USING THE BREAD MAKER
BAKING BREAD
1. Place the Bread Barrel inside the Housing and turn it clockwise until it clicks
and locks into place.
NOTE : Please ensure to follow
the correct quantities of our
and yeast. Usually, water is
put rst followed by sugar,
salt, and our. Yeast or baking
powder is usually added as the
last ingredient.
Baking Soda
Dry Ingredients
Water
2. Insert the Kneading Blade into the drive shaft of the Bread Barrel. It is
recommended to ll holes with heat-resistant margarine before inserting the
Kneading Blade. This will help stop the dough from getting stuck underneath
the blade, allowing you to easily remove the Kneading Blade from the bread
upon completing the baking process.
3. Place the necessary ingredients in the Bread Barrel as specied in the recipe.
4. Using a nger, make a small indentation into one side of the our. Add yeast
or baking soda into the indent and ensure that it doesn’t come into contact
with any liquid or salt.
5. Close the Bread Maker’s lid and plug its power adapter to a power outlet.
6. Press the Menu button continuously until the preferred Program is selected.
7. Press the Color button to select desired bread crust color.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
QUICK AND ULTRA FAST BAKING
THE QUICK PROGRAM
Quick breads are made with baking powder and baking soda activated
by moisture and heat. For perfect quick breads, it is suggested that all
liquids are placed in the bottom of the Bread Barrel, with all of the dry
ingredients placed on top. During the initial mixing of quick bread, batters
and dry ingredients may collect in the corners of the Bread Barrel, it may
be necessary to help the machine mix to avoid our clumping. A rubber
spatula would be the best equipment for this.
THE ULTRA FAST PROGRAM
The Ultra Fast program allows complete bread baking within 1 hour. This
setting can bake bread within 58 minutes with the bread having less dense
texture. Please note that the water used for this program should be HOT
(48OC to 50OC). Please use a cooking thermometer to measure the water’s
temperature. The water temperature is very critical to the performance of
baking especially for the ULTRA FAST program.
NOTE: If the water temperature is too low, the bread will not rise to its
expected size; if the water temperature is too high it will kill the yeast prior to
rising, which will also largely affect the baking output.
BREAD BAKING INGREDIENTS
1. Bread Flour. Is considered the most important ingredient of making bread.
Has good elasticity and can help keep the size of the bread from collapsing
after rising. As the gluten content is higher than the common our, it can be
used to make bread with larger size and better inner ber.
2. Plain our. A type of our that doesn’t have baking powder.
3. Whole-wheat Flour. Contains both wheat skin and gluten. Whole-wheat our
is heavier and more nutritious than common our. The bread made from
whole-wheat our is usually smaller in size.
4. Black Wheat Flour. Also called “rough our”, is a kind of high ber our and is
similar with whole-wheat our. To obtain the large size after rising, it must be
used in combination in high proportions with bread our.
5. Self-rising Flour. A type of our that contains baking powder.
6. Corn Flour and Oatmeal Flour. These are additive ingredients in making
rough bread, primarily used to enhance avor and texture.
7. Sugar. An important ingredient to increase the sweetness and color of
bread. It is also considered as a nourishment in bread yeasts.
8. Yeast. After the yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide
which will help expand the bread and make the dough’s inner ber soften.
However, it will require carbohydrates found in sugar and our as nourishment.
1 Tsp. Active Dry Yeast =3/4 Tsp. Instant Yeast
1.5 Tsp. Active Dry Yeast =1 Tsp. Instant Yeast
2 Tsp. Active Dry Yeast =1.5 Tsp. Instant Yeast
Before use, check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store it
back to the refrigerator as soon as possible after each use.
To test whether the yeast you would be using is still fresh and okay to use.
• Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-500C) into a measuring cup.
• Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. yeast over
the water.
• Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10 minutes. Do not
stir the water.
• The froth should be up to 1 cup. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.
9. Salt. Is necessary to improve bread avor and crust color, however, this
ingredient can also restrain the yeast from rising.
10. Egg. Can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourish and large in
size, the egg must be peeled and stirred evenly.
11. Butter and vegetable oil. Butter should be melted or chopped to small
particles before usage to help it mix well with the dough.
12. Baking Powder. Baking powder is best used for the rising of Ultra Fast bread
and cake since it does not need rise time and it can produce air, the air will
form bubbles within the dough that will help soften the bread’s texture.
13. Water and/or other kinds of liquid. Water is an essential ingredient for
making bread. This may be replaced with fresh milk or water mixed with 2%
milk powder,to help enhance bread avor and improve crust color. Some
recipes may call for juice for the purpose of enhancing bread avor, e.g.
apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and so on.
