Denna, the slurry needs to be cooked over medium-high heat, which is why we recommend using the stove. Bread machines do get hot, but you need the combination of medium-high heat and agitation (whisking) to make the mixture homogeneous and smooth. Once the tangzhong is made, you're welcome to add it along with the rest of the dough ingredients to the bucket of your machine. Kye@KAF
