be able to I found out that my brother has "inherited" my mother's kenwood chef, so I'm on the lookout for one Geoff, Do a search on Fleabay for Vintage Kenwood, there are loads. Hands are good for dough, just more tiring, but this *is* a D.I.Y. group..... Make a paddle and use the power drill in a bucket LOL! |

For me, I did have a fling with bread-maker and it was fun and quite nice. Very much depended on exact flour and recipe - small differences had quite an effect - but under-kneading never seemed to be an issue. Partner had to give up bread so have now abandoned making at all. (Not very nice to fill house with baking bread smell when someone will be ill if they eat it.) But before giving up, I did re-visit what I used to do many years ago - overnight rise in refrigerator then oven rather than bread-maker. And I looked around the internet for ideas. Realised that long, slow rises were being highly regarded by quite a section of the community. The smell of bread-maker can be overwhelming. As can the in-store bakeries in supermarkets. That all seems to come from the fast rise and disproportionately huge amounts of yeast used. Slow rise smells much nicer. And, to get to the point, quite a number of slow, cool rise approaches suggest reduced, or even no, kneading. That is where I would be - if bread-making were continuing here. Also works better with lower-gluten flours which can allow a greater variety of breads to be produced. -- Rod |

If it's something like Coeliac Disease, can you make suitable bread? It is somewhat more complicated than that - has had negative test for CD. I have tried making some and, in my view, it is not worth it. Results not good enough and does not get round the underlying issues. But it is a worthwhile approach for quite a number. Thanks for suggesting. -- rod |

For me, I did have a fling with bread-maker and it was fun and quite nice. And leaves the bought bread for dead. Its actually rather more convenient than buying it too, even tho I have a bread shop just around the corner in very easy walking distance. Less work to weigh the mix, water and yeast into the bread machine tin than to walk to the bread shop and back and the bread is much better from the machine too. Very much depended on exact flour and recipe - small differences had quite an effect I just use the mix in the very large sacks. - but under-kneading never seemed to be an issue. Yeah, its never been for me, or for any of those I have got bread machines for from the garage/yard sales. Partner had to give up bread so have now abandoned making at all. (Not very nice to fill house with baking bread smell when someone will be ill if they eat it.) But before giving up, I did re-visit what I used to do many years ago - overnight rise in refrigerator then oven rather than bread-maker. And I looked around the internet for ideas. Realised that long, slow rises were being highly regarded by quite a section of the community. Cant be bothered myself, the machine is so easy. The smell of bread-maker can be overwhelming. Yeah, the obscenely obese fella who got me into bread machines has been know to gorge on the whole loaf fresh out of the machine. But he does that with cream cakes from the cake shop too. As can the in-store bakeries in supermarkets. That all seems to come from the fast rise and is proportionately huge amounts of yeast used. Slow rise smells much nicer. Cant say I have noticed that effect myself, but then the bakerys in the supermarkets arent that overwhelming smell wise here. And, to get to the point, quite a number of slow, cool rise approaches suggest reduced, or even no, kneading. That is where I would be - if bread-making were continuing here. One of the fellas I infected with the bread machine disease and the beer brewing disease, was into experimenting with the detail of the bread machine programmable programs and did get quite a bit more of what he preferred bread wise, but he's into conventional white bread and like the very crisp crust style that the french are into. I'm into whole grain bread myself and have settled on a hybrid of a couple of the best bread mixes that gives me quite a solid loaf in the german style. Also works better with lower-gluten flours which can allow a greater variety of breads to be produced. |

I use 100 g of Laucke's German Grain Bread and 400g of their Multigrain and get no cakey effect at all. 100% of their German Grain Bread is too solid for my taste and nothing even remotely like cakey. |

If you don't really care then that's probably Ok for you. - but under-kneading never seemed to be an issue. Yeah, its never been for me, or for any of those I have got bread machines for from the garage/yard sales. Partner had to give up bread so have now abandoned making at all. (Not very nice to fill house with baking bread smell when someone will be ill if they eat it.) But before giving up, I did re-visit what I used to do many years ago - overnight rise in refrigerator then oven rather than bread-maker. And I looked around the internet for ideas. Realised that long, slow rises were being highly regarded by quite a section of the community. Cant be bothered myself, Good for you. The smell of bread-maker can be overwhelming. Yeah, the obscenely obese fella who got me into bread machines has been know to gorge on the whole loaf fresh out of the machine. That's you, that is. But he does that with cream cakes from the cake shop too. Please stop talking about yourself. As can the in-store bakeries in supermarkets. That all seems to come from the fast rise and is proportionately huge amounts of yeast used. Slow rise smells much nicer. Cant say I have noticed that effect myself, but then the bakerys All this fresh bread has done nothing for your brain. |

Less work to weigh the mix, water and yeast into the bread machine tin than to walk to the bread shop and back and You need more exercise then you might find the walking easier. As usual, you never do have a ****ing clue. I walk for a couple of HOURS daily, ****wit. the bread is much better from the machine too. Not if you want it now. Doesn't happen with the bread shop, but that's because I want the sort of bread that he doesn't sell a lot of and its perfectly possible to show up at the bread shop and have the bugger say that it isnt ready yet. MUCH easier to set an alarm in the PC that runs all the time and have the bread ALWAYS ready to eat when I want to eat it instead. Very much depended on exact flour and recipe - small differences had quite an effect I just use the mix in the very large sacks. If you don't really care then that's probably Ok for you. I do really care and its much better than farting around doing it by hand and leave the crap from the bread shop for dead. That bread shops and supermarket bakerys need to make for commercial reasons are nothing like what I want. reams of your puerile **** any 2 year old could leave for dead flushed where it belongs |
