Yay..!! finally after much consideration and waiting. I finally granted my wish. I got myself a breadmaker. I used to hand-knead my bread and it takes really long time and a lot of energy to get the dough smooth and elastic. My kids they just love to eat bread and buns. All the bread sold outside contain to much preservatives, colouring and etc.., not to mention other chemical used to make the bread soft and spongy. Most of the bread I bought from the bakery taste sourish. Breadmaker will be a good investment for my kids and my family. They will get to eat fresh and healthy bread at anytime right?? hehe...
I try out this Wholegrain Raisins Toast using my new breadmaker and it turn out perfectly. A very healthy toast and it taste very yummy too. The bread stay soft after 2 days. Try this out if you want something healthy for your breakfast.

p/s: I sprinkled some rolled oats on the surface of the toast and omit the chopped walnuts as my kids they don't like nuts in the bread. *I baked this toast straight with my breadmaker and surprisingly it turn out just perfect, SOFT & FLUFFY! It remained soft for the next 2 days and I have no regret getting this breadmaker after all!

Been thinking of getting a bread maker for a while since we ate a lot of bread. After reading your post, I think we should renew our search for a good bread maker.
ReplyDeleteWhich brand do you recommend?
Colin - I got to know from my friend that the brand I bought are not available in USA. I will take some pics and post it in my BLOG soon.
ReplyDeleteHi TINTIN,
ReplyDeleteMay I know if you have baked the bread in oven or in the breadmaker?

Mui Mui - Hello, welcome to my BLOG! I bake this "Wholegrain Raisins Toast" straight in the breadmaker. However, you can bake it in the oven too after proof it by divided it into 3 equal balls and roll it into springroll shape, let it proof again before bake it in the oven.
ReplyDeleteHi TinTin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for replying. I've tried this recipe and bake it in my Kenwood Breadmaker BM256. However, the bread turned out to be dense and bit heavy. I do not know why it looked so different from yours. :( Which brand of wholemeal flour did you use? I used the Graham brand wholemeal flour.

Mui Mui - I'm sorry to hear that the bread doesn't turn out as you want. There are many reason that cause the bread turn out dense and heavy.
ReplyDelete1. Too much liquid or butter, make sure you measured all the ingredients accurately.
2. The dough not proof long enough before you bake it?
By the way, I use the Organic Wholemeal Flour bought from Tesco.
