1 1/2 lb. When cooking a 1 1/2 lb. loaf  in the 2 lb. zojirushi what are the kneading and cooking times when using the homemade settings?
The Zo Virtuoso Bread Machine recipe book lists recipes for Basic White Bread and Raisin Bread, 1 1/2 lb loaves along with 2 lb loaves, and both use the Regular Basic Course or the Quick Basic Course.-----Here is a breakdown of the Regular Basic Course from the recipe book (use Active Dry Yeast)Total cycle time 3:25 hr...
Zojirushi PAC 20 Arrived yesterday.  First loaf a disaster.  Bad operator and bad yeast and old flour. So today I try again. When exchanging part of the white flour with 1 cup of whole wheat flour do I use the basic white cycle or the whole wheat cycle?  Pumpernickel bread..what cycle? The recipes do not call for tepid...
The Zo bread machine has a warming cycle that runs for about 25 minutes before mixing starts. This warms up the ingredients. The whole wheat cycle is for 100% whole wheat. Part white and part wheat should run on the regular cycle.If you haven't worked with dough in a bread machine before, watch the video of dough knead...

How to convert bread machine recipe? I'm tempted to try this recipe: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/17760/gordon-family-cinnabon-cinnamon-rolls-clone-recipe. However, it calls for a bread machine.

Burst top after switching to new flour Hello,I have a Lakeland compact breadmaker which has been great since I've had it (3 months ish).I started using a fairly premium brand of flour to get the hang of it and tweaked the recipe to my liking..I've now started using Lidl flour which is about the 1/3 of the price and the...
Lidl Belbake? What is in your bread recipe, Steve, which flours? Which Lidl four are you using now, plain flour or bread flour? What does it say on the bag? %protein?
Low carb breads? As you should all know by now it's the carbs that make you fat and unhealthy, not fats. Also, all successful diets(diets as in eating, not "diet" diets) are low carb based.Now with that government thuggery out of the way, I was wondering if you could make this happen with a machine bread.By low carb I ...
Successful diets are ones which have variety. Carbs are important! Just eat correct carbs. No harm in incorporating bread in your diet. In fact Carbs and Protein work synergistically. It's the refined sugars you've got to be careful of. The white cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour etc. Homemade wholegrai...
Is Zojirushi or Breville worth it for dough only? Hi All,This is only my second post on this board, but I'm hoping somebody with bread machine experience can give me some advice.  I have an old Breadman that I've been using for as long as I've been making bread - I don't know exactly how old it is; I bought it at Goodw...
One word "Panasonic" The SD2500 or SD2501 are one and the same just that SD501 has a rye option and a dispenser for fruit etc.Very good make. Of course never as good as an oven but top range of the breadmakers.
Adding soy flour with whole wheat flour? It would be 400g of whole wheat and 100g of soy flour.In the Panasonic 2501 manual it states that:"Products milled from other grains are occasionally used in bread. i.e. corn meal, rice, millet,soy, oat, buckwheat and barley flours. These do not contain protein that form suffici...
that combo? No, but it should work. :)
Adding something other than flour? Can you get a good bread by adding something like this in the mix(100g of it with 400g of whole wheat flour)?
Gluten You can add pretty much anything you want to eat to your bread. The only issue will be the lack of gluten development. Whole wheat flour has less gluten than bread flour already, plus it has the bran which can cut gluten strands. Adding in a non-gluten protein source will dilute the gluten even more. If you use ...
Can you do very small breads? For example in Panasonic SD-YD250I'm trying to lower my carb intake to below 150g per day which means only 200g of this flour. So with seeds, butter, yeast, salt and water it would be about 400g of materials in the machine.Would this work and would you be able to get 4-6 slices out of that...
Also, is there other way to Also, is there other way to fluff the whole wheat bread besides powdered milk?I'm pretty sure I've become lactose intolerant.
Bread machine paddle has black streaky stuff Over the years I have gone through many breadmachines.  It seems the bucket and paddle get worn out.  Not too long ago I purchased a Breadman 1060S.  This model had a collapsable Paddle.  Now already too soon, I am finding black stuff around the paddle and in my bough.  Some...
Lubricant from paddle shaft? I experienced the same thing with my Sunbeam bread maker. Of course I stopped using it after that, hoping to find a cheap replacement pan. This was over 4 years ago. Never really bothered to look for a replacement. Just settled on mixing dough by hand.I always assumed it was some kind of lu...
Water temperature on delay cycle What kind of temperature do you have your water in the pan when using the overnight cycle? I usually use cold water as I assumed it would warm up to room temperature overnight. Would hot water cooling down overnight be better?
Cold is fine It will be room temp by the time the cycle starts and the yeast comes in contact with the water in the morning either way.

