MAKING A LOAF – Things to remember
Place the pan in position and turn it clockwise until it clicks in correct position. Rub a little
margarine or butter onto the kneading paddles and position onto the drive shafts. This
prevents the dough from sticking to the kneading paddles and assists with removing the
paddle from the bread after baking.
Ensure the ingredients are put into the bread maker in the exact order given in the recipe,
for example;
• First, liquid ingredients - oil, milk, water etc.
It is recommended that you also
add the salt now
as you can be sure it will be kept separate from the yeast – this is
especially important if you are using the time delay.
• Second, dry ingredients - flour, sugar, milk powder etc. Add the flour gently and make
sure it is evenly distributed over the liquid. If you tip it onto the liquid too fiercely
the liquid may seep up through the flour and affect the action of the yeast. This is
particularly important if you are using the time delay.
• Last, yeast. The yeast must be kept separate from the wet ingredients and salt. Create
a small hole in the dry ingredients using your finger or a spoon and place the yeast in
the hole. Make sure the yeast is fresh – check the use by date.
• Ensure the ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise stated. Water should
be cold unless the recipe states otherwise.
Select your recipe – it is a good idea to use one of the recipes we have included in this
booklet. The BASIC bread recipe on page 23 is a good recipe to start with. When you are
familiar with the bread maker you can use or adapt your own recipes.
