I bought a Breadman TR555 bread machine and, in the instruction manual, there is no mention to the different cycles for each program (how many cycles of kneading/rising, how long is each step, etc). I sent 2 emails to the company (Salton), but I had no response after 6 months (I received a confirmation email each time, saying they would get back to me in 2-3 business days...). The reviews for this bread machine were mixed and a lot of them were warning about the poor customer service, but I ignored them. I should not have to!

Does someone own the same machine and know the description of each program?

Thanks for your help! 

When the machine goes into the bake cycle after about 10 min. the risen dough falls slightly,it doesn`t stay rounded on top.

What could the cause of this be? And also what is the difference between whole wheat flour and graham flour?      rcm243

I need to know if it will make a difference if I use potato flakes instead of potato flour in a pain de mie recipe I have. TIA

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section, this pretty much is my first time using a forum umm anyway I was wondering if anyone has the instruction guide/manual for the Breville Baker Oven? because my mother's friend gave it to me and she's lost the manual and we dont know how to make it bake, if somebody could simply scan then basic instructions like how to set it to bake and stuff then that would be very helpful :)

my email address is

thanks loads :) 

I don't know what to do. This recipe is the highest-rated bread machine white bread on another site:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Best-Bread-Machine-Bread/Detail.aspx

It says to let the yeast soak in 110 degree water/sugar for 10 minutes. My Panasonic bread-machine instruction manual specifically says not to let the yeast soak in water first. I think it is because the machine already has an initial rest period with a heating-element going at the beginning. So perhaps Panasonic says not to do this because it knows the machine already does it. But for all I know, the recipe already factors that in, and still wants you to do it anyway. So do I follow the recipe or the Panasonic guidelines? My guess is to follow the recipe -- especially if all bread machines have an initial rest period.

Can anyone tell me why all the bread i make forms giant craters in the middle. 1/2 the height of my loaf is just walls that stand up that grow along the side of my pan.

I am using a 3lb bread machine if that makes a difference.. and sometimes it seems to overflow so much that it gets teh window all messy with dough.... then the bread deflates. :(

thanks for any help you can give. 

I am looking for a recipe for bread that is not "floppy".  The bread I have made with my new Sojirushi is wonderful but would not be stiff enough to hold up a sandwich.  I am in my 60's and have had a sandwich every day since I was 6 years old.  Thank you in advance for your suggestion.

Hi,

I am new here and I need help, yesterday I mad a recipe I found on the King Arthur site for the pullman pan, I started it in my Zo machine, which is where I messed up, I realized too late that I forgot to put in kneading blades, so I had to dump my ingredients in a bowl and put them in and replace, the loaf  seemed better than I have ever made before, For once I cut the slices perfect, but I tasted a piece and it was horrible, it was heavy and dense. I did use malt milk powder from the store, I do have the diastatic malt powder from KA, someone said I could use the store stuff. I can't afford to keep wasting all the ingredients. I hope the only thing I did wrong was having to dump out the mixture for the blades. Any ideas?

Hi I just got a new breadmaker for mothers day and we are trying to find recipes for it. It a black and decker all in one horizontal delux. THat makes 2-3lb loaves. Can anyone hlep us out? Thanks.

I have a West Bend bread machine and can make excellent white bread that rises just up over the top of the pan perfectly every time. However, when I make whole wheat bread - and I've tried several recipes - it never rises - oh, it may rise 40% of the pan height at most, but that's it. My 1.5 lb. wheat bread load is less than half the height of my 1.5 lb. white bread.

Any suggestings on where to start looking for the cause? I have all fresh ingredients.

Thanks oodles!
