I think the probs due to brown sugar, amount of yeast and the wholemeal flour

Okie, I get the brown sugar part.

Pls advise the other two.

Oops! Yes, wholemeal bread is a little more tricky to bake because it is difficult to rise... You are so adventurous to try wholemeal as your virgin loaf. All of us started with white bread.

But it's ok, practice makes perfect... :celebrate:

Why arhhhh :?

Alamak, then it shdn't be under the Basic Bread recipe section



BTW, taste is actually quite ok.

Wholemeal flour is heavier, I think... :? Hence needs more yeast. But anyway, if you followed the recipe, then it should be alright what. I don't see any reason why cannot rise... You followed exactly right? Must be the brown sugar then.. Anyway, it's a consolation that it tastes nice... :celebrate:

I am tempted to try tomorrow. Will let you know if I really bake it tomorrow.

smurf:

Does the taste of machine comparable to hand kneaded dough? :?

In my opinion, no. You can use all purpose flour to make bread by manual kneading but you can't achieve that by bread maker.

How much yeast did you use? And do you use all 100% wholemeal flour? Or you mix with bread flour? (Hehehe, too lazy to look for the Z book)

Autumnbronze, are u using wholewheat bread flour or wholewheat bread? If u are using the latter, there isn’t enough gluten to support the structure, so it is difficult to rise. Alternatively u can use half bread flour, half wholewheat flour.

The sugar is the least likely to be the problem.
