B&D B2300 bread machine cycle times?

December 10, 2019 - 5:21pm -- ooeybc

Does anyone know when the Black and Decker B2300 bread machine stops kneading on the Basic setting (No. 1) and goes into the baking portion of the cycle?  There is no timeline for each cycle in the manual. I want to remove the kneading paddles and when necessary reshape the dough just before the bread starts baking. I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. Thanks in advance.

Bread top falls, Barley-Wheat bread

July 4, 2019 - 4:11pm -- sdean7855

I have a basic wheat with Barley recipe that's my everyday bread, recipe here. Lately I've added an ounce of buckwheat flour (to 16 of all-purpose flour and 4 of barley).

Today I happened to look in on the bread just as it began to bake; it was high and domed, looked beautiful.  When it was done, I found that the top of the loaf had fallen, maybe a half inch. Here's the end view:

Is second rise needed with Russel Hobbs 18036?

December 5, 2018 - 8:07am -- hannahskellam

Hi I am making bread rolls, I find some recipes say take the dough out if the bread machine, punch it, shape it and leave under a damp warm cloth to rise for 45 mins.

 

Other recipes just say remove dough and leave for ten mins, then shape.

 

so far I’ve only been looking for white roll recipes.

 

Does it just depend on the recipe or should I always punch, shape, cover and leave to rise once it’s out of the bread machine?

 

Thanks in advance

Whole grain hearth-type breads in bread machine?

November 22, 2018 - 12:45pm -- brec

Hello! I just joined.

For quite a few years, ending about 1 3/4 years ago when I moved to another city and left my Zojirushi BBCC-S15 behind, I made a 100% whole wheat that I really liked; it was fairly crusty, which I like.

Now I'm awaiting delivery of a Zojirushi BB-PAC20 Virtuoso. I see so many pictures on this site of what I'll call "hearthy" breads with thick crusts that I'm inspired to move beyond my "simple" whole-grain standby of yore. An example picture is, at this writing, at the top of TFL's home page.

Can I make hearthy breads in a machine?

Help with wholemeal + white flour recipe

October 28, 2018 - 4:22am -- J83

I'm new to this and I don't really know what I'm doing so please bear with me. 


I recently did my basic white bread recipe for my Kenwood bm250 machine (which has not been very consistent), and I ran out of strong white flour so I substituted a bit with wholemeal. It came out tasting very good but also "floppy".

The bread was nice and soft (it's usually quite dense), not doughy or undercooked in the middle, just the way I like it except for the fact that it's really, really soft and each slice "floppy" and limp. The crust is really good.

Bread & Bake Noob with Breadmaker and latest stuff

October 14, 2018 - 10:23pm -- havtimenodough

Hi, totally new to TFL ..   I have only been using my Westbend since about Feb, totally committed to not buying store bread.  However, stopped making bread when Summer got hot.    So far I mainly use the breadmaker for mixing bread, and pizza dough, and made my 1st cinnamon rolls (see below) a couple days ago.

I thought I would share my 2 latest bakes:
