  1. I just made the Speedy Sourdough Loaf from your cookbook in my Cusinart Compact bread machine. The recipe calls for 3 Tbsp water but when the dough cycle was done it was just a crumbly flour mixture. I think it needed more liquid. I put back in machine and added more water but guessed at the amount. Is this an error in the recipe or something I did not have correct.? I believe my starter is good. I love your book and ideas.

    Reply

    1. Hi Joy, I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe. If you check out the troubleshooting section in the book, I do mention that sometimes you need to add a tablespoon more of water (or milk or other liquid the recipe calls for) if the dough looks too dry. Depending on how you measured the flour, the consistency of your sourdough starter, and the humidity of your environment, there can be differences in the texture of the flour to liquid ratio. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on it until the machine is finished with that first mixing. I hope that helps!

    1. Hi Patsy,
      Yes, you are correct. You'll use all the liquid from the can of pineapple, do not drain it.

  3. I love Tiffany’s Bread Machine Cookbook. I have made most of the recipes. They turn out wonderfully every time. I especially love the Steakhouse, Fluffy Frocaccia, Rye, and Buttery Dinner Rolls. I keep recommending the book to the bread machine Facebook group. Currently I am looking for a recipe to make baguettes. Anyone have a great recipe? I just bought a baguette baking pan.

    1. Oh, thank you SO much, Chris. This comment just makes my day! I haven't tried baguettes yet but I am working on a French bread recipe for the bread machine. I'll add the baguettes to my list.
