Thread: Dillsbury Doughboy

Gonnna start making some dough



Anyone use one or got any recipes?

Always fancied one, but it would be a disaster for the waistline.

From what I've found out, Panasonic is an excellent choice.

^^ Good luck.

I brought over a breadmaker from the UK when we first settled in Korat... in 2006.

It's still in the box.

The trouble with home made bread is it doesn't last long so you have to eat it fast. And unless you know what you're doing, it tastes awful as well!

Don't mind me, I know nothing about dough/bread-making, just here for the thread title and comments...

Bought a "Severin" brand bread-maker a few years ago, but could never got the mix right. The bread weighed a ton after it was baked, seemingly defying logic (and physics) during this process...

Anyway, the heavenly smell of fresh bread baking was almost worth the effort, if nothing else.

I've heard that these can make some really good bread, so good luck.

I also reckon it I'll be in the box in a cupboard after two weeks, never to be seen again. Useless appliances 101.

Next to the waffle iron?

Waffle Irons go into Dilly's sextoy cupboard rather than the unused appliances cupboard.

Will start on the bread tomorrow.

Does anyone know the difference between these flours...and if not fancy a free holiday and dropping a few dozen kilo off to a friend in Thailand?

Bread and bread machine or exercise?, That is the question. Reckon I know which one will win...

^ Everyone has a Cheat Day

I am not the world's greatest cook, nor baker, but i got a S/H bread machine from my Dad after his wife died, and if you follow the instructions to the letter, you can't go wrong.
Note different machines have different methods ie water first or flour first, stick to your specific maker's instructions.
I make about a loaf a fortnight, when i can be arsed, and they come out great.
The smell of fresh baked bread is wonderful.
Like most machines you can make two sizes/weights, so make the size that your household will eat in 24-36 hours.
Give it a go.
Good luck.

As a guess I'd say the one on the right is higher in protein.

^ I shall.

You ever tried Japanese Milk Bread?

...or a sourdough starter in tropical climes.

Imagine what we could learn and adapt to do [the simple art of making bread] without the virulent gadgetry that some become dependent upon.

Nice effort.
Best to ya on your homogenous bread making, Dills.

Dill just how many item did you buy on QVC

Nearly pulled the trigger on this...

I buy my wholewheat flour there in 5kg bags

It seems strange to make scrambled eggs in one... even I can put together decent scrambled eggs just using a saucepan!

Do you have Makro in Malaysia? Even out in the sticks in Korat we can get decent brown bread from Makro.

Yup. The "Farmhouse" brand lasts for months also..

The need to make our own bread vanished with the arrival of a couple of (very good) local bakeries here in Banchang a few years ago. Both still doing good business.
