Hints and Tips
General Tips
n
Ensure you use exact measurements and carefully follow each step of the recipe - take
care not to over or under mix.
n
For most recipes, refrigerated items like butter, milk and eggs incorporate better if they
are used at room temperature.
n
Scraping the bowl may sometimes be necessary during mixing. Use a spatula to scrape
the sides occasionally. Do not use a metal spoon.
Bread Baking
n
Use the dough hook for making bread.
n
Using milk in place of water will produce a softer crust.
n
Do not use tub margarines for bread baking – they have different structures and they
do not work as well.
n
Using too much liquid, or baking on a humid day, can cause your bread to fall or wrinkle
on top.
n
If a recipe calls for a specific type of flour, use the flour recommended. If you do not
have bread flour, you can substitute unbleached, all-purpose flour, but your bread may
not rise quite as much as there is less gluten.
Cake Baking
n
Use the flat paddle accessory for mixing cake batters.
n
Have all ingredients and mixing bowl at room temperature. Room temperature ingredients
incorporate and blend more easily.
n
Fill tins immediately after mixing and bake immediately after this.
n
Cool cakes in tins until cool to touch, and remove from tins to completely cool on a wire
rack after baking.
