Not sure what you are trying to achieve here.

For me, I did have a fling with bread-maker and it was fun and quite
nice. Very much depended on exact flour and recipe - small
differences had quite an effect - but under-kneading never seemed to
be an issue.

I find that bread made with a bread maker always come out with a bit
of a "cakey" consistency.

Mine doesn't.

Oh **** - about to get into a discussion with this retarded antipodean
here ...

To make good (to my taste) you need strong whiter flour

I much prefer a grain bread myself.

I do a 50-50 mix of strong white and wholemeal normally - the strong
white gives the texture, the wholemeal makes it worth eating
