Measure milk, eggs, 1/4 c melted butter, sugar, salt, flour & yeast into bread pan in order for your machine. Put in breadmaker on dough cycle. 2. Turn out dough, roll into 18 x 14 inch (45 x 35 cm) rectangle. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle filling ingredients : brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, pecans, apple – you can add anything you like! Starting at wide end, roll dough tightly into log. Slice into 12 equal sized pieces. 3. Grease inside of 2 loaf pans with butter. I prefer stoneware because the topping won’t burn fast. In the bottom of each, sprinkle about 1/3 c brown sugar and 3 separate tbsps of butter. You can also add more of any of the filling ingredients if you want. Place 6 rolls in each pan. 4. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft free place for 30-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 5. Bake on lowest rack for 35-40 minutes or until golden and top sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Let stand for 5 min. Turn out buns onto platter. Ideally serve warm!

About Author
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
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.
Oh, I used your recipe. Oh, it is absolutely delicious. ShyShy (my neice) are making some right now. The dough is resting right now. I showed her your video.
I’m so glad they worked out for you. Did you add the icing sugar drizzle too or just keep to my recipe?
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.
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!
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!
I like your video. I just made bread machine bread rolls for the first time the other day with the included instruction book. They were good, but I am going to try your technique now! Mine had a powdered sugar icing, but I like your idea of the brown sugar deliciousness better!
And hey, that’s where the bread goes ;-)
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 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.)
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.
