Help on modifying a recipe

November 3, 2020 - 7:49am -- Paul Cohen

I recently bought a bread machine and after success with several loaves following directions carefully, I ventured out to modify a recipe.  I had made a loaf of "buttermilk rye bread";  I like a good rye bread but this bread did not really work for me. I liked the texture very much but the very faint rye taste did not seem to me to work.

Random Brioche success

July 25, 2020 - 6:01am -- Bladerunner

All, 

Please see attached image.

I'm using a Panasonic SD-2511 machine. Basic bread making is always a success.

Brioche making recently has been a bit of a hit and miss with results.I always follow the recipe to the letter. I'm trying to narrow down on what variables could cause this failure.

I thought maybe the bread pan / machine was still hot from the previous bread it made. So I made the Brioche loaf my first bread of the day as the machine was started at room temperature. It turned out a failure.

Panasonic SD-2511 - Baking Brioche

July 22, 2020 - 6:46pm -- Bladerunner

Hi all! This is my first post and first venture into bread making.

I have made half a dozen loaves with my new bread maker and I'm very impressed.

I'm a little confused with this recipe attached for Baking Brioche. It mentions twice about cutting butter and keeping it in the fridge. When do I add this butter? do I add it all at once in the beginning? or all after 55 mins.Or is it 50g in the beginning as part of the main mix/ and then 70g after 55 mins?

Please can you help? I would like to make the tastiest Brioche possible with this machine.

long time bread machine user, old machine broke

howdy.

my wife likes taiwanese/japanese style bread, and i haven't been able to make it consistently in the bread machine. i suspect that tangzhong (heating a roux and adding it to the mix) is required to get the fluffy, tearapart texture she likes. the closest i've gotten to her ideal loaf is:

  • sugar substitute 12g
  • butter 58g
  • sugar 28g
  • salt 3g
  • water 220g
  • all-purpose flour 350g
  • instant dry yeast 9g
  • gluten 35g

i've been baking with and without the help of a bread machine for about five years.

Bread Machine and Bread Machine Book(s) - WS0598, Brody & Apter

May 27, 2020 - 10:08am -- charles.n.herri...

I just got a Williams Sonoma WS0598 bread machine off Craigs List (Austin, TX). Williams Sonoma no longer makes their own bread machine, and I had to get the manual (copy) on Ebay. 

I also got the book "Bread Machine Baking" (revised edition) by Brody & Apter. I had to go to HPB.com to get this.

Before I make my first bread, I have a question ... in the Brody/Apter book, they often say "put the machine on dough, take out the dough and bake the break in the oven".

Baked an Oatmeal Brick

April 28, 2020 - 12:27pm -- Blatherscribe

Greetings,

I recently bought a Zojirushi Virtuoso bread machine to help me get back into baking, and I've run into a bit of trouble. I tried to make some oatmeal sandwich bread using the recipe from King Arthur Flour, and what I got was a brick. Worse still, it tastes somewhat like cardboard -- not even a tasty brick!

Allinson Time Saver Yeast in Bread Machine

April 15, 2020 - 1:14pm -- gmcm2000

Hi,

I’m new to this site so hopefully I have posted in the right section. Since the Coronavirus lockdown I have been trying to start using my bread machine again but have been unable to get any yeast; I always used Allinson’s Easy Bake (green tin). I have just bought Allinson’s time saver yeast as it is the only yeast I could find in the last 3 weeks. Can someone let me know if I can use this in a bread machine?

Gluten Free Bread - Bread Machine

April 14, 2020 - 2:13pm -- Roti

Greetings everyone!

I'm new to making GF bread and just recently purchased a bread machine (Hitachi). It's a rather older machine, and there is not a gluten free setting.

Can I use the machine using the "dough" setting to mix all the ingredients + knead, and take it out to slowly rise outside of the machine? 

Or should I use the Whole Wheat setting (which i'm a little wary) since I do not have the manufacturer recommended recipe for GF bread (Since there's no setting for this)
