Anone out there got experience with these mysterious contraptions? My flatmate has gone and got quite an expensive one (panasonic something-or-other). I was hoping I'd be able to make some really dense, german style loaves, but most (all) of the recipes provided with it are of the light and fluffy persuasion. Tips?

In other mycological news, my beer is going well. first brew is an american style IPA, and next up is a dunkelweiss.
kai time!

hey, kiwi - i haven't yet found a good, dense recipe for bread machines, but if i see one, i will be sure to post. hopefully, someone out there will ahve one to provide!
 
as for the beer, i am familiar with the IPS - a brewery in montana makes a very good one, but dunkelweiss is new to me. care to post a little information in the beverages section when you have time? it would be most appreciated!
 
thanks!

IPS? does that mean Indian Pale Style? Dunkelweizen is a dark wheat beer - low hop aroma, chocolatey, caramel, clove aromas, and sometimes banana (which unfortunately my distilling knowledge tells me is hangover juice, ethyl acetate). I'll do a post on it when I make it, with some pics. getting into the all grain thing, good fun making stuff from scratch and not that hard really.
kai time!

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a bread machine. What you can do Kiwi, is adapt a recipe and use the breadmaker just to make the dough and the rise. Most of them have a setting where you can do that...if you already have a recipe for a dense loaf you could try that with the instant yeast. Just a thought.
I use mine for pizza dough all the time. What were you thinking of...like a pumpernickle loaf? Anyway...here is my very favorite link to breadmaking.
Go ahead...play with your food!

I don't know what pumpernickle loaf is I'm afraid. We have a brand of bread here called Vogels - german style heavy loaves, the sort you could kill someone with if you hit them with it.... If you ever find a kiwi lost in your country, remind them of Vogels - they'll get homesick
kai time!

In that case Richard, I have a great recipe for a Vienna bread, but it's a bit involved I'm afraid..I'll check, but believe it's a two day project. The recipe is from "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart

Let me know if you're interested and I'll do a detailed post for you. I'm not at all sure you could do it in a machine, but it comes out great by hand...dense, nice crumb a heavy bread that is perfect with a nice stew, or soup.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Kiwi,

I wonder if this might be what you are looking for?
