Innovative ideas that can increase a bread company’s revenues?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:17:02 +0000

Some ideas that are already being considered include selling bread to restaurants, baking classes and writing a recipe book. Any other ideas? ( can’t be marketing techniques)

Maybe start a little market stall selling freshly baked bread?
(I don’t know what you consider marketing techniques though…)

What does turning mean after baking for that many minutes?

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:25:23 +0000

I’m preparing to bake some frozen tater tots in the oven and it says, "Bake 15-20 minutes(turning after 10 minutes) Does that mean to turn to turn the tater tots or the pan around in the middle of baking? Thanks.

Flip the tater tot over so both sides get crispy and neither gets burned.

Do you have a recipe for cranberry bread for a bread machine?

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:58:28 +0000

Thanks!

Breadmaker from Aldi – has anyone bought one and is it any good?

admin — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:21:07 +0000

I make my own bread when I have the time using a Kenwood Chef and doing it all by hand but our local Aldi is selling a breadmaker for £29.99 which is just soooo cheap. I know people say you get what you pay for but it comes with a 3 year warranty so that can’t be bad. Has anyone got a really cheap breadmaker and is happy with it.

Mine cost a bit more than that and says Morphy Richards – but they all come out of the same factory in China. The stuff breadmakers create is slightly different to what you can make by hand – and it’s sideways on with a hole where you pulled the paddle out. But they do a useful job. I use mine to make panetone which I’ve never been able to do successfully by hand.

Is there a way I can make a bread machine recipe without a bread machine?

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:26:53 +0000

I’ve found a couple recipes I would like to try but they call for a bread machine, which I do not have. Can I mix the ingredients by hand or do I need to look for more recipes?

Basically, the bread machine takes the physical work and the many steps out of baking bread and bread products. All you do is throw everything into the machine and it mixes, kneads, raises, times, and will even actually bake the bread for you if you want. Bread machine recipes can all be made the old fashioned way. It requires you to dissolve the yeast in warm liquid (not hot) with a little sugar, or honey, molasses, something sweet to feed the yeast while it multiplies. Mix together all the wet ingredients including any eggs called for. Now add the sifted flour, salt, whatever else that’s dry to your liquid. Be careful not to add it all at once because if it gets too dried out you are out of luck and have to start over. Bread making by hand is an art and you need to learn to judge when the dough is just right, not too dry, not too sticky. Knead everything together until your dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, and turn it over so the top will be greased too. This lets the dough rise smoothly. Cover with plastic wrap, or a damp towel and let rise in a warm (not hot) place for about 1 1/2 hrs or until double. Punch down, form into loaves or rolls and let rise again, about an hour. Bake at 350 until brown and it sounds hollow inside when thumped, about 30 minutes. Immediately remove from pan and cool on a rack away from drafts. To make a tasty crust, I brush the hot bread with butter. Enjoy. Buy a bread machine! Put it on your Christmas list!

if I use milk in my breadmaker, is it OK to use cold or should I warm it up?

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:41:10 +0000

Thanks everyone!

It depends on your breadmaker. My machine has a preheating mode, so the temperature doesn’t matter.

If your owner’s manual requires warm liquid to activate the yeast, yes, you should heat the milk.

How long should wait to call a company after you have submitted an online application?

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:36:48 +0000

I have recently put in an online application for Panera’s bread company. Now, personally I hate and I mean HATE putting in online applications because I feel that no one looks at them.What exactly should I do?

I usually wait about 3 to 5 days because it gives them enough time to receive your app and consider your abilities compared to others. plus, you never know how many apps they have to look at.

How do I make bread without any yeast?

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:07:20 +0000

We’re running out of bread and we gunna make our own. problem is we don’t have any yeast, so anyone got any recipes for yeast-free bread?
Gd answers so far, but with the alternative we don’t have a carbonated drink. Used it all up. Can’t go out coz we’re in the middle of a snow storm… Anyway I could use baking soda instead?

Irish Soda Bread is the way to go and I see a poster gave you a recipe.

But I’ll give you an alternative.

Yeast-Free Bread

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups self-rising flour

3 tablespoons white sugar

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease one 9×5 inch loaf pan.

Combine the flour, sugar and carbonated beverage.

Mix well and place into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

Note: If using a sweetened carbonated beverage cut back on the sugar a little.

Edit to add a note:

Search google for beer bread. It’s a quick bread without yeast and I know we make here at home. It’s great for sandwiches.

Will the bread machine kneading attachment come out of the bread when it’s done?

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:53:32 +0000

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!

yes the paddle often stays in the bottom of the bread. i recommend using a chop stick or an ice pick to pry it out gently.

be careful here, the paddle is often covered with a non-stick coating just like the inside of the pan and you don’t want to scratch it.

What bread machine makes the best tasting loaves?

admin — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 12:02:29 +0000

Purchased an Oster a couple years back, but the bread is no match for my original bread machine and I am tired of trying to "improve" it. If you’ve had bread from a home bread machine, what machine made the yummiest loaf?

I have a BREADMAN that I like very much.
