Happy Mama:

I use Prima and Phoon Huat flour, depending on where and when I replenish my stock.


By the way, it seems like most people use Prima flour. Is there any particular reason? Does it make our bread fluffier? Thanks.

After experimenting a bit, the proportion that I am most comfortable with is 1 cup bread flour and 1 cup wholemeal flour.

Sorry, cannot answer your 2nd question. I am using the z machine to bake bread and I do not use milk nor eggs.

I have tried bake king and prima bread flour. No diff. Frankly speaking I think the flour makes little difference. I also think the confectionaries out there do use bread improver but I am trying not to have to rely on that. Thus the experiment with the TangZhong. B4 Z machine long time ago, I made buns using recipes that call for Tang Zhong and they turn out quite soft. But with Z machine, I have yet to get the right combination. And I think though the machine does the kneading, the kneading process is not enough to achieve the membrane like state when proofing.

Lately no time to experiment. Will try again and if I can find the right formula, will let you guys know.

suddenly remembered the lao shi said when we mix the ingredients, always remember salt has to be the last. only put in salt when we start to switch on mixer.


she said many people will mix salt and sugar together which is not the right way. asked her why she said go ask the older student as always dnt like to answer to questions :lol:

this is correct, but i cant recall the reason.. my laoshi .. haaa.. told us before too.. can search from web for the reason if u want
