Trying (and failing) to use a bread machine : Testing the Russel Hobbs Breadmaker 

Watch the order of ingredients, the yeast should be away from the salt and the water. That is why you make a little well or dimple in the flour to put the yeast.

I use my bread maker to make and prove the dough, then take it out and shape and put in a tin and allow it to rise again, before baking in the oven. You have more control and a better end result. 😊

Yeyyyy so pleased it worked for you. I had a nightmare with my bread maker granted we got it free as a handy down but I couldn't get it to produce nice bread 😂 it had two paddle things and one loaf was a disaster so I gave to my dad for thr chickens not realising the paddle was still in the bread ... anyway I had no clue where it went to just flung the machine 😅 then dad found the paddle in the mud in the hen run!!! 😅

Nothing more painful then baking something and it goes wrong!! I’ve had many sunken cakes and gave up on bread making years ago 😂 so glad you’ve figured it out after a few attempts. ❤

I’ve made this bread in my Breville bread maker in New Zealand Thankyou so much we have struggled to find a bread that my husband can have a sandwich with. I used Bakells GF bread mix flour, and while I do miss Dove which I can’t get here (I’m from the UK) this works. So Thankyou so much. The only thing I’ve found for me and this is the flour I think the bread gets quite brown in the last half hour in the machine so I’m going to try and take it out 15 minutes earlier than stated if I dare. The bread flour here is approx £4.00 a bag I’ve worked out that the loaf costs approx $4.00 to make as opposed to $8 to $12 a loaf win win. So thankyou we were struggling for bread. 1:43 1:46

Whew! I am delighted it worked out in the end. Well done for not giving up. The final loaf, and Ed's, looked delicious.

I don't have bread flour right now so All Purpose flour it must be. I would recommend not filling your measuring spoons over the machine just in case the salt/oil/etc. cap falls off or you over-fill the spoon. I have an Emeril T-fal bread maker from 10-15 years ago though I've only made a few loaves of bread in that time, sadly. It's hot here in NJ U*S*A* right now so I might start the bread early morning. Happy Cooking!

I just started using a bread maker, and did the same thing table spoon not tea spoon,it was a disaster,yeast and salt,you make me feel a bit better now I know it can be done lol,nice bread is on the way

Bread is an important thing to master! Good job!!!!

I have a different Russell Hobbs bread maker and the instructions say that the order of ingredients is very important. Off the top of my head it's yeast first, then flour, then sugar, salt, milk powder, oil, water. Dry first and then the wet. When the ingredients have gone in in that order I get a pretty perfect loaf. 👍

Dry to wet ingredients are about in the golden ratio >> 5:3 >> 1.6x multiplier roughly But the most important thing is to watch the porthole and see if the dough needs more flour or more liquid during the first 10 mins or so...

Personal experience - Tip - If the buttons don't respond to your input before the machine begins kneading the ingredients together, press & hold the "start\stop" button until it beeps once. When you use number 3 setting to make whole wheat bread, when starting the program, it looks like it's not doing anything, all you can hear is the clicking of the thermostat. This is normal & there's no reason to worry 🙂👍

have made an attempt at 6 loafs french bread so far last recipe i used was a tweak of the one in the book that came with machine. recipe called for 4 cups flour,1and half cup water. teaspoon salt and one n half teaspoon yeast. all loafs were dense as heck! so the sixth loaf i used slightly under 4 cups flour,very slightly more water,same amount of salt and 2 teaspoons yeast. i also turned up temperature in house to 72. was at 68 (dont know if that really helped) but..... the loaf came out very nice. not dense and it rose significantly higher. i also monitored the kneading process throughout the first 5 doughs were dry and hard. the sixth came together nice as a ball,and was a lot softer.

At the end of your kneading cycle you can take the dough out and remove the paddle, that will make a very small hole instead of that big gouge the paddle leaves.

I've never seen a toddler walk down a hallway as quiet as the one in your video. The bread must be awesome.

Wow! Thank you so much! I was on my way to the tip with my bread machine! I'm so glad I found this video!!👍and

Omg thank you so so much for your trial and error of gluten-free bread making I'm so grateful I stumbled across your page because I was so close to chucking out my bread machine 😅 I'm going to make a loaf tonight so fingers crossed it works 🙏x

I am so happy for you as that was a beautiful loaf of bread. Enjoy!

I'm glad you didn't give up! so smart to have figured out "machine: yes, recipe: no" by the company! It should be against he law to abbreviate tablespoon and teaspoon like that, it should be tablesp, teasp...

