Don't mean to be a wet blanket. I would suggest that you test out your machine to make sure that it is functioning perfectly before you sell it. By testing, I mean baking a loaf and not just turning it on to see.

My Bluesky is about the same age as yours and like you, I have not baked a loaf for a while, only used it to knead and to proof the dough for my buns and when I tried to bake a loaf recently, all thanks to this thread, the power tripped, so my conclusion is that the baking element is spoilt and therefore it can ony be used as a machine to knead and to proof, it cannot bake anymore.

Sorry, no offence intended, merely sharing my experience.

Thanks for your suggestion. Shall try baking a loaf

Who knows, beeb, U might be reaquainted with your breadmachine again and decide not to sell

Autumnbronze,

to further your rise in your wholewheat bread, you may want to consider adding in crushed vitamin c tablets. I added 100mg tablets the last time i made them, and the rise is much better.
Do check out this website if your want your know more about ingredients aiding in the rise in your bread.

Okie. Am taking note of all your tips. How many tablets did you add? One of crushed 100mg??

:thankyou: :hugs:

ps: Can you pls post the link???

I just bought it! Looks huge and very fresh.

By the way, any reason why all of you recommend Prima bread flour? Any bad experience with PH Bread Flour? My first packet was Prima and subsequent was PH. Didn't notice any difference leh. :?

LKVM:

Do you directly add yeast or mix with anything before adding?

LKVM, the machine comes with a recipe book. So all you need to do is follow and dump in the ingredients in the sequence and press START. In 3.5hours time, you will get warm fresh home-made loaf.

Easy peasy!!

LKVM:

I think I should get my knife 1st before the machine then :idea:

LKVM:

Yeah lor wat if the knife's are gone

Have you thought of the other way round? What if you got your knife, but the Z's gone? Then how?

Don't forget there are lurkers in this thread, for all you know, the Zs might be flying off the shelves before you know it!

25hourmaid,

Huh? b2b3m4, this is very interesting. Will Vit C give a sourish taste? All the Vit C nutrients would have been gone once exposed to heat.. Any scientific reason behind this? :?

Thank you.
