SUGAR
Sugar has the decisive influence on the
degree of browning and taste of the
bread. For the recipes in this manual of
instructions, it is necessary to use cry-
stallized sugar. Do not use powdered
sugar, unless it is expressly specified.
Sweeteners are not suitable as alternati-
ves to sugar.
SALT
Salt is an important ingredient for taste
as well as for the degree of browning of
the bread. Salt also has an inhibiting
effect on the fermenting of the yeast.
Therefore, do not exceed the quantity of
salt specified in the recipes. In case of
dietary restrictions salt can be omitted.
In such cases, the dough may rise faster
than normal.
LIQUIDS
Liquids like milk, water or milk powder
dissolved in water can be used for
making bread. Milk adds to the taste of
the bread and softens the crust, where-
as pure water gives a crispy crust. In
some recipes, the use of fruit juices is
indicated in order to give a particular fla-
vour to the bread.
EGGS
Eggs enrich the bread and provide a
soft structure to it. Use eggs while
baking according recipes given in this
instructions manual for large sized bre-
ads.
FATS: BAKING FAT, BUTTER OR OIL
Baking fats, butter and oil make the
yeast containing bread mellow. The uni-
que form of crust and structure in bre-
ads according to French style is due to
its fat-free ingredients. However, bread
stays fresh longer if fat has been used in
its processing. If you use butter directly
from the refrigerator, cut it into small bits
to optimise mixing with the dough
during the kneading phase.
MEASURING THE INGREDIENTS
Along with our Automatic Bread Maker,
you will receive the following measuring
cups, which make the task of measuring
the ingredients easier for you:
1 Measuring cup with quantity level mar-
kings
1 Large measuring spoon corresponding
to one tablespoon
(TBSP)
1 Small measuring spoon corresponding
to one teaspoon
(TSP)
Place the measuring cups on an even
surface. Make sure that the quantities
reach the measuring lines correctly.
While measuring dry ingredients, make
sure that the measuring cup is dry. All
quantity specifications for TBSP/ TSP
refer to the lines on the measuring
spoon.
