Hi Twinklejoy,


No i usually remove the bread immediately and let it cool. But my boys have been complaining that the crust is too hard. Which mode do you use ? I usually use the basic \"1\" or \"3\" to bake. Note sure if i'm using the right one.


Hi b2b3m4

Will try and add less water and see how it goes but how do i know that it's not kneaded enough ? Thought since am using a breadmaker, isn't it supposed to be auto ?

Thanks all for yr advice.

Hi mummyof3,
I hv used mode 1 : 2 times and mode 2 : 1 time. I prefer mode 1, shorter baking time. is mode 3 meant for wholemeal with longer baking time, am I right?
have bought the wholemeal flour but yet to try baking wholemeal bread...
Jiayu Jiayu Jiayu!
I will try cheese bread tonight :lol:

You guys are bad influence. Make me wanna go get a breadmaker now. So far I have been using manual power to make my breads and have kinda stopped for a while. Somehow the breads turn out a bit too yeasty for my liking.


Anyways, I use the water roux or Tang Zhong trick to get softer fluffier breads.

Been over a year since I last baked any bread.

Should I or shouldn't I.... yes, no, yes, no, useful, white elephant, ........

Yes you should get the machine, Funz! My family enjoys the breads I baked. Made for my parents and they love it too :love: :love:

Don't worry about it being a white elephant... It won't! But like I mentioned to a few of them in this thread, even if it becomes a white elephant, it will be a CUTE one! :rotflmao:

Did someone mention that we shouldn’t open the lid during rising? I’m so tempted to open up the lid to see why my dough isn’t a ball.

Yes someone mentioned, but I cannot recall who... Please don't open, just peep through the window.

Yes, cheddar this time. I'm anxiously looking at my dough now. It's not quite a ball after first rising, but it's definitely less crumbly than my previous failed loaf. Hopefully it comes together after the beat down and 2nd rising.

oh that's good!! :hi5:
anxiously waiting for your cheese bread :drool: :drool: :drool:

I said that! DON'T do that even if you are tempted or dying to and I am speaking from experience, you want to listen or not, that's your problem!

I was planning to add more liquid to it during the first beat down. But that beat down lasted all of 3 seconds and the screen still showed 'Rise' so i didn't open the lid. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Just popped my ingredients into the machine. Going to try a cheese loaf again.

Good luck!