How does the dough appear when mixing? The mixing dough should look like uncooked canned biscuit dough. Not too dry and not too sticky. If it is too dry and crumbly during mixing it will make a dense loaf. You should monitor the first few minutes of mixing and kneading and add water or flour to make a dough you could k...

looking for a good toast recipe my current recipe for my bread machine is not the best for making toast when i have my coffee in the morning. my mother use to make homemade bread that was delicious toasted and even sandwiches but never got the recipe and i know it was all by hand.  but this is my recipe 1 cup warm wate...
I think the secret is... ...to add a sugar the yeast can't consume so that the bread browns better when toasted. Often things like powdered milk are added because yeast can't digest lactose so the available sugar can caramelise.
Would this be a good recipe? The goal is to make it as nutritionally complete as possible, the device used would be this:-500g whole wheat flour-dry yeast 2.5g-brown sugar 3g-butter 6g-iodized sea salt 3g-sunflower seeds 46g Please tell me what you think.
I think I don't see fluid So you should add water or something else to arrive at (to get an easy dough) 65-70% hydration (about 325-350 ml, depending on your flour, maybe a bit more).Also, you're going for 100% whole wheat which is not the easiest type of bread, if you haven't baked much before then I'd suggest going f...
King Arthur Flour Hello all.  I'm new to the bread machine world, really, baking in general.  I just got an Oster machine and have been using King Arthur bread flour, with recipes both from the instruction booklet and from The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook.  In every case, the mix is way too dry and I have to ad...
Weigh your ingredients No two people will fill a cup full of flour the same way. The cup may contain 4 oz of flour or it may contain 5 oz of flour. The only way to assure accuracy is to weigh the flour and liquids in the recipe.For bread machine recipes the total weight of all liquids (including eggs, water or milk, bu...

Rising too much? Made a "French" bread this weekend using the basic recipe in 300 Best Canadian Bread Machine Recipes. I cut back the salt a bit. The loaf rose so high it touched the inside top of the lid.Any ideas what I did wrong? I suspect I should have cut back the yeast when I cut back the salt.The bread was okay ...
Not sure, but... I think it is indeed the salt to yeast ratio. If you would like the bread a little less fluffier/high, as you said, cut back the yeast. Did you use any kind of fat? I suppose that if you added fat it would keep the bread a little softer (and I heard that if you added enough fat it would affect the heig...
Poolish and bread machine? Are there any rules or concerns about using a poolish in a bread machine? I thought of starting one, adding it to the liquid in a bread machine (to make the dough.... I want to bake it in the oven later).Thanks

Zojirushi Machine Whole Wheat keeps falling in the middle I have tried several recipes and they all seem to fall in the middle during baking. Being fairly new I am not sure what to do. I think I need to adjust the yeast or the salt but I am not sure what one to try first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We bough...
The loaf may be over proofing (over rising). This can cause the top of the loaf to cave in during baking. Try reducing the yeast by 1 teaspoon and see if it improves. Also, the Zo cookbook that comes with the bread machine includes ingredient weights in grams. I've found weighing the ingredients (or at least weigh the ...
New 2 lb Oster Bread maker suggestions Just got it and made a nice loaf of rasin bread. Raisens didn't mix in too good and many were on the bottom of the load. I guess I'll learn by trying. Is there an Oster bread site or is this the site for all the info? Thanks for any help you can share. Ron
Two things I would try Soak the raisins to plump them up. They are pretty dry out of the package. The plumper raisins are a little more sticky and will hold their position in the middle of the dough better.I've found I get more consistent loaves from my bread machine if I remove the dough after the last knockdown cycle...

