Bread Maker

[kaytee]

I just got myself a Kenwood Breadmaker and wonder if anyone one of you would be kind enough to give me some tips or maybe even some recipes.

Im more interested in those health breads like whole meal or fruit flavoured loaf.

Tks

Your breadmaker should come with a recipe book - something is wrong if you don't have one in the set.

Do note that the sequence of adding the ingredients is important for bread-makers. At first follow the measurements strictly. Once comfortable, you may modify the ingredients or settings. For example, I prefer the settings for whole-meal bread and used it even for white bread and I got better results.

Do note that there is a timer setting, hence you can put in all the ingredients, set the timer to ensure that the bread is ready when you wake up and leave it to the machine to work while you sleep. Get piping hot loaf of bread in the morning.

It seems there are packaged breadmaker flour-mixes available in Singapore in most supermarkets. They have a good variety of nuts, fruits and flavoured types. I have yet to see any here, but maybe i haven't been going around the right places? There are lots of breadmaker recipes in the internet, just do a search.
one link to check out
Happy baking

Well, the reason why the bread is hard on the following day is bcos for home-made bread we dun put softener like the commercial one... So it is normal for ur bread to turn hard on the next day...

which is good for making toast!

Hi, I just bought a kenwood breadmaker yesterday too. I bought this bread mix from cold storage at S.Parade. I tried this mix out and the bread turned out perfect!! The bread mix is italian herb from Krusteaz. It cost about $9.99 per box. I'm gonna look for and try out some more recepies.
From what I've been reading about baking the perfect bread with the bread maker, the correct amount of ingredients is very important and also where you set up the breadmaker. Because the room temperature will effect the rise of the dough..i.e..in a draughty or warm kitchen....
