Measuring

THE most important secret of making bread.

Exact measurements. That’s the key to successfully baking bread. Exact measurements.

With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the cups/

ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it

at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Then, double check.

With dry ingredients, always “level off” the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.

The SECOND most important secret of making bread.

Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means:

—FIRST, liquid ingredients —SECOND, dry ingredients —LAST, yeast

Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, (between 77°–85° F) unless otherwise noted in the recipe .
