Two paddle bread machine

Hi All 

I recently bought a Airbot Bread Maker BM3800, it has two paddles (the link for this machine : https://airbot.sg/collections/small-cooking-appliances/products/bread-maker-mixer-bm3800-red).  

I am having problem with getting the baking tin sit correctly on the machine so that the tin does not move when the dough is mixing. 

I would appreciate any input on this. 

Thank you.

Regards

Doris

Struggle with tight crumb

April 18, 2023 - 10:40am -- ernieS
Forums: 

I have been baking a seeded sourdough rye loaf for a number of years and only once did I ever get a nice crumb like the pictures on the Fresh Loaf site. The recipe is 300g white flour, 400g starter (50/50 white and rye flour and 100% hydration), 500g dark rye, 500g water, 20g salt, and 1/3 cup each of toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. It's tasty, just not the crumb I am looking for. Problem could be starter, could be my stretch and fold method, could be in my timing.

I'm at a loss as to where to start. Suggestions appreciated.

Sourdough Roll Baked on Top of Onion Soup Ramekin

"Sourdough Bake on Top of Onion Soup Ramekin"

A long, long, time ago while residing in Lyon, I remember a small bistro that served a particularly luscious Onion Soup concisting of a Sourdough Roll on top of grated Gruyere Cheese followed by an extremely tasty Onion Soup. The sourdough roll was finished by placing the proofed rolls on top of the grated cheese that topped the hot onion soup in an over sized ramekin soup dish - it was then finished in the oven.