Try baking it "properly", like instructions say you should. If it tastes better - you're probably better off doing it the way they say. If it doesn't - why bother?I do think that breads that have an actual proof (second rise) are better. I think you'll find that to be the case as well. Not to mention the longer ferment...

A crumbling crumb was due to A crumbling crumb was due to the excess acid present, in this case vinegar.

Fagor Bread Makers I had one of these given to me, after I got my oven (yeah!!!!) and thought I would at least try one loaf of bread in it, just to see if it works or not.  It came with a very lame instruction manual, including very basic recipes, but it is so incomplete that it just leaves one in the dark.  The contro...

Well, I went ahead and did a loaf in the Fagor machine.  And after the fact....it dawned on me....the EJECT light was probably letting me know...that if I was smart...I would at this point, take the dough out of the bread maker, and extract the kneading paddles before they get baked into the loaf...

Pita bread dough in a bread machine Has anyone successfully made pita bread in a bread machine.

Poor design!

Overproofed Kathleen, I'm sure your dough was overproofed. I never trust the kitchen timer or my eyeballing, but use the poke test to judge the proofing stage.

I agree with your assessment I agree with your assessment - that recipe seems very, very dry. Assuming 2.25 cups of flour weighs approximately 9.5625 oz (1 cup of flour=4.25 oz), and that the recipe calls for 4.1727 oz of water (the weight equivalent of 1/2 cup of water), that means your loaf has a hydration of a littl...

Why it works You are using Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast - yes?   Or are you using Active Dry Yeast.This is instant yeast and while it does not need to be dissolved in water prior to mixing - it is certainly not damaged by being disolved in water and given some time to get going and growing prior to the mix.The for...

Most bread machines recommend Most bread machines recommend instant yeast. Outside of a bread machine and doing things by hand, there is too little difference between active and instant to be concerned with. If you want to be concerned, instant is slightly more condensed, so you'd want to use ~ 25% -more- active if a r...

hey! a sushi/maki wrap! Interesting concept.  A sourdough would be right in line with a sour tang to it, wrapped around fillings and banded with a little sea weed or green onion.
sour dough bread in bread machine Any suggestions as to how to make sourdough in the bread machine?  Any recipes? Thanks
Do you have a starter? I haven't used a bread machine in a long time, but I don't see why you couldn't add your sourdough starter to the mix instead of yeast.  In general a cup of starter should be about right for a bread machine-sized loaf.  Make sure it's very active and well-fed before you put it in the machine.  Th...

Peanut butter bread? I used to have a peanut butter bread recipe for the bread machine and have misplaced it.  Looked up some on internet and so far they didn't seem the same as I remembered.  Think it used chunky and it was about 2/3 cup or more.  Any favorites out there?

Perfect Timing Bread & Dough Maker My Mom gave me her old West Bend Perfect Timing Bread and Doughmaker she got years ago.  I don't think it's been used very much.

Rustic loaf out of my Zorushi! Hi, A wonderful friend got a new Zo three months ago and kindly passed her perfectly good older model down to me. I have, since then, been learning how to use it. It's been about 20 years since I was a weekly baker so it took a while to get in the swing of things and to learn how to use t...
I had to look up zorushi. I had to look up zorushi.  More sophisticated bread machine, right?   Have fun with your new motivational tool!
Best BreadMaker What is the best brand bread making machine from the point of view: A) Features B) reliability C) warranty?   Any oppinion is appreciated :)
Re: Best Bread Maker You might want to search for the previous discussions on this topic - there have been several. IMHO for breadmakers there is Zojirushi, and there is everything else.  Zos are built like tanks, have all the features you need, and Zo actually sells spare parts (blades and buckets).  The only thing t...
Whole wheat flour substitution questions please. I have a Welbuilt bread machine and a recipe that has always worked wonderfully in the past. The bread machine only has 'french', 'sweet', 'white', and 'manual' modes. I would like to experiment with flavors. Therefore, I would like to substitue one cup of freshly ground...
I gave it an attempt. Ok... I did not get any answers so I went ahead and gave it a try. With out changing any of the recipe, I substituted one cup of freshly grounded whole wheat flour for one of the three cups of white flour. As the dough was being mixed, it appeared to be slightly wet. So, while it was still in it's...
Bagels in my Zojirushi I have the Zojirushi BBCC x20 I would like to make bagel dough in it, but I'm worried that with such a stiff dough I might damage my machine. I've seen several postings where people talk about making bagel dough in their machines but sadly no actual recipes or bagel-specific info. Would anyone be...
I think you'll be fine... My bread machine is not as good as a "Zo", but I think it would handle any of those recipes with NO problems I checked my 'bread-machine' recipes folder and I don't have anything on the computer concerning 'bagels', specifically, but lots of pretzel and high-percentage rye-flour doughs, which ...

