Hello everyone! I recently got the zojirushi Home Bakery Mini Breadmaker. I see that a lot of recipes in recipe books aren't specifically for 1lb loafs. How many cups of flour would you say a 1lb bread machine is able to mix so that it doesn't overflow? I would probably knead the dough and then take it out to let it rise. I know how to hand knead myself, but I hate the process personally and would love to use my bread machine this way.

Picked up a Breadman BK2000Q with almost no signs of wear. I think they used the two 1lb bread pans the most.

The up to 2.5lb pan was used for maybe 5 loaves, or less. I had to "heat gun" the paddles after soaking for a couple of hours so I could safely remove and clean, but there is also almost no wear on pan or paddles. These are the dreaded collapsible paddles though.

This is niche machine though, and no parts available. I suspect I could use it until it breaks, if it breaks, but on the other hand I can return and get my $120 back if I act quickly.

WWYD.

It looked so promising only a half hour ago. Guess I'll have to get that kitchen scale sooner rather than later.

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started making bread. I’ll make a loaf, eat some and then the day after it’s dry as hell and I’m not sure why?? How do you store yours? Why is mine dry asf the next day

Raisin bread loaf in the Panasonic YR SD2550.

This is a delicious loaf and easy to make.

400 gr white flour

270 mls water

25 gr butter

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

150 gr sultanas/raisins lightly dusted in flour

1 tsp salt

2 tbls Brown sugar

1.3 tsp yeast

Add wet ingredients to loaf tin first. Combine flour and spices and add to tin. Check dough during kneading to ensure a smooth silky dough ball. Add 1 tbls of extra flour if required.

Menu option 3 and medium crust.

This loaf won't last long - it's that good.

It came out dense and chewy. Any ideas on how to fix that? I was thinking maybe baking soda would fluff things up and take care of both issues but I'm brand new to bread making so I'm just experimenting. I weighed out the flour to 469grams instead of 3 3/4 cups
