[. . . ] After mixing the dough, the appliance maintains the optimum temperature for leavening during this phase of the process. If a dough only cycle has been chosen, the appliance stops at the end of the first leavening phase. The dough can now be removed and worked to make flatbread, pizza or other creations, before placing it in the oven for baking. Punching down After leavening, the baker usually "punches down" the dough. This eliminates large undesirable air and gas bubbles performed during leavening and gives the bread a more even appetising consistency. The appliance manages this operation automatically by rotating the paddle the exact number of times required. Second leavening After punching down, the bread is leavened again for a variable length of time according to type. For example, wholemeal bread requires a longer leavening time because the flour contains bran and wheat germ which hinder the process. The appliance automatically regulates the temperature and time of this second leavening phase according to the settings. Baking The appliance automatically adjusts baking time for a perfect result every time!Cooling In normal baking, the baker removes the bread immediately from the pan to prevent the crust from becoming heavy. Do not use perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese with the Delay Bake function. Keep dry products in sealed pans to avoid them deteriorating. Slicing the bread For best results, leave the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Place the loaf sideways on and cut with a bread knife using a sawing movement. Use of an electric bread knife facilitates and standardises this operation. Freezing the bread Before freezing fresh bread, leave it to cool down completely and wrap in plastic. Slice the bread before freezing and use as needed. Removing the bread from the pan Just as with a cake, the bread should be allowed to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Leave the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Toppings During baking, you can add ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and pieces of bacon on top of the bread. Open the lid, brush the bread with a little milk or egg yolk, then add the topping. [. . . ] And if I don't have kitchen scales?For best results, you should weigh the flour (1 cup = 135g).
