Bread Maker Kenwood BM 250

Help!!!
I bought a bread maker a few days ago. I twice tried to bake bread, I did everything strictly according to the recipe, both times the bread was not baked, the middle was damp, although the dough rose. The second time, the sides and bottom were baked, and the crust remained completely white (baked on a quick bake program). The impression is that there is not enough heat. What to do? Is this how it will continue?

Good afternoon, I really have hp recently, but still I'll try to advise - baking something on the main program, for example, or here's the brioche bread from the Kenwood recipe book I really like on the sweet mode.
And at the expense of the fast mode - I only baked on it once, it seems that not all the recipes are suitable, but what recipe are you baking on the fast one?

Help!!!
I bought a bread maker a few days ago. Twice I tried to bake bread, I did everything strictly according to the recipe, both times the bread was not baked, the middle was damp, although the dough rose.

My advice to you, do not bake on the fast mode, nothing sensible will work on it. There is very little time to get up. The recipe book and program descriptions on page 27 explain the program. There you need 2-2.5 times more yeast so that the bread can somehow rise. Do you need it? Here on the forum we are gradually mastering the yeast in order to put less yeast. If you want to somehow speed up this process, then we have a slightly accelerated mode in x / n. On the program French push the button crust color several times until the time 2.35 appears on the screen, turn on start... It's still faster than main program, but the bread is good. And forget about the quick mode button at all, if you don't just want to transfer products.

And now about the sad. The stove worked without problems for about 1.5 years. Now glitches have begun - spontaneous starting of the engine. The engine does not turn on in normal mode, but as if with an effort, barely barely twists and hums with effort. And the worst thing is that this can happen during baking, the top is a normal view, but everything is turned inside out. If the matter is in the power electronics board, I'll try to find it myself, if the control board is then the stove is ejected. Repair will not be cost-effective. Taking it to the workshop is all the more not cost-effective, because I took it somewhere for 3 sput, and repairs 1.9 sput.
While I am suffering: I kneaded, defended, pulled out a spatula and for baking.

Hello everyone! was the owner of this miraculous kenwood250 stove for 3 whole days received it as a gift, then I lost my nerve and took it back to the store. the impression is terrible. Display - no backlight. when she was kneading, there was an impression that there was a tractor on the table. out of 6 attempts, similar to bread, 2 turned out .. maybe my hands do not grow from there. the dough kneads badly, probably because of the shape of the bucket. the bread does not rise well and is not baked. the beep is very loud and nasty. in general, we did not get it wrong. changed it to LG2001. I have been baking for 4 days and white and rye and the result is always excellent, which means that my hands still grow from where they should. now there is something to compare.

Good time everyone. I bought myself a Kenwood BM250 bread maker.happy as a boa constrictor. however, looking at this forum I found a lot of indignant. bought xn and she did not give hope. of course it is sad. first used the stove last week on Thursday. immediately tried the quick baked goods. now it is clear why this mode was rejected by everyone (and not only at Kenwood, at his brother Mulinex, he also rejected), but on Saturday he made a recipe from a book, ordinary white bread, recipe number 1. everything worked out with a bang. roll per kg, ingredients per kg .. healthy roll. nothing fell through, the crust is average .. taste
yesterday, looking at night, I took the same recipe and instead of 600g of wheat flour, I made 400g of wheat, 200g. rye and added about 20g of cheese. everything worked out with a bang! vopschem everything works, everything interferes, defends and bakes. why doesn't it work for others? the percentage of defects in technology has not been canceled once or twice - the possibility of not meeting the recipe. there could be a lot of water or little flour or just poor quality yeast. as for the ingredients themselves, I used:
wheat flour of the highest grade - Aleiko
rye flour - Aleiko
active dry yeast Seasoning.
Today I'll go to the store and buy more rye flour and coriander .. I want to try Borodinsky. but unfortunately there is no normal recipe for baking such bread. Darnitsky bread is still not Borodino bread. how to be

Hello, please help me find recipes for pie dough and pizza dough for Kenwood BM 250 bread maker. Thanks in advance)))

[angel-2008]

angel-2008, I really like this dough for pies and pies, sweet and not sweet, in cotton I do half the norm https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=18396.0

Hello dear bakers. I have been taking possession of the Kenwood-VM250 bread maker for a week now. I learn a new recipe every day. I do everything according to the recipe book. The bread is wonderful. I want to bake a cupcake, but I'm interested in a recipe without eggs. Tell me, pliz!

Good day, bakers! My mother-in-law has a PROBLEM !!! I gave her a stove 2 years ago, everything was fine, baked, kneaded the dough ... They didn't use it for a year. Yesterday I started making dough for pies (I decided to pamper guests at the dacha). I put the ingredients in the container, turned on program 8, the program number came on on the display and the cooking time was 1:30. Pressing the start button, the time began to show 0:58. The kneading began, at first with breaks, then continuously. This lasted 12 minutes, then the kneading stopped and ... the baking process began !!! The tena warmed up to the maximum temperature ... Stopped the process by turning off the switch. I decided to start the bread baking program # 1. Everything happened the same, the time dropped from 3:35 to 0:58. Maybe someone knows the reason?

An electronics failure, the service is unique.

Find and re-read the instructions. After entering the program, you need to press the small button at the bottom left "Start", and not the big button at the bottom in the center "Fast bread".

Good day.

I got this stove from my grandmother - they moved from the village and gave it a completely new one as unnecessary. I remember my first two "rolls" - anecdote))) These two are not even bricks, damn it or something, heavy. I abandoned it .. Then I stumbled upon this forum and began to try again, and the most interesting thing - it began to work)) But it did not bake often. Now I got used to it, I began to bake more often. Now we eat almost only bread from HP.But! There is a problem. And I look not alone:

1. Yes, the bucket pops out. I remember not knowing at all what to do with it. It was some kind of disaster. Zagina and ears and edges of the bucket. It got worse. Then she straightened the edges of the bucket and managed to cope with the stove. But even now it works fine, and sometimes pops up. The most unpleasant thing is that there are no guarantees that the bucket is normal and will not jump out at night.

2. When mixing, often does not mix the contents from the corners of the bucket. This is sooo annoying. Yes, when I bake on weekends, we are at home, I can follow the bun and straighten the flour with a spatula from the corners to the center. But for that, she and the automatic stove, to put it on, forget, remember, take out bread. Well, IMHO) And I also often put it at night, put it before bed - I go to bed right away, I can’t follow the kolobok. Or maybe put a little earlier? But to be honest, there are so many cases with two spinogs that the legs turn in the other direction from running around ... I wanted it to work well completely automatically. Today we got a bun with bran. Well, I haven't quite verified the recipe yet. But my mother began to eat a piece, she got a "piece" of salt ... Maybe the salt was saturated with moisture while the HP was on the timer, why then it didn't knead normally, it's not clear .. And I got a very sweet piece)) I don't know how this one the bread was kneaded .. And in the corners of the roll you can see a baked, unmixed mixture ..

3. Pikaooooo! There is no dispenser, and when he offers to fill in seeds, etc., it squeaks incredibly. I don't really hear it at night. But my mother-in-law will soon beat me. While culturally silent)))
In general, the problems are the same as those of other users .. Well, since the stove got a gift, that is, bezvozmezdno)), it will not be too bad to pick it up. The husband undertook to solve the problem with beeping, he even said that it would be possible to put on the switch - if you want it will beep, if you want it will not. We need to wait for him from a business trip. We will also solve the problem with the bucket jumping out together with him. Maybe we can think of something ...

But with the remains in the corners .. Has anyone thought of anything? What can be done? Only radical ideas come to my mind, such as tapping with a hammer and adjusting the shape ... But I'm afraid the Teflon will fall off) Change to another bucket? For what? I don’t want a round one, and they say it’s not very good ... maybe from other firms? True, the prices for buckets are like that ... It's easier for me to buy a new, problem-free HP with a dispenser than a bucket for this one for 2500 re.

So, if anyone has info on the bucket, I will be very grateful!)

[darsergevna]

darsergevna, my bucket does not jump out, it does not always remain in the corners, but so, occasionally.
And about the signal, bake on mode 2, it does not pick up there.

Hello dear bakers. I'll start from afar I have been using this bread maker for probably about 7 years already. I don’t remember exactly. I am very pleased with it. Oh, how she helped me out when my daughter and I lived all summer in a country house in the forest ...: wow: there are no shops ..... my husband only came for the weekend ... So she baked bread .... though my daughter recovered by 5 kg ... even at school they did not know when the bun rolled into the second grade Well, yes ... it's not about that .... Now I'm on another diet ... and I can have whole grain bread. I bake it very successfully on a warm-up program. Question: which program should I use to bake a cupcake? I will bake it with whole grain flour. On the Cupcake program or on the whole grain program?

