5 Surprising things you can make in your Bread Machine
We human beings are undoubtedly creatures of habit, and we are very good at problem solving, creating tools for specific purposes and using those tools to the best effect...
But, we also excel at thinking outside the box, and realising the potential of certain things to solve other problems, to help us do other things and open up new worlds of possibility. Once in a while something comes along that reminds us of that very fact; through ingenious invention, intelligent design and the appliance of a little good, old-fashioned evolution we see something like a Panasonic Breadmaker!
Even though they have ‘breadmaker’ in name, in reality they can be so much more. For example, the SD-YR2540 Fully Automatic Breadmaker has a staggering 32 automatic programmes, dual internal and ambient temperatures sensors and a fruit, nut and yeast dispenser. It also has intuitive and easy to use touch controls and a non-stick Fluorine coated inner pan, which has specially placed ribs to replicate the kneading of an artisan baker. All of this is housed in a beautifully finished outer body measuring just 408 x 252 x 362 mm.
That’s all impressive and when it comes to baking your own delicious bread at home there are few bread machines that can compete, but what about things other than bread?
It just so happens that the Panasonic bread machines are perfectly suited to making a range of other things too, and the culinary team in Panasonic Experience Fresh have been busy creating some genuinely amazing recipes designed to prove that very thing, helping you to unleash the true potential of your compact bread maker.
Gluten-Free Bread
Make use of the gluten-free program on all Panasonic breadmakers, such as the SD-B2510, by creating a crusty loaf or a heavenly fruit bread, freshly prepared and tailored specifically to your dietary needs or tastes. Explore our list of delicious gluten-free bread machine recipes to find firm favourites and new discoveries alike with the only real problem being trying to resist the temptation to make them every day!
Pear, Almond and Vanilla Tart
A simple but wonderfully sweet Pear, Almond and Vanilla Tart Recipe that makes the most of the easy to use ‘manual kneading’ mode of the SD-R2530 Automatic Breadmaker. No kneading required, just use your breadmaker to make the dough and then layer the wonderfully sweet almond cream and pears on top of the tart and bake for 35/40 minutes. Then decorate with mascarpone whipped cream and enjoy!
Reblochon Burgers
TThe SD-Y2550 breadmaker is also ideal for a delicious take on a classic burger with its variety of manual and steam programs. Dive into our Reblochon Burger Recipe and use your breadmaker to make delicious burger buns and patties from scratch. Just top with Reblochon cheese for an exciting twist and dig in!
Autumn Plum Jam
It isn’t just in cakes where the Panasonic’s bread machines’ hidden talents lie, as they are also the perfect appliance for unleashing your talents for making homemade jams and compotes as this wonderfully seasonal Autumn Plum Jam proves. Amazing on hot, buttered toast, freshly baked rustic scones or as a filling for your favourite homemade cakes, making it is a breeze with the SD-YR2550 Automatic Bread Machine’s jam and compote programs and non-stick inner pan. But why stop with plums? Over in our busy ideas kitchen there is a whole range of jams and compotes to keep you busy throughout the year!
Sourdough in your bread machine and more!
Have you ever yearned to make your own sourdough but been put off by the idea of getting it just right, not to mention clearing up afterwards? You might be surprised to learn that the SD-YR2540 Fully Automatic Breadmaker has sourdough and sourdough starter programs for that very reason. All you need to do is add your ingredients, select your desired program and let the SD-YR2540 do all the hard work. Your bread machine can even help to make traditional homemade English crumpets in the same way with its simple dough setting, just add the ingredients and off you go!
So here are just a few ideas to set you and your bread machine on the path to enlightenment together. As you can see the Panasonic ZX2522 is much more than the sum of its parts, designed to do a lot more than its name suggests and open up a world of fresh home cooking that goes far beyond the obvious...
