I have made a potatoe starter recipe on the dough cycle and it works just fine. I half my recipe because I'm afraid 6 cups of flour might be too much for it to mix properly. One problem I have with my machine on the dough cycle is the timer doesn't beep at the end anymore. It has quit working.

use the same setting as white bread. But caution about the timing of the rising. I usually use the T-Fal for mixing, then proof and bake conventionally.

I looked in the manual and in the recipe book that came with my bread machine, and there is no mention of sourdough, so my guess is "no."

You can make any kind of flat type breads with the machine. The time to cook depends on how you like it, there is a booklet that comes with it that has times and some recipes. I put the dough in, close/press the lid, and hold for 3-5 seconds to prevent dough from retracting. Hope this helps and you enjoy it as much as I have so far.

from reading the product description there is a Dough setting. It's not a "mid-cycle" thing like you asked - Dough setting is usually when the machine finishes at the end of the first knead/rise. You remove the dough, shape it as you desire, let it rise a second time and bake.

I have not. I have used this a number of times to make sourdough bread in the oven and it works well. Any whole wheat produces denser bread no matter the method of cooking.

My first two attempts with my BBCCX20 were awful. I started reading comments on the internet assuming so many people couldn't be getting a good result. It had to be me. So here are some things I changed. (I am not an experienced bread maker) I now spoon my flour into the measuring cup after fluffying it up with a spoon in the sack. I use much less flour this way I've found. Second, I have noticed I always have a messed up loaf when I use the plain active dried yeast. I have started using the rapid rise Fleishchmann's in the jar that is made especially for bread machines. Then I either use the quick, quick wheat, or cake cycle if it has eggs in it. I also now test my liquid with a thermometer to make sure it is about 100 degrees and I warm my nuts slightly since I keep them in the freezer. Eggs I leave on the counter until they don't feel cold anymore. It takes some advanced thought to make a loaf of bread I find. But I am now very happy with my machine. I was a little bit panicy to begin with though.

No, I made bread by hand only with this flour. I do not own a bread machine. My favorite recipe was where you let the majority of the flour soak over night. I would soak 3 cups of flour in 1 cup warm water(sometimes throwing in a handful of oatmeal or flax) then the next morning add the rest of the ingredients. It also seemed to rise better but I did knead for 15 minutes. Totally flour I used in the recipe was approx. 4 cups with a bit more for kneading. I got 2 8x5 loaves out of it. I found the recipe via google.

I only use active dry yeast and have o experience with SAF yeast. I do no use a bread machine when I bake.

I use recipes from a bread maker recipe book, not a home made bread recipe that I have for making bread in the oven. It is important to follow it precisley in terms of putting the ingredients in the right order that it calls for. You can find nice bread machine recipe books on Amazon and also the one they give you with this purchase is nice. Hope this helps..

i just received my breadmaker. everything worked great and the bread looked wonderful (ha). until it was time to remove the bread. you better be a rocket scientest. finally my husband came to my rescue, by the time he got the bread out, the paddles hole really made an awful mess.i am not a happy camper.the box went out with the trash, so here i am with this (big) machine to look at. and i do mean (big)hope this helps you. a friend of mine reccomended this breadmaker to me, i have had westbend products before so i though i was doing the right thing (wrong)

I did not try it with my bread machine ! I just followed the box instructions which were easy - it turned out nice every time! After it cooled I sliced the entire loaf with an electric knife and then froze two slices each in sandwich bags for easy removal and thawing! Good Luck! &#128522;

I used to put a piece of parchment paper on top of and to the sides of regular bread dough in a Pullman pan, because I did not want to coat the sliding top with butter and flour (I didn't want butter leaking to the bottom of my oven) but completely lining a bread pan with parchment paper on the bottom and the sides looks like an awful hassle to me. My bread books say indeed that the sourdough starter should not come into contact with metal - but I guess it's alright when you're in the dough phase, that you can bake in a metal pan.

Yes. May I suggest you seek out 'King Author' supply (flour and baking products) website. they have a wonderful sourdough starter for around eight dollars. And well worth it, the bread is the best I have made in my T-fal. Very large loaves. You will never run out of starter, I have given some away several times. Use the basic loaf mode, on medium to dark setting.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

You don't feed your sourdough? Interesting. I suppose you could leave it running forever, but I wouldn't. At $150 a pop, that's an expensive way to keep your culture going.. try another method. How did they do it before proofers? :)
