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,

Naughty lah you :evil: :lol:

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.

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.

schweppes:

I decided to do a \"stock check\" on kai knife to report to bread buddies here. kekeke... :boogie:

that there will be stock on Thurs. When I send DS for class, will drop by there

schweppes:

For me, it came down to space constraints. The Z is more space saving. I think when deciding which one to buy, must also consider kitchen top space. I decided to leave the breadmachine out in the open to remind me to bake more often. If keep in the cupboards, will be a case of \"out of sight and out of mind\". Really depends on each individual's needs.

I also think that the z promoter was well-versed in product knowledge and did a good job in answering my questions sincerely. She wasn't trying to hard sell the product (sales prob also too good already lah). On the contrary, the s promoter was not very forthcoming. I had to prod her b4 she took the trouble to let me have a look at the manual.

I had actually left my home intending to purchase the s because I really believe its a good buy and value for money, but in the end got the z instead :lol: :lol:

LKVM:

Btw is there any kind kakis online right now to give the brand name of the bread flour, yeast, butter for the loaf in single post so that I can start buying

1. prima bread flour (thats what a few a are using)

I am asking this cause some one dont remember who said some kinda yeast whether it was instant or dry one need to mix with water.. hence my question.. must do it properly lah 1st time so to impress DH :P[/quote]Oh I see. I bought the yeast from PH, those small sachets in a box. I thought it's fresher this way as I have no confidence of buying the entire packet and transfering them into containers (afraid it will lose potency along the way)... and this time, I keep them in the fridge.

As for the yeast, you put them last. But you need to \"dig\" a hole and place the yeast there. They said salt cannot come in contact with yeast, so I spread my salt around the 4 corners... Oh yes, very important, yeast cannot touch water!

All the best to you, LKVM! :celebrate: :celebrate:

Cranberry loaf will be ready in 1 hour’s time. Smells good. I cannot wait for it to be ready. Yumm yumm! This time I can slice it professionally with my new knife (provided I’ve got the skills). The lady at Taka told me slicing bread needs 轻工.
