Each ingredient in a loaf of bread plays a
specific role, so it is extremely important to
measure the ingredients correctly to get the best
results.
For optimum results, we recommend weighing
ingredients on a kitchen scale. This is especially
important with flour. Because flour aerates, the
exact amount is needed to achieve an optimum
loaf of bread.
Weight measurements are given for each recipe.
If kitchen scales are not available, ensure the
following instructions are followed;
Dry ingredients
Use a metric measuring spoon or cup. Do not
use tableware spoons or cups. Spoon the dry
ingredients loosely into the spoon or cup and
level off with a flat knife. This is particularly
important with flour. Do not pack dry
ingredients down into the cup or tap the cup
unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Liquids
Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the level
indicated. Check your cup measurement by
placing the measuring cup on a flat surface and
reading the measurement at eye level.
Solid fats
Fill a metric measuring spoon or cups to the
level indicated and level off with a flat knife.
Last Things Last!
Always place the yeast in the breadpan first, the
dry ingredients in next, and the liquids in last.
This will ensure a well risen and evenly baked
loaf.
Adding Fruits and Nuts
Fruits and nuts are added later, after the
machine has completed the first knead. The
machine will beep to let you know it is time to
add fruit or nuts. If they are added before the
fruit and nut beep, the fruit will be pureed due
to excessive kneading.

Important Measuring Tips.
Making dough.
The dough cycle allows you to create a variety of
doughs to shape by hand and then bake in a
conventional oven.
Follow the instructions for Baking Bread on
page 7 and select the Dough cycle. When your
dough is ready a beep will sound. Remove the
dough from the pan, shape and bake in a
conventional oven according to recipe
instructions.
Pause function.
The Pause function allows you be creative with
your bread making. Any time during the
kneading of the bread, pause the unit and add
ingredients, fruit or nuts. Use the Pause
function when experimenting with new recipes
to add more flour or water as needed.
To use the Pause function, press and hold the
Start/pause button for a few seconds until the
machine stops. The machine will stop for 2
minutes for you to add ingredients. During this
period, 4 beeps will sound every 30 seconds as a
reminder that your machine is in Pause function.
To restart the machine, press the Start/pause
button again. If you do not press the
Start/pause button within 2 minutes, the
machine will automatically resume the cycle
where it left off.
NB - You cannot use the pause function during
the baking period.