Favorite Best-Ever Bread Machine Recipe for bread Baked IN the machine?

Colleague has "dry, crumbly" bread question I'm hoping someone with experience in using bread machines for kneading/fermenting dough before shaping & baking in oven might be able to help here.

Bread machines Hello im a new user just started making bread.

Bread Machine I am a loyal user of a bread machine and have been for years. I will admit that the only thing I use my bread machine for is kneading my dough. I bake my bread in the oven. But as a bread machine user I would like to have more control over the timing of my dough cycle. I would like to be able to program ...
Why do breads baked in the breadmaker have a different texture? This is my dilemma. We love homemade whole grain bread and LOVE the price of it versus artisan breads from the bakery. With kids and "life" making bread by scratch just doesn't happen like EVER even though I like it and have a knack for it. So, we bought a...
Just a guess. I don't own a bread machine so I haven't been able to do a comparison, but when baked in a machine, the dough would be able to rise to a certain dimension and no further, I gather.  Maybe, when you shape it by hand and put it into the oven to bake, it can do its own thing, that is, rise to its own height,...
Which of the 2 dough cycles? I am trying to follow a recipe (Eckhardt & Butts' pain au levain) that call for proccessing the ingredients "in the dough cycle" but my Zo mini has 2 dough cycles.

Need help - uneven loaf After making several conventional loaves in the bread machine, I've started to experiment using a starter.  Just a simple one - some flour and water and a bit of yeast that goes into the fridge for a day, bring it to room temperature and throw it in with the rest of the ingredients (subtracting ...
Maybe... Maybe the seeds are cutting up the gluten strands and making a weak dough. Stretching and folding works the best, but for a bread machine... Trying folding yourself than bake in the bread maker.
Up the creek with the paddle Since getting a bread machine for Christmas I have been gripped by the bread making bug. Although I now make most of my bread by hand, I do sometimes use the machine to make the odd sandwhich loaf if time is short.

paddle Machines differ, but with some it is possible to remove the paddle BEFORE baking. Ford
Publix 5 grain Italian bread Have been experimenting with trying to make an Italian 5 grain bread similiar to Publix Bakery.  Has anyone ever tried and succeeded? HELP!
Starting Point Never tried to duplicate that one but, considering a "slice" of bread weighs about 42 grams, and it appears that's what they base their reference to the bread's nutritional value on, my guess is they're using a flour with about 12% protein and fortifying their dough with about 2.5% fat and about 7% sugar...

Increase water little by Increase water little by little till you get desired result. More kneading wouldn't hurt anything. Enjoy!
Hydration and baking method? Could anybody help me to explain this: - when I bake bread in a bread machine the dough hydration can be max. around 60% (i.e. to create a compact ball; at least in my experience - otherwise the bread falls in the middle ad has "ears"). Some said it was because the space was small and there...
Making the leap from a Bread Machine zdenka, I remember being where you are now in bread making.

Sounds like a typo Ditch the manual, as far as recipes are concerned. Start with the bread machine recipes at kingarthuflour.com. Probably the most consistent and dependably reproducible recipes you are going to find(especially if you are able to weigh your ingredients). What make and model machine, by the way?
New Baker - still trying Hello All. I tried two breads this weekend with fairly good results.  The first one I made using Peter Reinhart's formula for whole wheat sandwich bread.  I may need to try that one again.  I didn't get a very good oven spring.  I tried it as a freestanding loaf, but think I'll put it in a loaf...
English Muffin Bread Loaf Freezes Well I've have made it for years, in a loaf pan. I've given it as gifts too.

