Hi all, may I join this club ? I have a very old Breville, stopped baking bread for a while but re-started recently. Anyone here into making 100% wholemeal breads ?


My friend bought Z bread machine, very good reviews like those mentioned earlier in the thread. Actually small loaf to be finished in a day is good as you can bake fresh loaf everyday. Home-baked bread no preservatives so can't keep well.

csc, you need a serrated knife so the bread can maintain structure when you slice.

Welcome to the club, pixiedust :celebrate:

*raise hands* Me!!!

I first started out with my Z baking 100% wholemeal breads. But it never turned out 'nice.' It had a dense look and taste. So I experimented with the portions using bread and wholemeal flour and finally came up with a 1 cup wholemeal and 1 cup bread flour combi for the bread to turn out just nice.

What about you?? Do you bake 100% wholemeal breads??

Hi fellow breadmakers


Good news to share...

After dropping some hints, my hubby went to OG and buy the Z machine as he was nearby ....and as he has to spend $50 to be entitled to buy the product at the special rate ...he bought a wok too ... that's for my mil who was delighted

I baked my first loaf of basic bread yesterday ...and it was a success! It tasted yummy with mushroom soup for this morning breakfast :imcool:

The only upset was the slicing process ...the normal kitchen didn't work well ....anywae ... can't wait to bake another loaf again :boogie:

Hi csc,

Welcome to the club :celebrate:

Your DH is really a gem

A number of us here bought the bread knife from Taka. The brand is Kai, made in Japan. It slices up the bread really nicely. Can't remember the price, but yes, any other serrated knife will do

I think the Kai knife costs S$13.90.

Tangs and Isetan Scotts carry the Kai knife too. Cheap and good.

Wow, L-earner :drool: :drool:

I guess the store bought ones use food colouring whereas yours is all natural? :ugogirl:

Wow L-earner, your pandan bread looks heavenly. :drool: :drool:
How did you make your pandan juice? I pounded mine the other time, but the colour didn't turn out so green. It looked more yellowish instead.

Happy mama, I used blender, blend 15 pandan leaves (I ks, recipe says 10-12) with 50ml of water, then squeeze out the juice. Th raw juice v green, but after baking no so green, only achieve pale green.
