For me, I would say 50% given away and 50% for self consumption.

smurf:

Erm, do you guys eat the bread or give away? Coz it seems that you are baking a lot! :!:

Eat all. One loaf isn't very big and a small family can finish it in one to two days.

I'm omitting the onion too. Are you using fresh apple or dried apple? Never thought to use that combi although apple and cheese do taste good together.

I thinking of gratting the fresh apples.. it just a thought.. dunno :?

Let us know how it turns out.

All eat

those loaves of bread made by bread machine are rather small,
(smaller than the std size of those commercial avail), so shd be able to consume all in 1 -2 days

Hi All,

After read 200+ pages here I bought a S machine and did make some good bread, Excuse me I do not know how to upload photo yet. Some tips here, hard earned by many failures.

1. less liquid. You can add water or milk if not enough, but it won’t bake well if too much is poured in, since it is the first thing to put in the machine, you can not take out even if it is too much.

2. if the dough does not rise well before baking function starts, let us say the yeast is not enough, you may stop the machine, let it rise, then set the machine to baking mode only later when the dough is ready.

3. Monitor the baking process. If the crust turns light brown, the bread is already ready, stop the machine, even before the machine’s counting down time stops. leave the bread in the machine for overnight if you bake in the evening, or 2 hours later in the day. Then the bread is soft and easy to cut.

4. A bread knife is necessary as already indicated by many moms here, no matter how sharp your knife is, as long as it is not mean for bread, it is not good enough. I happened to go to Diso few days ago and get a $2 bread knife there, there are 2 kinds at ViVo City, I bought the madeinJapan one, it cut good slices, even walnuts inside the bread were cut well.


So in general, manual intervention is needed sometimes. And read the bread machine manual thorughly, so you will know when the kneading, rising, or baking will starts and control manually if neccesary.

Happy baking! Thanks everyone here! Have a nice day every day!
