Instructions for use An important step for making good bread is using the correct amount of ingredients. It is strongly recommended to use the measuring cup provided or measuring spoons to obtain an accurate amount. The use of incorrect measurements can cause the bread to fail. 1.

This can be done by placing a measuring cup on an even surface and looking at it from a level view.
middle of the bread pan. Prior to baking it is advised that you grease the inside of the tin with margarine, this should be done before placing the kneading blade on the axis. This will stop the dough from sticking to the kneading blade and will make it easier to remove. 3. Place the ingredients into the bread pan, putting the water in first followed by the sugar, salt and flour. Always add the yeast or baking powder last.
If you do not remove your bread from the bread maker, the KEEP WARM function will automatically come on. Ingredients Information Bread flour Bread flour has a high gluten content (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 larger sized breads. Bread flour is the most important ingredient in making bread.
used but brown sugar and icing sugar may be used for special dietary requirements. 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.
Baking powder Baking powder is used for rising 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. Soda Soda is similar to baking powder. It can also be used in combination with baking powder. Water and other liquid Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking the water temperature should be between 20°C and 25°C for the best results.
Hints and Tips Always use good quality ingredients, the quality of the ingredients used 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. If using the time delaying function do not use perishable ingredients such as eggs, milk, cheese and meat.
