Probably not, since most bread machines depend on the more predictable rising schedule of commercial yeast. However, your bread machine is an excellent way to mix and knead the dough. A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic. These are general baking issues rather than issues with sourdough, specifically; consult your favorite book on bread-bakery (or consult a baker friend who can visit your kitchen and see what you're doing and recommend changes).

Our bread is like sourdough in that it has a starter, but that's where the similarity ends. Virtually every sourdough has something added to it to make it rise, like yeast, dairy, sugar or vinegar. We add nothing-just the flour and water to make our starter. Some people say that it is really "wild yeast" in the air that causes the bread to rise.

No you do not need a bread machine to make bread. Tip Top® Kitchen Collection® bread mixes can be made by hand or in your bread machine. There are step by step hand method instructions on every pack.

We do not use starter in our Sourdough process. We use our motherdough in a process which is proprietary. Your complete satisfaction with every loaf of our famous Sourdough is guaranteed. If for any reason you're not fully satisfied, just call us at (800) 992-1849 and we'll gladly replace or refund your order. This guarantee applies to all perishable food products. Refunds on non-perishable product will be processed on returned merchandise only.

Boudin famous San Francisco Sourdough French Bread originated in 1849, in a tiny, old-world bakery on Dupont Street. There a French immigrant named Isidore Boudin first kneaded a hearty dough, fermented with wild yeast and then formed it into the shape of a traditional French loaf. Our Sourdough French bread is still made with flour, salt, & water and a portion of the original mother dough that dates back to the first loaf.

The Firenza Sun-Dried Tomato & Cheese Focaccia, the Garlic & Cheese Focaccia, and the Traditional Beer Bread can be made in a bread machine. The instructions are on the back of each box. You will need to supply your own yeast.

Make clean-up easier by spraying the kneading paddle (not the bucket) of your machine with nonstick spray coating before adding ingredients. Be sure to soak the paddle and the pan in hot soapy water immediately after removing the baked bread, Always store the paddle back in position in your bucket to avoid losing it.

How often does the average San Franciscan visit Fisherman’s Wharf? Approximately never? Even tourist demand is shifting, as there are now a half-dozen taquerias at, or adjacent to, the Wharf. It’s a safe bet that when the Griswolds head back home to Kansas City, the kids will be bragging about how they downed a whole super burrito, not two ladles worth of half-warm soup housed in some leaky, yeasty contraption.

We start by grinding the grain fresh every day (except for the white breads). We mix this flour with water to make a starter. This starter stands for 8 to 10 hours, depending on the weather, during which time it begins to culture. It is then mixed with more flour, water, and salt, and made into a bread dough.

Many people believe that yeast can aggravate allergies. It is also thought that yeast-free, naturally leavened bread like ours is good for those with candida, which is an overgrowth of yeast in the digestive tract. Additionally, this is the way bread used to be made. The farmer grew organic grain, sold it to the baker, who ground it into flour and made it into bread using only water and salt.

Yes, small bread recipes and yeast cakes can be made in a processor using the dough blade. For best results, closely follow the instructions provided in your processor's use and care guide.

Yes you can, however you will need to reduce the yeast to 1 1/2 tsp. And bake on a sweet bread or quick bake cycle for best results. With all the models of bread machines available you may find yours requiring some minor adjustment to time and moisture.

Tip Top® Kitchen Collection® do not currently make a Crusty bread mix, however you can try selecting the dark crust colour setting, or prolong the baking time by 10 minutes to achieve a crusty loaf.

Hi, First off what size loaves does your machine make? Most bread machines make between a 1 and 2 pound loaf. . My machine does a 1 lb and a 1-1/2 pound loaf. I can fib sometimes and have done 2 lbs if I'm just making dough (which I use it for most of the times anyway.) The recipes should say on most of them what size loaves they make. Hope this helps : )

It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.

You will need a bread machine, a heat gun, a fan or other cooling device, a pot-holder or heat resistant mitt for lifting the bread pan out of the bread machine housing, a colander or wire basket in which to dump the beans, and a fire extinguisher (just in case). This is an outdoor activity. Roasting coffee produces lots of smoke and lots of blowing (and sometimes glowing) chaff. Do not do this indoors.

White Lily® Bread Flour is ideal to use in any bread machine. Bread flour is made with hard wheat flour which has a high protein and high gluten content. Yeast breads require high gluten to form air pockets to make bread rise high and light.

Our California Style Complete Protein Bread contains the essential ingredients as listed in Ezekiel Verse 4:9 in the Old Testament.

The main ingredient is flour, which is ground wheat. Wheat is the grain (seed) from a grass plant that grows in the soil.

Yes, and you can make a pizza-style crust with the Firenza Sun-Dried Tomato & Cheese Focaccia and the Firenza Garlic & Cheese Focaccia mixes as well.
