Milk glaze For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread with milk or cream. Sweet icing glaze Mix 1 cup of sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze consistency and drizzle over raisin bread or sweet breads. Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over just glazed bread. Other tips · Place all recipe ingredients into the baking pan so that yeast is not touching any liquid. · After completing the process of making dough in your breadmaker, typically when letting dough rise outside the breadmaker, allow 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size. Dough should be lightly greased and covered with grease proof paper and a dry towel. It should be placed in a warm area free from draughts. · Humidity can cause problems, therefore humidity and high altitudes require adjustments. For high humidity, add an extra tablespoon of flour if consistency is not right. For high altitudes, decrease yeast amount by approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly. · The DOUGH setting is great for mixing, kneading and proofing, allowing dough to rise. Use the automatic breadmaker to prepare this dough so all you need to do is shape and bake it according to your recipe. · When recipes call for a `lightly floured surface, ' use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation. · When you let dough `rest' and `rise' according to a recipe, place it in a warm, draught-free area.
