BREAD MACHINE RECIPES
How to convert from one size Bread Machine to another!
If you look to the left, you will see inks to some AWESOME Bread
Machine Recipes!
If you find a recipe that looks REEEEALLY good and it is for a
different size machine, have no fear, I have listed some options
below!
One of the most puzzling challenges of Bread Machine Baking is
converting a recipe from one size machine to another.
There are four common loaf sizes:
1 lb. which uses about 2 cups of flour
1 1/2 lb. which uses about 3 cups of flour
2 lb. which uses about 4 cups of flour
2 1/2 lb. which uses about 5 cups of flour
Here is a table to help you figure out the math:
From a 1 lb loaf multiply by:
X 1.5 for a 1 1/2 lb loaf
X 2 for a 2 lb loaf
X 2.5 for a 2 1/2 lb loaf
From a 1 1/2 lb loaf multiply by:
X .667 for a 1 lb loaf
X 1.333 for a 2 lb loaf
X 1.67 for a 2 1/2 lb loaf
From a 2 lb loaf, multiply by:
X .5 for a 1 lb loaf
X .75 for a 1 1/2 lb loaf
X 1.25 for a 2 1/2 lb loaf
From a 2 1/2 lb loaf, multiply by:
X .4 for a 1 lb loaf
X .6 for a 1 1/2 lb loaf
X .8 for a 2 lb loaf
Converting recipes between different size bread machines can be a
challenge!
This is especially true when converting to a smaller machine, since
you can accidentally overload your machine... NOT a good
thing!
After using the chart above, with odd measurements. Use your best
judgment when you measure out your ingredients and double check the
amounts.
Here are some other guidelines to help you:
* 1-pound loaf takes about 7/8 cup liquid and 2 3/4 cups flour.
* 1.5-pound loaf takes about 1 cup liquid and 3 cups flour.
* 2-pound loaf takes about 1 1/3 cup liquid and 4 cups flour.
