:thankyou: everyone for your tips, suggestions and recommendations about the bread knife.


Alas, I log into this thread 2 days late. I had bought a bread knife from cold storage - don't think it's the kai brand and it cost me $24.90 !!! :stompfeet:

If i had known earlier ..

WCW, wow really ! That shows how old my Breville is ! Your lao shi from breadmaking class ?


LLX04, store-bought bread more preservatives so stay soft and moist longer. Try steaming your bread on day 2 to see if it helps, else try to finish the loaf within 1 day.

Taste good and smell wonderfully, only setback is the appearance :sad: it doesnt turn out lustre green like store bought ones ... as u can see from the pic, it's pale green ... ...

Looks delish! I'm sure it tastes even better.

:love: tks jtoh! Yes, its v gd ... I'll bake w this recipe more often.

For those interested in getting the Baby Z bread machine, do look out for the OG promotion. So far, I think the retail price is the lowest - I think about $250 (can't remember the actual amt) as long as you purchase another item for $50. So if u need to buy something anyway, get it from OG to enjoy great savings on the Baby Z.


Was at the Tangs members' sale yesterday and the Baby Z is retailing at $388 :yikes: (and that is supposed to be the offer price :faint: ). The original price is abt $488. :yikes:

[quote=\"Village Girl\"]I made the first bread using the z breadmaker. Tried the soft mode, honey bread. My colleage said taste like 'huat kuey'. hahah.

oh, but taste nice :?

congrats on your 1st loaf :rahrah: . i also want to know like 'huat kuey' means good right?? post pic for us to see ... [/quote]Hi L-Earner, huat kuey texture is abit sticky and wet...not like the soft white bread. Not sure is beacuse of the honey.

I plan to try white bread (regular or firm) tonight. Will update texture tomorrow.

Anyone use other recipes besides the recipes book given by z? I have a bread recipe book but worried the z machine is too small....haa

Been quite a few mths since I last used my Z. Took it out yesterday to make some pizza dough. I wanted thin crust so I followed the Z recipe and divided it into 2 to get a thin crust as per instruction. But in the end I still got bread like base instead of the thin crust.


The pizza looked and smelled great. But when we cut into it, the centre was soggy. It was a disappointment. I thougt I did not bake it long enough so for the 2nd pizza, I baked it longer but the end result was only slightly better. Wonder what went wrong? Am I suppose to prebake the crust before putting all the toppings?
