Bought this for $15 many months ago. Still in the box, have not opened it yet.
Same,, not sure what is inside :)
I opened mine, cooked in it once and remembered I didn't actually like cooking my own bread.
OP, which recipes have you tried?
After experimenting with quite a few ratios, i finally settled on this recipe for white bread. It was really light and fluffy.
330g bakers flour
3.5g bread improver
3.5g dry yeast
2 tablespoon full cream powdered milk
2 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sunflower oil,200ml 35-40C like warm water (just filled the normal tank to 400ml)
Crust set to lightPremix the dry ingredients (except yeast) in a bowl first. Put the oil and sour cream in the baking pan first. Then add the mixed dry ingredients. Lastly add yeast on top. Start the machine at light setting.
Is there a pre made pack?
Yep just get the Laucke bread mix from the supermarket. I've tried multigrain and wholemeal and all I do is add the bread mix with the yeast 3g and 1 tablespoon olive oil
Same, love mine.
For $15 delivered, one of the best buys I've made in a long time.
Consistent results for wholemeal loaf (put on timer before going to bed, to get fresh-baked, toasty warm bread for breakfast) added in following order:
200-225 mL lukewarm water
1.5 tbsp sugar added to water
300-320g Laucke wholemeal breadmaking flour
Make an indent into top of flour with finger
1.5 teasp powdered yeast added to indent
1 tbsp of oil of choice to perimeter of flour (N.B. sesame oil not a good choice as flavour overpowering, but any other light oil or even butter added to warm water should be fine).Light setting, gives yummy, fluffy bread ready for breakfast and the odd sandwich for lunch.
N.B. Only half loaf size, so may not suit consumption needs of a larger family.
thanks for the recipes- also have this machine- used a few times with varying success. For the wholemeal loaf above- do you mean you add water to the pot? or just let the machine add from the container in the back whatever it wants?
@mumof2sydney: I add it straight to the pot.
However, I've done the magnet trick for the container at the back i.e. use a plastic twist tie to fix the water float to a height as if it were full with the right amount of water.
The float has a magnet in it and the sensor on the machine thinks it's full of water if fixed at the right height, even if no water. It will still go through the process of dispensing water (which is just air if empty) for the first minute, then start the rest of the normal cycle.
Never had a problem with doing it this way, and as you only need approx. 200mL straight into pot, saves you filling the back container with 400mL of which only half is used. Also, one less thing to clean each time.
hi- tried the above tonight..used real milk instead of powdered..came out like cake (yummy but cant be sliced- all crumbly)…was that enough to ruin it?? not a baker by trade…
not sure really, never tried it with milk. maybe the water content increased because of milk? you could just skip the milk powder altogether.. its mostly to add nutritional value to the bread. maybe also skip the sour cream and give it a go.
OP, have you tried to make customised bread such as
savoury variants: sundried tomato, oregano, basil, olives, cheese, jalapeno?
sweet variants: sultanas, raisins, or banana?How many attempts did it take you to make something descent!?
Can't go too far wrong with the breadmakers flours.
Have added seeds (poppy, sunflower, pumpkin) and olives.
Just need to adjust for total or wet weight & might need to experiment with ratios to get good result. Usually only takes me one to two goes to adjust for good result.
If you want more seeds on top crust, worth adding a few more half way through rising stage (can add from top where pouches port is, but prefer to pause, open door, then add & pat down so sticks better to loaf).
Laucke brioche mix from supermarket comes out very well, if you half the quantities recommended on box, add a bit of butter.
just white bread really.. but i'm pretty sure you could try other variants.. it just doesn't have a separate dispenser for all the extra stuff and i'm not sure how it'd turn out if I put everything from the beginning. Atleast 3 or 4 attempts I'd say..
Thanks for the inputs … I think i would stuff up my mixtures 😂🤣 so will stick to buying them for now
I like that idea of poppy seeds … I am thinking of the orange bread or marmalade with poppy …
I bought one of these when it came up ~$20 some time back.
For what it is, it's OK. Makes a perfect small loaf with a hole in the bottom. And that's about it.
If you get more serious about your home bread baking, get something else - bread maker or decent bench top mixer with dough hooks.
small loaf
Verging on tiny. Certainly smaller than regular bread maker loaves. To think they wanted ~$8-$10 for the capsules.
but small loaf means you can finish it in a day or so and then have fresh bread again
That's true.
Sorry for noob question, so this doesn't mix n make dough itself right? Not like the Panasonic one.
Mixes all the basic ingredients together to make the dough, then heats to rising temperature and lets it rise for a while, then bakes.
Not a Panasonic, but for a fraction of the price, does a pretty decent job, if the half-loaf size is all you need.
Makes me wonder why i bought the Panasonic one already
Postage for me was $6.95, but recall from previous times it can differ a bit where you live.
Don't want anything fancier than a small fresh loaf of bread here, so sounds spot on for me!
$20 shipping to Brisbane. Tempted.
$20 to Melbourne metro. Kills the deal.
Shipping rates looking a bit silly - close to doubling the price after shipping added.
I bought this when it was$15. Stopped working after a few months.
Mine is still going strong. Many kilos of bread made. I think if you tried to do the water tank magnet hack it's more likely to stuff up. I've never tried. Always used it properly and used milk powder instead of milk
Never had a problem with the magnet hack, with dozens of loaves of many varieties successfully baked.
Simple bit of flex tie, keeping it in the position it would float to if there was 400mL of water in the back container. Might take a few goes to get the right position, but really not that hard to do.
If you want to add ingredients with their own wet weight (e.g. olives, capsicum, onion, garlic etc.) then going to end up with less than optimum results if you just let the standard 200mL be dispensed from the back container.
Other way some people have adjusted the starting water amount is to fill the back container, leave the internal pot empty, let the water be dispensed into it in the first minute of a cycle, then put the machine on pause, discard the dispensed water, then add the amount of water and other ingredients you want to, then unpause to resume cycle. This method is obviously not amenable to using the timer.
For the simple reason of avoiding all that stuffing about, find the magnet hack pretty simple to do and for me, trouble free to date.
YMMV.
mine started tripping the circuit breaker during the mixing stage. might be motor or something.
.. so how does everyone deal with the hole in the bread or was I just doing things wrong?
(Please advise)Try this first to gain confident. Then slowly explore to other recipes posted here and in the previous thread.
It has to have a hole for the mixing paddle. All bread makers have one
Mine keeps stopping at regular intervals, we mostly finish it in the oven after numerous tries.
Has anybody had the same issue, is the product faulty?There are routine pauses during the cycle e.g. to let it rise, but do you mean the cycle clock stops or it goes off?
If the latter, then sounds like a fault. Never experienced that with mine. Press start & 2h 10 min. later open the drawer to a freshly baked loaf.
Probably worth a warranty claim to get a replacement.
Definitely not the case in mine, the all the icons start flashing in a bit. Have to constantly keep resuming with the start/pause button after a bit.
Thanks, will reach out to them for warranty.I've actually got the same issue the couple of times i've tried using it.
would love it if you could share how you go with your claim please.
@shakoo: I was just refunded.
Technician said the unit was faulty, and they don't do replacements.
Customer service initially offered a refund without including shipping, but later did after I asked politely :)
Mine is starting to die. Fills the water then stops. Have to try turning off and on again and letting it run from the start. Hopefully it doesn't die. Been loving how it's been so far.
