RabC Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I like making my own bread but am not keen on the fact that a bread machine leaves me with one choice for bread shape. I was quite happy doing the kneading but as the weather warmed up I was starting to drip sweat into my dough which really wasn't an extra I wanted. I bought a heavy duty food mixer from Num Chai that has a dough hook and now my bread kneading is painless and additive free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a breadmaker you can make any shape you want....no sweat....just take the dough out when it tells you and then treat it like normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vediovis Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I would love to buy one, but HomePro and Homework (Sukhumvit and ex Carrefour) told me both they didn't have any for sell. So bad.

Julieflowers Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 They have bread makers in Central Festival. I know 2 people who have bought them recently and I am going down there next week to purchase one for myself, hopefully. mmmmm.....their bread is good so the machines must be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vediovis Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I bought a bread machine in Central last week. Quite expensive, 6500 Baht. But.... it's wonderful Now I parse the Internet to find good recipes and I make new test everyday. To eat your own home made bread is fantastic You don't have top work during hours to make the past and the bread, so you can focus on the creative parts and let the machine do the mechanical job. Good! Now I'm trying to make sweet bread with chocolate bits inside, for breakfast. I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkinhades Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 my bread has been a bit hit and miss, with the breadmaker I brought from the UK, I am having problems with the yeast, I have done a self test and the least is not rising at all! (as per google enquiry) so peeps where are you buying your yeast and flour from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I buy my yeast and flour from tops though macro also has it. I use the blue bruggerman instant brand. I use the bread flour in brown paper packets which is marked australian bread flour in thai. It is harder than the flour they have here and makes very good bread.

Forkinhades Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) yeah I bought a packet of that bruggerman, opened the packet and it went everywhere , silly question, but it must be stored in an airtight jar right? also bought the small airtight jar from foodland, does not seem to do the trick, and in fact the yeast is dead??

Mix up a couple of spoons of flour and a spoon of sugar and add a teaspoon of yeast and a little warm water. Put it in a warm place and it should bubble up if it is alive. Do not add salt.

billd766 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I use screw top plastic jars from the local market to keep my yeast in but I find that around 1/2 way through the packet it has died. Now I normally have at least 1 spare pack for when it does which is usually between 6 to 8 weeks. My mate put me on to a product called KS 505 which is a bread improver. I bought the last / only one in my local Makro for 125 baht. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_improver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Is the water using too hot. It should be blood heat....if you cannot hold your hand it it comfortably for a minute it is too hot and can kill the yeast. It is best to store the yeast in the fridge in an airtight jar., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the same yeast and store in a screw top plastic container in the freezer and just take out what I need, not had any problems so far. Half a cup of warm water, half a teaspoon of sugar and the required yeast, leave to stand for 10 minutes, not sure mine doubles but there is certainly loads of bubbles and a nice yeasty smell.

siam2007 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) okay so you guys are BAKING, I am actually rather EATING bread....... so where can I find a decent or even not-so-decent electric or manual BREAD-CUTTING machine ? not even at the European chains such as BIG-C and the former Carrefour I was successful. The Thai stuff there just looked bewildered at me as if I was an Alien (which, as a bread-eater in SIAM, I have to acknowledge I actually am) .

MeMock Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Whoops, forgot to mention that on the blog! Thanks for pointing that out - I have fixed it now. The brand is a Severin and the model number is I think a 3983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Whoops, forgot to mention that on the blog! Thanks for pointing that out - I have fixed it now. The brand is a Severin and the model number is I think a 3983 I also used the Severin before, in commercial settings (for which it was not designed!). We used 3 of them. each doing between 3 and 6 loaves per day every day. Performed perfectly for over +- 3 years, after which the gears wore out. Kneading the dough puts a heavy strain on the gears! All 3 got the same problem in a 6 month window. So for normal household of use of say 2 loaves a day should give you many years of service. Recommended! BTW, bought ours in Robinsons Sri Racha almost 8 years ago. None to be found back then in Pattaya. Paid just under 5,000 for them in a promotion.
