Bread making using the Cookworks EHS15AP-P Bread Machine.

The other day my neighbour asked if it was worth making our own bread in the bread machine.
I thought I’d do a video to show how easy it is and give my views on the process. In my opinion it is well worth the effort and little time it takes to produce your own bread. I know there’s the initial cost of the machine to take into account but ours was a Christmas present in 2017. This recipe I would say is the simplest.

I’m going to try it now. Nice clear instructions, thank-you.

Your most welcome, hope you have a good result. I make this usually twice weekly and at some point intend to try something new but never seem to have the time to experiment.

Thanks so much refer back to you every time I use the bread maker.🎉

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

That's good to hear, pleased the video was of help and many thanks.

Just purchased the machine now, giving your recipe a try for the first attempt! Thanks for your video it was very helpful :)

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Very good, it should be fine. Many thanks.

I love my bread machine!!!!

[@LauraC-bi8fy]

I’ve just found this after buying the same bread maker. All my loaves are coming out as bricks so I will try your recipe!

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

If you use this recipe you should find it to be fine. I was getting a similar result at first but found out the scales I was using were faulty resulting in far too much flour added. My daughter also uses this recipe and gets great results, been making our bread this way since getting our breadmaker and happy with the results. Many thanks and hope you get on OK.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. For some reason I did'nt receive a notification of your comment, sorry for the delay in response.

We are using this machine for 3-4 years now every day or every other day. My mum is the specialist and we love the bread. I have to replace the paddle. Today got brooken but i found a replacement one. I think is great overall.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

They are such a good machine and we use ours about twice a week. I thought ours was broken a few weeks ago as it was making a horrible noise, the drive belt was slipping but has not done it again since. Many thanks.

Pleased the video was of interest to you, many thanks.

Thanks for this.

Pleased you enjoyed the video, many thanks.

We were given the exact same beadmaker, however without the measuring cup. The user manual/recipe booklet states the measures in cups. Can someone please tell me the size/measure of the single cup in grams in order that i can then measure the required amount of flour.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

I think from memory one cup of bread flour weighs 125 grams. Hope this helps and many thanks.

[@pipkeech8298]

He says it on the video - 456g of flour.

Just a couple of tips. If you’re using instant/fast action/breadmaker yeast, you don’t need to activate it in water first, it can be mixed right in with the dry ingredients. Traditional Active Dry yeast is the one that needs activating in water first, because unlike instant yeast, it has larger granules and needs dissolving first to activate it, it wouldn’t activate properly just from the moisture of the dough, (like instant) also unlike instant yeast, Active Dry isn’t always guaranteed to be alive. The method you used is absolutely fine but this would be problematic if you wanted to make bread using the timer, as the yeast would be activated too early and could die when the machine is ready to begin making the loaf.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Good points, I hadn't given it much thought to be honest. I just do the same mix every time and it works well for me. When / if I get some free time I may have a play doing it another way, being a full time carer for my wife limits my playtime. Many thanks,

[@xchen7499]

What size is the measuring cup and tea spoon? My ones are missing

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

I am unable to check as I am currently 250 miles from home. I'll get back to you when I can access them, many thanks.

[@xchen7499]

@@DARTraderMediaProductions Thanks for getting back to me. No worry, Enjoy your holiday :)

[@Adeline9418]

Are you following the bread machine ingredients as theyre listed? I dont think you are. Youre lucky it rurned out good.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

I use the ingedients as listed in the video and have done since owning the machine, four years plus. We do one to two loaves a week and they come out great. Our machine is getting worn now as sometimes the belt skips and won't drive the paddle but its had plenty of use.
