securely locked in position.
★ The kneading blade must be firmly
locked in position before commencing
operation. Blade should lie flat at start

complete, remove blade and wash
carefully to remove any traces of
dough/crust before re-using.

INTRODUCTION
This new supplementary cookbook is especially
designed for your Bread Bakery.
It includes new recipes, as well as some modified
and improved recipes from the previous
cookbook.
Please use this cookbook instead of the
books supplied with your Bread Bakery.
Bread should be included as part of our daily diet
it provides carbohydrates plus protein, B vitamins
and minerals.
The Panasonic Bread Bakery makes bread baking
simple, follow the recipes carefully - ensuring that
all ingredients are precisely measured and good
quality breads and rolls will be produced.
Use the measurements below as a guideline - all
ingredients have been measured using standard
metric cups and measuring spoons except for
flour which has been weighed for accuracy as
different flours, stored under different conditions
tend to weigh differently.
Do not leave any part of the bread pan
immersed in water. Promptly hand wash all
parts of the bread pan and wipe dry. Long
soaking of the bread pan may result in damage
to the shaft bearing assembly.

The Role of Ingredients in Bread Making
The ingredients used in bread baking all play
an important part in the quality of the bread
produced.
Below we briefly discuss the role that each
ingredient plays in the bread baking process. It
is important to follow the recipes and weigh or
measure carefully to ensure the correct balance
of ingredients for successful bread baking.
FLOUR
Most bread is made from wheat flour. The
quantity and quality of the gluten forming
proteins in the flour determines its suitability for
good bread making.
High grade flours have a consistently higher
protein content than some of the lower grades
available and these will generally give a more
successful result.
If lower grade flours are used, the addition of
1 tablespoon of gluten flour will improve
performance.
All flour starts off as brown flour and is milled
and refined until it becomes white.
In wholemeal flour, the wheat grain has not
been removed so breads made with
wholemeal flour have a coarser more crumbly
texture.
Breads made with wholemeal flour only will
have a reduced volume due to the reduced
availability of gluten forming proteins. To
enhance the volume in these loaves a
proportion of white flour can be used and
additional gluten flour may also give improved
results.
Flours milled from cereals such as oats, rice,
barley and rye contain little or no gluten.
Therefore these loaves have a low rise and a
dense structure.
Panasonic recommend the use of HIGH
GRADE FLOUR.
SUGAR
Sugar used in bread making comes in a variety
of forms - these include white sugar, brown
sugar, molasses, treacle, honey and golden
syrup.
Sugar in some form is essential in all breads as
sugar provides food for yeast - it helps the
yeast to begin to ferment and then promotes
continued yeast action.
Sugar also provides sweetness and aids
browning during baking.
Artificial sweeteners cannot be successfully
used as a substitute for sugar - they do not
provide the carbohydrates required for
fermentation.
SALT
Salt is very important in bread making as it
gives the bread a more even texture.
It also controls the action of the yeast by
inhibiting enzyme activity, thus controlling the
amount of carbon dioxide produced. Bread
with reduced salt will have a weak gluten
structure and a more open texture, too much
salt inhibits fermentation.
Salt also contributes to the flavour.
FATS
The main purpose of fats in bread baking is to
tenderise and soften the bread and to
enhance the flavour and richness. Although
the addition of fat is not essential, breads
made without fat will have less flavour and will
not keep as well.
The best flavour is achieved when butter is
used - it should be softened to help mixing.
Other fats can be used. These include
vegetable oil, margarine or shortening.
Remember that these may alter the flavour and
texture.
LIQUIDS
Liquids are important in bread baking, a small
change in the quantity may affect the height
and the texture of the bread.
Liquid is needed to form the bread's gluten
framework.
Too much will cause the dough to collapse,
too little prevents the gluten from stretching
enough.
Liquid temperature is important - generally a
tepid liquid - one that feels neither hot nor
cold, is best.
If a recipe specifies water only - part of this may
be replaced with fresh milk but remember that
this will affect the fat content of the bread.
Fresh milk is not suitable if time delay is being
used.
MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS
These enhance the flavour and help increase
the nutritional value of the bread. The recipes
included in this book use dry milk because it is
convenient to use.
If fresh milk is used, reduce the quantity of
water by the same amount.
Fresh milk is not suitable if time delay is being
used.
ASCORBIC ACID - VITAMIN C
Is a bread improver which helps to overcome
some of the problems that arise due to the
variable quality of New Zealand flour. It acts by
promoting the formation of a stable gluten
framework, and helps produce a softer, finer
textured loaf.
It is available from chemist shops and some
grocery stores in the following forms;
■ powder
■ crystalline granules
■ tablets
Use 'At powder or granules per load of bread
or batch of bread rolls.
YEAST
Yeast is a form of plant life - it will grow and
multiply when the conditions are favourable.
In bread baking the yeast ferments the sugar
and forms a gas (carbon dioxide).
This gas causes the dough to rise, the
fermentation softens the gluten, and makes it
elastic.
Kneading then develops this softened gluten
and spreads the gas cells evenly through the
dough to give a fine textured product.
When bread is baked, the initial heat increases
the yeast action - the gas cells expand and the
loaf rises. The yeast is killed and the loaf cooks
to have a crisp brown crust and a soft moist
even crumb.
Yeast in the following forms can be used in the
bread bakery;
■ Active Dry Yeast - yellow lid
■ Surebake Yeast - red lid
Surebake is active yeast mixed with additives to
enhance the action of the yeast - these
additives include wheat flour, baking fats (to
strengthen the gluten and improve texture),
calcium carbonate, ascorbic acid and
potassium bromate.
These additives accelerate the strengthening of
the gluten. Generally when using Surebake,
there will be no need to add extra ascorbic
acid. Gluten flour will only be needed when
using grains with a low gluten such as oats,
rice, barley and rye.
Surebake is added to the bread pan with all
other ingredients at the beginning of the
process.
Granulated yeast is also placed in the pan
directly.
Yeast should be refrigerated for storage watch use by dates! A temperature of 30-35°C
provides the best conditions for rising of yeast
products.
Important
■ When using time delay, remember to reduce
the quantity of yeast being used by
'A teaspoon.
■ Place yeast in bread pan before all other
ingredients, this gives more consistent
results.
■ Do not use compressed yeast or dry yeast
that requires preliminary fermentation.
■ Do not dissolve yeast in warm water before
use.
