Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread soft but can
reduce storage life. Butter should be
melted or chopped into small pieces
before using.
Baking powder
Baking powder is used for rising quick
bread and cakes, as it does not need time
to rise and instead produces air. The air
will form to soften the texture of the bread
or cakes.
Bicarbonate of Soda
Soda is similar to baking powder. It can
also be used in combination with baking
powder as a rising agent for quick breads.
Water and other liquid
Water is an essential ingredient for making
bread. Generally speaking the water
temperature should be between 20
°
C and
25
°
C for the best results. The water may be
replaced with fresh milk or water mixed
with 2% milk powder, which will enhance
the breads flavour and improve crust
colour. Some recipes may call for juice, e.g.
apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and
so on for the purpose of enhancing
flavour.
Hints and Tips
Always use good quality ingredients, the
quality of the ingredients used will be
reflected in the taste of the bread. It is
worth investing in good quality
ingredients to ensure good quality
bread.
Measure your ingredients accurately.
Under or over measurement of
ingredients can have an adverse effect
upon your baking. Always use the
measuring spoon/ cup provided and
weighing scales.
When using the time delaying function
do not use perishable ingredients such
as eggs, milk, cheese and meat.
Do not open the bread maker during
operation, this is tempting but please
refrain as the baking process will be
affected. Use the viewing window of
the appliance instead.
We recommend that the room
temperature is between 15˚c and 34˚c
to ensure the perfect operation of the
bread maker machine.
Care and cleaning
Disconnect the machine from the power
outlet and let it cool down before
cleaning.
Bread pan: Remove the bread pan by
turning it anti-clockwise; pull the handle
to remove it. Wipe the inside and the
outside of the pan with a damp cloth. Do
not use any sharp or abrasive agents as
this could damage the non-stick coating.
The pan must be dried completely before
installing.
Kneading blade: If the kneading blade is
difficult to remove from the bread, use
