Hi Enjoyed your video. Live alone but still make bread with a machine. Just a tip from an old ( 84 ) bread maker who is on my third machine. I wear them out. My tip. Take the bread out of the pan right away. It will come out much easier and not so much left on the paddle with out waiting 10 mins. I don’t bother to remove the paddle because we don’t mind the hole.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Thanks for the tip! I have learned that, and I have also learned to take the paddle out before baking. Only of course when I remember 😁! We don't mind it too much with the hole either.

[@gladysrichard6088]

I make the dough in the machine and bake in loaf pan in oven. I like a more horizontal loaf for toasting.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

I still haven't done that yet. One of the things on my to try list 😊.

[@nancypahl7755]

You can easily take the paddle out at the end of the rise cycle by gently pulling back the dough with your fingers and lifting the paddle out. Once baked, the loaf releases much easier and leaves only a small hole.

[@denisebevione8043]

I did live in Texas for 7 years some 20 years ago so I am somewhat familiar with some of your stores. I have only been experimenting with a bread machine for little over 2 years. I am pretty limited on my flour choices here. So I stick to the few small stone ground flour Mills and not the commerical bleached low grade flour of questionable origin we get here. I have two bread machines, a 20 year old Panasonic still works perfectly ( that was gifted from a neighbour) and a new Panasonic bread machine. Breadmaking is a wonderful hobby, also a lot healthier for your family than eating that store bought stuff that's full of preservatives.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

That's so lovely that you have a local mill. Breadmaking is definitely a beautiful hobby. I love it!

[@sewcrafty8492]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I tried your tip on sifting the flour first and using all-purpose flour at that. For the first time since owning my bread machine, Finally, the bread came out light and fluffy.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Oh, wonderful!!!! I'm so happy to hear this 🤗!!! Thanks for letting me know.

[@denisebevione8043]

You can change the oil and use butter, Where milk power is needed use half milk and half water. Also on your express bread you can lower the sugar too. Using butter and milk gives you a light fluffy bread. Also using a good grade of bread flour with a higher protein level give you a way bigger loaf as well. But I am in South Africa we don't get all purpose flour here. So I only use stone ground from a small local mill , our local supermarket flour I have had the most disastrous results.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I didn't think to use the butter and half milk and water together. I can definitely see how that would work. The flour I use has a higher protein profile. I buy an organic flour from a store called Costco. They sell everything in bulk. From what I understand with my research, it's a very high-quality flour. I tried doing freshly milled whole wheat berries, spelt, and barley, and it did not come out great at all 😁! I, however, would love to learn how to make good bread with milling my own flour.

Hi Rebekah, could try removing paddle before the bake setting, then remove finished loaf soon as finished rather than leave in pan.

@Ernie Penny you know, I have tried removing it before the bake cycle and can NEVER get it out ☺️! I am going to try it again. Sometimes though, I get so busy around the house, and before I know it, my bread is baking. Now, I have taken my bread out of the pan right after and waited for it to cool down. They both have about the same removal results 🙄. Thank you for stopping by again and giving me some more advice 😊.

​@@learningtogetherbygraceeasy way to remember, use your dough cycle, when it completes just lift the dough out and remove the paddle.. then roll it a little and set it back in.. then set a timer for 30 mins or so to let it rise. I usually bake for 35 mins on the bake cycle then

[@redknight3439]

Hi, it sounds like your after a more open crumb then what your getting, if this is correct then use the dough function, pull the dough out after the dough function is done, take the paddle out, then do the stretch and fold, Stick it back in then give it an hour or so to fully proof and use the bake Only setting. For as much yeast as you put in, (1 tablespoon is overkill) that loaf should have been touching the top of ur machine had you allowed it to proof for longer. if u prefer a soft exterior on ur bread, put a tea towel over it while it cools... and as always Enjoy ur baking adventures. Thanks for sharing.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Thanks for the insight. The recipes I followed were from my bread machines manual. The second loaf calls for more yeast because it's a quick loaf. I have finally learned to remove the paddle before it bakes, and man, does it make a difference 😊. I will try out your suggestions and see what happens. Thanks you!

[@redknight3439]

@@learningtogetherbygrace Hi, your very welcome, glad to help. I have been making bread for some time now and my standard method is the no kneed method, along with the use of poolish (200g warm water 200 g flour 5g yeast 15g honey let that sit for hour or two) Then once poolish is ready, I get all my ingredients in, Which I normally dont use oil as I prefer a lean dough.. Note: you will need to adjust your amounts if u use poolish of water and flour Combine everything and let that sit in a airtight container, I would do 2 stretch and folds every hour then I just let it go till I need it, this dough will be fine in fridge for upwards of 3 days and its ready to go straight outa the fridge. I have a toaster oven, so that does my rolls up in around 12 min This also infuses a lot more flavor into the bread and it has a open crumb which I prefer This way u have fresh bread as u want it on demand. if u end up giving this a go, let me know which you prefer please.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

I have heard of this method once before. It may be something I do down the road. I am in the process of getting a sourdough starter established and strong. I have been working on it for about 3 weeks now. I'm sure that'll keep me busy for a while 😊. How long have you been baking bread?

