Easy bread recipe, proof and bake bread in the Ninja Speedi

[@grandma2twins]

So excited to find these videos on the combi. Hubby is going to make bread tomorrow using your instructions. Thanks!

[@realfoodprep]

Hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for watching!

Our UK Ninja does not have 'proof', that is replaced by 'steam'. So I use the 'dehydrate' setting, which is a very tiny warmth and does the same job I think

[@NickHarman]

and we dont have steam and crisp but 'steam and airfry' which I do not think is the same thing.

[@realfoodprep]

Great idea to use the dehydrate setting! Adding the warmth just accelerates the proofing process but you could set it in a warm place in the kitchen and achieve the same result but would take longer. Bread density was not exactly as I wanted on this first loaf but I will tweak with each loaf I cook till it is perfected! Thanks so much for watching!

@@realfoodprep Actually I now find dehydrate is too warm and makes the dough 'skin' Better just to put the Ninja on bake for a minute then turn it off and put the dough in, the residual heat proves the dough

[@jamesvoigt7275]

Although the temperature is about right, as I understand it, the dehydrate function uses the fan to dry out the food inside. Naturally, that is going to affect the bread dough. Proofing should be accomplished in a moist atmosphere, so I can understand why this is giving you trouble.@@NickHarman

Thanks so much! I just bought a Combi and there are really no instructions for baking bread. This is the guidance I needed. I am not using the Combi proofing function this go around but I will try the steam and crisp function to bake it. We will see how it goes.

[@realfoodprep]

You are so welcome! I actually purchased the combi but haven't received it yet. Excited to use it for food prep because it can cook bigger meals! Thanks for watching and keep an eye out for combi meals coming soon!

@@realfoodprep We can go through it together. What i find strange is that I thought I saw Proof on the Combi Cook menu yesterday when I brought it home but can't find it today. I also can't seem to find a Customer Service number. This is my very first Ninja product. The bread I cooked today using your directions I think came out ok but may be a little under cooked in the middle, although the thermometer seemed correct. Anyway, there is a definite learning curve. Chicken was ok last night but just ok. I'm going to try a chicken curry recipe tonight. Can you use silicone bakeware in Ninja?

[@realfoodprep]

I have not personally used the silicone bakeware but have seen others us it. MY COMBI arrived damaged so I had to ship back to Amazon for a switch out....I was so disappointed

[@catherineabramson5460]

@@realfoodprep oh no. So frustrating. I seem to have lost the Proof function. It no longer shows Proof on the menu so I'm curious. Haven't called Customer Service yet. I have to say I'm not impressed with Bake. Bread, brownies, and apple tart came out lack luster. Maybe it's me. When I look at other bread making/baking recipes, people seem to be using the Air Fry menu. I may try that in the next couple of days. I wish the instructions were better.

[@catherineabramson5460]

@@realfoodprep After trying to use the Combi, I had to return it. There were electrical issues and I was shocked. I replaced it with another brand. I've ordered silicone bakeware. Hoping this will be the answer for baking breads. Meanwhile, I have successfully dehydrated several items.

[@Sbrown5024]

I did wonder about that thanks

[@realfoodprep]

Going to be making some more videos of bread in the Speedi and Combi in the near future. I have been experimenting with sourdough and whole grains. Thanks for watching!

[@maizoual]

What’s the temp you’re looking for done-ness?

[@realfoodprep]

I usually shoot for about 190-200. That gives me the texture I like for my bread. Thanks for Watching!

[@kairod3306]

Do you need to add water to bottom of tray the first time?

[@realfoodprep]

You do not for proofing I just go ahead and do it sometimes so it's already in there when I go to cook it

[@janjoberry]

Is there a reason why you chose "steam and crisp" setting instead of "steam and bake"?

[@realfoodprep]

No, I thought it might cook it a little quicker on crisp but I think steam and bake would work fine as well. Thanks for watching!
