I bake bread with Panasonic Bread Machine that I bought 3 years ago. I struggle to find a good recipe and I was using this recipe from the blog I wrote while ago but I wasn't totally satisfied with that and now, I think I am settled with this one. Bread Flour : about 200g Gluten Flour : about one Table Spoon or 10g Whole Grain flour : 40g The total flour should be 250g Sugar : 2 table spoons Salt : 1 tea spoon Butter : about 10g Milk : 170 cc Yeast : little less than 1 tea spoon I use brown sugar, sea salt and almond milk for healthier option.
