Question: Anyone else having issues with bread not rising? I use bread flour and fresh yeast... tried about 5 times and the recipe I am using I have used before
Document: This is a great bread machine. I borrowed a white bread recipe from someone online and adapted it slightly, and it is always perfect. For anyone who is discouraged with making a good loaf, try this. Put one cup of warm water, 1 pkg of yeast, and 2 tablespoons of white sugar into the machine. Let it dissolve and sit in the machine for ten minutes. Then, add 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup of cooking oil.
), and have virtually perfected the recipe for the Breadman. I used to make a 2 lb loaf, and did that in the Breadman a few times but the pan is short and high and the slices are really too high for my toaster. So, now I cut down on the ingredients and use the 1.5 lb cycle and the bread is toaster-friendly. It actually comes out weighing about 1 lb. 14 oz.
We use this for both just mixing dough and baking bread. The timer function works great to have dough ready for a pizza dinner or fresh bread ready in the morning. This makes making bread dough a matter of measuring water, salt, yeast and flour. The result is a lot cheaper than bakery bread and often a lot better. You can use the dough cycle if you want baguettes or some shape other than a traditional sandwich loaf.
Have owned the Breadman for more than five years, making amazing bread and/or pizza dough 2 to 3 times a week.I LOVE this machine!The delay start allows you to wake up to the smell of fresh cinnamon raisin bread in the morning or come home to a house filled with the aroma of cheesy onion bread. Sadly, after 5 years of hard use, the rubber gasket where the paddle rod attaches no longer seals, and I cannot seem to find a replacement pan.
Ive had this bread maker for 2 years now and I love it. I use it every single week to make whole wheat bread. Ive also used it for about 10-15 other of the 90 recipes it comes with and all of them are awesome, especially rosemary garlic (WOW)! I hands down recommend this machine to anyone who wants to start making homemade bread. This machine is EASY and takes only 5-10 min to add everything into the machine, then just hit START and walk away.
I bought this unit in July of 2010, because I wanted a gluten free cycle. It never baked a loaf of bread right, and after a dozen tries I gave up. I tried again early this year, using regular gluten recipes and no matter whose recipe I used, it was a flop. Even my sister's favorite recipe she made in her breadmaker for years flopped. And I am a bread baker, I can make lots by hand, and do!I contacted the manufacturer, Breadman.
Tip #8: Use unsalted butter when butter is called for in a recipe, if possible. The salt content of butter can vary a lot between brands and batches, so using unsalted and controlling salt by your own measurement helps get you more consistent. Also remember that salt attenuates yeast (it slows it down), so if you over-salt, your loaf may not rise completely before baking.
Purchased this bread maker for my wife at the recommendation of a friend. Works great and I'm reaping the rewards of fresh baked bread. We haven't tried much else with it but we're very pleased.
Easy instructions, easy to use, easy to clean. Use proper flour. I used an old breadmaker recipe from home that was sweet bread and it worked great. Quiet unit. Haven't had a bad loaf.
The bread machine wouldn't turn back on (well, you'd have tried it too) and hummed pathetically; the screen flickered feebly. So I put it out of its misery. Did I use it too much for a residential product? It was used 90-120 times-ish, by my calculations. The scary thing is, I don't know if I trust any of the other brands any more than this (Consumer Reports liked them, that's why I chose it) so I may just buy another one.
Answer: Perhaps you are warming up the liquids too much? Yeast will be killed in hot water/milk. What kind of yeast are you using? Fresh cake or dry active? Test yeast: mix a spoon of yeast with a 1/2 cup of warm milk and a spoon of sugar and let it stand in room temperature for about 1/2 hour. If it does not foam and double its volume, it's no good.
