The video shows a recipe for bread with baking powder and no yeast. Is that correct?

I used recipes from no-knead bread and the bread baker's apprentice. The bread maker did a good job but you have to accept the shape which is not like a loaf.

Yes and I made it from the Lekue recipe and it was a bit dry. I re did it and added some yeast and it was fine. I have found the bread maker very useful as I love fresh bread but the supplied recipes from Lekue are not my favorites. I use several out of the book "Joy of cooking" and they all work great. I hope this helps. It seems everyone likes bread a different way. The best advice I can give it measure well, write doen what you dom and when you find really good results you will have the information to duplicate it.Thanks,Joe

Yes, that is correct. I use the recipe that comes in the box with the Lekue and it uses yeast. I am not totally convinced that this item is worth the money. I was not able to obtain a golden crust even though I followed the recipe in the book. Personally, I find it easier just to use a regular, small batch yeast bread recipe.

I'm not sure, but I think so. I've used their bread mix which comes with yeast.

I mixed my bread in a bread maker, just the dough, and my bread using an egg substitute turned out light and fluffy. I put it in the oven and completed baking.

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the ¼ cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

Actually, I used a regular hand mixer and baked it in a regular loaf pan. I didn't use a stand mixer, nor the bread machine. I might try the bread machine the next time, but my way was easier. Turned out great! Did that answer your question?

I did not. I just opened the box, took out the machine, wiped out the bread pan with a damp cloth and then dried it. Then I add all the ingredients for my first loaf and it was fantastic!

I followed the recipe and they turned out perfectly. Does the amount of baking powder have anything to do with altitude?

When I purchased these, there were baking instructions included. I followed the instructions given and my sweet breads turned out great. I don't remember the exact instructions, I think the oven temp is just a bit lower and cooking time is a bit shorter.

I just made my first loaf and it is dense and only half the loaf pan. (I've never ever made bread before so I wasn't sure what it should look like). I wonder if I should have soaked my yeast or used 120 degree water like the yeast bottle suggests... anyone else do this?

There are directions on the back of the box for making by hand and baking in the oven as well as bread machine directions. They seem to be simple to follow.

I have made the bread using the mix exactly as recommended, but never found it oily. It is, to my taste, no different than the many regular bread recipes I have used over the years. My one big mistake has been to over-proof it, an unforgiveable gaff which ruins an otherwise good bread. All that said, I can't think of a reason not to try it with less oil.

I haven't baked anything gluten free so I couldn't answer this question, but this is a great machine and all the recipes that I've tried come out great! You can look at allrecipes.com for gluten free recipes for bread makers.

While there are bread makers for gluten free mixes, I don't own one. That said, I use my regular machine set on the dough cycle to mix and let the dough rise. I then transfer to a loaf pan and bake in my conventional oven according to the directions on the package. This works great for me!

Bread bakes differently due to so many factors, like humidity, elevation, starter or commercial yeast, I hesitate to recommend a recipe. You could check the Great River website, and do a small loaf by reducing the recipe, see how you like it. For where I live, I need to add at least 2 tablespoons of water to the recipe I frequently use, which is from the Tasajara Bread book, the basic recipe. Since the 7 Grain absorbs more water, you need to add some, whereas with standard bread flour, probably not. I have made many delicious loaves baked in an ordinary loaf pan with the 7 Grain blend, I think the flavor is very good, and I always toast my slice. Always. Also, the bread is better 24 hours after baking, the moisture averages out thru the loaf, I just wrap it in a kitchen towel for a day, and after that it's kept in a plastic bag. I only bake one loaf at a time, but I change seeds, dates, chunky ground nuts, or even herbs, depending on what sounds good. I plan to start using my own wild yeast starter, so that will take me out of the loaf pan and onto a baking stone or a baguette baker. I have all the flours made by Great River, they do rise differently, the 7 Grain is a little more dense of a loaf, but it's great to have access to organic flours, and home made bread is worth the time. Good luck, and don't worry if you have a few loaves in the beginning that aren't terrific, that happens, it's an art, takes a little practice.

I make 3 loaves. Find a recipe though that uses only flour, water, salt and yeast. The dough "proofs", it doesn't rise. The yeast isn't mixed with water. Spritz the bread before you put it in the oven and it comes out perfect crusty on the outside and soft inside. I love this pan!!!!

NO. not successfully. Yeast is necessary for good bread making. This machine does a good job as is required. Alvin.

Not a problem. My normal loaf is a no knead bread dough recipe that uses more flour than that.
