will it be soggy...

Sarahsaver

Got home from a meeting this evening, 9pm, yes a bit crazy i know but I unloaded the dishwasher, emptied the drier and put another load of washing in, then made a loar of bread, or rather put the stuff in the bread machine. It will be done at 12.30. Should I set my alarm to go off at 12.30 when it's due to be done, to take it out, will it be soggy or will it be ok?
YES I know I should have used the timer but I've had nothing but bad luck with that. Needed bread for kids packed lunch tomorrow!

Sarah,

If you don't take it out within a short time of it being finished it will re-absorb the steam it emits as it cools, therefore yes it will be soggy.

My BM has a function whereby if you don't open the lid, it keeps it warm in a kind of dry heat which prevents it getting soggy but this will only work if the lid has not been lifted and within 1 hour of the end of the program. Any longer than this and it turns to mush.

Sorry to say this, but you'd better set your alarm!

is there anything you can do tonight whilst you wait for it which you can cross off tomorrow's to do list? a slightly late night tonight, but you'll have more time to yourself tomorrow?

i really should get my BM out again. the last loaf i tried didnt work at all and i sort of lost interest after that

Hi all

I used my new BM (Panasonic 253) for the first time last night and put the timer on so the bread would be ready at 6am. I made a wholemeal sandwich loaf....well....it does resemble a loaf of bread :rolleyes: Haven't tasted it yet...it felt kinda squishy and hadn't risen at all. OH is bringing it to work...so we'll see.

I had to get some sleep as I have a big job to do for someone today - got to write an article for a magazine :rolleyes: I set my alarm and got the bread out, but I think there was a prob with something else cos it had dipped in the middle anyway. It was a softgrain mix, like mighty white sort of stuff. Ah well, the kids have a big lump of bread and butter and a chunk of cheese instead of a sandwich today;)
