Was pointed to this link by ksi. Didn't know the thread has 600 over pages :faint: .

Think will slowly read through all your sharings and tips.

hopefully will be joining you all soon in the discussion but first, I must get a breadmaker first. :rubhands:

:welcome: Fightingmom! :rahrah: When you getting your bread machine?

Have to read up which brand is good and also must compare price. Need to get \"clearance\" from DH first.

Any recommendation , flower ?

I am using the Z brand machine as my kitchen is very small. The Z machine size is great. What I think lacking in the Z Machine is the button for just bake only. The rest of the functions are alright but the price a bit steep. Oh one more thing, if you use the cookie dough function for 2 cycles you will need to wait for the machine to cool down for about 20mins before you can select another function.
My friend is using Cosway bread machine think was less than $200 bought from Malaysia.

I wonder if anyone uses panasonic breadmaker? A friend of mine in the UK swears by it, and she said she’s tried other breadmaker… but suffice to say that after her husband took the first bite from the first bread from panasonic, his comments were "it was worth the extra 50 pounds!! (they paid for it).


Oh… can someone share with me a sweet bun recipe?

Hi,


This thread is hot! Anyone can advise whether can use mixer to do bread? As can knead the dough with the mixer and oven to bake?

If yes, kindly recommend what brand and model u are using?

Thanks!

I have a Philips brand mixer. It says can do cake mixes and bread doughs. However, having used it once to make a bread dough, I thought the mixer sounded overworked - the cake mix is liquid form, while the bread dough is, DOUGH! That being said, I suppose those heavy duty ones like Kitchen Aid and Kenwood should be able to deal with the doughs?

Do you know where I can buy that Panasonic bread maker? Is it available in SG already?

I have this recipe originally from my old z machine but I've modified it alittle and it works with all breadmachine. Put the ingredients according to the sequence of your machine.


This is a sweet bun recipe for dough setting only.

300ml water or UHT milk (always use UHT, if using fresh milk, pls heat up first then cool to use)
4 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
50g butter, unsalted (if salted, pls omit salt)
3 1/2 cups Bread flour
3 tbsp non fat milk powder (eg. anlene or equivalent, omit if using liquid milk)
1 tsp yeast

Remove from pan, round, rest 10mins, divide, round, rest 10 mins and shape. Let it prove for another 1hr or when dough becomes 2x it's size. Bake in oven 200 C for 12 mins.

But mostly mixer that is good is Bosch and Kenwood is that right? Also if the watt is high enough, it should be abe to handle bread dough, but not sure how true.


Cos I didn’t want to get a mixer as well as a bread maker! Thought of combining the 2 function into one.

Mom22: Urm… I’m a novice, but from my previous research and reading, these are the combination of equipment you would need for breadmaking:


Option 1: ONLY breadmaker - it mixes, kneads, bakes. It’s a real gem because all you need to do is measure and put in all the ingrediants, and then select the function required - e.g. Whitebread. The next time you will see it is when everything is done! Loaf breads, jams, cakes, etc - depending on model.

Option 2: Breadmaker + Oven - so you get to do all of the above, plus shaping your dough into whatever shape/size you like.

Option 3: Mixer (to mix the dough, plus some hand kneading may be required) + Oven for the baking.

I am part lazy and part very lucky (to have inherited an old breadmaker)… so mostly been making loaf bread. Does this answer your question?
