[. . . ] However be aware that to make the most of your breadmaker a certain learning curve is necessary. Take the time to get to know it and don't be disappointed if your first attempts aren't quite perfect. But if you're impatient to make your first loaf, one of the recipes in the quick-start paragraph will help you take your first steps. Note that the texture of the bread you'll get is more compact than bread from a bakery. [. . . ] Refer to the recipe book. SELECTING THE COLOUR OF THE CRUST (BROWNING) By default, the colour of the crust is set at MEDIUM. Programmes 5, 9, 11 do not have a colour setting. Three choices are possible: LIGHT/MEDIUM/DARK. If you want to change the default setting, press the button until the indicator light facing the desired setting comes on. START/STOP Press the button to switch the appliance on. To stop the programme or to cancel delayed programming, hold down on the button for 5 seconds. CYCLES On pages 22-23 is a table showing the steps in the various cycles according to the chosen programme. KNEADING For forming the dough's structure so that it can rise better. > REST Allows the dough to rest to improve kneading quality. > RISING Time during which the yeast works to let the bread rise and to develop its aroma. > BAKING Transforms the dough into bread and gives it a golden, crusty crust. > WARMING Keeps the bread warm after baking. It is recommende that the bread should be turned out promptly after baking, however. KNEADING: the dough is in the 1st or 2nd kneading cycle or in a stirring period between rising cycles. During this cycle, and for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 you can add ingredients: dried fruit or nuts, olives, bacon pieces, etc. A beep indicates when you can intervene. See the summary table for preparation times (page 22-23) and the "extra" column. This column indicates the time that will be displayed on your appliance's screen when the beep sounds. For more precise information on how long before the beep sounds, subtract the "extra" column time from the total baking time. In this case, use the hook accessory as follows: > once the loaf is turned out, lay it on its side while still hot and hold it down with one hand, wearing an oven glove, > with the other hand, insert the hook 1 in the axis of the kneading paddle (drawing 1), > pull gently to release the kneading paddle (drawing 2), 2 > repeat for the second kneading paddle > turn the loaf upright and stand on a grid to cool. INGREDIENTS FATS AND OILS: fats make the bread softer and tastier. If you use butter, cut it into tiny pieces so that it is distributed evenly throughout the preparation, or soften it. You can substitute 15g butter for 1 tablespoon of oil. Keep the fat from coming into contact with the yeast, as fat can prevent yeast from rehydrating. Do not use low fat spreads or butter substitutes. EGGS: eggs make the dough richer, improve the colour of the bread and encourage the development of the soft, white part. If you use eggs, reduce the quantity of liquid you use proportionally. Break the egg and top up with the liquid until you reach the quantity of liquid indicated in the recipe. Recipes are designed for one 50 g size egg; if your eggs are bigger, add a little flour; if they are smaller, use less flour. MILK: recipes use either fresh or powdered milk. If using powdered milk, add the quantity of water stated in the recipe.
