LIQUID INGREDIENTS
The liquid ingredient normally consists of water or milk or from a mixture of the two. Water makes the crust crispier.
Milk makes it softer and the texture is softer.
There are conflicting opinions on what should be the temperature of the water. You can decide for yourself as you
get more familiar with the appliance. Water is another essential ingredient for bread. Generally, a water temperature
between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F) is the most appropriate. But if you want to accelerate the bread making
process the water temperature must be between 45°C (115°F) and 50°C (122°F). It is essential that water is of
good quality, and preferably bottled, as the limestone in the water can compromise the successful outcome of the
bread. Instead of water you can also put the fresh milk or water with 2% milk powder, which enhances the taste
and improves the colour of the crust. Some recipes even mention fruit juice.
LOW FAT CONTENT
Do not use oils, margarines etc with a low percentage of fat. These products contain little fat, while the recipe
requires a higher amount, and you may not get the desired results.
SUGAR
Sugar activates and feeds yeast allowing it to grow. It adds flavour and texture and helps browning the crust.
Honey, syrup and molasses can be used instead of sugar, provided that you adapt the liquid ingredient to
compensate. Artificial sweeteners must not be used, because they do not feed the yeast and some kill it.
SALT
Salt helps controlling the growth of yeast. Unsalted bread could grow too much and then collapse. It also gives
more flavour.
EGGS
Eggs will make your bread richer and more nutritious, add colour and help the shape and texture. Eggs are included
in the liquid ingredients of the bread, so adjust the other liquid ingredients if you add eggs. Otherwise the dough
may be too liquid to rise properly.
