What programs does it have? Has anyone tried to bake with wheat or whole grain flours - if so, how did things turn out?

I have tried multiple setting with this bread maker and the bread seems to always turn out really heavy and dense. So if I had to do it over again I would not purchase this bread maker.

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

No I haven't tried. I tried cornbread. It came out okay. Just remember to use 3/4 c of Multi blend per 1 c of flour.

I haven't tried it in anything but pancakes but it does seem to work more like whole wheat flour. I would do 2 flour to one Atkins. It is very heavy like whole wheat when baked or cooked.

Yeah, love it. Never use it 100% but I always mix it (1 -3 cups for a 2 loaf) with other (organic) spelt or wheat or white - the more used, the more gluten I add. Depending on how much 7-grain you put into the dough, it gives the bread a nutty consistency and a wonderful taste.

I love this deluxe model, from what I understand its far superior to the regular model. I mostly grind spelt and wheat. I have ground brown rice a few times with it and was pleased with the resulting flour. I did go back and order the motor for it too & am really pleased using it. I did grind rice with it by hand cranking and motorized both ways result in nice flour. Hope that helps

There is one recipe for 100% whole wheat flour (Honey Whole Wheat Bread 1 1/2 lb. loaf). It also calls for a small amount of gluten flour and powdered milk. I have used several other bread cookbook recipes that use a combination of wheat and bread flour and they have turned out well. This is my 3rd bread machine and this is the only one that I have not had regular problems with bread falling once it goes into the bake cycle. I've had slight falling with this machine 2-3 times and it's when I'm trying a new recipe I've never made before. I've been enjoying this machine more than any of the other brands. Hope this helps.

I had problems in the beginning with every single loaf until someone from the company where I purchased my Zo sent me their recipe. It's a 2:22 timed loaf with specific layering instructions using fresh ground wheat flour. Since then, I've not had one failed loaf in 5 years.

Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way. You can not use bread flour for everything. It is only for bread/bagels etc. Anything that needs high protein/high gluten which equals chew. I imagine you could use it for sauces, but I don't. I use Wondra for sauces. I use GREAT RIVER MILLING's whole wheat pastry flour for baked goods such as cookies, cakes, nut breads and it works BEAUTIFULLY, you can not even tell it is WW flour. If you have kids, they will never know any different. I don't think I've used their regular wheat. I did buy some WW Bread flour that I did not realize had part of the bran removed, but I will not buy again as my customers want Whole Wheat. Hi, as an experienced baker, I would advise this way.

I think the program would be perfect. The food tastes really good, prep is 3-4 minutes in the microwave, the selection is great. Again, I would recommend the all protein choice, adding breakfasts and using your own frozen vegetables. If you exclusively used this program it's a can't lose situation. If you modify to fit your unique needs, of course the weight loss could be slower. It's gluten free and pretty much dense protein. Filling and, surprise(!) delicious.

I might be able to help, I have this machine and had the same problem as you. Do you use bread flour or all-purpose flour? From the owner's manual:"Canadian flours are milled from harder wheats so breads can be successfullymade from national brands of both All-Purpose Flour and Bread Flour. U.S."All-Purpose Flour" will produce poor results and should not be used with thisunit. In the U.S., it is important to use "Bread Flour" for even-textured loaves."I hope this helps!

I have no idea, but the only success I have had with it is whole wheat grain breads and pizza dough. It doesn't bake the white breads.

I made both whole wheat, and 70% wholewheat. Both great but I find that 100% is better made with a 1.5 tablespoons of sugar instead of molasses. Less dense and sticky. I also made the "Seven Grain' loaf using '10 grain cereal" - great but next time I shall use sugar instead of the molasses.

I have always had disastrous luck using the whole wheat setting on this machine. I always make whole wheat bread but I use the basic white bread setting. It works great.

Yes! I've even made muffins from a regular recipe and just subbed this one. They turn out great. My fave flour blend yet!

Angel: New Breadman Ultimate Plus:Purchased new machine on Amazon, baked with reg flour and came out great, twice tried Red Mill gluten free bread mix following the instuctions exactly but both came out larger than 1/1/2 lb and raw in the center of the loaf. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes! I love this yeast, I'm a pretty serious (home) baker. I'm very particular, and I mostly bake with whole wheat flour. It is the best yeast I've come across. It works so very well!
