If you prefer to use a stand mixer rather than a home bakery :
Hi, what is the size of your bread pan? Thank you!
Hello! its about 18*12*12cm.
Hi! What if we don’t have yeast dispenser in bread machine? When do we add the yeast to the dough? Thanks!
Hello Maya,
The yeast should be added last, once the liquid ingredients have started to mix. Enjoy making!
I can’t find milk powder in my local grocery can I substitute it with normal milk? How much should I use thank you ;)
Ok in this case I suggest you change the 230ml water into 115ml water + 115ml milk
Amazing thank you so much 🥺🥺💕
which bread maker do you use?
which dough cycle? how long time and which process? Only dough kneeding?
I am using A Panasonic SD-SR2550 which has a yeast dispenser. Why do I have to insert butter after 5 minutes? Can`t I insert the butter into the baking pan right from the beginning?
Hi,
I use a Panasonic too, an SD-BMT1001, and I run it only for dough kneeding cycle (on my machine it’s program number 21).
I add the butter after the dough has started to kneed, to achieve more smooth/homogeneous dough. I have impression it works :-)
