[quote=\"Twins\"]Sigh, I'm so sad. I've just re-started my bread baking with my almost-becoming white elephant Severin tonight and dough had risen to a beautiful height and then I think it went \"kapoom\" when baking process started!!


Unfortunately , I dozed off and woke up to my alarm at 1230am so didnt realise that had happened until I opened the cover and the beautiful dough hill came tumbling down !!

I've now placed it in the oven with no idea how long to bake it for. 15 minutes on, and the crust is turning \"chao dar\"!! So lowered the temp to 140 degrees Celsius and have no idea if the inside is \"cooking\"....

I've been reading this thread and seems very true now that the bread maker must be constantly used!!

Mine's just over a year and half old only!! I used less than 10 times but must also say that I haven't used for a year too....

Sigh sigh sigh....

Oh dear, Twins. Did u manage to save your bread? :xedfingers:

Hi Schweppes

Thankfully, and thank God! I did! Apart from the top crust, the rest was quite edible and soft too.

So, yeah! I now learnt that the flour brand and type used does make a difference in texture of bread. I used Prima Bread flour (learnt it from this thread!!) and I think that's what makes the bread softer than other brands, since it's made in Singapore and made for what Singaporeans are used to.

Thanks to all you much-more-experienced bakers.... It's bcos of this thread that I took the elephant out of the cupboard. :celebrate:

Now gotta call the service centre and find out if it's even serviceable, and how much repair will cost!!

BTW, how to post a picture ah? Dont see anything I can click on to attach a pic. Would like to put my near-disaster bread pic on for fun!![/quote]That's good to hear that! :rahrah:

you can click on ADD IMAGE TO POST in blue and thereafter, choose the pics to upload.
anxious to see your chao dar but soft fluffy bread!

oh dear! did you manage to salvage your bread?
Well, that's a good excuse to get that kawai z machine!

Hi TwinkleJoy

yah I did...(if you saw my reply to Schweppes a while ago). Thank goodness for that!

I cant remember how much I paid for the S. Wanted to ask you .... how much did you pay and was it from Taka, like where I bought mine?

Need to know my extent of wallet pain if not repairable.... ahhh ... :stupid:

I'm just eating a slice of the brad now .... not bad, far less chewy than my earlier attempts a year ago. Must be due to the flour.

Bcos of the machine-breakdown, looks like choc chip bread for the kids will have to wait a bit....[/quote]bought from courts, 188 bucks. saw Taka selling at 179 wor :stupid:

[twinklejoy]

It looks ok. Just a little deflated maybe because of the machine disaster. But important thing is it tastes good.

Maybe try a sharper cheese? Parmesan's sharper than cheddar. And add more?

Just couple of days back I think there was another lady trying to sell her bluesky machine on KSP for 25 dollars.. u wanna contact her?

I saw it...but with so many of these machines going kaput (latest is Twins'), I'm not so sure about getting one that had been in storage....

U think it looks deflated?? Hmm, maybe bcos it's a small loaf I chose, plus the top chao dar slice I discarded and I ate one slice by the time the loaf pic was taken, so it looks kinda short!! :lol:
