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, an
accurate 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 liquids in the breadpan first, the
dry ingredients in next, and the yeast in last. This
will ensure a well risen and evenly baked loaf.
Adding Fruits and Nuts
Fruits and nuts are added towards the end of
the kneading cycle. 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.
Power Interruption Program Protection.
Your Bakehouse features a 25 minute Power
Interuption Protection that protects the Program
memory in the advent of power surges, or short
term power failure (black-out).
This means that if there is a power interruption
during your bread making, the machine will
retain its memory for at least 25 minutes and
continue cooking when the power supply
returns. This feature is applicable whether the
machine is in the Kneading, Baking or Delay cycle.
Without this feature the machine would reset
and the breadmaking cycle would stop.
If you experience a power failure greater than
25 minutes you may need to discard your
ingredients and start again.
