Bread Machines

[Teacher Terry]

I used my machine for about a year and then tired of it. Paid 100 and sold it for 20.

I just came to this thread to see if anybody made any "blow through that dough" jokes, hehe!


My boomerang Story: Had one, went low-carb 20+ years ago and gave it to the in-laws. But now they're down-sizing and I foresee DW "rescuing" it

About 15 minutes from baking a loaf started this morning. Bought several bread machines at yard sales - they are a yard sale staple. They worked, but put out an ugly loaf. I've been going with 3.5 cups unbleached flour, 1.3 cups warm water, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp yeast per loaf. combine ingredients at various times, knead a bit, use a dusted banneton to shape, plop in covered cast iron chicken pan, slash, and bake. Not into the bread machines.

This looks amazing. For those of us not experts in making bread, would you mind sharing the steps?


I realize this thread is old; I bookmarked it and am just now having time to bake bread!
