Panasonic Automatic Bread

Making soft fresh bread?

I have an Panasonic Automatic bread maker, and although I love fresh bread (and i mostly stick to making whole wheat), I have made whole wheat and white with it, and have both times, gotten tough bread. Which is "probably" how it's suppose to turn out, but compared to the softness of store-bought bread, I'd like to produce a similar result. So, does anyone know an ingredient I could be adding to produce softer bread, more suitable for cold sandwiches?

For fresh bread, be sure and baste your bread, as soon as it comes out of the machine, with melted butter. BUT, all home-made bread dries out because it doesn't have all the chemicals in it that keep store-bought bread "fresh". The chemicals in the store-bought bread is to bread what formaldehyde is to a corpse - it keeps it longer.

After baking your bread, bring to room temperature and then seal and refrigerate. When ready to eat it, slice it and zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds - no longer. That will "freshen" the home-made bread and make it soft again. Any longer and it will toughen. If you don't zap it, it will not be soft either.

Hope that helps.
