Wholewheat
The heavier flour needs preheating for about 30 minutes before kneading.
Wholewheat/ wholemeal loaves tend to be smaller and denser. They don’t
work very well with the timer.
Cake
This program is for cake and batter recipes, rather than dough, generally using
baking powder or baking soda as the raising agent, rather than yeast.
Sweet
This program is used for sweeter bread recipes, often containing fruit. Don’t put
the fruit in till the breadmaker beeps, or the fruit may be mashed, and the bread
too moist.
Dough
This program uses the breadmaker as a mixing/kneading machine, to save
your labour. You must remove the finished dough as soon as the program
has finished, or it will deteriorate. Punch it back, cover, and let it rest for ten
minutes or so before cutting/shaping.
Jam
1. This program preheats the ingredients, and then boils them.
2. Allow plenty of room for the jam to expand when boiling. If jam boils over into the
inside of the breadmaker, it will be very, very difficult to clean.
3. If it does boil over, press the START/STOP button, unplug the breadmaker, let it
cool down, and clean it out before it sets.
Caution:
Don’t mess with hot jam – it retains its heat for a long time and it sticks like
glue. If it gets on to your skin it won’t let go until it’s given you a nasty burn.
Sandwich
This program provides a loaf with a loose texture and a thin crust, ideal for
making sandwiches.
Gluten free
Gluten free bread uses other substances to give the dough elasticity and bounce.
Gluten free loaves tend to be denser and coarser than bread made with strong
flour.
