I just brought my mom's bread machine home tonight and am going to attempt to make a loaf of bread! I have never used it, she made many bread recipes in it. I think she got it in the early 90s?? Pretty sure it was after I was married, ('91) but not 100% sure. The bread machine hasn't been used in a very long time!!! Thanks for this video!
That's so exciting, @mickimc2883! Venturing into bread-making with your mom's bread machine sounds like a wonderful way to connect with her baking legacy. Those machines from the early '90s were built to last, so you're in for a treat. Can't wait to hear how your first loaf turns out. Happy baking! 🍞
Outstanding video, thank you. I am new to making bread. I want to bake my rye bread outside of the bread machine. At what point should I remove the dough from the bread machine? Before or after the proofing/rising cycles? If I should remove it before the proofing cycle, will I then need to proof it outside of the bread machine? Thanks for your patience with this amateur bread maker.
I'm thrilled to hear you're starting your bread-making journey! For rye bread, remove the dough from the bread machine after the kneading cycle and before it starts to proof. Then, shape your dough and let it proof in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Once proofed, bake it in the oven following your recipe’s temperature and time guidelines.
Oh man, my bread maker just gave up on me, so I've been turning to the oven a lot more these days. Honestly, I'm still on the fence about which method I prefer. It's been quite the adventure!
🍞👨🍳 Wow, this video is a must-watch for anyone new to using a bread machine! The tips are practical and informative, and will definitely help beginners achieve great results in their bread-making. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼👏🏼
I am removing the paddle, but I am not taking the dough out, just move it aside I go with my hand underneath. Hand needs to be greasy with oil for preventing sticking.
Bread machines are best for yeast doughs, but many have 'quick bread' or 'cake' settings that work for baking powder recipes. Just check your manual. Keep in mind, the texture might vary from oven baking, but it's worth experimenting!
What are paddles? What is proofing? The bread maxhine mixes the dough too? lol, this was not basic enough for me.... I will have to watch more vids, because I have more questions.
Paddles in a bread machine are just the little mixing blades at the bottom that knead your dough. And proofing, that's when you let the dough rest and rise before baking. It's all about giving the yeast time to work its magic, making the bread fluffy and delicious!
The paddle is a small thing at the bottom of the machine, it just mixes the ingredients into dough. Proofing is putting your yeast into a little bit of water and sugar. It'll fizz and foam up. This is "proof" the yeast is good. I't's not usually necessary. Some people never proof their yeast. Just check the expiration date on the packet.
Doesn't matter whether you get an upright bread machine or landscape one is the bread still gonna come out taller than the normal bread that you buy in the store
As a machine user for many years, I disagree with two important points of the videos advice. I viewed less than half the entire clip. 1. Baking bread is much easier than baking a cake, for example. Bread recipes are very forgiving. If one is not precise in measuring, he or she will probably still get a good loaf of bread. Also, correcting the amount of water or flour can be done during the mixing, if the dough appears too dry or too wet. After a bit of experience is gained, the needed correction will be apparent. 2. Manufacturers do not recommend removing the paddle after the last knead, probably because the paddle partly convers the spindle and protects it somewhat from the hot, wet environment during baking. I go ever further. After the last knead is completed. I remove the dough ball and allow the final rising and baking to take place in a lightly oiled loaf pan in my oven-broiler. I let it rise for about an hour; then bake it for 40 -45 minutes at about 350 deg F. Be careful to position the loaf pan between the heating element on the lowest support of the rack. By not using the machine to bake, one still has a kneader and a computer do do the muscle and brainwork. The spindle will not rust in its bearings from the heat and humitdy otherwise. I have the most inexpensive bread machine I could buy. I don't believe that the more expensive machines will not suffer from the rusting spindle and bearing problem in a couple of years.
Okay, except every recipe I've seen says to have your liquids (water, milk) at 110º-115º, not room temperature. Your yeast won't work if your liquids are room temp.
@@ChrisTine-ou7nz Ya know, I've been experimenting with a custom recipe for a couple months now. I'm now of the opinion that a lot of these "rules" like 115º water are really just "that's how we always did it" with no rational basis. In my circa 1995 bread machine I put the liquids in first, right? Even if they're 115 when I put them in, they sure aren't still 115 after I put the flour in. And the yeast goes in last and it rises just fine.
The tips are so basic. I think you forgot a few. Make sure you pay your electric bill so you have electricity to power the bread maker. When cutting your bread make sure you use a bread knife instead of a butter knife. If the recipe calls for an egg, dont kust toss the entire egg into the bread maker. Make sure you crack the egg, separate the shell enough as to pour the contents of the egg, the white and the yoke, into the bread maker according to the directions. Then doscard the egg shell into the waste basket. This way you won't have egg shells in your bread.
I’ve tried everything. Do you have a recipe? Every loaf I make is too heavy and does not taste like something from the bakery? I just want something to make sandwiches with.
Yes, removing the paddles before the mixing is finished isn't advisable. It's better to do it after they're no longer needed. And you're right, using packet mixes isn't a must; it all comes down to personal preference.
I agree dumping ingredients is no harder than dumping a packet mix …especially if you have to add ingredients to the packet mix!!! I remove the paddles-bread is fine. On occasions where I have forgotten to remove the paddles, bread looks & tastes exactly like the loaves where I removed the paddles. Only difference is visual.

I’ve had one for years and dearly love it. I’ve tried making it the other way and once in a while it turns out but not very often.
I never bake my bread in the machine.

@@FoodHow I’m so sorry, I’ve had mine for years and if anything happens to it I will have to get another one!
I’ve never baked in my machine either.

Thanks for sharing awesome ideas!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
If you are interupting the cycle to take the dough out, why get the machine at all? Just get a mixer and put it in the oven instead.
Yes, oven is also a great option.
I guess some people don't have a mixer.
And normal mixer handles well with cake mixer but not bread dough, need good quality mixer which usually cost alot more than normal bread machine.
I am removing the paddle, but I am not taking the dough out, just move it aside I go with my hand underneath. Hand needs to be greasy with oil for preventing sticking.
Great tip! Thank You

The bread machine does or doesn't work for baking powder recipes?

Help for gluten free PLEASE! X
Nr1. Start with reading the usermanual!!
Yes, good point :)
Manual is useless
That didn't work for me lol

Thank you for your interesting thought. With agreement on 2 out of 11 points, it seems we have some common ground, at least on a few things.
Has anyone tried poolish and sourdough in a bread machine?
Really wrong advice to remove the mixing blade. In my Panasonic the blade is deployed later on after the initial mixing kneading cycle.
Okay, very interesting. Other Panasonic models work differently, so, you are right, the advice will not apply to your bread maker.
Okay, except every recipe I've seen says to have your liquids (water, milk) at 110º-115º, not room temperature. Your yeast won't work if your liquids are room temp.
I have used room temperature, or even liquids on the cooler side…all worked just fine because the machine heated it up.

Thank you for the suggestions but I think your ones are even more basic, give me some that you think are really advanced.

Try this bread recipe, it is very simple and has worked every time I made it: ua-cam.com/video/g4JceU4nZp8/v-deo.html
This is so wrong. Bread ingredients are easy to use. No need for a packet mix.
No need to remove the paddle. It can mess up the program.
Yes, removing the paddles before the mixing is finished isn't advisable. It's better to do it after they're no longer needed. And you're right, using packet mixes isn't a must; it all comes down to personal preference.

I remove the paddles-bread is fine. On occasions where I have forgotten to remove the paddles, bread looks & tastes exactly like the loaves where I removed the paddles. Only difference is visual.
