Sugar: Sugar is the nutrition ofthe yeast and so essential f o r the rising process. You can use refined sugar or brown
sugar, but also honey or syrup. Sugar softens the taste of the bread, enhances the nutritional value and helps the
bread to keep longer.
Water: We advise to use tap water. Make sure that it is not too cold, otherwise the yeasting process will not start.
Make sure that it is not too warm, otherwise the yeasting process will go too fast. (= only advised if you select the
'quick' program).
Milk: Milk and other dairy products enhance the taste, the nutritional value and produce a nice brown crust. T he
quantity of milk used should be deduct ed from the amount of water mentioned in the recipe. TIP: Do not use milk
or other dairy products if you use the 'timer delayed start'. T he dairy products could go bad.
Other ingredients: some recipes will add other ingredients such as, raisins, nuts, sunf lower seed, dried fruit, ... First
soak, then dry and then add them. Always use fresh ingredients. TIP: You can make you r bread even more tasteful
by adding ingredients such as eggs, wheat germs, herbs, ...
Bread mix with yeast (included): Pour the bread mix in the baking tin and add water to it. Select program 1 'Basic'
and choose a loaf size according to the content o fthe bread mix. T he bread mix does not always mention how much
yeast is included so you might have to experiment a little before obtaining the best result.
Bread mix with separate yeast: First put the yeast in the baking tin, then the bread mix and then the water. Select
the program acco rding to the type of flour in your bread mix.
2. Preparing the dough
- Make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature (except when you select the 'quick' program, in that case the
water may be a little warmer)
- Only use dried yeast, fresh yeast will not always lead to the desired result.
- If you are using rye flour, take into account that this dough doesn't rise much. For that reason, use at least 30%
wheat flour and max. 70% rye flour.
3. Measuring ingredients
- Measure all ingredients correctly. Stick to the recommended quantities of the recipe. Use the accompanying
measuring cup and measuring spoon. (do not pile up the ingredients in the measuring spoon but make sure to have
a flat spoon) and use a scale to weigh flour, butter, ...
- NEVER use more than the following quantities for this appliance:
*500 gr dry ingredients + approx. 300 ml liquids f or light and standard types of bread.
*660 gr dry ingredients + approx. 440 ml liquids f or heavy breads
4. Order of the ingredients
First add tap water to the baking tin, and then the type(s) of flour. Make a little hole in one corner o f the baking tin
and add the salt. Close the hole and make another hole in the opposite corner. Add the yeast and close the hole so
that salt and yeast do not mix immediately. Add the butter in small chunks. Do not forget the sugar, since this will
influen ce the rising result of the bread considerably.
ATTENTION: Make sure not to spill any ingredients in the baking chamber.
ATTENTION: Keep the outside of the baking tin clean and make sure that the heating elements do not come into
contact with dough or ingredients.
ATTENTION: Stick to the recommended quantities and do not exceed them.
