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 🥺🥺💕
