Description
Remarks
Yeast
Yeast will produce
carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide
will expand
bread and make
the inner fiber
soften. It needs
carbohydrates
found in sugar
and flour as
nourishment.
It is recommended
to use bread
machine yeast,
active-dry yeast, or
instant yeast.
Before using, check the expiration date
of the yeast. Return to refrigerator
immediately after each use.
To check whether yeast is fresh and
active:
Pour ½ cup (120 ml) warm water
(120°F/48°C) into a measuring cup.
Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) white sugar and
2 teaspoons (10 ml) yeast.
Place the measuring cup in a warm place
for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not stir.
Fresh, active yeast will begin to bubble,
up to the 1 cup marking. If it does not,
the yeast is dead or inactive.
Ingredients Measurement
Accurate ingredient measurement is crucial to bread making.
• Liquids must be measured with a levelled Measuring Cup. Observe the liquid
level against the Measuring Cup markings (ill.
l
).
• Dry ingredients must be added into a Measuring Cup. When the cup is filled, the
excess should be levelled off (ill.
m
). For smaller quantities, use the Measuring
Spoon. It must be levelled off before being added to the Pan.
