Available programs

1. Basic – Kneads, rises and bakes bread. Program permits
additional ingredients to be added.

2. French – Kneads, rises and bakes bread. Program has a
longer rise time, the crust will be crisper and the
bread should be lighter in texture than the basic

or baking soda as the raising agent. Bread made
using this program is usually smaller and has a
denser texture than breads baked with yeast.

5. Sweet - Kneads, rises and bakes sweet breads. Because of
the longer rising phase the bread will be light and
airy.

Bread baked using this program is usually smaller
and denser in texture than other programs and the
mix requires hot water (40 - 45°C) to be added.

Tips for making successful bread
 After adding the flour to the bread pan make a small well in

the flour with a finger or spoon and add the yeast into the well.

 Do not permit the yeast to come in direct contact with salt as

this will kill the yeast and prevent the loaf from rising.

 Always measure the ingredients accurately.

 When measuring liquids use the

measuring cup, place the cup on a
flat surface and bring the eyes
level with the level of the liquid
when checking the reading.

 If using the measuring spoon to

measure powders, do not
compress the powder and draw a
straight edge (e.g. knife blade)
across the top of the measuring
spoon to level the surface.

 Add the ingredients in the sequence shown in the recipe.

Typically liquid ingredients, eggs, salt, milk powder, sugar are
added first and these are then followed by the flour and lastly
the yeast or baking powder. Fruit ingredients are usually
added later in the program cycle to preserve their more
delicate flavours. In some instances with heavy dough (high
rye or whole wheat flours) this order is reversed to ensure
better kneading.

 Ensure liquid ingredients are between 20 – 25°C unless

otherwise advised by the recipe.
