...using a bread maker

[BigAl-sa]

Hi there, my issue is different but maybe someone can help. I recently got the Russel Hobbs bread maker but although the bread mixes and rises without any issue I find that the bottom on one side and partly up the side is slightly burned. Any ideas how to rectify the problem??

The issue you have is "Russel Hobbs". 98.98% of their stuff is rubbish.

I wish i could give you advise, but alas I cant.

My wife had a bread maker - Russel Hobbs.

She had her own boere recipe, and the bread was lekker, but, it didnt last long before going stale.
We had to pretty much chow it the day it was made.

After having bread braai, bread roast, bread steak, bread all sorts, I took the little mixer thingy out, rendering it useless.

Back to real braai.

That's the problem - you start removing all those delicious preservatives and that's what happens…

We mostly use ours these days for the kneading process - kind of hard to cook pretzels in it

Any recommendations on a good bread maker? For the time being, ignoring the cost, is there a machine that you use that does a great job?

I have a 10 year old Panasonic. Still going strong. I do a loaf 3 times a week. Pizza dough once a month.

Beware: Bread machine = expanding waist!

Thanks @Dairyfarmer. My wife and daughter are wheat intolerant. We want to make our own wheat-free bread

We have a Russell Hobbs 'Bakers Delight' breadmaker we inherited from our emigrating daughter 6 years ago, which has a gluten-free bread programme option. We haven't tried that, but the other options have worked well. Our son's kids are gluten-intolerant. They use the Glutagon boxed bread mix (not in a breadmaker). The texture is more like cake than bread - perhaps all gluten-free bread is like that.

Whichever one you get, check that you are happy with the shape of the loaf, Papa Smurf. Ours makes a traditional shape, but some make an upright one and I think those only have 1 mixing paddle. I think they all have non-stick loaf pans. If we are paying attention and catch it in time, we take our paddles out after the last mix and before the final rising and baking. That leaves less of a hole.

Let me know when it's back on sale please. The rubber washer has gone on my tray and of course it's not available to be replaced. I'm having to rely on my stand mixer with a dough hook

That's like drinking decaf coffee. SIS

exactly
like going to a whore house and asking for a hug

Here's today's loaf, just out. Underside shows the spindle holes, would be more damage if we'd had to remove the paddles after baking. Very roughly 10% Eureka rye, 50% Eureka wholemeal and 40% white bread flour, Golden Cloud as Eureka not available when last bought.

And here's the crumb. We add various seeds (linseed, sesame, pumpkin, sunflower, poppy) when the machine beeps after the initial mixing.

Yeah: DIY.

I'm having good success with (hell, I've even made one with corn kernels in it last week):

But I've changed the dry mix's flours as
112 gr (1 cup, 4.0 oz) brown rice flour
91 gr tapioca flour
91 gr potato flour
60 gr almond flour

Of course seeing we don't have active yeast, well I can't find it, for instant yeast you'd have to use the conversion which is about 2 1/4 tsp.

Looks awesome, which bread machine do you use?

I have a Kenwood. Very happy with it for both bread and dough

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Yeah the consensus appears to be Kenwood by the looks of it. And their loaves are bigger
