Bread Machine Knowledge Base
Bread Machine? Looking for some help, I have a Bread Machine that I aquired and it didn't come with instructions. I would like to know should I hand mix the dough first and put in the machine and set it and let it work that way: Or do I put the ingredients into the machine and let the machine work the dough itself? Someone please help me. Queen
bread machine? Do all the bread machines always have a "dough" mode? (I would like to put the dough in the oven and bake it myself)
Bread Machine: I want to bake the bread in the oven how do I know at what temp. and how long to bake for? I am new at using a bread machine and I love it for mixing the ingredients and doing the dough cycle. I don't like the shape of the bread though. So, what I like to do is after the dough cycle remove the dough and place it in a loaf pan, cover and let rise for about 30-45 minutes. Then, bake it in the oven. I have one recipe that tells me that I can bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes if I don't want to bake the loaf in the bread machine but most recipes don't include this information. Is there a general rule about how long to bake a loaf of bread and at what temperature or any other way of figuring it out?
Bread machine pizza dough - do I need to use bread flour? Or is all-purpose flour okay? We use our bread machine to make pizza dough. Will the dough be tougher if we use regular all-purpose flour instead of bread flour? Bread flour is supposed to be richer in gluten so it will stand up better to being machine-kneaded, but I don't know if it will matter since we are making pizza dough this time. Any experience? Any technical know-how affecting this?

Will the bread machine kneading attachment come out of the bread when it's done? I haven't used my bread machine yet. I'm a little confused as to how the kneading attachment doesn't destroy the bread when I remove it from the pan. The instruction manual does not address this concern anywhere. Please help! There are no other pieces to the bread machine (i.e. wire prongy-things) to help remove it. The manual does not even mention a thing about removing!
What kind of yeast should I use in my bread machine and should I proof it beforehand?

Why bread in my Zojirushi bread machine never raises? I have BBCC-X20 machine. I bought a fresh yeast, both for normal and quick cycle. I follow the recipes from the Zojirushi book. But bread always comes out with it's top very low and curved inwards. I followed SumBuddy's recommendations. And bread came out of the oven very tasty and well rised. Last time I used the same recipe in the machine and bread was bad. Maybe Daa is right, it was too much moisture for Zojirushi machine baking. I will try this next.

If anyone has any experience or ideas that could help that would be awesome.
