Jenny Morris talks about the Ma Baker Pro:

The Ma-Baker Pro Bread Maker from Mellerware is the ideal solution for home-made breads, cakes and jams as well as pasta and pizza doughs. It is useful for busy mothers like me who have large families to feed as well as for business professionals with little time to spare. There are so many special features. The 15 hour timer function allows me to wake up to the sweet smell of bread every morning while with the non-stick removable bread pan even my gluten free breads and cakes pop out hassle free. The fruit and nut dispenser automatically adds ingredients at the right time making my life simpler and more delicious.
This product is a real workhorse and also a budget saver because it is so simple to prepare delicious bread. To make life even simpler Mellerware has included a recipe book full of tasty yet simple recipes that require minimal preparation time.
I not only use the Ma-Baker to bake bread but I make my dough for pizzas and other special breads with it. These can be baked on a pizza stone and those bigger special breads I just pop in the oven.
I have found the product so versatile that is has become an essential part of my kitchen. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.

Summer Olive Bread Rolls

Ingredients

  • 5 c (1250ml) cake flour
  • 5 tsp (25ml) sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) salt
  • 1 sachet (10g) instant yeast
  • 2 1/2 c (625ml) tepid water
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 c (180ml) mission or calamata olives
  • 1/4 c (60ml) chopped fresh rosemary

 

 

Method

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees C.

Put your water into the MaBaker Pro. It should be under body temperature.


Simply add all your dry ingredients - your flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast and rosemary - into the Ma Baker Pro. Switch on SETTING 12 – “THE PIZZA DOUGH MIXTURE”.


Open up the lid (while the cycle is in motion) and pour in your lovely flavoursome extra virgin olive oil, after it has mixed for around 2 minutes.

The olive oil will give your bread a beautiful flavour and gorgeous texture.

Once the mixing cycle is completed the Ma Baker Pro will let your bread prove until it's plump and well-risen.

While you wait you can stone your juicy olives by giving them a gentle press with the palm of your hand and then tear them in half and remove the stone.

Toss in your olives.

Once the cycle is complete remove the bread dough from the Ma Baker Pro and divide into 18 equal pieces on a floured surface.

Lovingly roll them into balls between the palm of your hand and the surface, pressing gently but firmly.

Let them prove on a floured baking tray for 15 min, brush with a mixture of water and olive oil and bake for 10 - 15 min or until golden brown.

 
Watch your family arrive in your kitchen with excited eyes.
