I’m going to depart from the normal contents of this blog for a second to hopefully help some other kiwi breadmakers.
We tried making bread a few times recently and found that it came out really stodgy. “Why,” we asked, “was our bread stodgy?”
I found the answer deep in our manual. “Ingredients should be at room temperature, 20-25 degrees celsius“.
Where in New Zealand is room temperature in winter 20-25 degrees celsius?
So, the next time I made bread I stuck the water (a significant ingredient) in the microwave and using a thermometer, heated it up to 25 degrees. It’s important to note that if you heat the ingredients too much, the yeast won’t work, so bear this in mind.
The bread was good, but far from perfect.
The next time, I decided to heat the flour. “But you’ll just cook it,” was the comment from other members of my household (and blog), and yes you will. But the first stage in cooking anything is heating it, and that’s all we want to do.
So I heated the water and flour to 25 degrees in the microwave.
The bread was excellent, but still not perfect.
This was when I realised that if the rooms temperature is below 20 degrees, then as soon as you take the ingredients out of the microwave, their temperature is dropping.
So this time I heated the flour and water to 30 degrees to allow some space for the temperature to drop.
The bread was absolutely perfect.
So, peteandmegan hot tip. If you live somewhere where the room temperature is below 20 degrees and your bread is stodgy, then you need to heat up the ingredients before adding them to the breadmaker.
Mmmmm, fresh bread.
I’m so grateful for the information you’ve shared. It’s like receiving a thoughtful gift from someone special.

how the act of sexual intercourse itself (the “primal scene”) bears a striking resemblance to violent struggle,??? ??marked as it is by raw physicality,
This is most obviously displayed as arrogant entitlement,but exaggerated victimhood is another persistent feature of narcissistic grandiosity that can be hard to detect and even harder to understand.?? ??

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I found this in my hunt for something concerning this.

Can I simply just say what a comfort to find a person that really knows what they’re talking about on the web. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people really need to check this out and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular given that you definitely have the gift.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you’d have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you can fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
The perspective is incredibly valuable to me. Thanks for opening my eyes to new ideas.
The work is both informative and thought-provoking. I’m really impressed by the high quality of The content.
