Help answer the question about bread machine mixes
How can I make a great loaf of bread in my bread machine?
I have been buying bread machine mixes. Only one has come out right. These mixes only have 4-5 ingredients and I know how to measure, so what is going wrong? My dough kneads into this gooey sloppy mess. Certainly not the doughball I'm supposed to have. How can the directions on the box be so wrong. My husband is from Turkey, where bread is a VERY important part of every meal. He hates white bread. I need some help. I just want to make a crusty yummy european style bread that tastes great. HELP!!!!

I personally never counted Calories to ensure weight loss or to limit them. The only use of Calories for me on Atkins was to ensure I was eating enough of them not to limit them.
As for what the original or the modern Atkins suggests you eat, I would say they are the same. The same guy who wrote about the phytonutrients and the importance of vegetables wrote all versions, and all versions are high fat, low carb diets.
So in Atkins, does total calorie count come into play? In theory, can you eat protein sources all you want?
Modern Atkins seems to focus on much healthier food sources than shown in the past.
A lot of mixes have instructions for the conventional methods.
Mix it with the yeast and water. Knead. Put it in a lightly-oiled bowl with saran wrap over it, in a warm place, to rise until double in bulk. Punch down and let rise again. Then bake.
The hardest part is kneading. If you haven't made bread by hand before you probably won't knead it enough. The way to tell if you've kneaded it enough is to make a 'window'. Take a piece of dough about the size of a marble. Flatten it out and then stretch it from the middle to make it thinner and thinner in the middle. If it's kneaded enough you should be able to stretch it until it makes a sort of membrane that's translucent, you can almost see through it.
Also the 'punch down' operation, the idea is not to knock all the gas out of the bread. Push it down about to about half it's size and form it into a loaf. Then cover and let rise.
Baking bread the old-fashioned way is an art. It usually doesn't come out great the first time. But you probably will do better with a mix than from scratch, because at least the mixture of ingredients is right.
Wow is that disgusting. a quarter, then cut into thirds? I call that a cracker.
There are several bread machines out there on the market that have a "dough" feature. When this mode is selected, it mixes, kneads, and rises the dough, but it does not bake the dough into bread. Breadman makes a nice bread machine that does up to a 2lb horizontal loaf, has a dough feature, and is around $80. Hope this helps. Look it up on Amazon.com
1-1/3 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
2 cup bread flour
2-1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/3 teaspoons salt
2-1/2 teaspoons yeast
Fill and bake according to bread machine manufacturer's directions.
Grocery store. Look by the flour. You can also check by the "organic" section if your market has one. One of the best mixes I have found is by Bob's Red Mill, their rye bread mix and rye flour is wonderful.
Why don't you also get a bag of bread flour and some yeast and make some yourself there are some very good cookbooks for bread makers and you can have a lot of fun making some very interesting breads. Not to mention your own pizza dough, and cinnamon rolls. Nothing better than waking up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning.

here are a couple I have tried
Chili Bread recipe

1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed chiles
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 package yeast
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Add all ingredients, except cheese, to the bread maker pan in the order listed (or as directed in your bread maker instructions).
Set bread maker to the regular setting and start. Add cheese when the beeper sounds to add additional ingredients.
Hot, Hot Jalapeno Bread recipe
1 (5/16 ounce) package yeast

1 cup bread flour
2 tablespoons or less chopped jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
7/8 cup water
Put all ingredients, in the order given, into the bread pan, select WHITE bread and push Start.
NOTE: Use fewer jalapenos for a milder bread.
Makes 1 loaf, 8 slices.
As you can see, I like spicy :o)
Not that your opinion means anything… Did you see the photos? It’s the size of regular slice of sandwich bread.
It’s 8×8 pan, so by any math quartered is 4″x4″. The standard size of the Wonder bread is 4 inches by 4 inches. The photos show the slice with a patty on it.
“IF not, then we stray.”
I never said you had to eat any of my recipes. So if you don’t like them, make some other ones.
“Have you eaten bread in the last few years?”
I have had a few slices on thanksgiving in the form of stuffing. It wasn’t that hard to replace, and after 6 years and at most 10 slices. I don’t miss it.
I am on a specific diet. I have no idea what Blaine was on, and if it worked for him great. The Atkins Diet plan simply worked for me after years of failing other diets.
After Induction, the point is add carbs back into your diet gradually. After you figure out what your personally max is, you eat within it and with what ever foods allows you to stay at goal. If that includes bread with refined white flour, feel free. I would rather get my carbs from vegetables and nutritious sources.
Nuts and seeds flours I think are great for cakes, but for breads, I prefer Wheat / Soy Fiber and Flaxseed ( grinded ) these are much less expensive flours to the everyday cooking.
Sure it is. Just wait until the "punch down" cycle ends, before the machine starts to heat-remove the bread, shape into rolls, cover with a towel and allow second rising, then bake in your regular oven. I do it all of the time. I don't eat meat, but you can also mix and bake a meatloaf right in your bread machine-my mother does it all of the time!
I’m unclear in something. Once your off of Induction, what is the main issue with a small insulin jolt, such as you would cause eating a flat bread as your sandwich holder? I never checked, the veg tortilla, the pita, Nan, etc, are they all out of the parameters of Atkins. I’m sure you hear this all the time, but that Blaine’s Low carb show seems much less strict and yet, claims he was successful. Your opinion?
You may have added too much yeast, or the bread was a portion that was to large for your breadmaker. I have tried to stay away from the breadmaker box mixes and follow the recipes that I received with the bread maker. They are better suited for you bread machine and will give you the correct proportioning for its size. Good luck and please try again. I love mine and love the smell of fresh baking bread that spreads through the house.
Here is the way most bread makers (mine included) say that you should add in your ingredients:
Liquid (Water, Milk, Egg, Honey)
Butter or oil
Flour (all flours, oats, etc.)
Sugar and/or salt
Yeast
Other misc. ingredients (herbs, spices, etc.)
Used to do the packaged mixes, but went on the Internet and found loads of easy recipes for the bread machine. Have found the boxed bread machine mixes are a bit more expensive than a loaf of bread, but I save more when I make the bread from scratch and I know exactly what went into it and how fresh it is!
No, I know your wife went night night, and so the camera doesn’t show the end results. Your pan is about the size of your hand, so if you follow your math, its not the size of bread. And My opinion is just that, My opinion. It means as much as anyone else’s. Its simple.. If your ideas taste good and are satiating, then they will work. IF not, then we stray. Have you eaten bread in the last few years? Its a staple food, one that is not easily replaced.
