I've never used a bread machine before. But lately i've been trying to make bread, and making an enormous mess, so i figured, why not? For similar reasons (ie, why not) i've decided to make rye bread on the machine's maiden voyage. Ok, so it's not really a maiden. But 15+ years of sitting on a shelf have given it back it's virginity - it's out of practice. Unfortunately, it seems the machine really is out of practice. Either that, or the recipe i used for rye bread was crap. Tastes like fresh bread... but not very rye-y, nor delicious. Tastes like wheat bread, and a little bit burnt.
Bread Machine (similar robot model):
The bread wasn't bad at all! It wasn't great, but not crap! Maybe you need to try a different recipe.
ReplyDeletePS: R2 was equiped with oil, a turch, and enough bottoms to enter a complicated bread recipe, so I think definitely it would have been able to produce a great rye bread, as depicted in "Return of the Jedi" when R2 is offered as a great baker to Jabba the Hutt
hahaha, i love it!
