Ps. I made the frozen mixed berry jam to the recipe and it came out runny. Are the berries supposed to be added in their frozen state or should they be defrosted first? The recipe doesn’t say, except that they are frozen. Is there anything you can do to retrieve them when they turn out runny?

How do you increase the rising time? I used menu 07 and thought it was all pre programmed.

In reply to Melissa. Hi Melissa, Wholemeal and Darker Loaves require more rising time. If you are finding that your Loaves are a little flat you can help them rise by making the the rising time a little longer! MCB

I made the 50:50 rye and wholemeal loaf and it was flat on top. It didn’t rise like the Lauke german grain bread mix did. Is this normal?

In reply to Jack. Hi Jack, We don't actually have any information regarding making pasta dough with the SD-2501 - though there is a function for pizza dough. There are however a number of recipes on the web regarding making pasta dough in your bread maker. Best of luck and please let us know how it turns out! MCB

In reply to Martin. Hi Martin, on the bottom of page nine in the manual is a box with some instructions on using a premix. Basically it breaks the bread mix into three categories, yeast included in mix, brioche and yeast separate sachet to mix. Just follow the steps in the category of mix that you have! Happy baking!

I would like to make a Soy and linseed loaf from a premix. Please could you advise which menu I should use and the amount of water for 500g of flour. Thank you

We have owned the 2501 for about 10 months and have been very happy with the results. The only negative is that the mixing blade has failed (becomes loose on the spindle and detaches during mixing)and is not covered under warranty. Replacement is $46!!! Considering a new machine costs under $200, that’s pretty rich for a part that lasts less than a year …
