hints and tips
General
If your bread isn’t coming out the way you like, try changing the recipe slightly. Don’t be
afraid to experiment and before long you’ll be baking perfect loaves each and every time.
Always add the ingredeients in the order shown in the recipe. It’s important to keep the
yeast away from the liquids. Use the ingredients at room temperature (20º to 25ºC). The
temperature can affect yeast activity and will affect the quality of the bread.
Important measuring tips
Each ingredient in the loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to
measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results.
Always use the measuring spoon supplied with your bread maker. Never use household
cutlery becasue they can vary greatly in size and will lead to the inaccurate measuring of
ingredients.
Wherever possible we recommend weighing bulk ingredients such as flour on a kitchen
scale. Other dry ingredients can be measured using the spoon and cup provided, and
some butter wrappers provide weight guidelines.
Liquids
Fill the spoon or cup provided to the level indicated. Check your cup measurements by
placing the measuring cup on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.
Solid Fats
When using butter and margarine it is important to chop the ingredients into cubes before
adding to the bread pan. Butter and margarine should be added at room temperature.
Use unsalted butter or margarine.
Add Ingredient Alert
If you are baking bread which requires the addition of other ingredients, such as dried fruit
or nuts, a beep will sound at the appropriate point in the cycle. The add ingredient alert is
only available on programs 1, 3, 6 and 9.
Dry Ingredients
Use the spoon provided (don’t use tableware spoons or cups). Put the dry ingredients
loosely into the spoon and level off with a flat knife. This is particularly important with flour.
Do not pack dry ingredients down into the spoon.