[@redknight3439]

​@@learningtogetherbygrace ​ I started in 2018 so long enough to have a handle on how to do things with Only a airtight container and a toaster oven, my sour dough starter began in 2018, I have a plethora of tricks now having played with sour dough for some time. Getting back to what the method I mentioned, what I would normally do is stick the dough in the fridge overnight then do it up the following day, the Extra ferment will add sooo much more flavor And likely will be a more open crumb, I prefer a ratio of 100g flour to 80g water so 80% hydration, basically. Yes it is a wetter dough but the results are way better Then if u have a dutch oven or in my case a cassarol dish stoneware, those make beautiful loaves. If your going to play with sour dough, jump on here and watch a vid titled: The only sour dough starter you will ever need, this will show u How to get the most active Starter possible along with a Huge amount of tips... Heres 1 for u: did u know u could freeze your sour dough starter if ur not going to use it for lengthy periods of time? Yes u can do that without harming ur starter. Just wondering are you on Twitter X ? If yes whats ur Handle? (assuming ur ok with this of course)

I just found your video and you are so cute! I am going to try the first loaf you made. I have a bread machine and I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I am not as "gutsy" as you with experimenting with my machine. I do have a hint - if you spray your container with an oil spray before you put anything in it, the finished loaf will come out a lot easier.

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Thank you 😊. I have tried oiling the pan so many times, and I either have bread that gets stuck in the pan or the paddle gets stuck in the bread 😁. I will keep trying and see if one of these days it will come out smoothly. I hope you enjoy your breads and your machine.

Barry, I have tried removing the paddle both ways, and they have pretty much the same result. The last time I made bread, I took the paddle out right before the bake time began. This eliminated the big hole. It took some pulling to get it out with my paddle remover. However, it worked! The only thing for me is that I get caught up in doing things around the house, and before I know it, the bread is halfway baked 😊. I hope this helps.

[@goedelite]

Bread is, I believe, the easiest to bake of all oven products. Its ingredients, as I see online, are not measured with care: dry measures (cups, spoonsful) are not leveled by volume with a spatula or to the finest line by weight; liquids are not measured to just beneath the meniscus. Such care does not seem necessary whether using a bread machine or not. For a loaf of bread not to be successful, something must be wrong with the recipe or the ingredients. Even if one measures incorrectly, the dough is too wet or to dry, one can easily see that early in the mixing and fix it with a little good judgment. As they say, it is not rocket science!

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

I have baked a lot of good bread with less than perfect measurements, so there is truth in that. I have found, however, that if you are not familiar with bread baking, exact measurements are so helpful. When I started baking bread years ago, I followed the recipes to the letter. I am now more comfortable with eyeballing it. I like to provide details for those who may have never baked before. I'm sure there are some watching this video who are seasoned breadmakers, but enjoy watching for the entertainment. I love watching other breadmakers, be they professional, or home bakers to glean from them. I have learned a lot by doing that, and it has taken my baking up a notch. I suppose for the everyday home baker, at the end of the day, we just want our bread to taste good 😊. What types of bread do you bake? Do you use a bread machine or the oven? I am expanding my horizons into sourdough baking, and that is a whole deal on its own 😁.

[@marylouguajardo6634]

So if I use the yeast active dry yeast the pkg that says original , do I just pour it in the pkg or do I need to follow inst on back , I am confused

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Hi! So instant/quick rise/rapid rise/bread machine yeast are the same thing. They do not need water to activate them. This is why you add it directly to your recipe in its dey state. On the other hand, active dry yeast requires you to add it to warm water first to activate it. This is called blooming it. So you would not just add a package of that to your recipe. Active dry yeast usually is not used in bread machine recipes at all. However, I have been experiencing with active dry yeast as well as sourdough starter for a couple of months now in my bread machine and have produced some pretty tasty loaves of bread. The active dry yeast by far gives a more superior taste than the quick rise yeast. I am still figuring out the water ratios because my doughs have had more hydration with the active dry yeast, which produces a crispier crust once done cooking. I have been measuring out 2tsp of active dry yeast and allowing it to bloom in 1/4 cups of warm water. It essentially looks foamy once it's bloomed. I have been using 1 cup of water, but again, it is producing a higher hydration dough with crispier crust once done. I also tried 3/4 cups of water, but it was too dry and I ended up having to add more water. Once I get this recipe perfected, I am going to do a video on it. I know this is a pretty long response. I hope it answers your question 🙏🏽 🙂.

[@marylouguajardo6634]

Well I guess from your recommendation I should not use the active dry yeast, that says inst to add 3/4 cup of water (warm) and 1 top of sugar., at least not to use with my bread maker , am I understanding yoh right. Thank you, then can you please tell me what yeast to buy to use with my bread machine. I can't see the jar you are using and I did not see it at my HEB Store.

Mam my bread is more dense as compared to the market bought...what could be the reason....

[@learningtogetherbygrace]

Hi, I'm sorry that you are dealing woth dense bread. Here are some tips that I can offer to you. 1. Sift your flour first before measuring. I don't always do that, however when I do, it helps me get a better measure of my flour. Unsifted flour is more compact and you can end up using more than what the recipe calls for. 2. Use an extra Tablespoon of oil. When I use extra oil I find that the inside of the bread is so much softer. 3. Final tip, try adding a TBSP of vinegar with the water to your recipe and see if that helps as well. With my last bread loaf I did all three and it produced a beautiful soft loaf. Also, another thing to consider is that homemade bread won't be like store bought no matter what you do. It can come close, but the reality is that there are so many ingredients in store bought bread that may aid in a softer loaf. Let me know if this works for you.

[@vesnajovanovic3791]

Which flour do you use to make your bread so white?

Hi! So, I use an organic all-purpose flour that I get from Costco. A lot of times, the bread recipes call for bread flour, but I generally don't buy it because it is more costly.