I just tried your recipe and it is delicious!!!😊😊

Thanks, that was really interesting, gluten free baking is somewhat of a wild ride I think. My daughter sadly can't eat egg either so I'd have to find another recipe but I've been thinking about getting a bread machine and this actually makes me want one even more!

I wouldnt think MumThings would be my sort of channel but.. somehow I subscribed. Plan to make Keto bread. Good practical review video. Well done.

Making gluten free is really tricky, in a Breadmaker, so this video is really helpfull to see it is possible. Nice one

That bread looked delicious 😊

I have a black one of these, I followed the instructions precisely never having made bread. I couldn't believe the results expecting failure first thing, but it didn't fail! I'm at one with my bread maker. I find it hilarious watching the dough twerking especially when it kneads dough to make the biggest loaf!😂 Making The biggest loaf, when removing the loaf from the tin just by turning the tin over & patting the tin, the loaf should just slide out of the tin leaving the paddle in place, but making the smallest loaf, you have to dig out the paddle from the loaf, I'm very glad I invested in this, it's cool!😊❤👍 When you make gluten free bread, do you not add milk powder because that contains gluten?🤔 I use digital scales to measure out the more miniscule ingredients. I think companies like Russell Hobbs that build appliances that handles food for consumption have to follow health guidelines when creating recipes, personal recipes follow preference that is not deemed as following the healthy lifestyle guidelines.

I've had an old Pacific bread maker for years. I put in water and a bread mix and perfect white loaf every time, They don't make these anymore and I'm surprised no one has continued the great makers. I'm dreading it breaks down. I've tried others, but as most of them are made with a fixed computer chip inside that has never seemed to work. I no longer look for a replacement.when will manufacturers learn ..make it simple and stick to maybe 3 programs like mine. It has a wholemeal and a french setting but I never use them as I don't like either bread.

Back in the 90's a friend's mom got one of those bread makers and she started making lots of loaves of bread, and within about six months the whole family started having symptoms of candida albicans, caused by the bread yeast. So she quit making the breads.

Bread, wine, and thou. 😊

Water has a specific gravity of 1, so 350g = 350ml.

You will never forget your tsp from your tbsp 😂

Yay! In your defence.. we can discuss spoon measurement abbreviations, which are essentially different orderings of the similar letters: tsp, tbsp. I actually love the German Rye bread but not sure if you can get a Gluten Free one. Thanks for the video

I'm using your bread recipe right now. This will be my 2nd loaf in my bread maker that I had for my birthday last week. The 1st loaf was a disaster. 2 hours to go!

I love making bread (stress relief) and tried a bread machine, hated the ever present paddle in the middle hole.

We've got that machine. The recipes are rubbish. We had a Swan bread maker before and I tried those recipes and they work perfectly. The program numbers are different though.

I have problems with recipes short on the water measurements.

Gluten free would be hard to start on out the gate. Did you ever perfect your gluten free loaf in the machine?

After have seen the video in full id guess that yeast was a little bit old on the first 2 loafs? The third loaf you used a new batch of yeast and voila it worked out way better!

Brilliant video once again, I really enjoy them, I’ve been humming and harring about getting a breadmaker as my partner ‘thinks’ he maybe gluten intolerant, perhaps I will try making some in the food processor and oven first 🤔 xx

HA! $285.00 US dollars on Amazon right now. That's 223 English pounds. I got a Kitchen in the box Bread Maker for Christmas and I like it better than my Hamilton Beach, which isn't bad.

Curious about your yeast measuring. It looks like you may not be using a level amount, but perhaps a slightly heaped amount. I'm still learning and folks and recipes have been urging to use the flat edge of a knife to level the yeast in the measuring spoon. By the way, I love your green hair.

I want to buy a bread maker and have found the exact same model as this one. Can anyone tell me if it is worth it or should I buy some other company bread machine.

Oh heck I nit weigh my water I measured 350ml

If we don't use yeast, what will be the result ? I brought the machine today and made the bread with plain flour, it didn't cooked nice

hi mum hows your bread making coming along ? xx

I actually have that very bread maker and it's a breeze!

What brand of yeast are you using, i have different results with different yeast

Can I use a baking powder instead of yeast ??

remember mum salt kills yeast so kept them separate

Make the dough in the machine and bake in the regular oven.

Bravo. 😊x

Your hair s fab :-)

You have some toxic mold on your head or something, you should get that checked out by a professional.
