Hi TFL members, truly grateful for all the help i have got from the members of this team. I have learnt so much. - Thank you!
I was wondering if there is a way of making bread in an Instant Pot / Toaster Oven
I have an IP which has the 7 features a small 3 qt one with a yogurt maker button. - no airfryer or any of those fancy features
My Toaster oven is Master Craft brand and the temp goes upto 450F.
Is it possible to just use these to make bread.
I do not have much strength in my hands to hold a cast iron skillet on my glass top cooking range.
Can i use an ordinary skillet, or make the dough in the IP and when she has risen put her in the Toaster Oven for a few mins.
Just making only a loaf at a time and do not like to use my big oven.
I managed to get the Cromarty Bread recipe of Andrew Whitley from PMCcool - Paul as i do not have the book at my Library. Thank you.
Thank you for reading my post - appreciate any help
.... in a toaster oven. We had our kitchen remodeled last summer, and it was out of commission for about 6 weeks. We got an XL toaster oven, and my husband set up an old fashioned outdoor summer kitchen for me. Whatta guy!
You can read what I did here and here. In both cases, the bread came out great!
Thankyou Justkeeps for the great pics and recipes
The bread looks nicely risen in a toaster oven.
The setup made by your husband is lovely.
I was wondering how to go about baking in a toaster oven
Thankyou for the encouragement
I don't know why you'd need an Instant Pot to make bread. All you need is flour, water, salt, and yeast (or sourdough starter). Mix with a fork or your hands. Rising as per recipe. Place in any oven proof container that fits in your toaster oven and bake.
I suggest Jim Lahey's no knead bread to start. You can use a saucepan with a lid to sub for dutch oven if your toaster oven won't take a dutch oven.
Hi Ambimom
Thank you i had seen where they used IP to make the dough rise or use a steam method (like they make the steam rolls) then after it has risen to max, then put the dough in a toaster oven.
Thank you for your suggestion
I’ve baked bread in my toaster oven many times but it’s a Breville Smartoven.
thank you Melesine, mine is a toastmaster version - thank you
I have an instant Pot and a small Black&Decker Toast-R-Oven. I usually bake in my oven, but I am also curious to know if I can save energy using my toaster, especially since I only make small 150 gram mini-loaves since I am still learning and doing it mostly for fun. I still am struggling to achieve a good over rise in the oven and found I got a better rise steam'ing in my IP, but of course, no crust. I haven't gotten a good rise in my toaster, so next I am going to try steaming in the IP and transfer'ing to the toaster. As I said, I am just having fun with this.
