Bread Machine Recipes

[Teachermom]

I am glad this subject has been addressed. I have a Magic Chef bread machine and I can't find the recipe book that goes with it. Does anyone out there have one? What I really need to know is the order of the ingredients when you make bread. Every bread machine seems to be different. If anyone has this information, I would love to know. Thanks.

If you go to the recipe exchange, there is a sub-forum for Breads, Rolls and Muffins. In that forum is a thread for Bread Machine Recipes.

Most machines follow the same order for adding ingredients. You put the liquid in followed by the dry ingredients, make a well in the dry ing. to put your yeast in. The yeast needs to be where it will not come into contact with the liquid too soon. Since you don't say/know what size loaf it makes here is a loose guide: a l# loaf will use about 2 1/4 to 2 /1/2 cups of flour; 1 1/2# loaf will use about 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups flour and 2# loaf will use about 4 1/3 to 4 1/2 cups. I would start with the smallest amount and see how it fills the pan. I hope that you can get a book from the manufacturer. A bread machine is one great piece of kitchen equipment. I mine.

Have a Jesus blessed day.

Hi Teachermom...

here is some info that might get you a recipe book....

Franklin Magic Chef Bread machine
501-273-6352
(WalMart is the exclusive distributor/service for these machines)

http://stage-consumersearch.brainlin...s/reviews.html


Consumer Reports' latest breadmaker report demonstrates the overall high quality of most machines, at a lower cost than ever before. Machines are tested on their ability to produce white bread, raisin bread and whole wheat bread. Ratings include points for quality, ease of use and noise. Six models are tested; Consumer Reports adds that most machines are made by Salton, which manufactures Breadman, Kenmore, Toastmaster, Welbilt and Magic Chef machines.

The site for Salton, the maker of Magic Chef bread machine..

I would go to my nearest WalMart...see if they have the Magic Chef Bread Machines...and copy the addy off the box and get a book from the company....or as the MANAGER of that department
for information. I have never found sales people able to help in that regard.

You can always call WalMart in Arkansas.....and see if they can get a book for you....they are pretty helpful.

My machine says all liquid ingredients first, water, oil,etc, then dry, with the yeast last.
My suggestion is to go in search for your machine, get your model # etc. and you can pull up the book and print it. I did that, also got book for a floor scrubber, and a parts list for a juicer.
Hopefully you have already gotten your info, don't get on the computer as often as I would like.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. These are all great ideas. The reason I questioned the order of ingredients is that I have seen a lot of bread recipes that will say, "Place your ingredients in your machine according to your manufacturer's directions." You're right, though, most of them are given in the order you gave me. So, maybe that is the usual order.
Also, I did get my bread machine at Wal-Mart, so maybe they do have an address that I can write to for a book. I have checked several times for a machine to see if there is a book that I might look at, but I haven't found one yet. I'll keep trying!
I will also go to the web site. If all else fails, maybe I can find it there.
Thanks again to all of you. I'll let you all know when I find one!

One more thing to note - in addition to not letting liquid touch the yeast (it sets off the yeast too soon) - don't let it touch the salt either. It may not rise at all. I always add the salt as the first dry ingredient to bypass that.

Thanks Teachermom: for the reminder of the salt with the water or liquid that goes in first, that is important.
Don't ya'll just love those bread machines? I remember having flour every where when making bread or rolls, especially when my little ones helped me. My oldest daughter seemed to get the flour all in her hair.........accidently?
