seasonally inspired videos, Lydia. Thank you for sharing with us! I am LOVING the playlist - perfection! 🤍

[@cupcake150911]

That playlist was heavenly. I love dancing to music by myself whilst enjoying my imperfect life. Thank you Lydia💕💐

[@mariposa1933]

Favorite time of year with Lydia and fam. 🍂🌾🍁🥰 Thanks for the playlist! Love it!

[@BeachBumsk8]

Excellent! I will be tuning in to your channel for the rest of the year 🍁🌲

[@maplehouseandlodge6755]

Love this !! Absolutely adore the autumn season . I used to have a bread machine a million moons ago but you’re making me definitely want another one !! You can’t beat it and also just knowing very few ingredients are in it is so much better for you too! I’m definitely feeling like an autumn reset clean /sort out and the baking /wholesome dinner mode ON. Incredible that instant switch from August to September! Tis the season ! Let’s enjoy it ! Xx 🍂

[@lindagregoire8001]

My bread makers say make a “well” for the yeast because it shouldn’t touch the water until it’s starting the mixing. I just make a little hole in the middle and pour the yeast in last . It comes out round ,smooth and delicious 😋 and yes , set it for a dark crust . The house smells so good when you’re cooking bread 🍞

[@karencurtis6141]

So pleased your bread tasted as amazing as it looks 🤗. I love seeing the joy on your face from everything homely 🥰. Take care xx xxx

[@LMoon20]

Ally’s face with the bread! Classic. Did look good though when it was sliced.

[@lydiamillen]

He has such a bad poker face 😂

[@louyoung7515]

Think I fell in love with Ally in this video, LYDIA have his babies already woman!!! xxx

[@crystialst3203]

I take my room sprays and linen sprays and put them in old fashioned perfume spray bottles you know the glass ones with the pump ❤

[@cherrytree2897]

Hi Lydia, great first attempt of machine bread, that’s so great to try something new and homemade bread is so much better for you plus you get the lovely bread baking smell throughout the house. A few tips as I have been baking bread in and out of machine for many years now…I think your bread probably had too much liquid in it as the milk powder can’t be substituted with liquid, which would have caused the sink, I don’t use milk powder but you may want to look up other recipes to find one that suits your machine. Recipes often have a lot of sugar in them and you don’t need lots. It’s best to get it out of the tin almost immediately as the bread starts to sweat in the tin, and again let it cool before you cover it or wrap it, I just use a clean tea towel. It goes stale quickly but you will be used to that having sourdough. Ali will be able to mix pizza dough too so I’m sure he will be having a go soon enough! All the best for your bread making :)

[@shelbytaylor1076]

Such a warm & cosy video! Thank you for sharing my playlist 🥰🍁🍷🤎

[@joannahrynk4920]

If you want rustic bread, sourdough type of crust make your dough in the bread maker and then bake it in the oven in the cast iron dish 👌🏽 xx

[@ShannonKildaire-ui9vr]

Lydia has the cutest little daschunds. Had these dogs in the past they are the best. So cute 😊

[@fyre2447]

Lydia, I love your homemaking videos and the passion you bring to them! Since January, I’ve been on a breadmaking and sourdough journey, learning that patience and practice are key. Each loaf teaches me something new, and I find joy in the experience. Recently, I started milling my own flour, as store-bought flour is processed and stripped of fiber and bran. There are many resources online about the health benefits of freshly milled flour. Oh, and your honey on fresh-made bread would be excellent! Bread knives with an offset handle allow a full cut before your hand hits the cutting surface. Look forward to seeing more of your bread making journey. Thank you for inspiring me and many others! 😊🍞

[@Alice-t3h]

I just love your vlogs so much. They bring me such peace. I can't wait for the next one😊

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Yes, I love the way you use your Hermes bags - like bags, not porcelain.

[@lydiamillen]

Yessss x

[@hiimniasha]

I’m starting to see the first signs of Autumn as well. So far I’m seeing just a few golden leaves. It makes me so excited ❤️❤️🤗

[@dvorster5646]

Love the bag charm, so cute!

[@lydiacarels7912]

I use to have a breadmaker. It goes off quite quickly, because there are no preservatives in it. Therefore you really have to put it in a Tupperware! Also: you have to siff the flower beforehand. You can add herbs, but pref. no fresh ones, because that will add moist to the mixture. So dried rosemary etc. Focaccia is also delish to make. Good luck!

[@please-wake-up-now]

I'm really loving this autumn vibe! 🍂 The bread looks so good, I might just start a baking spree! Also, those candles are a must-have for cozy nights in. Can't wait to curl up with a good book and some fresh bread! 🥖✨

[@sharonwolters3319]

I've used the same Henckel bread knife for over 35 years and I still love it! ❤

[@lindsaymorgan7626]

My mum received a set of Henckels as a wedding gift in 1970 and they’re still the only knives she uses! Definitely made to last 😊

[@soo6087]

Me too, the bread knife is still going strong 🎉

[@StyleNotes]

The Victorinox bread knife is the best ever! 🫶 Lovely vlog as always! Autumn hugs from Norway 🥰

[@ashsinha2769]

Your video helps to realign our own life by getting positively motivated and inspired

[@lydiamillen]

🥹 you’re so lovely x

[@susanhilton8833]

Beautiful intro, Autumn begins 🍁

[@hiimniasha]

Agreed

[@thestickitartstudio7374]

Anyone else yelling at the screen to put your own honey on it??!! Just me? Well done 🎉

[@lydiamillen]

On what????

