ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your
own recipes. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your
own and use this as a guide.
Here are some guidelines, but be prepared to make adjustments as you go along.
• Make sure you use the correct quantities for the Bread Maker. This Bread Maker makes
a 750g or a 1000g loaf. Do not exceed the recommended maximum. If using your own
recipe books always use the quantities given for a 750g or a 1000g loaf size.
• 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).
• Always ensure the ingredients are put into the Bread Maker in the exact order given in
the recipe, or in ‘Placing your ingredients into the bread pan.’
• To replace fresh yeast in a recipe with easy blend dried yeast use 1 teaspoon (5ml) of
dried yeast for 6g of fresh yeast.
• Use skimmed milk powder and water instead of fresh milk of you are delaying the start
time on your programme.
• If your recipe uses eggs, add the egg as part of the total liquid measurement unless the
recipe states otherwise.
• Check the consistency of the dough during the first few minutes of the Bread Maker
starting mixing. Bread makers require slightly softer dough so you may have to add
extra liquid. The dough should be wet enough to gradually relax back when you
shape it.
