Breville Breadmaker

// September 14th, 2009 // Personal

Horray we have a breadmaker! It has taken us three goes to make a good loaf of bread in our Breville Auto Bake (VBM003) but we are finally there.

Now to write something that will help everyone who like us types something like ‘My breville breadmaker keeps failing’ into Google. Ignore the instructions…

We’ve found that the flour websites are normally a lot more accurate than the breadmaker instructions. We’re using the instructions here now – http://www.carrsbreadmaker.info/recipes/stong_white_flour.html and after two failed loafs with 180-odd ml of water we’ve found that some idiot made the manual. After changing it to 300ml the loaf has come out great.

    If you think the bread is good, try the rolls! They are delicious.

    We have also become the proud owners of a Breville VBM003. Armed with a bag of best Stoneground Wholemeal Flour, set about making our first loaf meticulously adhering to the instructions in the manual- result: a cross between a housebrick and a back of sand.
    second and third attempts even worse. What clown wrote these recipes? 4th attempt baking right now, looks promising this time ,followed your advice and doubled the water content. Thank you, saved me from chucking the machine out of the window in frustration!

    I have just received the VBM003 as a present, and the water content given, does not seem to be enough for the quantity of flour – can anyone help me with the correct quantities? For all three size loaves? I would be very grateful