[@georgiac2993]

Omg yes! Freshly baked bread with butter and honey is pure heaven and I was waiting for it 😂

[@thestickitartstudio7374]

@@lydiamillen Your home made bread!

[@AleksandraNowicka-rm6sx]

Kobieto zwiń tę włosy są piękne ale nie w kuchni 😉

[@lydiamillen]

GENIUS 😂🙊

[@teresahalliday3680]

I love autumn and winter so I am with you for autumn arriving. Nothing sweeter or more calming than a sleeping cat!

[@katienorth]

For the bread if you place the water, sugar and yeast in the maker first and leave it for 10-15mins and let it do it's thing and then go in with the flour, oil and salt it seems to give better results I've found ❤

[@rhulballroomandlatin]

Its super easy to make your own butter (and probably good content too!) You only need double cream, salt and a mixer.

[@karonfrench1012]

Great vlog Lydia. You won’t regret having a bread machine. I’m on my fifth one now. I’ve not bought bread for about 30 years. The more you use it and gain confidence the more types of flour you can try! I’m absolutely sure you’ll love it as much as I do! 👍🥰

[@hollysumbler2409]

The best bread knife is from Jono knife, they are like a bow shape. The bread looks delicious!

[@elysechazan9187]

Oh Sunday coffee, and a new vid. Was just watching Cliveden house from last year….❤

[@sammieroberts1269]

I also make my own bread at home and after many a battle with different bread knives I found and electric knife cuts the best with the most even cut and quick and easy! Yay!

[@ajgarcia8058]

My my thnx for that dinner playlist… it’s a playlist I didn’t know I wanted… now I’ve got ❤❤❤❤ to

Yeast is best firstly mixed with sugar. Water best if mild warm when yeast and sugar land in it. Flour sifted is also better. And as top of the bread maker has no heat that top is never looking nor is ever baked like all other 5 sides.

[@paulineclare5065]

Love the unboxing love the candle I have had Purdy & Fig for 2 years would not go back to the old cleaning stuff!

[@Lynne-ly6bh]

I’ve downloaded the playlist Lydia! Great songs! Can’t wait to listen to it. Bread looks delicious 😊

[@AntiquesFindsByViola]

Cosying up to you on a Sunday morning love your channel Lydia ❤

[@lorimartin7662]

Lydia you can get that label off of the candle easily if you use your hairdryer on the hottest setting for just a bit. Comes right off.

[@rexysmum]

Such a great tip, thanks SO much !!!🌸

[@JenTSweden]

Happy me that found your KZbin! Love the TikTok so looking forward to this as well 🩷

[@VeronicaZaharia]

The way you and Ali talk to each other ✨

[@lynnefusco5320]

That bread makes fantastic toast for the next day Lydia ❤️

[@lydiamillen]

🤤🤤🤤

[@beverleyabrown488]

Damn! I have a love/ hate relationship with your Amazon hauls. They cost me a fortune. 😂😂😂❤

[@hiimniasha]

😂😂😂

[@VondaSims]

Actually caught myself saying "Aw," out loud at the Porter charm and again at little Lume sleeping. 💕💕

[@lmlfamily3]

I just love your videos and it makes my husband laugh at the amount I talk back to you as you are talking to ‘us’. The Christmas tree gave me joy and you can’t have too many pots. Also love the nude nails as you sliced the bread. Suits you madam 💅

[@lydiamillen]

Thank you so much 🤍

[@soo6087]

Have been using Purdy & Fig for a while now, simply lovely cleaning experience

[@TheCazmin]

I swear your videos are getting better and better by the day 🎉🎉 Your reaction to the sausage dog thingy, priceless 😂

[@alisonkovacs9519]

Lydia babe I love the autumn is one of my favourite months❤❤

[@titi7178]

Sometimes the bread machine has a hard time mixing the ingredients evenly, which can cause the collapsed center, dry bits, etc. So you could premix the ingredients: the wets and all the dried separate and them add them to your machine. (this is only if your machine continues to give you an uneven mix.)

[@jojodesrosiers8096]

As I’m watching your vlog eating my Michigan cherry walnut toast. Bread makers were very popular in the US years ago. My cleaning lady now owns it. We have so many good bread stores that it easier to buy. However, I know the feeling you’re experiencing. Nothing like the smell and taste. I just watched one of your videos from 4 years ago. I must compliment you on how much you’ve evolved. Love your new style. Jojo

[@rexysmum]

You are lucky having so many good bread stores !!! I live in rural Australia, my nearest bakery is a 6 hour drive away, so I couldn’t be without my trusty bread maker 🌸

[@veritystothard1664]

I love that of all the beautiful things you showcase on your channel that bread maker is the thing I’m now obsessed with the idea of 😂

[@Alex-x1k]

Loved this! I’ve already been looking at a bread maker just since watching this. 😂

[@TheEyeMustTravel]

Welcome to Autumn🍂🍃🍁🤩All you need is a serrated knife so you can hear the crunch of the clean slice😱knowing that the yumminess is coming🍞Bon Appetite

[@TheEyeMustTravel]

🤩🙌🏽🌺

[@kathleenthiel4973]

Very relaxing and pleasant video.

