Happy Mama:

BUT... this morning around 7.30 am I baked another loaf. I was so sleepy I put in all ingredients without checking my blade until when I put in raisins then I realised there was something wrong with blade. My maid just put in blade without securing it! :!: So I manually adjusted it and it started kneading for a few minutes.

Now my whole machine seems to have gone dead for the past 1 hr 45 mins. No sound, no thermostat sound etc. :stupid: :stupid:

Oh no!! Maybe just take out everything inside the machine and restart from scratch again? :idea:

Cannot leh, now left with 55 minutes to be ready, still no sound.

I think it's not baking at all. :?: :?:

So it kneaded alright? Is it in the proofing stage so that's why no sound? How does your dough look? Is it doughy or crumbly?

Happy mama, if the dough looks crumbly and not doughy, then the bread’s not going to happen. Might as well turn off the machine and make a new batch.

Happy mama....your raisin bread looks yummy....nevermind about where the raisins land....as LKVM said before as long as tasty and yummy, everything lands in the stomach in a mess... :lol:


Btw, what raisin brand you use? I use the sun-maid raisins. I never take care how I pour in but I pour in within 30 seconds after I hear the beep. However, I do remember a trick my mother used when I was young...I saw her putting some flour on the raisins before putting onto her desired dough.

I did a google, it says putting some flour(some only ok and use bread flour...otherwise may affect the bread)on the raisins, this will prevent the raisins from sinking down to the bottom only, so it can spread itself around the dough.

Ok thank you so much ksi. I used Red Man raisins which I bought from Phooh Huat. Maybe I should buy from SL in future?

Hey such a good idea to put some flour on the raisins. Will try next time.

In the meantime, I am :xedfingers: :xedfingers: because I encountered some problems when I tried baking this morning. Z machine seems to have died on me. No sound for the past 2.5 hours! :stupid:

[Happy Mama]

:!: :!: :?: :?: I thought Z machine is supposed to last like forever???


What happened to mine? Gone dead! It cannot bake at all! :stupid: :stupid:

To all who own a mini Zo, do u think it is a good size for a 5 people family? Hub wasn’t keen to bring my kaputed Morphy Richards for servicing since there is no gurantee that it can be fixed. (waste time, waste effort) To him, might as well just get a new one. But i was reading the reviews at Amazon and they are mentioning it is good for couples or people living alone… I was like, then not suitable for me??? I want fresh bread everyday, no excess to ponder over. But not sure if 1lb loaf is little too little for us.

Being Asians, do u think the loaf is enough for my family of 2 adults and 3 kids for breakfast alone?
