Home Made Dough in the Bread Tube?

[susanr613]

Hi -

I have a bread tube and would like to put my own dough in it instead of the stuff in a can. Any tips?

Thanks!

The biggest thing is to only fill it 1/2 to 2/3 full - you would have to be the judge of that, knowing how much the particular recipe you are making will rise.

Bread usually takes about 45 minutes in the bread tube - but you can check it by pulling the lid off (if it hasn't popped off!) and tapping on the end of the bread, listening for that "hollow" sound of baked bread.


If you are making a quick bread - this is a little trickier, but I've done it. Make sure that the end of the tube is tightly wrapped in foil. I usually put foil over the end, and then put the lid on over the foil, and then wrap more foil around it. (does that make sense?) Again, check it after 40-45 minutes.

Hi there!

Great question! Using your own dough in a bread tube is definitely possible and can result in delicious homemade bread. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

1. Make sure your dough is the right consistency. It should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. This will help it fill the tube evenly and bake properly.

2. Roll your dough into a log shape that will fit into the tube with some room to spare. You can also experiment with different shapes, such as braiding the dough, to create different designs in your bread.

3. Grease the inside of the tube with cooking spray or butter before placing the dough inside. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the tube and make it easier to remove once baked.

4. Follow the baking instructions for your particular bread tube, as different brands and sizes may have slightly different guidelines. Generally, the bread will need to bake for about 30-40 minutes in a preheated oven.

I hope these tips help you successfully use your own dough in the bread tube. Happy baking!
