At any Cold Storage outlets.

Btw, your greenie cake mix is found at most CS too. Wanted to buy one box to try but dh said dont be so ambitious yet. :nunchuk: asked me to work on perfecting my bread recipes first :roll:

Okie, thanks.

Ehh, the Greenie pre-mix very easy to use lah ....

I brought some left over cake to granma-in-law's hse for the family to eat. It looked a bit dry from the refrigerator. So someone sprinkle a teeny weeny bit of water and heated it up in the toaster oven and the family had it with ice-cream. They said it was tasty

If you use it, just remember to add some milk to the icing mix so that its not too sweet and buttery (unless you like it to be that way).

okie... thanks for the tip, will def bear that in mind

[quote=\"jtoh\"]Which brand yeast do you use? And do you use active dry yeast or rapid yeast?


I'm a little confused as the manual says to use active dry yeast. But reading articles online say that active dry yeast needs to be proofed, ie you must dissolve the yeast before adding to the machine.

So do you just add active dry yeast to the bread machine as is?

Me too... am just as confused too. Currently, am using the Levure Seche de Boulanger Dry Baker's Yeast (made in France). It's a brown box. Am using it for the breads that i have baked (cranberry & raisin, cheese and choc breads).

Will prob stick with this brand as it's been working so far - with the exception of the cheese bread. :idea: But I think that's because there may not be enuf water for cheese bread.

You are using instant yeast, it is one of the famous one. Familiar name: SAF Instant and it is different from Active Dry Yeast, but you have to reduce the amount. I tried using 50% in my bread. The result would be in 20 minutes :D[/quote]My bottle says Fleischman Active Dry Yeast. But my Z machine didn't say to dissolve it first.

My bread seems too heavy because of the whipping cream i guess :?

Will cut it to see the texture later after it cooled down
