Bread Making Machine

[barrys]

Does anyone know where I can buy a domestic bread-making machine for 1-2 lb (up to 1 kg) loaves.

If they're not available here, is there anyone who would have enough room in their luggage to bring one with them?

Barry there is a topic on here in feeding time called bread making
the same question was asked and the answer was lots of domestic electrical appliance stores sell them in BKK but no where specific
someone posted he had seen one in tesco lotus but not confirmed
With yur Thai language skill i would earhole a manager at home pro and get them to order one

You can buy them in Paragon department store section, in the kitchen electrical bit, 5th floor I think. They have a choice of about 3 or 4.

This baby has been one of my best purchases..I brought it to Thailand from Sweden..I am not sure if it is available in Thailand, but if you find it, don´t hesitate to get yourself one of these..

makes up to 1,5kg bread, enough for my family of five throughout the day..

usually I bring dry yeast powder with me and buy wheat in Thailand..

There's a much cheaper way to do it - without a machine.
A friend has been making this 'no knead' bread now for a few weeks with great success, and it tastes good too. It does need to be prepared the day before, and you might find the cost of using a machine is less than the oven of course. But here goes -

Makes 1 x 1 and a half pound loaf.

3 cups all purpose or bread flour. Bit extra for dusting.
Quarter teaspoon instant yeast.
One and a quarter teaspoons salt.
Cornmeal of wheatbran as needed.

Combine flour, yeast and salt in bowl. Add one and five eighths cups water and stir until blended. Dough will be shaggy and sticky. Rest the dough at about 70 degrees for 12 to 18 hours.

Dough is ready when the surface dots with bubbles. Lightly flour work surface. Place dough on it, dust with more flour, fold dough over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and rest for 15 minutes.

Shape dough quickly into a ball using just enough flour to keep it from sticking. Coat a smooth cotton towel with flour, wheatbran or wholemeal, put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or meal. Cover with another towel and leave to rise for 2 hours. Dough should double in size.

Meanwhile get oven up to 450 degrees (f) Cook the dough in a pre-heated heavy lidded pot - cast iron, enamel or ceramic. 30 minutes covered, then 15 to 30 minutes without the lid.

Before cooking the dough might look messy, but is OK. Just give it a shake when in the pot to even it out a bit.

Spread with real butter and thick strawberry jam -- (sorry, I added that bit.)
