Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This machine
requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic
cooking, normally 'a pinch of this and a dash of that' is fine but not for
breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you accurately
measure each ingredient for best results.
Ingredient temperatures
………………………………………………………………………………………………
All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and especially
liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21
o
C
(70
o
F). If ingredients are too cold, below 10
o
C (50
o
F), they will not activate
the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40
o
C (104
o
F), may kill the yeast.
Creating your own yeast breads

With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the
satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard
work is gone. Inside this talented machine with an electronic brain, the
dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and baked without you being present. The
automatic breadmaker can also just prepare. The automatic beradmaker can
also just prepare the dough and when it's ready, you shape, allow to rise and
bake in a conventional oven. The recipes on the following pages are 'tailored'
for this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a
particular loaf of bread, and each was tested in our machines. It is
extremely important not to exceed the amounts of flour specified in
each of the replaces or else it could result in unsatisfactory baking
performance. When creating your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old
favourite, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for converting portions
from your recipe to your breadmaker.
