P.S. I've had fun with two different bread machines (USA and Japanese) both worked somewhat. You need to really measure out but more important is which order the mix goes in. Some like the liquids on the bottom. Others like it on top. I've found the Japanese machines like liquids on the bottom. BUT you really need to watch the dough ball form. (It gets messy here) Open the lid and watch the ball form in the early part of the mix. Add more flour to get a really nice sticky ball rolling around. This should happen within the first two mins. Sticky is okay. If you find it's dry and just spinning in the middle without touching the sides or corners then there will be dry dough at the end of the cook cycle. Okay but not nice looking.
Some vids to get you started; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKf1U0lSST8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-pfJeofqy0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2K-Jam6jr0
* Oh, Just in case you have a "Japanese" button menu. The buttons can be figured out by comparing to other machines of similar size. (Or ask a Japanese speaking friend to translate); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WmMjp_TYcQ
Usually this happens when the mixture is too dry. Flour contains varying amounts of moisture, thus water needed also changes. Follow User Manual to help solve the problem or add additional water one tablespoon at a time. The dough should be a little more tacky than conventional bread dough. This will allow the dough to flow out more evenly and be less dense. This is a very important step that many persons miss.
Make sure you are following the recipe very carefully. You have to have the proper type of four, and yeast. Make sure you are using flour that is called bread flour. This type of flour has higher glutent than cake flour. Cake flour would make a heavier bread.
As for the yeast, there is a special yeast for bread machines. Regular yeast would be too slow acting for most bread machines.
Hi,
The instruction manuals for Panasonic products are at the Panasonic UK
website. The address where I found the manual for the Panasonic
SD-BT10P is here:
Just fill in your model number, click enter. Look below the form where
it says "Available Downloads", click View 4.2MB. On the page that
opens, click I accept, on the left, a little way down from the top of
the page, then click on "view" and it will open. You can save the file
by going to the top of the page, click on the second icon from the left
at the top of the page. The one that looks like an old floppy disc. I
would suggest renaming the file so you know what it is, then save it to
wherever you save your files and you're done!
Problems? Email me and I'll attach it to an email for you.
