Well i just got my breadmaker and i am in love...
it is a breville,
a few loaves have worked others no lol
and it is funny because i do the same recipe but sometimes it is dense, sometimes rises too high and other perfect... mmm
did pizza dough the other night and it was divine...
so what do you cook in your breadmaker?
Bread, pizza dough, cakes
ohh I want a breakmaker!!!!!
I have wanted one for 2 years now .. but its one of thise things that "can wait"
I'm a bit jealous!
Oh pizza dough, we have pizza every friday night, its a friend rituall actuall a group of friend have home made pizza every friday night so if we all get togeth we jus take the dough and toppings with us and have it at each others houses! great fun.
I also make bread sometimes haha Dh loves it
hope you enjoy!! :)
i know - we were the same - couldnt convince DH it would be worthwhile buying... and then we were given one by a lovely lady!:
it is great..
cakes... what cakes?????????????,,, intrigued
Pizza dough, Brioche dough, Fruit loaf, Pull aparts etc
You can also make Jams too so don't forget that (providing you have the jam setting.
I have just made packet cakes in it. lol Im a lousy cook
Mine has a cake setting but set them to light crust or they have a tendancy to go too brown
i dont think i have a jam or cake setting *sob*
I make pizza dough, wholemeal bread, pull aparts, and I make pretzel dough.... and dough for bread rolls etc... I love having a dough setting so the machine does the hard work and all I have to do is roll it out and play ;)
lol trust me you don't need it the hot bread and piles of butter are enough!
isnt it great christy - so much easier than kneeding yourself ...
can someone post a pull a part recipe for me.
Future- Dh said to me.. we are going to get so fat... cause i cut it so thick ! lol! so a loaf lasts a day haha. i should get a cutting guide...
Yeah we got a cutting guide trouble is it smells so yummy baking so you just cut yourself more slices!
Just bread and pizza dough so far here. Might try the jam setting when we have an overload of fruit. Always mean to do a pull apart, but never get around to it.
How much did it cost futuremum?
I just for the first time used the dough setting and baked the bread in my oven- texture wasn't quite as good as in the breadmaker, but I think that's because I didn't let it proof long enough. Or maybe I didn't do the second kneading long enough?
But I have a question- now my bread pan is all sticky with dough, and it looks like hell to clean. So far I've just put hot water in and hoped soaking would help. Any clues??
The cutting guide? I honestly can't remember sorry. My DH bought it, shouldn't bee too expensive though?
I have a cutting guide from breville I think it was about $40 maybe less.
With the pull apart, just use normal bread dough (with the dough setting), then roll it out flat, then put whatever fillings you like on the dough, roll it into a sausage then cut scrolls off, then what I do is pack the scrolls together (like little buns so it makes like a big round bun). You can do them anyway you like. You can even pack the little scrolls together into a loaf tin and bake it that way.
thanks Rouge ... sounds yummy... might give it a go next weekend~
Ok TROUBLESHOOTING>.. help!
If you use packet mix (premade)... do you use the Volumes on the packet or from your machines booklet?
How do i get the mixer arm out from the bottom of the pan?
- i have soaked, scraped and cant get it loose! it still turns fine but should be able to pull it out?
HOw do you store your bread after baking so it stays yummy and fresh?
If you dont have a guide (Like me) - any tips of cutting thinish pieces?
i do a medium sized loaf (750gm) and it never rises above the pan.. is this how yours is?[/COLOR]
thanks lol~

I used to buy packets whose values were close to what we were supposed to be using, and some of the premade packets actually will say which bread maker they go with. DH actually insists on measuring the recipe books quantities.

HOw do you store your bread after baking so it stays yummy and fresh? in a brown paper bag. But we usually slice it & put it in the fridge for eggy toast if we don't eat it in the day.
If you dont have a guide (Like me) - any tips of cutting thinish pieces? an electric carving knife.

pp i get my bread from 'you can bake it' as they have a shop near me, i also have the breville one and cant get the blade out either!! i end up using tweezers to get the bread out from around it!
i dont have problems with it rising, are you using enough yeast??
thanks Christy and jols ! :)
i have used both the recipe book and the recipe on the premade boxes and they rise about the same so maybe that is how big it is then?
it isnt doughy or anything.
might have to look into an electric carving knife.... mmmmm and some paper bags loL!
I store mine wrapped up in a clean tea towel, which keeps it fresh, but doesn't make it soggy like plastic would.
