Trapwithin, lovely loaf of bread there and the colour looks perfectly golden !


chinghsi, my 2cents worth regarding not-soft-enough-very-hard-next-day bread : usually this is a sign that gluten development is not sufficient (not enough \"air\" in the bread) or under-baked/too much moisture so the moisture spread to the rest of the bread the next day. My 2cents suggestions are :

(1) Try the exact same cycle and recipe using hi-protein flour. My guess you are using the brand 'origins'. This brand also has a hi-protein flour at the bigger stores eg. Finess. Hi-protein flour is more equivalent to bread flour and should yield better rising hence softer bread.

(2) If you like the super-fluffy ala Japanese bread like, explore the water-roux method. You can add the cold dough into your bread machine on baking day. Do a goggle you will find plenty of information.

Have fun baking!

Hello,


I’m newbie and would like to join the club too

For my contribution, for fast and easy bread in the morning is chapati:
- 1 cup of wholewheat
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- Hot water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Stir together the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the olive oil and hot water bit by bit until the dough is elastic but not sticky. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. Roll each piece into a ball. Let rest for a few minutes.

Then roll out the balls of dough until very thin. Then, warm up a bit of oil in frying pan, and fry the chapati. Cook until the underside has brown spots, about 30 seconds, then flip and cook on the other side.

Use as wraps for eggs, tomato, lettuce, and sardines / tuna. Perfect for lunch too…

Hi, thanks for the advice. Yes, I was using \"Origins\", have also bought \"Dr Grams\", but have not used that yet. I have tried the high protein flour from \"Origins\", and it turned out really well! I have also tried 2 kinds of Yeast, the Active Dried Yeast and Instant Yeast. Seems like Instant Yeast is giving me a fluffier bread. Not sure if you guys use that too? Also, I tried to go through an extra cycle of kneading and rising (through the dough kneading function) as done by some of you here. The result was very encouraging! Thanks!
