Club Breadmakers

Quick bake allows less time for the dough to prove and therefore the bread will turn out denser and heavier. I even used French setting for my normal white bread recipe. It involves even longer proving. So the bread even fluffier. To me, the machine does everything. So I’m not borthered how long it is going to prove.

Thanks for sharing these pointers schweppes. :celebrate: At least now I know the difference between the normal and quick bake

Most welcome. We are all learning from each other. Guess if one has the time, then use the regular function. But if pressed for time, then I wd use the quick bake function :celebrate:

In fact, hope to use the cake function this weekend too. Itching to bake the Banana cake

I love banana cakes. :drool: :drool:[/quote]haha...I am buying banana tomorrow...as that is my next bread or cake.....

b2b3m4:

Instant yeast or rapid rise yeast are meant to be used in breadmaker. They need not be mixed with water to foam up 1st before mixing in the flour.


For active yeast, one needs to mix with water and sugar 1st to activate the yeast. It is more suitable for breadmaking using the manual method. I have used this French baker yeast before in my bread machine. I find that it doesn't give me as good result. I got the baker king instant yeast at $2.05 from Cold Storage.

OIC, thanks b2b3m4 Will switch to Baker King after my frenchy yeast runs out

:idea: just thinking aloud, the banana must be over-ripe? Then easier to mash

But, ripe or not ripe, bananas are basically very easy to mash, right?
