MEASURING YOUR INGREDIENTS
One of the most important steps for making good bread is to use the exact measure of
ingredients. Always use the measuring cup and spoon included with your Bread Maker.
If you prefer to use kitchen scales, metric measurements have also been included in our
recipes.
• Any liquids should be measured with the measuring cup or spoon provided. Observe
the level of the measuring cup and spoon at eye level, to ensure the quantities are
precise.
• After measuring cooking oil or other liquids, wash, rinse and dry the measuring cup
and spoon thoroughly before measuring any other ingredients.
• Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring
cup, then once filled, level off with a knife. Do not be tempted to add more of the
ingredient than required, or to pack them down tightly into the cup as this will affect
the recipe.
• The maximum quantity of flour you should use is 600g (or 4
2
/
3
cups). The maximum
amount of yeast you should use is 5g (or 1
½
teaspoons).
• The measuring spoon measures 1 teaspoon (5ml) and 1 tablespoon (15ml). The
measuring cup holds 230ml (130g).
