HINTS AND TIPS
• The Bread Maker is not a sealed unit and will be affected by the temperature
and humidity of the day. If it is a very hot day or the machine is used in a hot kitchen,
then the bread is likely to rise more than if it is cold.
• On very cold days let the water from the tap stand at room temperature for 30 minutes
before use. Likewise for ingredients from the fridge.
• Use all the ingredients at room temperature and water from cold unless stated
otherwise in the recipe.
• Add the ingredients to the bread pan in the order suggested in the recipe. Keep the
yeast dry and separate from any other liquids added to the pan, until mixing
commences.
• Accurate measuring is vital for a successful loaf. Follow either metric or imperial
measurements, do not mix the two. Use the measuring cup and spoon supplied and use
accurate kitchen scales.
• Always use fresh ingredients, within their use by date. Perishable ingredients such as
milk, cheese, vegetables and fresh fruits may deteriorate, especially in warm conditions.
These should only be used in breads which are made immediately.
• Do not add too much fat as it forms a barrier between the yeast and flour, slowing
down the action of the yeast, which could give a heavy, dense loaf.
• Cut butter and other fats into small pieces before adding to the bread pan making sure
they are at room temperature and not straight from the fridge.
• Giving the kneading paddle a light coating of oil may make it easier to remove if it bakes
into the loaf.
• You may find that baked loaves may be left with a small patch of unmixed flour, this is
quite normal and can simply be brushed off.
• Bread made in the Bread Maker does not contain preservatives like shop bought
bread and so will not keep for as long.
