Q & A for Baking Bread
Question
Answer
Why do loaves sometimes vary in
height and shape?
Any one of the following could affect the height and shape:
temperature, weather, humidity, altitude, use of the timer and
fluctuations in household current. The bread shape can also be
affected if fresh ingredients are not used or measured incorrectly.
How do the loaves vary in shape
depending on the season?
During summer, loaves may sometimes rise too high or collapse,
causing a dent in the middle. During winter, you may have trouble
getting the bread to rise. This may be solved by keeping the water
temperature at about 20°C (68°F).
Why does flour occasionally stick to
the side of the bread?
During the initial mixing period, small amounts of flour may
sometimes stick to the sides of the bread pan and baked onto the
sides of the loaf. If this happens, scrape off that portion of the outer
crust with a shape knife.
Why does flour occasionally stick to
the side of the cake baked using the
CAKE setting?
You may not have added the ingredients in the order listed. When
the add beeps sound and it’s time to add additional ingredients, be
sure to remove flour that remains on the sides of the bread pan using
a plastic utensil.
Why is the dough sometimes very
sticky and difficult to work with?
Dough may sometimes be sticky (or too wet) depending on the
room and water temperatures. Try using colder water when making
the dough and dust the kneading surface and your hands with flour
more frequently.
Why does the top of the loaf
sometimes look torn?
Sometimes the dough rises too well and the top of the loaf looks
torn. However the loaf will have a very soft texture.
Can I make breads using eggs in the
breadmaker?
Yes. Reduce the amount of water and replace with eggs. Put the eggs
in the measuring cup first; then add water to measure accurately. Do
not use the Delay Timer function when using eggs as they may spoil.
Can I use this breadmaker to make
bread recipes found in other
cookbooks?
The accompanying recipes were especially created for this
breadmaker; results may vary when using other recipes.
Why can’t the Delay Timer function
be set for more than 12 hours?
Ingredients may spoil and affect the quality of the dough if left out
for an extended period.
Why does the bread sometimes
have a strange odor?
Too much active dry yeast or outdated ingredients (especially flour
and water) may cause odors. Always measure ingredients accurately
and use fresh ingredients for best results.
May I used home-ground or home-
milled flour?
Depending on how coarsely ground the home-milled flour is, results
may not be satisfactory. We suggest using a blend of home-ground
flour and regular bread flour for best results.
