Another Bread Machine Problem

[Kenster61]

Hi,

Okay, I'm going to get a handle on this bread machine if it's the last thing I do. My last loaf didn't rise and I was wondering if it was because I put the sugar on top of the yeast? Anyone?

I have only made 2 loaves so far, but both worked. The directions that came with mine say that you have to add the indgrendinest in a spefic order, or it will not. This is what I do...

First mix all the wet ingredients up in a mixing bowl. Then pour them in to the machine.

Next mix all the dry ingredinents EXCEPT YEAST in a mixing bow, then pour it on top of the wet stuff, but do not mix.

Then pour the yest on top of the dry stuff in such a way that it does not get wet at all.

Close it up, turn it on, and thats it. I assume most machines work about the same, so maybe that will help you....

I made my first gluten-free loaf in my new breadmaker last night! The top did cave in just a little bit, but I think it was due to too much water. Anyway, I followed the order the instructions for my breadmaker gave: wet ingredients first, then salt, sugar, and other dry ingredients, then make a small hole in dry ingredients for yeast to sit in. The instructions said to put the salt in first before the other dry ingredients so it wouldn't react with the yeast prematurely. I added all of my ingredients one at a time directly to the bread machine pan - no mixing before they went in. Hope that helps!

Some of those bread machine maker are tempermental. I don't even use them anymore. What I have used is recipes from the Roben Ryberg book called The Gluten Free Kitchen. This has been the best book that I've bought and I have alot of them already but her book is easy to read and simple and breads, cakes, pies, and everything comes out good. She just doesn't use a breadmaker.
