HelPFUl HINTS FOR USING YOUR bReAdMAKeR
1. Follow the directions:
The liquid is always the first ingredient. Dry
ingredients follow and the yeast is added last. Make a small well in the
center of the flour and place the yeast there. This is especially important
when using the delay-bake function to avoid activating the yeast too
soon.
2. Measure carefully:
Use the appropriate measuring tools and
measure carefully. The measuring scoop included should be used for
dry measurement only. Spoon dry ingredients into the measuring scoop
and level off with the straight edge of a metal spatula or the back of a
knife. Measure liquids in a glass or plastic measuring cup designed for
liquids. Use measuring spoons for liquid and dry ingredients. level off
with a metal spatula or the back of a knife.
3. Keep it fresh:
Use fresh ingredients at room temperature. In Canada,
use All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour; in the USA, use Bread Flour. Use
yeast that has an expiration date of at least 6 months in the future. Avoid
using perishable ingredients (such as milk, eggs and cheese) when
using the delay-bake function.
4. Perfect dough:
In very humid weather, bread may require a little
more flour. Check the bread toward the end of the first rise. If it seems
sticky, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of flour to the second kneading cycle until
the dough forms a smooth ball. If the bread seems very dry or knocks
in the kneading cycle, sprinkle room temperature water into the bowl, 1
teaspoon at a time, until dough forms a smooth ball.
5. look, but don't open:
The glass in the cover is there to monitor the
process. Do not open the lid during the baking process. In the initial
mixing you may open the cover to use a rubber spatula to blend in any
ingredients that have stuck to the sides of the bread pan or to open the
cover to add ingredients at the “add ingredient” beep.
6. Patience:
Wait at least 20 minutes before slicing freshly baked bread;
it will still be deliciously warm but easier to slice. If you like a crisp
crust, remove the bread as soon as the baking cycle is complete. To
make another loaf of bread, let the unit cool completely.
7. Save it for another day:
To freeze freshly baked bread, cool
completely on a wire rack. Wrap securely in plastic wrap and then
foil using a drugstore close. To serve, remove from foil and defrost in
microwave. For that freshly baked flavor, reheat in the oven.
8. Adding ingredients:
All functions except Rapid Bake I and II,
allow for the addition of ingredients, such as dried fruits and nuts; the
beep sounds just before kneading is complete. This happens about 30
minutes into the program.
