Bread making ingredients 1. Bread flour Bread flour has a high content of gluten (it can be also be called high-gluten flour which contains high protein), it has good elasticity and can keep the bread from collapsing after rising. As the gluten content is higher than normal flour, it can be used for making bread in large sizes. Bread flour is the most important ingredient in making bread. 2. Plain flour Flour that contains no baking powder is ideal for making express breads. 3.
special dietary requirements. 8. Yeast After the yeasting process begins, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand the bread and make the inner fibre soften. However, yeast is fast breeding and needs carbohydrate found in sugar and flour as nourishment. 1 tsp. active dry yeast =3/4 tsp. instant yeast 1.5 tsp. active dry yeast =1 tsp. instant yeast 2 tsp. active dry yeast =1.5 tsp.
11. Grease, butter and vegetable oil Grease can make bread soft but can reduce storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped into small pieces before using. 12. Baking powder Baking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cakes, as it does not need time to rise and instead produces air. The air will form to soften the texture of the bread or cakes. 13. Soda Soda is similar to baking powder. It can also be used in combination with baking powder. 14.
Ingredient measurements An important step for making good bread is using the correct amount of ingredients. It is strongly recommended to use a measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain an accurate amount. The use of incorrect measurements can cause the bread to fail. 1. Weighing liquid ingredients Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with measuring cups. This can be done by placing a measuring cup on an even surface and looking at it from a level view.
Tips for getting the most out of your bread maker! Always use good quality ingredients, the quality of the ingredients will be reflected in the taste of the bread. It is worth investing in good quality ingredients to ensure good quality bread. Measure your ingredients accurately. Under or over measurement of ingredients can have an adverse effect upon your baking. Also use measuring cups/spoons and weighing scales.

The bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more dense texture. Programme 5: Sweet The Sweet Bread setting is for baking breads with high amounts of sugar, fats and proteins, all of which tend to increase browning. Due to a longer phase of rising the bread will be light and airy.
It is recommended that you mix the cake mixture in a bowl and then add it to the bread pan. Kneading, rise and baking all occur, but the mixture rises with soda or baking powder.

8. Bread size is too small or bread has not risen No yeast or the amount of yeast is not enough. The yeast may have poor activity due to the water temperature being too high, yeast is mixed together with salt, or the environment temperature is low Check the amount and performance of the yeast. Increase the environment temperature to the correct temperature. 9. Dough is so large it overflows the bread pan Too much liquid has been used to make the dough soft.
