Bread Machine Tang Zhong Wholemeal Bread 汤种全麦吐司

This is my second attempt at whole wheat bread. My first was a banana whole wheat yeast bread (from recipe here), but unfortunately that did not turn out very well, so didn’t blog about that.

Catherine Atkinson’s Sweet Potato Bread

Having tried the yummy buttery brioche bread recipe here from the book “Brilliant Breadmaking” by Catherine Atkinson, I am tempted to try another one. This time, it’s the sweet potato bread.

Panasonic SD-P104: Chocolate Walnut Bread on ‘Soft Bread’ programme

Today, I tried the ‘Soft Bread’ baking programme of the Panasonic SD-P104 Breadmaker. Before this, I have used the ‘Bread’ and ‘Stuffed Bread’ programmes, both yielding rather dry bread with thick and tough crust. I was hoping to get a really soft bread comparable to oven-baked bread with this option. The ‘Soft Bread’ option takes 4…
