Your

is the result of

Prima

's

many years of

experience

with

bread making

machines. Whether you

have

never made

bread

before or

if

you

have made your

own bread

for

years, the

information in

this

booklet is

essential

if

you

are

to

obtain the

best

from your machine.

There are a

number of

key

differences

between manual bread

making

and

machine bread making.

It is

best to

approach

the

subject

without any

pre-conceived ideas or expectations.

This

book has been

designed to ensure that you get

outstanding results

right from the first loaf you

make.

There

are a

number of

recipes included

which

use

all the various

programmes and functions of

the

machine. These recipes

have

been

designed to

give

you

an

instinctive feel

for the machine.

This

will create a pattern of success

that

will eventually lead to

your adapting

or creating your

own recipes.

Indeed,

you

will

probably

find that most other recipes

are variations of those

found within

this book.

ABOUT BREAD

page 4

iHome

'Bakery

Bread is one of

the

oldest

foodstuffs

we know.

Soon after

humans

first learnt

to

plant

seeds, bread became

the

staple

food

of many

cultures world wide.

Since then

each culture

has

developed it's own

method

of making

bread

using local

ingredients

and processes unique

to them. This trend

continues

today.

Even

pre-packed supermarket

bread

differs in

taste and

texture from

country to country.

No matter

how varied

the

range of breads

on

offer in

bakers

shops or supermarkets,

there

is nothing

quite like the warm fragrance

and

taste of fresh

home-made bread.

With

the continued

success of the Prima Home

Bakery

it is nice

to

know that technology

is

actually helping to

preserve

the art

of home bread making for

generations

to come.

Like most kitchen appliances, your bread maker

is

a

labour-

saving device. The principal benefit is that all the

kneading,

rising and baking is performed within a space saving,

self-

contained

unit. Your Prima

Home Bakery

will

easily

produce

superb loaves time and again provided

the

user follows

the

instructions and understands

a

few

basic

principles.

Unless

you

enjoy eating

breeze blocks,

it is not wise

to expect

the machine

to

think for you.

It

cannot

tell

you

that

you've

forgotten

the

yeast or that

the flour was the wrong

type

or measured

incorrectly.

The

most

important

part of

the

bread

making

process

is

the

wise

selection

of

ingredients.

You

and

your

Prima

Home

Bakery

will

produce

outstanding

results

with

the

right

ingredients.

Just

apply

this

simple

rule:

Best

ingredients

-

best

results,

poor

ingredients -

poor

results.

For

example;

if

good

yeast,

good

flour

and

cold

water

were

mixed

in

an old

container

the

mixture

would

still

rise!

Nothing

the

breadmaker

does

will

prevent

the

dough

from

rising

so

if

your

loaf

does

not

rise

it

is

most

unlikely

that

the

bread

maker

is

to

blame.

It

is

probably

due

to

the

ingredients.

In

order

to save

you

time

we

have

included

some

information

on

each

major

element

used

in

the

making

of

bread

which

will

enable

you

to

obtain

perfect

results

first

time

every

time.

See

the

appendix

at

the

end of

this

book

for

a

list

of

suppliers

of

quality

ingredients.

'Bd^ry

In bread making

the

most

important

element

in

the

flour

is the

protein called

gluten

which

is the

natural

agent

that

gives

the

dough the

ability

to

hold

its

shape

and

retain

the

carbon

dioxide

produced

by the

yeast. The

term

'strong

flour'

means

that it

has

a high

gluten

content.

It has

probably

been

milled

from

hard

wheat

and

is

particularly

suitable for

bread

making.

In the

UK

the

taste

and

gluten

content

of

flour varies

with

each

brand.

At

Prima

we

recommend

Homepride

Harvest

Gold

Strong

White,

Strong

Brown

or

Wholemeal

flour

because

it

gives

consistently

good

results.

If

you experience

difficulty

obtaining

this

locally

their

consumer

services

details

are at

the

back

of

the

book.

Other

good

brands

are BERO,

McDougals

&

Hovis

strong

white

flour.

Safeway's

own

brand

of

bread flour

is

also

quite good.

You

may

wish

to

approach your

local

mill

for flour. If

you do, be

sure to

specify

that

you require

a fine

ground

flour

with a high

protein

content if

you

want

light

well-

risen

loaves.lt

cannot be

stressed

enough

that the packet

must

say

'strong

flour'

or 'bread

making

flour'.

See the

appendix

at

the

end

of

this

book for

suppliers of

good quality

flour.
