Replacing butter with flax seed meal
I have been trying to replace the butter in a whole grain bread recipe with a sufficient amount of flax seed (1 tablesppon of butter to 3 of flax seed).

It's hardly surprising, since you are replacing butter which adds moisture with flax seed meal, which takes it away. Flax seeds absorb about three times their own weigh of water, and the meal is probably no different, so I suggest you increase water to a full cup. |

Resolved: Bread machine problem. I think it's the yeast

A little bit of education goes a long way. You don't have to spend a lot of money either. Try your local library. Used bread machine cook books on Ebay are cheap as well. Thrift stores are another place to look for used books. Simple is best to start with, even when using a bread machine! |
why does my bread not rise properly?

I was using bread machine so many years ago but I remember having similar problems.

Butter or Olive Oil?
The recipe for a 50/50 white/brown loaf using my Panasonic bread maker suggests using 15G of butter for a medium sized loaf. I would prefer to use olive oil instead. Should I replace the butter with 15ml of olive oil or increase the amount of oil? | When using olive oil instead of butter

Texture of rye flour dough in bread machine
Hi everyone, new poster here, love the website I find it very helpful!
I bought a used bread machine a few months back and I'm having so much fun with it. I learn something new with everything I make! But I was hoping for some advice on breads using rye flour.
I've gotten... | Rye
Rye flour is completely different than wheat flour. Rye has a higher water absorption, ferments faster, and needs gentle and short mixing.
I'm not sure if a dough high in rye is appropriate for a bread machine since you have so little control over the mixing process.
It's also quite sticky. |

Hi all, decided to go 'off-manual' with my Panasonic today and use a book recipe (designed for bread machines). The loaf has sunk badly at one end. Any ideas why?Imgur | Over proofed?
