Making bread in a bread maker- dairy free ?

belfastgirl23

I bought a panny recently and I didn't notice any recipes with milk powder in them at all. And I've always used oil rather than butter on health grounds as well. Maybe worth searching for a more up to date panny recipe book??

I read on here once that milk powder adds vitamins to hm bread which you would usually get from normally fortified shop bread. Milk or oil could be left out easily. But dont forget the yeast like I did in my rolls a few days ago!:o

No they don't bread requires flour, yeast, salt and water. You don't have to put fat or milk in.

Shop bread is fortified because white flour has been robbed of its vitamins-use wholemeal or part wholemeal flour. The folic acid added to bread is to ensure that pregnant women eating a poor diet will at least get some. Milk powder itself has had vitamins put back in it as they are lost in the dehydrating process. You could use real milk;)

My little girl is allergic to dairy and I use Pure sunflower margarine (supermarket brands work too) or olive oil, and leave out the milk powder.

If you don't like the idea of leaving something out of the recipe, I could look up a recipe that has no dairy in it. I have a fantastic bread machine book, not specifically dairy free, but a lot of the recipes don't have milk in. It has a fantastic pizza dough recipe

hi

Have just seen this. Do you still need a recipe?

I am about to take my little one to school but I will check to see if you have replied when I get back just after nine. I have loads of recipes without milk and I'll happily share with you

i find the french loaf bread recipe (included in booklet) gives the best results each time.

I first started using oil instead of butter because I couldn't bear the smell of "butter-bread" baking. No idea why, I love butter normally. I use rapeseed oil because of its similarity in nutrients to olive oil - ie, high in monounsaturates. It may be my imagination but I felt that olive oil makes a heavier loaf, and I put so many extra ingredients in my bread that it already turns out quite brick-like - wheat bran, oat bran, ground linseeds, ground almonds, ground pumpkiin seeds, whole sunflower seeds... you can imagine I've had to lower my ambitions :eek: (was trying to make an anti-menopause and anti-cholesterol combo).

If anyone wants to add some heavy goodies to their bread mixture, I found that using Super Strong or Premium white bread flour helps produce an edible loaf on the quick setting, and a very edible loaf on the full-time setting. I haven't yet found a Premium wholemeal bread flour.

I vary between sunflower oil and olive oil depending on which I reach first but I didn't think about whether they made bread lighter or heavier...will watch out for this, thanks veronarona
