Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: Help! Bread dough kneading advice needed
« on: April 30, 2011, 11:03:56 am »
I used to make all my own bread (25 years ago) then when I went back to work, my thoughtful family gave me my first breadmaker for my 40th birthday. We had about 4 breadmakers between then and the purchase of my Thermomix ( Dec 2010)
I did not buy it -- TMX --for the bread making function, but discovered very quickly that it was much better and far more versatile than a breadmaker. I now make bread of every imaginable type most days---but realised very quickly that the recipes supplied are not necessarily accurate with water/flour proprtions. I watch through the hole in the lid during the mix and knead stage and add flour or water as required.
Persevere---it is definitely worth it. I do not do any hand kneading--and I would never buy bread again. It is so easy.
Good luck.
