Diana & All,

I used the Dough Cycle on my Breadman last Saturday to make dinner rolls.  The dough was programmed to knead for approximately 20 minutes.  I am wondering if I want the dough to be kneaded for a longer period of time, what should I do?  The Breadman that I have is the basic one which doesn't allow me to change the program settings.  Do I stop the machine and restart the Dough Cycle again so that the dough can be kneaded for extra time?

Thank you very much!

Oppss

Hi Oppss,

I am not that familiar with the different bread machines. I am hoping that someone else reads your message and can give you better advice on this.

Of course, you could always remove the dough after it has been kneaded by the machine and knead it by hand for a little bit longer time.

Take care and like I said, I hope someone else reads this.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help to you on this particular subject.

Sincerely, Diana

Hi Diana,

Don't worry about that.  Maybe someone else will answer the question.  I will also keep trying with the dough cycle.  Hopefully the bread turn out better next time!

Hi, Irene,
Thank you for your 'white bread' recipe. I try out but still it not fluffy and soft like commercial bread. I took out from the machine once it stop baking but inside some parts are not cook and the outer are crispy.Could it be my machine problems or the way I lay the ingredients. Oop!I follow the instructions from the book and not yours as I just  realise I had missed that part.Any way, I will try again and let you know the result as soon as I finish baking.
Thank you.
Yummy Yummy

Enjoy Baking!

I am sorry SanLim the recipe should goes like this. Just saw the mistake.

1 cup water
14 gm butter
1 tsp salt
340 gm bread flour ( high protein flour)
1 tbsp milk powder
1 tbsp fine granulated sugar
1 tsp instant yeast

Put all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order suggested above. Slect Basic (Dark - 3 hours 25 minutes). At the end of the cycle. turn off and remove the bread immediately from the pan.

May I know if you are using Kenwood Bread Machine? My friend who own a Kenwood follow the instructions from the booket given fail everytime she bake her bread especially the wholemeal bread. But when she follow the recipe I give and put the ingredients as stated in the recipe her bread always come out ok.

Happy Baking,

Hi Irene,
Thank you for your quick reply. My bread machine is "Princess". I tried out the first recipe you gave me and it turn out soft inside but the crust is quite hard. Should I put to light instead of dark? I'll will try again tonight using your latest recipe. You'll hear from me soon.By the way, should the water use be warm or not?

Enjoy Baking!

Yes you can try using the light cycle. The water use should be at room temperature. Hope this time the bread will turn out just the way you like it Smile


  Happy Baking

Hello everyone.  I am new to this iste, but I am hoping somebody could help me.  I have an Oster Model 5838 Bread Machine.  I have had it for awhile and always used pre-made mixes for it.  The bread was ok, but was always a little dense.  I recently started using a recipe I found for French Bread in the machine and I have the same problem only worse.  The bread is incredibly dense, coming out like a brick almost.  I have tried double sifting the flour first and adding a little Olive oil.  That seemed to help a little bit but not that much.  Here is teh recipe I have been using

1 1/2 cups water
4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt (Kosher)
2 1/2 tsp Dry yeast

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you