[And, here is one nuance I want to ask the experienced owners of HP]

Hello, all owners of this model !!! I also bought a Kenwood BM 250 today! Satisfied is not the right word.
We brought it home and my husband asked to bake Quick bread, he saw in the recipes that it was baked for only 58 minutes. And yesterday I sat on the forum and read a lot of passions about this bread, but my husband was categorical, so to speak, and time propped up (it was about 7 pm) and if the first "pancake", then it's okay if lumpy. By the way, I immediately bought the scales in addition to HP (at a discount with HP they cost free).
While I was putting food in the oven, I was very worried. Well, you understand how we waited for this bread, even the HP window covered it with a towel, although there is a sin, we climbed in turn with a flashlight to peep. By the way, it took all the flour out of the corners. Frightened at the beginning by the presence of a white crust, but when taken out of the mold. it turned out that the sides were baked. In the end: Oh, miracle! Came up wonderfully, the smell is amazing !!!
And, here is one nuance I want to ask the experienced owners of HP, it is normal that the bucket stands a little obliquely in the oven itself, we immediately looked at the finished bread, thought because of this it would be baked more in places that are closer to the heating element, but it seemed to be baked evenly, but still the worm gnaws, all of a sudden it's a baby ?

Good evening everyone!
Recently I bought HP BM 250. We bake bread, I like everything, we refused from the store. One flaw in their recipe book is that there are no time norms for menu number 3, they printed from BM 350. I wrote letters to them twice, they just ignore it, the service is called "sold and forgotten" .... So I had to sit and write everything down while the "Darnitskiy" bread was baked. Created a table. Maybe someone will come in handy. As I understand it, if we bake rye bread, in which there is more rye flour than wheat flour, it cannot be upset. Therefore, after the second kneading, when the display shows 2.53 minutes before the end, remove the stirrer, and the bread will be what you need. Heating goes on for 30 minutes at the beginning, and periodically turns on during the ascent. This is good for rye flour.

FOR THOSE AT WHOM THE BUCKET JUMPS UP!
We have been using this stove for many years. Experience shows that all failures have very specific reasons. Including the popping out of the bucket. At first, they also just inserted it, but after a couple of years this problem arose. I thought for a long time, turned back my ears, tried to come up with a retainer ... Until it came ...))) There are holes on the springs, into which the tips of the handle from the bucket are perfectly inserted. And the handle itself is also springy. It is difficult to pull out at first, but with a certain skill it is quite normal. But the bucket sits like a glove !! I don’t think these holes are there by chance, it’s only strange that it’s not written about it anywhere ... Vooot, actually!

Thank you very much! Just now, I put rye flour breads on program 3 for a sample. I will definitely use your recommendations.

All people are brothers and should help each other! ;-)

Sergei, alas, I did not succeed in removing the stirrer. I did everything as you wrote it, but I put a lot of yeast on it. It was very hot in my kitchen. In general, the dough rose much earlier than baking and then sat down safely. But the bread turned out to be wonderful anyway. I wanted to feed the dog with it, but my husband didn’t give it away, I said vaguely, I’ll eat it myself. Tell me, did you knead the dough for dumplings, dumplings? Give proportions and stir in time.

Svetlana, you probably misunderstood me a little! If you explain it in a simple way, it turns out like this: put the ingredients, turn on the third program, heat for 30 minutes, then knead for 5 minutes, break for 5 minutes, then knead again for 15 minutes, the mixer stopped, you can remove it. The dough could not rise in any way! Try it!
You can also do it differently: put the necessary ingredients, turn on program 8 (dough), after kneading, remove the mixer, wait until it rises to the required size (2 + - hours), and then turn on program 11 (baking). It is also an option.
I haven't kneaded the dough for dumplings and dumplings yet, there was no need. But I think there are plenty of masters here on the forum who will share advice, and the Internet is a whole storehouse of wisdom and advice!

No, I understood you and took off the stirrer when the display was 2-48 (just read your message) I just poured a lot of yeast. Next time I think everything will be ok

Did you bookmark according to the instructions? First, water, then flour, sugar with yeast should not come into contact with the kneading. Therefore, on top of the flour, sugar in one corner, yeast in the other!

yes yes everything is so.

yes yes everything is so.

Then it is strange, after the second kneading, the dough should not have time to rise. The kneading was over, the bun was pushed aside, and the mixer was removed! What is your rye bread recipe, can I take a look?

Recipe from a pack of flour Kudesnitsa recommended for baking in a bread maker. Rye flour-230g, high-grade wheat flour-250g, salt 1-2 tsp, water 275 ml, vegetable oil 1 tbsp, apple cider vinegar 6% -1 tbsp, dry fast-acting yeast-1 tsp. Select bread weight 1kg with preliminary heating for 30 minutes. Something like that. But I thought that there would be little yeast and poured 2yu5chl.

