Yeast
Yeast is a vital ingredient when bread making, without it the bread will not rise. Your bread maker
maintains the optimum temperature for the yeast to take effect, during the bread making process.
Only use instant or fast acting yeast - sometimes called easy bake.
Some yeast may require the use of a bread improver. A bread improver will provide additional
gluten to the flour to produce a better loaf. If the weather is hot and humid, try reducting the
amount of yeast by ¼ teaspoon to prevent the dough from over rising.
Flour
In order for the bread to rise, the flour used has to have a sufficiently high protein content. We
recommend the use of a good quality strong plain or bread flour.
Liquids
When liquids are mixed with flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for the bread to rise.
Most recipes use dry milk and water, but other liquids such as fresh milk and fruit juice can be
used.
Salt
In small amounts salt adds flavour and controls yeast action. Too much salt will inhibit the yeast
and the bread will not rise properly.
When adding ingredients to the bread pan, yeast and salt should be kept separate.
Other ingredients used in bread making;
Bread improver
Dried fruit and nuts
Fats (i.e. butter, margarine, oil)
Sugar
Dried powder milk
Eggs
