Flat breads
- When you use flour grinded by a mill or whole wheat flour, it is
possible that the top of bread is flat.
- If the bread did not rise at all, check the use by date of the
yeast. Did you forget to add the yeast? If the bread has only
risen a little, check the use by date of the yeast.
- The activation of the yeast is restrained by too cold or too
warm water.
- Checked the used amount of salt. Make sure you did not add
too much.

frequently asked questions
Question: Why does the shape and height of the bread differ?
Answer:
The shape and height of the bread depend on the
room temperature, the quality and amount of the
ingredients.
Question: Why did the bread not rise?
Answer:
Forgot to add the yeast, too small amount of yeast or
old yeast cause the bread not to rise and stay "flat".
Question: How does the timer work?
Answer:
The timer can not be set under 1:50 hours or over
13 hours. The timer needs a minimum off 1 hour
and 50 minutes to finish all necessary processes.
The ingredients can perish when they stay in the
breadmaker over 13 hours without being cooked. For
further explanations, see chapter "How to use the
preset timer".
Question: Why can I not add extra ingredients to the basic
ingredients?
Answer:
To give the dough and/or the bread the right shape
and to let it rise properly, the dried currants and
others should be added later. There is a chance
that the ingredients are being squashed during the
kneading-process. They can stick together and then
they will not be evenly divided in the dough. Add the
extra ingredients only after the first "beep". You may
not add extra ingredients when you use one of the
fast programs.
Question: Can water be replaced by fresh milk?
Answer:
Yes - but not when using the preset timer and use the
same amount of liquids that the recipe states.
Question: I can not get the bread out of the breadpan, what can
I do?
Answer:
This can be caused by two problems. The non-
stickcoating of your breadpan is worn out or
the bread has not yet cooled down. If the non-
stickcoating is worn out, we advise you to buy a new
breadpan. To find out what the exact problem is, we
advise the following: as soon as the breadmaker has
finished, take out the breadpan with the bread and let
it cool down for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the breadpan
upside down and slowly shake out the bread. Leave
the bread to cool for another 15 minutes on a wire
rack before you cut it.
Question: There is a margin on the kneadingblade. What causes
this and how can I prevent this?
Answer:
The non-stickcoating at the inside on the kneading
blade is thick, soft and not completely hardened.
The final hardening happens at first operation of
the machine. Because of the pressure, which is
being put on the kneadingblade during kneading, the
non-stickcoating will become thinner and harder,
BM55 - instructions 0115.indd 21
which causes more space to become between the
kneadingblade and the driveshaft in thebreadpan.
This process will happen in the first few weeks of
operation. This is fully normal.
Question: The kneadingblade remains in the bread after
removing the bread out of the breadpan.Is this
normal?
Answer:
It is perfectly normal that the kneadingblade sticks
in the bread. If this would not be the case, there
would be a large hole in the bread after removing it
out of the breadpan. Now the bread will first cool
down and therefore become more solid, before the
kneadingblade is removed. The hole in the bread
will in this case be much smaller. During the first few
operations, it could happen that the kneadingblade
remains in the breadpan, this is because of the
question above.
Question: How can I clean the inside of the breadmaker when
the dough has run over?
Answer:
You can clean the inside of the breadmaker with a
ovencleaner. Make sure that you protect the heating
element. You can clean the heating element by letting
the breadmaker, without content, finish a complete
program, once or twice. The heating element will burn
clean.
Question: Because of a diet I am not allowed to eat bread with
sugar. Is it possible to make a sugarfree bread in this
machine?
Answer:
Yes, this is possible. You can leave out the sugar from
the basic-recipe. When doing this, you should leave
out the salt from the recipe also.
Question: My bread collapses, when changing from rising to
baking. What is the problem?
Answer:
This could be caused by two problems. Either you
have used too much yeast or too much water. In most
cases the problem is caused by too much water. The
recipes in the instruction manual are basic-recipes.
It could happen for example that the flour needs less
water then stated. We advise you to use 10 to 20 ml.
less water. The problem should now be solved.
Question: When I bake a bread with raisins, all the raisins are at
the bottom. What can I do to solve this?
Answer:
The dough is probably to compact and cannot divide
the raisins properly. Add 10 to 20 ml of water to the
basic-recipe, causing the dough to be more flexible
and the raisins to divide better amongst the dough.
Please make sure that the raisins themselves are not
too wet.
Question: The crust is sometimes light and sometimes dark?
Answer:
You can set this yourself with the button "crust" (=
korst). For a light crust set the breadmaker on light (L),
for a dark crust set the breadmaker on dark (D).
Question: What has happened when the bread is so high that is
touches the lid?
Answer:
You have used too much yeast and/or sugar, which
causes more gas inside the bread and too much
rising.
Question: Why is not allowed to make bread with fruit with the
program "fast-superfast"?
Answer:
The time for rising is less with this program and
when you use more ingredients, it influences the
bakingtime which causes a bad result if you use such
a program with these ingredients, like fruit.
Question: The breadmaker is kneading slower when making a
heavy bread?
Answer:
This is normal when you use these recipes. It does not
