Using sponge method with bread machine.

March 30, 2020 - 4:44am -- idaveindy

It seems to me that bread-machine recipes, and the machines themselves, are designed around using 1 packet, (7 grams, or 2-1/4 teaspoons) of instant dry yeast.  Or... anywhere from 2 to 3 teaspoons of yeast.

It occurred to me that if you want to save yeast, you might be able to make a sponge first, using perhaps 1/8 tsp yeast, and some water and flour, and maybe sugar, taking the water/flour out of the total recipe amount.  

The flour/water/sugar would then grow or cultivate  the 1/8 tsp yeast to an amount equivalent to the 2-1/4 tsp.

No yeast - help

March 21, 2020 - 7:46am -- Pinkally

Hi everyone, 

I bought a bread maker and have never made bread or baked at all really.

My question is I want to bake bread but I don't have any yeast and can't get any from anywhere.

The ingredients I have are as follows

self-raising flour

plain flour

bicarbonate of soda

baking powder

salt

Can I bake bread out of that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks and take care.

Allison

How do I make a crumpet “disaster”?

February 29, 2020 - 6:34am -- ashmeadskernel

We have a Parasonic model SD2501 - The Best tool in our  kitchen. However we do sometimes have slight disasters when presumably we measure ingredients incorrectly.

 

One disaster produced a crumpet -like bread which we love! My question is how can I repeat it without knowing what we did wrong? I think I used the rapid white recipe.

 

Thanks

Vegan whole wheat bread

February 3, 2020 - 6:50pm -- welshiecake

I'm a noobie and a complete novice. This is my first post here as well.

My family and I are vegan and I want to make vegan whole wheat bread in our Sunbeam bread machine. Over the last 6 months I have been using this recipe: https://www.breadmakermachines.com/recipes/100-whole-wheat-bread-recipe/ extremely successfully with one caveat: My wife got "white bread flour" from Costco. But, with this white bread flour, the loaf came out great.

This recipe keeps resulting in collapsed loaf

Hi Everyone! I'm at my wits' end! I love the flavor of this recipe but can't get it to succeed in my Sunbeam 5891 bread maker. Perhaps some of you can tell me how to adjust this recipe. It rises and looks normal, but then it "pops" like a bubble during baking. I end up with a thin layer of crust on the top and a crater underneath that sinks down about 1/3 of the way.

1 1⁄3 cups milk

1⁄4 cup water

2 tablespoons honey

4 tablespoons butter

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 1⁄4 teaspoons yeast
