YOUR FIRST LOAF
Here’s how we use digital kitchen scales to measure the ingredients accurately and
easily. Feel free to follow this 2lb white loaf example:
•
Using digital kitchen scales, put the bread pan on the scale - not forgetting to
put the paddle in!
•
Set scale to zero
•
Use the measuring cup to pour in
water
until the scales read
360g
(this is
same as 360ml)
•
Set scale to zero again
•
Use the cup to add
flour
until scales read
570g
. It will be about 4 cups
•
Use the measuring spoon to add
3tbsp
(large end) of
sugar
in one corner of
pan
•
Use measuring spoon to add
4tbsp
(large end)
softened butter or margerine
•
Use measuring spoon to add
2tsp
(small end)
salt
•
Make a small hole in the flour with your finger. Pour
fast action dried yeast
into
the tsp end of measuring spoon and add 1¼ tsp (small end) into the hole
Return the pan to the machine and lock it into place. Close the lid then select pro-
gramme 1 (
Basic
). Select crust colour. Select
2lb loaf size
. Press start.
3 hours later your glorious loaf will be ready!
The bread maker LCD display should read 0:00. Press the Start/Stop button for 3
seconds to cancel the keep hot process.
Use oven mitts to carefully remove the bread pan from the machine.
Allow it to cool for 5-10 mins. During this time, the loaf will shrink back a little bit,
which will make removal easier.
CAUTION: THE BREAD PAN AND BREAD MAY BE VERY HOT! ALWAYS HANDLE
WITH CARE.
Turn bread pan upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and
gently shake until bread falls out. If it doesn’t come out at first then shake harder!
Gently hold the top of the loaf with oven mitt or your loaf may end up bouncing
across the kitchen floor, which is quite discouraging.
Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing - and don’t forget to remove the
mixing paddle!
