Hello everyone, my name is Andrey Bunbich. I am a pastry chef and in my entire pastry career I have never cooked anything in a bread maker. But since I am also the author of this blog, in the comments I often come across questions: "can this cupcake or pie be made in a bread maker?"
Before that, I always replied that I did not know, since I had no such experience. But now I have a bread maker, and it's time to learn how to use it.
I am sure that in the comments there will be a lot of questions about what kind of model I have, so I will immediately show and tell you. And at the end I will share the recipe and my impressions of making bread.
So welcome: Starwind SBMM1224. It looks simple and tasteful. At the top there is a scoreboard where you can select the mode.
Honestly, I'm surprised. I always thought that bread makers were just about bread, so I never considered them seriously. This model has 12 different modes of operation.
There are 7 options for bread alone. But besides bread, you can bake a cake, knead dough, prepare pasta dough, or even make jam. Jam in a bread maker is so convenient! I threw all the products in there and left it to cook, and you don't even need to stir it yourself - class!
What else made me happy? There is a timer for starting work. That is, you can load all the ingredients into the oven in the evening, and in the morning, while you are still sleeping, the bread maker will start baking bread. Then you can immediately serve hot and fresh bread for breakfast.
You can find out the cost and study the model Online or using the Yandex. Market below. And I start to bake my first bread in a bread maker.
Step-by-step recipe for how to make bread in a bread maker
Ingredients:
- Water 350 g
- Vegetable oil 3 tbsp. spoons
- Salt 1.5 tsp spoons
- Flour 4 cups (250 ml)
- Sugar 2 tbsp. spoons
- Powdered milk 2 tbsp. spoons
- Yeast 1 tsp the spoon
The first step is to open the bakery and install the kneading blades. This model has 2 blades for kneading the dough, which means that the dough will be of higher quality.
Now I send all the ingredients in turn to the bowl of the bread maker. The instructions advise you to add the liquid ingredients first, and then the dry ones. By the way, do not worry that the bread will burn or stick to the mold, it is here with a non-stick coating.
So, all the ingredients are inside, now I choose the “main” baking mode, and you can go go do your own thing. But since this is my first experience, I want to observe what will happen inside the oven.
To do this, the bread machine has a large window on top, through which you can watch the process.
So it's been 3 hours, and the bread is ready. It's time to extract it and see what happened. By the way, if you like hot bread, then you can set an additional timer and the bread will be heated up to 60 minutes.
The bread got out of shape easily, nothing burnt. The kneading blades remain at the bottom of the bread, but can be easily removed using the supplied hook.
The bread turned out to be very fluffy. Incredibly soft, and most importantly, it can be eaten while still hot. You definitely can't buy this in a store. It's time to take stock.
Outcomes
I liked the Starwind SBMM1224 bread maker. It is easy to use and does not require any special knowledge to bake delicious bread. It is enough just to throw in the food, and the stove will do the rest by itself.
I did not expect at all that a bread maker can make not only bread, but also make jams and bake muffins. Today I tested only the bread function, and in the near future I will share other recipes for the bread maker on the channel.
P.S. If you have recipes for bread makers, be sure to leave them in the comments.