Now it is clear! Next time everything will work out, the main thing is to stick to the recipe!

In our HP Kenwood 250, the best way for rye bread, I think it will be like this: Put on the eighth program (dough), as soon as the kneading ends, remove the mixer from the dough, and turn on the third program, and EVERYTHING! The advantage is that the first half hour, which was spent on heating the ingredients, will already be used to raise the dough, and in total, 2 hours 55 minutes will be used to raise the dough, and you will definitely not forget to remove the dough mixer and the top will not fall off! Now I will try it on "Darnitskiy" bread!

interesting method ... waiting for results

Well, the bread is ready, it is cooling ... No matter how I do it, the top is still flat, not like wheat, it settles when it starts baking, tell me, can you change the proportions, or is this the lot of rye bread from a bread machine? Of course, this does not affect the taste, only the beauty!

beautiful bread, but clearly stuck
reduce the proofing time and obtain a beautiful convex roof

Okay, there is an accelerated baking in the third program, 2 and a half hours, next time I'll try it. But something seems to me that it will be the same. My rye always comes out with such a top, no matter how it is baked.

I propose to arrange manually an additional kneading before baking. well, in the sense not before the baking itself, but around the time of the last program run. because if you remove the knives, then there is not a single kneading during the entire program, before baking ...

And in rye, it seems, you can't do a crunch, or I have incorrect information?

I put rye bread with bread kvass on the third program right away. There, according to the recipe, kvass must be poured with hot water and allowed to brew.So it comes out for us: we pour kvass into a baking dish, pour hot water, pour wheat and rye flour and other ingredients on top (flour floats on top, kvass will be like in a bath for half an hour). But I just think, take off the mixer immediately after the first kneading, or after the first kneading?

I, of course, was very late with the answer, but still I will say I bake rye on the third program, and I take out the knife after the last workout. in addition, you can grease the "roof" with some water or kefir a minute before baking.

and how is the bread? did it work out?

The same nonsense, flat top, maybe because I don't put vinegar?

And share the recipe for a pie dough for our bread machine, I didn't find anything in the instructions.

I was just cooking today PIE... Miracle. In general, any of your favorite dough, just know. which is one glass of liquid.

I baked it according to your recipe, it turned out very tasty, I only laid a double portion. Thank you so much

This is what I get. But the taste is not even anything.

Hello! I am now also in the slender ranks of the owners of x / p Kenwood. : yahoo: Two days already! I want to ask for help. Tell me where you can find recipes for cakes or biscuits adapted for our cotton, thank you for earlier!

I had a trouble with the stove. After 4 years of operation, the bucket broke. I began to wash and the shaft fell out .. I'll probably have to order a new one.

Hello ! Previously, I also had such a problem until I bought an electronic scale (the simplest, but very convenient for bread) and now there are no problems with bread. I took the scales at Foxtrot (sale) for 75 UAH. I used to use a regular measuring cup and realized that this was nonsense. Sometimes you pour the flour into a glass more densely, sometimes it is not very dense and you see different breads because of this.
I have a bread maker for 5-6 years and I constantly bake bread. Now there are no problems with either white or black bread.

White bread (1 kg.).

Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.
Water - 330 ml.
Salt - 1.5 tsp.
Flour - 605 gr.
Powdered milk - 2 tbsp. l.
Sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
Yeast - 1.5 tsp.

I put the mode "2" and the time "accelerate"

When the oven starts kneading the dough, I immediately remove the flour from the corners of the mold with a plastic stick.
It turns out such a loaf. A little later I will show you black bread with malt.

And here is the gray (black) bread.
If you do not add malt, you get gray (as in the USSR) bricks. If you add malt, then there will be black bread.
1 tablespoon of malt is dark gray and 2 tablespoons of black as Borodinsky.
Now the recipe (1 kg. Loaf).

Water - 365 ml.
Salt - 2 tsp
White flour - 395 gr.
Rye flour - 125 gr.
Yeast - 1.5 tsp
Dry malt as desired.

I put the mode "2" and the time "accelerate"
When the oven starts kneading the dough, I immediately remove the flour from the corners of the mold with a plastic stick.

Dear forum users, hello everyone! Help me out my stove gives error e01, then nnn. and at different times, then at the end when baked at the beginning. I'll click it then everything is normal. What is the problem, who had this?
