Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures
The information in the table is a guideline and applies to both
aluminium baking trays and dark-coloured baking tins. The
values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/
mixture and on the baking tin.
The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a
tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even
browning.
If you are baking with your own recipe, use similar recipes in
the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.
