TIPS FOR BETTER BREAD MAKING

Measuring And Weighing Ingredients

With bread maker baking, the most important step is accurately 

measuring and weighing ingredients. The bread pan has a limited 

capacity so ingredients must be measured accurately to prevent 

overflow onto the heating elements and to ensure the recipes rise 

and taste properly. For best results, always accurately measure 

and weigh ingredients and add them to the bread pan in the order 

listed in the recipe. Dry ingredients should be at room temperature 

20°C—25°C unless stated otherwise

Liquid Measuring Cups

For liquid ingredients, use transparent plastic or glass liquid 

measuring cups with the measurements marked clearly on the side. 

Do not use non-transparent plastic or metal measuring cups unless 

they have measurement markings on the side. Place the cup on  

a horizontal flat surface and view markings at eye level. The level of 

the liquid must be aligned to the appropriate measurement mark. 

An inaccurate measurement can affect the critical balance of the 

recipe. Liquid ingredients should be 27°C unless stated otherwise.

Dry Measuring Spoons

For dry ingredients, use plastic or metal dry measuring spoons.  

Do not use tableware spoons. It is important to spoon or scoop  

the dry ingredients loosely into the cup. 
When using measuring spoons for either liquid or dry ingredients 

such as yeast, sugar, salt or dry milk, measurements should be level, 

not heaped. Level the top of the cup by sweeping the excess with 

the back of a knife or spoon handle. This extra amount can affect 

the critical balance of the recipe.

Weighing Scales

For consistent results it is recommended to use weighing scales as 

they provide greater accuracy than measuring cups. 
Place a container onto the scale, tare (or zero) the scales, then spoon 

or pour ingredients in until the desired weight is achieved.

Measurement Conversion

1 teaspoon

= 5ml 

AUS 1 tablespoon

= 20ml 

UK/US/NZ 1 tablespoon

= 15ml

¼ cup

= 60ml

L

 cup

= 80ml

½ cup

= 125ml

M

 cup

= 160ml

¾ cup 

= 165ml

1 cup 

= 250ml

As a general guide:

1 cup bread flour

= 150g

1 cup wholemeal flour

= 150g

1 cup plain flour

= 150g

1 tablespoon butter

= 20g

2 tablespoons butter 

= 40g

1 cup granulated sugar

= 200g

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

= 220g

1 cup chopped nuts

= 125g

1 cup dried fruits

= 150g

1 cup chocolate chips

= 190g

Measuring Ingredients When Developing Your Own Recipes

Use these tips to make developing or adapting a recipe easier. 

Loaf sizes

As a general formula:
300g flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 0.5kg.
450g flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 0.75kg.
600g flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 1.0kg.
750g flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 1.25kg.

NOTE

Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread may not mix 

properly. The recipes in this book have been especially designed 

and tested to produce 0.5kg to 1.25kg loaves, so may have slightly 

more or less flour than the general formula above. However if 

developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a minimum 300g 

and maximum 750g of total dry ingredients is recommended to 

ensure the dough does not rise over the bread pan. On the jam 

setting, as a general guide, a maximum 500g of fruit should  

be used.

Eggs

As a general formula:

1 egg 

= 60ml

1 egg white

= 3 tablespoons

1 egg yolk

= 1 tablespoon

1 egg

= 3 tablespoons liquid egg substitute

1 egg

=  1 tablespoon egg white   

2 tablespoons cold water beaten until foamy

Milk

As a general formula:
250ml fresh milk = 4 tablespoons dry milk 250ml water. 

Use 5—6 tablespoons for a richer flavour.