[@ChristineAlexander-t6t]

Omg you are simply hilarious I just love how much you get excited go you 👏👏👏

[@erinclarke5915]

Global knives are great especially the bread knife. bit more expensive side but knives are well used.

[@shannoncutshall8229]

I love how you are so feminine and vibrant ❤

[@IS-gk4jf]

😂 no, it's never too early to celebrate Christmas spirit. I live in Sydney, Australia, and I pretty much start celebrating the Christmas feeling as soon as spring/September hits. I am already playing Christmas jingles in the morning already. I can't wait until the Cicada's start singing outside. For me, Christmas is over way too fast. 🎉

[@natalietaylor8875]

Bread knife recommendation - Robert Welch! So good! All of their knives tbh are amazing x

[@JessicaDavis23656]

Love autumn

[@Fleurdonvariadv2264]

A little tip.....😊After removing the bread let it sit for about 5 minutes, gently brush the top with butter, the cover the bread with a natural linen kitchen towel...... Happy baking!!

[@lydiamillen]

Oooo I will try this 🤍

[@emmanorman9530]

I’ve got an Opinel No 12 serrated knife which I’d recommend. It’s for picnics, as it folds but I use it all the time 🍂

[@suziecheeseman3760]

Yes! Opinel has made knives in France since 1890. Beautifully crafted.

[@fionaelizabeth6712]

Practically perfect in every way ❤

HAPPY AUTUMN 🤎🧡☕🍁🍂🥞🍪

[@lorrainenolan5604]

I was looking at your hat on its standcat the back of you in dressing room and i thought another 2 hats on stands would look lovely 😊

[@aksileb]

Try fresh yeast. My bread was always sunken in the middle until I started using fresh yeast. My recommendation.

[@SarahLouiseBacchus]

I make bread and it’s so easy to do by hand!!! I don’t even weigh the ingredients now!! Give hand made bread a go! It’s amazing to watch it rise and bake a rustic loaf! I now need to make some tomorrow lol 😂

[@donnaclark4479]

Great vlog Lydia❤ with the bread maker the leaflet will have a trouble shooting section it’s really helpful X

[@margotwelland2459]

Great effort Lydia on making bread 🍞 ❤🫶🏻

[@lydiamillen]

Thank you 😋

[@michellefenton3490]

You need a bread slicer gadget Amazon do timber ones you pop your loaf in and when you cut your slices they are straight and even

[@blondel8408]

My daughter asked would you ever consider writing a children’s book about the sausage dogs?

[@lydiamillen]

How lovely would that be 🤎

[@christineleonard8976]

In the meantime there is a newish children’s book with sausage dogs called Two Dogs!

[@ClaireQuinn-x1c]

With Evergreen themes and an appreciation for the seasons as the storyline. I would love to read something like this to my little ones 😊🌿 ​@@lydiamillen

I wanted to comment like 3wks ago about your bum, but I wanted you to bring it up first. You look soooo GOOD Lydia! 💖

[@DeathByFashion1]

I got 2 bread makers haha one is a small Cuisinart and the big boy zojirushi. I use them several time a week. Any dough I need to make goes in there. Not just good for bread making Edit: I recommend weighing ingredients for best results and Add liquids first

[@SherryBaby1107]

I’m so intrigued to now try a bread maker!! I honestly always felt a little intimidated by having to to try and make a sour dough starter….could not be bothered unfortunately however a bread making machine could just be the what I need to try my hand at this!! Would love to try a rosemary/garlic or my favorite fig and seed which is difficult to find! Very exciting to see the different varieties that you create! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me to make bread!! The storage of the machine though 😩 Enjoy the beginning of this wonderful new season ahead! Let the “tartan era” commence!🍁🌻🍂🍄‍🟫🌾

[@rhulballroomandlatin]

I enjoy and love autumn but I'll be enjoying it on the 22nd September 😂 each to their own 🥰

[@GraceDonofrio-99]

Any labels that I need to get off I use the Dawn Powerwash dish spray, gets all the sticky residue off. Because that candle is such a pretty color, just have to get that label off

[@user-jv5lo5rc1l]

I use purdy and figg, the scents last ages after using.

[@JoyStrahle]

Check instructions water temp can effect the yeast rising and try different bread It takes couple times to get used to new appliance. I would leave bucket in machine and add ingredients unless it say’s to remove while adding.

[@deboraharnold2130]

Have you tried the Spanish cleaning & laundry products Lydia. They are amazing ❤

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

So beautiful this vlog love it

Lydia: i find anything with colour in my home jarring even my cleaning cloths must be neutral. Also Lydia: pulls out a bright yellow candle 😂😂 Loved this haul though. Can't beat an amazon shop.
