(His blog is maintained, and the site is updated, with many modern contributions from John Allen and other friends of cycling). The gravel bike is more similiar to …

Smaller Bread Machine Loaves

Leave a Comment / Food / By Tony Dalmyn

Bread was made with rye flour in parts of Eurasia where and when rye grew and wheat did not, including the parts of central and nothern Europe around the Baltic Sea.

Multigrain Bread Machine Loaves

1 Comment / Food / By Tony Dalmyn

Multigrain Multigrain means a blend of bread flour and whole wheat, or another flour. These recipes involve 15% -50 % whole wheat flour by weight.

Bread flour (white) Bread Machine Loaves

I worked out my approach to yeast and low sodium in baking in a Panasonic SD-YD250 for medium (1.5 lb.) loaves June, July and August, 2018. BLBMC recipes did …

Bread Machine Recipe Tables

5 Comments / Food / By Tony Dalmyn

I began to chart recipes in tables when I realized that each manufacturer has its own set of programs for its machines. Predictably, standard recipes (e.g. Bread Lovers Bread Machine Cookbook) fail in some devices. Bread machines are either dry (flour) first or wet (water or milk) first, according to manufacturer’s recommendation. Either way, load …
