To cook bread in.....twice

OP - what happened next?
Aside from all party promises and lies, here is what happened to the BREAD MACHINE SAGA.
Finally become resolved to the sad fact that no fecker was going to give me a bread machine to experiment with and due to the continued (never-fecking-ending) prodding of "she who must be obeyed" I decided to put on some clothes, start real early and try and find DumpassR to do a search for the holy BREAD MACHINE to buy(sadly).
Went to Mitral11, Hypermarket, ACE, several points in between and finally Carrefour. None of them had anything like what I was looking for but, as I'm sure you're all familiar with, they all said something to the affect that "yes, just finished Boss" or pointed me at an oven or "Yes, just here! Oh sorry all gone now!".
Until, happy days, the young lovely at Carrefour said quite matter-of-factly yes here you are. And for the princely sum of 2.1 juta I was the proud owner of the last, the very last, bread machine in all of Bali - it was the last display model.
That should have set alarm bells ringing but you have to understand that I was so euphoric at having actually appeased "she who must be obeyed" and had visions of my reward dancing in my pants that I just paid and left before something happened to turn it all to crud.
Those of you who have cooler heads will have seen the error of my ways: The Display Model - was missing small pieces of no consequence like the rotor that kneads the dough and the measuring cups that must be exactly followed if your end product is to be edible.
Luckily I had already reaped my reward as on the next day this deficiency became clear when reading the hated User Manual. Again, luckily Carrefour and the pretty girl gave me back my hard earned and I was again asked that hateful question "What the fuck are we doing here in a country with one broken bread machine per 5 million people!".
You answers on a 100,000 Rupiah note please.

Well that too..
We have a 44 gallon drum....
Just that an oven is easy, plugged in and away ya go....thought it may suit markits demeanor more than being creative and firing up a manual cooker.....I could be wrong of course.
In fact....we have often imported over here from Oz an outback tradition....we sit in the rice fields...when its dry....light a fire, boil the billy and cook damper on a stick, then pour honey down the hole.......outstanding.
Markit should try that one.
Smoke
maybe markit would pour honey down the wrong hole ?
possible get no.idea to give directions on that lol

Our 5th loaf of absolutely wonderful, crusty white bread. This is the 1kilo model. Examples 1 and 3 didn't go so well as missus was so eager (hardly recognized her) for her fix of "coffee bread" that she buggered up the yeast bit - poured it on top of boiling butter and ended up with flat bread.
Thanks to Gurkha for the tip about Pantry Magic in Kuta they were great (and pretty!) so will be returning as often as I am allowed.
Bought their Kenwood 350 bread machine for 2.3 juta. Actually about the same price in Europe.
Happy as Larry (whoever he is?)

Talk about Thread Drift - from baking bread to tearing the testicles off a sheep/crocodile.
If anyone is still interested in the OP there are 4 types of flour available locally: 3 are the premium glossy with nice pictures of lovely cakes and goodies @ 11k IDR the 1kilo bag and the other is the generic flour in a generic bag for 8k IDR. So far am unable to make any difference in quality of final product out and have made lots of different breads from coffee to enriched white bread with both types - all are great.