New Baker's Second Loaf Hi Everyone! I am the proud mother of my second loaf this weekend.  I actually improved a bit due to your good suggestions and the info on the site.  In fact, when my husband tasted the second loaf he promptly threw the first loaf away.  I graduated from "good" to "very good."  I decided to make...
Good for you!!!! The best Good for you!!!! The best thing about all this is that bread is pretty forgiving!! My bomb loaves become duck food....I HAVE had them that even the ducks wouldn't eat!!! THAT was embarassing!! Keep us up to date!
Kalamata olive bread I want to use the "dough" setting to make this olive bread.  At what point in the cycle do I add olives so they are not chopped too fine?
Pretty much at the end I've done a kalamata loaf not in a machine, and I actually just knead in the olives when shaping, but if you kind of rough chop them and toss them in with a minute or two left on the final knead, they should be OK
NO salt ? Hi, I am new to the forum, and I've been trying to find something about using bread machine or other bread recipes, leaving OUT the salt !   I need a salt free diet , which is difficult in it's own, but every recipe calls for salt.....

Hah, I have to say, the bread Hah, I have to say, the bread is rising all the way to the top of the pan, inside the breadmaker ..,,,, it MUST have been the new yeast !!!
Can I use Wine Yeast to Make Bread I've been making some good bread wit a Breadmaker using some stock recipies that call for Active Dry Yeast.  I have used Yeast designed fro Bread. How would the results differ if I used Wine yeast instead?   Thanks
Taste Baker's yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide, which will cause the dough to rise.  From what I've read, there are different varities of wine yeast and its purpose is to convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. If you use whatever variety of wine yeast  you have on hand, you could wind up with an alcohol...
Bread Machine for Wheat or Rye Flour I am an experienced home bread baker who routinely bakes artisan breads, whole wheat, multi-grain, and SD rye breads.  I have successfully used my KA, Bosch Universal, or even my Cuisinart for all types of dough.   After reading King Arthur's Whole Grain cookbook, I was struck by th...
Bread Machine I having been using my Zo X20 to knead my dough because of a physical handicap.  I know that the machine takes a beating, because I have used up to 5-7 cups of flour.  I bring my SD preferment from the fridge and pour it into the pan immediately.  By doing it this way, the dough stays colder longer, and t...
Good Bread, But No Bread Smell I have two ABMs, and have made several varieties of good tasting bread in each. One big thing that is missing is that wonderful smell of fresh baking bread. Does anyone know what may cause that?   Thanks!
Bread machines? I'm not sure what you refer to as "ABMs" but am feeling you mean bread machines....  if so, I don't think they do allow many fumes out while baking.  I've used bread machines for several years and only use them to mix, knead and proof.  Then I shape into loaves or rolls, rise and bake in the regular ove...
Sourdough in breadmachine??? A friend of mine has an allergy and she has been baking her own irish soda loaves for a few months. She thinks though that using a breadmachine would save her time and is looking to buy one. She asked me for advice, on using sourdough in the breadmachine (which i would be providing). My fir...
I use the dough cycle and finish by hand, and in the oven. I scale my recipes to fit the machine, keeping the same % ratios. The problem is the long proofings. I own a earlier model Zo, and there is no way to extend the proofing steps to the times needed for sourdough; perhaps the newer machines can accomodate. I wonde...

It is sold in the US under It is sold in the US under the Elite Gourmet brand, model EBM-8103B. I found one brand new at a thrift shop two months ago for $14.

substitution for whole wheat bread flour I had adopted a recipe for manually making whole wheat sandwich buns into one that could be made partially in a bread machine.  The original recipe called for 7 - 8 cups of whole wheat flour so I cut the recipe in half in order to use my breadmaker.  I then found "Rogers Best fo...
re: sub for whole wheat bread flour Hi Gracey, Depending on where you live, you have some options.

how to avoid collapsing loaves? Greetings I've just bought my first bread machine 3 days ago. My first whole wheat loaf turned out sunk and too dense. During its third rise it went very high almost to the top of the pan, but 20min before baking cycle it began to sink. At the end of the baking it lost more than half its...
Your second attempt s... sounded petty good until reading that you decided not to stick with the WW program.  I think more things changed than overall timing; i.e. mixing time.    Too many recipe variables changed at the same time too.  Changing the salt within 1-2% will have little effect so change according to your t...
