Instructions (Cont.)
Sugar
Sugar provides nutrition for the yeast and is essential for the rising process.
You can use refined sugar or brown sugar, but also honey or syrup. Sugar
also adds sweetness to the taste of the bread and helps brown the crust.
Salt
Salt enriches the flour and reinforces the gluten in the flour for a better rising
process. It gives bread additional flavour and colour, but also slows down
the yeast growth. Make sure to measure salt quantities accurately; do not
use excessive quantities of salt. And always use fine salt, as coarse salt can
damage the non-stick coating of the baking tin.
Eggs
Eggs improve the structure and volume of the pastry and give extra flavour.
Eggs should be whipped carefully before adding to the dough.
Animal and vegetable fats
Animal and vegetable fats (butter, margarine, dairy spreads or oil) improve the
taste of the bread, make it softer and increase its storage life. Make sure solid
fats (such as butter) are at room temperature, and cut into chunks or melted a
little, before adding the fat to the baking tin.
Baking powder and soda
Leavening agents such as baking soda and baking powder help the dough
rise.
Use baking powder or soda when selecting the «CAKE» program, which
is designed for baking cake from yeast-free dough.
• If using
baking soda
, mix it with citric acid and a little flour beforehand.
Use a mixture of 5g of baking soda, 3g of citric acid and 12g of flour. This
amount of the powder (20g) is rated for 500g of flour.
• If using
baking powder
, add it to the flour and use the quantity stated in
your recipe.
Water (liquid)
We recommend using tap water, at room temperature (20-25°C). The water
temperature plays a crucial role in the bread-making process. If it is too cold,
the yeast activation will not start, and if it is too warm, the yeast activation
will process too quickly. Warmer water (46-52°C) may only be used for the
«EXTRA FAST» program. You may also replace water with milk, for a richer
taste, or add some natural juice according to your recipe.
