@happymama前辈，I hv a bread knife fm phoon huat, but don't know how to slice nicely... I asked th shifu at the shop, he said to 'saw' the loaf n let the knife lead th way. But th bread so soft, it's not going any where!!! So in th end, I got uneven ones

I'm not sure about sawing and letting the knife lead the way... but I do know Practice Makes Perfect! So keep trying!

For me I would generally add more of the extra topping thats given in the recipe... So like for example I add almost 1 cup full of raisins for my bread and same goes for banana.. i also do is add half cup of mashed ones and half cup of sliced ones.. maybe u can try that?

Ok will try to make another one. Thanks for your advice..:)

Hi all,

I tried to bake loaf bread using the Z machine. But the loaf never came out as soft as the one from bakery. anyone knows why? Is it because i didn’t use bread improver? What is bread improver? I couldn’t find it in supermarket… Is it the same with baking soda or bicarbonate soda? Another problem is the crust of the loaf baked in the machine seems very hard, eventhough I chose the ‘soft’ mode. How to soften it? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I never used bread improver for my loaves. I used the normal mode and followed the ingredients accordingly as per the booklet and in the right sequence. Bread turned out soft and fluffy.

Did you use old or expired yeast? I had the same experience when I baked my first loaf as I used a 1-yr old yeast (even though not expired) and bread turned out as hard as rock. :razz:

[allseasons]

I don’t think the yeast is expired, just got it from the supermaket shelf. the bread turned out nice when freshly out from the machine (except the crust is not as soft as the bakery one)… but if kept until tomorrow morning, it became dry and a bit hard. I kept it in a dry container…
