Panasonic Breadmakers Tips and Quick Questions Thread
Comments

This has probably been asked before, but I haven't been able to find the answer.
I found some whoopsied M&S multi-seed bread mixes this week that look really lovely. As the yeast is already in the mix, would they be suitable for my oldish Panasonic? I could make them by hand but I've got a bit lazy and 10 mins of kneading is a bit :eek: now having been spoiled for so long.Better is good enough.0 -

Yes, bung them in on Rapid, use tepid waterEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
The instruction booklet should have instructions on how to use ready mixes, at least mine does
basic rapid (white or wholemeal), xl for 600g packets, L for 500g0 -
Thank you Farway and Terra Ferma. All I could find in the instruction book was that the yeast shouldn't come into contact with the water.
I had a total failure with a premix in an even older Panasonic - I buy them second hand and give them away when I find a slightly more up to date one that I can afford. They often come without instruction books, so I wanted to check with the experts before I put the first packet in.Better is good enough.0 -
My husband always bakes the bread (I'm not allowed .. hah) and we have a Panasonic Bread Maker that we bought about a year ago.
Sadly, the bread is coming out a bit dense, he always bakes according to the instructions with the machine (being a man) - can anyone possibly post their definitive recipe for a large white loaf made in a Panasonic breadmaker (2501 I think).
Many thanksNormal people worry me.0 -

Many thanks
after lots of trial and error this one made in my panasonic works every time...
1 and 1/4 teaspoon yeast
500 gram white bread flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 desertspoons olive oil
350 ml water
2 vitamin C tablets
I never add sugar or milkpowder and always use the bake rapid setting for a large loaf with medium crust.People Say that life's the thing - but I prefer reading

Thank you so much, I shall print that off and present it (discreetly) to husband - you know how they can take a suggestion as a criticism.;)Normal people worry me.0

I have a Panasonic SD 2500,which I'm very happy with.
I always make the same loaf-a wholemeal one,but vary the sizes.I never do the 'quick bake',that is until a few weeks ago.The normal bake is 5 hours,and the quick bake 3 hours.I decided to try the quick bake,and was very impressed with the results.In fact it's a better loaf.
I had assumed that the normal loaf would be superior-anyone else found the quick bake to be better?0 -
I have the same bread maker, my rapid loaf takes 2 hours.
I sometimes use 400 white/200 whole meal depending what I have in the cupboard.
Both loaves are really good,the 4 hour bread is quite large so for school lunches I use 1 slice for sandwiches ...
Make a loaf nearly every day0 -
Very excited. My very own 2501 is on it's way to me as I type. Late birthday present.
I've read the entire 63 pages of this thread since ordering - with a few diversions off to the other linked threads - and have picked up a good few hints and tips.
- Always start with the machine's own recipe and tinker from there if necessary
- Make sure the paddle is in securely
- Don't leave the pan in to soak
- Tease the paddle out of the finished loaf with a chopstick
- Even though I'm dieting, don't throw away any clothes now getting too big:rotfl:0
