Couple of months back, my mum bought a Joyoung Bread Maker machine and gave it to us as present. At that time my wife was the captain of this breadmaking ship.
After a while, she showed me how to do (banana can't read chinese) and now its my task as the new captain of making bread since baby E and wife enjoyed it so much.
At least i know what we are eating in our bread nowadays and no more paying so highly inflated prices at the bakery for few pieces of buns with some butter or whatnot.
Here is the recipe i have & sequence of how-to for 750g bread.
All use the cup & spoon from the bread maker.
a) Break egg into the measurement cup
b) Add brown sugar liquid+water (can replace with water/milk/blended pumpkin) up to 240ml
c) Transfer this content to the baking tray
d) Add 3/4 spoon salt using small side
e) Add 1 large spoon b/white sugar (2spoon if not using brown sugar liquid)
f) Add 2 large spoon milk powder
g) Add 1 large spoon cooking oil
h) Add 1 cup ~240ml multipurpose flour (ROS seems to be local favourite)
i) Add 3/4 cup of instant oatmeal, i mix in rolled oat if available. out of stock currently.
j) Add 1 cup ~240ml of high protein flour (RM3.20 per pack, ~3times use each pack).
k) Add 3/4 cup of instant yeast (RM2.70 for a bottle, so many times used i think at least 10 bakes)
l) Turn on power, set #1 for bread, weight & time desired. Hit Start button (with red LED) the machine.m) After a while, kneading starts. ~5-10minutes later on first beep, dump your sunflower seed/sesame seed/nuts/raisins (recommended) and anything you fancy to the bread.
n) Use wooden chopstick/spoon to clear up ingredients stuck at corners/sides to the kneading lump.
o) Sit tight and let the machine do its magic.
* water content is most important, too little won't do, too watery the bread won't raise properly when baked.
* multipurpose flour can replace high protein, only 3-5% less protein content, just dont overdo it think, so far no failure with this mixture.
* Update: make sure don't skip sugar. 1 failure so far since i thought i could replace sugar with milo.
Top left button - change options (bread,knead kuih,soya..etc)
Bottom left button - baking colour (light or dark=crunchy skin?)
Center (+ or -) - change baking time. Min time: 2:54 for bread
Top right - Power (on/off/stop/resume)
Bottom right - weight.
Sorry on the bad photo, was half awake and didn't bother to turn on all lighting this morning, it's ok to let the bread sit in several hours after baking done.
Slice mode.
Teflon (silver-gray coating) seems pretty harmless. Did a quick read up and its only harmful up to >260 C and above which is way above this machine's heat capacity for bread making anyway. However they are susceptible to scratches, thus the instruction manual saying no metal apparatus to be used in the tray. Scratched teflon is still not a biggie, main concern most likely be the aluminium or whatnot metal inside that may get into our bread. So be careful with the tray & the kneading blade!
Oh. blogger wondermummy is even more power. She does many things with this machine.
One notable thing is the health issue ya. See the bread experiment someone did under her blogpost showing the terror of food preservative nowadays =)
