2ppaamm, are you the bread expert? Maybe you can help me - when I use my bread machine, my bread has that heavy yeast smell. How come? I normally dump in a little packet of yeast. Maybe that’s too much?

Er... I'm not bread expert leh... but is the quantity correct? Also, I put the liquids below, then the flour above that, and then the yeast. The yeast should never touch the flour before the kneading begins. Why? I forgot. I remember reading it somewhere many, many years ago. If these are not the problem, then I'm not very sure, leh... Yeast also always need sugar to work properly. Why? I also forgot...

the last one- I can explain, i think. Sugar reacts with yeast resulting in respiration which produces carbon dioxide. And its the CO2 bubbles that keep bread soft

Hi Blobbi, my bread machine makes a 2-pound loaf, and uses not more than 2 tsp. How much is your little packet?

How do you working parents managed with so little sleep?! :shock:

Err.... my rest time is from 9am to 6pm.... (noticed this is the office hours too !!).

I am blessed with a very good working environment. No complaints about it.

After 6pm, I will be rushing like mad again.... on the road and in the house with 3 kids + housework + supervising their school homework, enrichment class homework and mummy homework.

Hahahaha.... :celebrate: to 9-6 resting hours!! That's why I'm posting at this hour!

oh goodness, waking up at 5+am. I am sooo glad DD is in the afternoon session. But I guess I will eventually have to face that kind of schedule. My maid prepares breakfast so I get to snooze more. DD is a big breakfast kinda kid while DS is more like me, stomach will wake up only after 10am. So far on our breakfast menu


Cereal
French Toast
Eggs (1/2 boiled, hard boiled, omelette, scrambled, braised)
Steamed Tofu with soba sauce, seaweed and bonito flakes
braised tofu
yoghurt
Shoyu soba
Chawanmushi

Haha. very simple. I get the bottled soba sauce, shredded seaweed and bonito flakes all from NTUC. This tofu can be eaten cold but I prefer it hot.

Just steam the silken tofu for a couple of minutes, pour away the excess water, pour some soba sauce, sprinkle some spring onions and top with a bunch of shredded seaweed and bonito flakes.

And you get a nutritious breakfast that is low fat high protein. Umm if you are concern about the sodium from the soba sauce then water it down a little.

Ooh. I never checked how much the packet holds. It's the standard packet of dried yeast, and should be about 1 tsp.

Maybe the problem is the word \"about\". My bread maker has definitely become a white elephant. Think I better get it out to use wWith more precise measurement), once I'm over this first-days-of-school madness.

Tks guys!
