Introduction of
Bread Ingredients (Cont.)
Baking Soda
It is similar with baking powder. It can also used in combination with
baking powder.
Water and other liquid
Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking,
water temperature should be between 68°F and 78°F unless a recipe
states otherwise. Water may be replaced with fresh milk or water
mixed with 2% milk powder which may enhance the bread flavor and
improve crust color. Some quick bread recipes may call for juice for
the purpose of enhancing bread flavor.
One of the most important steps for making good bread is accurately
measuring your ingredients. Follow the recommendations as outlined
below unless recipes state otherwise.
Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with
measuring cups. Observe the level of the measuring cup while the
cup is sitting on a level surface.
Dry measurements
Dry measuring can be done by weight or volume. If by volume gently
spoon ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, level off
with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will always result
in more flour than required by the recipe. This extra amount could
affect the balance of the recipe. When measuring small amounts of dry
ingredients, a measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must be
level, not heaped as this small difference could also affect the critical
balance of the recipe. The best method for measuring dry ingredient for
consistent results is by weight, not volume. We recommend using a scale
to ensure the most accurate results.
Measuring Ingredients
CAUTION:
To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before cleaning.
Allow the Breadmaker to cool before cleaning. Do not immerse or splash
either the body or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or
electric shock.
For best performance and maintenance, clean the Breadmaker after
each use as follows:
Outer Body, Lid, and Baking Chamber
Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit with a damp cloth or slightly
damp sponge. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe out any flour,
crumbs, or other materials from the baking chamber. Dry thoroughly.
Baking Pan and Kneading Blade
Both the baking pan and kneading blade have nonstick surfaces. Do not
use any harsh cleansers, abrasive materials, or utensils that may scratch
the surfaces. Over time, the nonstick surface may change in appearance
due to moisture and steam. This is normal and has no effect on its use or
quality. Remove the baking pan and kneading blade from the baking
chamber before cleaning. Wipe the outside of the baking pan with a
damp cloth. Wash the inside of the baking pan with warm, soapy water.
If the kneading blade gets stuck, fill the baking pan with hot water and
soak for 30 minutes or until they loosen and can be removed easily. If
the hole in the kneading blade becomes clogged, carefully clean it out
with a wooden or plastic toothpick.
Fruit and Nut Dispenser
Wash the fruit & nut dispenser in warm water and dry thoroughly.
Replace in lid and close. Do not use any rough scouring pad or
cleanser on part or finish.
Hook, Measuring Cup, Measuring Spoon
These accessories can be washed in warm soapy water or placed in the
top rack of the dishwasher.
Housing
Gently wipe the outer surface of housing with a wet cloth. Do not use
any abrasive cleaner to clean the housing as this would degrade the high
polish of the surface. Never immerse the housing or plug in water or any
other liquid.
CAUTION:
Never use any of the following to clean your Breadmaker:
Paint Thinner, Benzine, Steel Wool Pads, Polishing Powder or Chemical
Dustcloths. DO NOT place any part or parts of the breadmaker in the
dishwasher.
Storing the Unit
Before the breadmaker is packed away for storage, ensure that it has
completely cooled down and is clean and dry. Place the kneading blade
back in the baking pan and close the lid.
