Club Breadmakers

[cherrygal]

Had one before… Princess brand i think… gave away coz I could never churn out soft bread like those sold outside despite using the best Canadian flour and bread improvers etc…

dear experts :salute: :salute: :salute:


i was directed here by peterch and autumnbronze.

would appreciate some advice on which breadmaker to get.

i have never baked bread in my entire life. So I am a newbie. Don't know why all of a sudden feel like making my own bread. :shock:

Is it true homemade bread is harder? Difficult to achieve the soft texture?

thank you!

[zeemimi]

Me no expert here. I bought my Zmachine a few mths ago & have never stop baking since then. I think all machine about the same. Z machine quite X but it's compact & juz nice for my micro kitchen.
2 things I dont like about the Z machine, (1) don't have a button for baking only (2) if I do a full cycle - kneading, proofing & baking, I have to wait until machine cools down before I can do another bread, this I can understand. What I don't is, I use the cookie dough option twice to knead my dough & I can't choose it the 3rd time, need to wait until it cools again! The cookie dough cycle took 13mins, twice only 26mins & the machine is already overheated?
You can achieve soft & fluffy bread with practice. I personally feel that using oven to bake is better than using bread machine to bake. You can control how long you want to do your 2nd proofing & also how brown u wanna your bread to be. Further more, you can bake buns & other fanciful bread instead of juz loaf bread.
I have not buy any commercial bread since I started baking.

Anyone bought from Parisilk before? Is it realiable agent?

Parisilk - the one at holland? Yes it is reliable. i got my vacuum cleaner there cheaper.

Anyone knows if Takashimaya sells bread machine too? still got some unused vouchers.

Parisilk is very reliable.

Yes, I do believe that Taka is selling the machine.

I am excited for you :rahrah:

autumnbronze,

i was just scanning through some of the earlier pages on this thread. Looks like the thread was very active a year back and lots of hype. And you are still here after more than a year. you must be the expert breadmaker now.

hmmm ... now i must see when i can get down to taka to take a look.
