the yeast, strengthens the dough and prevents the bread from rising too hard.

BUTTER / OIL

Butter and oil improve the general taste of the bread and equally soften it. Butter or oil

should both be at room temperature when you add them to the other ingredients.

SUGAR

Sugar is the nutrient that the yeast feeds itself on and is of great importance for the

bread’s rising process. You can use plain white sugar, brown sugar, syrup or honey.

Sugar lends the bread a certain soft and delicate ﬂ avour, increases its nutritional value

and also renders the bread less perishable. Look out: you should not use unreﬁ ned

sugar or sugar lumps, when you want to make e.g. cinnamon bread, for they can

damage the non-stick coating of the bread pan.

WATER

When the ﬂ our mixes with the water, the gluten will form and air can no longer enter,

thus enabling 3 the bread to rise. At normal temperature you should use tepid water to

make bread:

cold water will not activate the yeast and warm water will achieve the opposite result.

MILK

Milk adds greatly to the colour of the bread (brown for the crust, creamy on the

inside), improves the overall taste of the bread and increases its nutritional value.

Should you choose to use fresh milk, do not forget to reduce the amount of water, in

order to maintain the right level of humidity.

CAREFUL: do not use fresh milk if you are going to choose the baking program with

the time delay function, for the milk could turn sour.

OTHER INGREDIENTS

In some cookery books you may come across recipes requiring the use of herbs, nuts,

currants, fruit or vegetables. Always use fresh ingredients. When you want to use nuts,

sunﬂ ower seeds, dried fruit or similar ingredients, we recommend that they be soaked

in water and dried before adding them to the dough. Always ensure these ingredients

are not too large, for they may damage the non-stick coating.
