Don't think my Z-machine can bake until so nice. Anyone know where to get the same machine as Anna? Must go Malaysia?

It is not the machine, it is the way and method used. Also, the kneading duration is important to determine the fine texture. So far, Z has the best duration when I did a comparison with B, P, S, P machines etc....What button is available in the Z machine?

I have the basic bread with regular or firm option, soft bread & crust control is regular or light. Then, there is the Quick baking & French Bread. So which option should I select to have the soft & fluffy texture? I usually choose the soft bread thinking soft bread should give me soft & fluffy right? :?

However my friends advised me not to use the COSWAY recipe when baking the toast as the end result is not good. So, i am using other recipes and important is don dump everything into the machine and let it run till the end, you won get soft & fluffy bread. Normally i use the basic function, let the machine kneed the dough and after abt 1 hour proofing, i take out the dough (don off the machine) and press out the air, rest for 5 minutes, press out the air and roll it like swissroll. Put it back into the machine and let's the machine run till left 5 minutes and take out the bread. Hope this will help u.
Remark: Butter should add in after abt 10-15 minutes kneading.

Yes! Yes, that's what I do, dump everything inside & let the machine knead & proof & bake! :oops:
I don't have an oven so no choice have to rely on the machine to bake. If I still use machine to bake, can I still use the method you stated above? I don't know when the machine will starts the individual function as it only beep twice, one for adding other ingredient, the other when it's done.

Flowermonaster :

Interesting....how long did the softness last?

If it can last longer than the current method, then I will also re-start the process

Do you think, the wait of a few hours also a factor?
