After a long day, I'm very tired. So I'll just settle for something safe and easy to do. No more melting of butter and all that cleaning. I'll do a 60% wholemeal bread. So I'm baking the same bread as Bread No.9.
I quickly measured the necessary ingredient. Pour them into the container. Then place it in the breadmaker. Set the timer. I'm ready to wake up to the smell of a 60% wholemeal bread tomorrow morning.
Just as I was washing all the measuring cups etc, I noticed that there is something that I forgot to add... the kneading blade !!!!
Without this all important equipment, the breadmaker won't work! And my hopes of a nice breakfast filled with butter, jam and a freshly baked bread will be ruined. I'm not to let this happened.
I immediately switch to the saving private Ryan mode. Switch off the breadmaker. Desperately dig a hole in the middle of all the ingredient for the metal piece that will allow the kneading blade to slide in. The yeast which I had strategically placed in a hole right in the middle of the ingredient was dispersed in all directions. Finally the kneading blade slip right in. I reburied it under a heap of ingredient.
Oops in my desperation, I must have killed some of the yeast. After pondering for just a second, I decided that it would do no harm to add just another pinch of yeast into the container. Will there be an overdose of yeast i.e. will I be getting another Bread No.5 tomorrow? Or will there be insufficient yeast to even raise the dough to a decent height (just like my Bread No.3)?
Stay tune for more baking actions.
