Operation Manual

Freezing bread
Homemade bread can be frozen when it is cold. Freeze it in daily
portions.
Defrost the bread at room temperature since the microwave oven dries
it out too quickly.
Although the bread can be frozen, it always has a negative effect on its
quality.
Darker bread
A spoon of cocoa powder can be added to the flour to give bread a
darker colour, without changing its flavour.
Crispier crust
To obtain a crispier crust leave the bread in the breadmaker from ten to
fifteen minutes during the keep-warm phase.
If the bread rises out of the basket
The rising process can be followed from the viewing window. Avoid
opening the lid during the rising process since the bread could sink.
However, should the bread rise out of the basket during rising, by
sticking against the viewing window (even during baking), lift the lid for
a while. The dough will then sink slightly.
Small, compact bread
Too much liquid produces small and flat bread. The dough does not rise
properly since it is too wet. The yeast could be too old.
Too dry bread
If an insufficient quantity of liquid is added, bread will be too dry. Add a
little more water or milk. On the contrary, if bread is ok after baking, but
it dries out quickly, add more oil or butter.
Sunken bread
If the bread rises well but it sinks during baking, try to use the QUICK
program. As a rule longer programs increase the chance of the bread to
sink.
