Q&A for How to Make Bread in the Microwave (Simple Method)

I also did, I had to add another 1/4 cup of flour to get it to the right consistency, and it cannot be microwaved for 5 minutes because it started to burn. I cooked mine for around 2 and 1/2 minutes.

Yes, it is. Obviously it is better baked, but this is also a good option.

It's a general rule for baking when swapping flour. It's not a large amount of salt, so you'll be fine. Just apply common sense.

This version cannot.

You don't have to, you can use a small bowl and the bread will be just fine.

No, it should not.

Yes, you can!

Yes, but eliminate the additional baking powder. Consider reducing the salt, as self-rising flour contains both baking powder and a bit of salt.

For mixing, yes. For cooking in the microwave, check if the container is microwave safe. If yes, then it is fine to cook in.

Yes, but it may take longer to finish baking.

It shouldn't, as long as it isn't too runny. It may increase cooking time slightly.

Use the maximum (default) power level.

No, but a pinch might make it less bland.

Use micro mode. The conversion mode is somewhat in between microwaving and baking, depending on the brand of microwave you have.

No, the bread will not always come out perfect, but that's okay!

Not if you're baking it in the microwave. This is a quick recipe for those who may not have time to wait for dough to rise.

Yes, but not by using this recipe. Yeast works best when used with sugar, and requires additional steps to rise correctly. Look for a suitable recipe that involves yeast and is specifically for the microwave.

No, you don't let the dough set. When you are finished preparing the dough, put it in a microwave safe bowl, then put it in the microwave.

It is okay to substitute those two flours for each other.
