The 1st time I made I put the chips when the beep sounded. Another time was when before the baking cycle starting and it was still mixing I poured the chips in.

My kids are sick, so my boy did not test the bread, but my hubby did not like the bits. My girl says its is nice last nite but did not ask for it again today. I love it very much thou it is a little dry now. If I have the chance I would want to bake it again (fearful of no one eating with me)<br /><br />thanks for the info on the yeast too. Previously my mother use red man yeast and my hubby said the bread has a hint of sour taste, thus i change to bake king. This time he say he did not detect any sour hint but I am not sure if it is covered by the chocolate.<br /><br />很感激你無私的幫助。謝謝。Will try venture into other breads soon. Have a nice weekend.sherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112381909989864683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-92039681402817019222009-09-04T06:57:07.770+08:002009-09-04T06:57:07.770+08:00Hi Sherlyn, I am not sure whether I am correct, bu...Hi Sherlyn, I am not sure whether I am correct, but I think it depends on the texture of the hazelnut you use...if it is finely grounded, maybe can add in together with the flour, but if it is chopped (into small bits), then it should be added with the chocolate chips. Otherwise it may absorb the moisture from the dough(?)<br />I am using Bake King too, I store it in the fridge. However, do note that after sometime (like say 6 months) even before the expiry date, if you notice that the dough doesnt proof well (takes a longer time to proof) it is best to use a new bottle. <br /><br />Do take care, I had the same experience a few years ago, both my kids and myself were down with chicken pox one after another, and I was all alone as my husband was away for weeks. It was a nightmare.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-75039257125748084992009-09-03T23:12:07.865+08:002009-09-03T23:12:07.865+08:00Dear HHB, I finally made it.

I put in the ground hazelnut together with the bread flour, cos I treat it as dry ingredients, only chocolate chips I put in later. Do you know what is the difference if i add in first or after then 2nd kneading.<br /><br />May I also ask .. what is the brand of the yeast u using? I read it in one of the post's comments, but now I cant seem to recall. I am using Bake King and I wonder how do I store it since it is in a bottle. I now putting it in the fridge.<br /><br />Too tired to post up my bakes. Recently not sure busy with what and currently my both kids are down with chicken pox .. wonder if it will be my turn after them ....<br /><br />TIA.sherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112381909989864683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-39797185187599205442009-08-31T23:31:05.395+08:002009-08-31T23:31:05.395+08:00*sigh * it seems that bluesky is a better breadmak...*sigh * it seems that bluesky is a better breadmaker than the red man one. ok . ..

I have ground hazelnut at home, and maybe using it since my kids may not eat with nuts in it. May I ask you, if you are making bread with 250g bread flour, would u still use the 3 hrs cycle? Since it is small bread , u think can shorten the baking time (seems usually is an hour with breadmaker).sherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112381909989864683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-75285549660178846322007-09-23T23:00:00.000+08:002007-09-23T23:00:00.000+08:00Thanks Happy Homebaker, will try it out.rgdsJenThanks Happy Homebaker, will try it out.<BR/><BR/>rgds<BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-77508393663318348282007-09-21T22:56:00.000+08:002007-09-21T22:56:00.000+08:00Hi Jen, I am afraid I have not tried this recipe b...Hi Jen, I am afraid I have not tried this recipe by hand...as such, I am not really comfortable to give any advise on making this bread by hand. Have you been making bread? If yes, the following should give u a rough idea: first mix all the dry ingredients, except the chocolate chips and hazelnuts, in a mixing bowl. Then make a well in the centre, and add in the other wet ingredients (milk, egg and butter). Mix to form a soft dough. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead until the dough is smooth, elastic and not sticky. This will probably take any time between 15 to 20 mins. Then, add the chips and nuts to the dough and knead till just incorporated. Let the dough rise for 1 ~ 1.5hrs in a clean bowl covered with cling wrap...then knock out the dough to release the air. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise (covered with cling wrap) for another 1 hr. You may probably bake at 180 ~200 degC for 20 ~ 30mins or so. Since the recipe does not indicate the temperature, you will have to watch your bread and gauge. Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-1166470062382792052007-09-21T16:41:00.000+08:002007-09-21T16:41:00.000+08:00Hi,Love your bread.
