It also does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works during the baking process. Measuring ingredients The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry measurements are done somewhat differently and are as follows: Liquid measurements Use the cup provided. When reading amounts, the measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of measurement. A `guesstimate' is not good enough as it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe. Dry measurements Dry measurements (especially flours) must be done using the measuring cup provided. The measuring cup is based on the American standard 8 fluid oz cup - British cup is 10 fluid oz. Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated. When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk, honey, molasses) the measuring spoon which is provided must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe. 12 48286 Rev 1 1/10/03 2:55 pm Page 13 Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking, normally `a pinch of this and a dash of that' is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you accurately measure each ingredient for best results. Sweet icing glaze Mix 1 cup 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. Ingredient temperatures All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F). If ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast. 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.
