Milk powder in breadmaker

Pink.

Hi lbt,

This older thread may help:

Milk powder in BM

I'll merge your thread with that one later to keep all the replies together.

Sorry Gingham, I was off searching while you posted!

I use neither fat or powdered milk these days.

I tend not to use the breadmaker to do it all - but use the dough cycle then bug in a tin for an hour or so to rise and into the oven.

I use 450ml water, 750mg strong flour, quick yeast, approx tsp salt and approx tspn sugar. Turns out pretty darn good if I might say so myself.

I may add a glug of olive oil and some oregano if it's for pizza dough - or not - it's good either way :T

The only things you really need for bread are flour, water, yeast. Salt is good, as is some oil or butter, but they are not essential.

Thanks everyone - this is great. I am determind to get to grips with my BM. At least hubby will not be able to complain about more unused gadgets!!!

Thanks Jenny. I'll give your recipe a try. Is that a sachet of quick yeast?

My BM is a bit funny, in that one corner always comes out floury as if it hasn't mixed properly. Not sure what I am doing wrong :huh: Perhaps I should stir everything myself?

Will check through the threads to see if anyone else has the same problem.

Hi jcr,

I use tesco own brand and it's fine. Posts on another thread earlier today suggest that you don't need milk powder at all:

Bread making advice please

Good luck with the baby and don't worry about your brain turning to mush.......it comes back again eventually!

jcr16

thank's for that.

i don't use milk powder at the mo. but instead when it asks for water and milk powder i put use skimmed milk instead.

but as bread price going up so much , i thought i want to try and make it how it meant to be made .
