Introduction

If baking bread and cakes has always been a mystery to you, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find how 

easily  the  Home  Bakery  can  make  you  a  great  baker!  The  recipes  outlined  in  this  book  have  been 

carefully tested, but there are a few tips we’d like to pass on to you to insure success every time.

The most important tip is to follow the directions in the recipes exactly. Use the ingredients specified in 

the recipes.

Once  you  become  familiar  with  what  the  Home  Bakery  can  do,  you’ll  be  able  to  invent  your  own 

delectable concoctions.

Breads  and  cakes  will  be  only  as  good  as  the  ingredients  used;  that’s  why  it’s  so  important  to  avoid 

making substitutions. Here’s a list of the most common ingredients you’ll find in our recipes:

THE “SECRET” INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS

• All Purpose Flour is a blend of refined wheat flour especially suitable for making quick breads and 

   cakes. For best results, lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. (It is not 

   necessary to sift flour for bread).

• Bread Flour is a type of wheat flour made from hard wheat that includes all of the gluten from the 

   grain. Since bread flour has a higher gluten and protein content than all-purpose flour, it is well-suited 

   for use in yeast breads. Gluten gives structure and height to the loaf, thus bread flour rises better than 

   other flours. It produces a higher loaf and bread that has a coarser texture.

• Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated 

   from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added in small quantities to bread for nutritional 

   enrichment, heartiness and flavor. They are also used to improve the texture of bread.

• Cornmeal & Oatmeal come from coarsely ground white or yellow corn and from rolled or steel-cut 

   oats. They are used primarily to enhance the flavor and texture of breads.

• Cracked Wheat* is very coarse in texture. It comes from Wheat kernels cut into angular fragments. It 

   gives whole grain breads a nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

• Gluten is an elastic protein found mainly in wheat flour (all flour contains some gluten). Gluten is an 

    important element in all yeast breads, as it gives bread its structure, or framework. Flours with a high 

   gluten content make the best bread flours.

• Vital Wheat Gluten (also called Vital gluten or wheat gluten) is the dried gluten protein obtained from 

   high protein, hard-wheat flour by rinsing off most of the starch. Adding gluten flour to bread recipes 

   helps improve the strength, texture and height of the loaf. It is especially useful in recipes that call for

   wheat bread flour or low-gluten flours.

• Rye Flour is a dark flour made from grain of rye.

• Whole Wheat Flour, ground from the entire wheat kernel, is heavier, richer in nutrients, and more 

   perishable than All Purpose Flour.

• Seven-Grain Cereal Blend** is a blend of cracked wheat, oats, bran, rye, corn meal, flax seeds, and 

   hulled millet.

• Active Dry Yeast feeds on sugar and ferments it, thus causing dough to rise. Active dry yeast (simply 

   dried granules of yeast) is made of tiny plants that change food (especially gluten and sugar) into 

   bubbles of carbon dioxide. As these bubbles expand, the bread rises. Active dry yeast, is best suited for 

   use in bread machines. Note that “rapid-rise,” “quick-rise,” and “instant yeast” are not recommended 

   for multiple rising, long fermentation periods or whole wheat bread machine cycles.
