YOUR FIRST LOAF (METHOD) | 20 |
Method
1.Remove the bread pan from the machine.
2.Put the ingredients into the pan in the order they are listed above
3.When it comes to adding the yeast, make a small well in the flour and pour the yeast granules into it. This keeps the yeast dry until the process starts.
4.Put the bread pan into the machine, turning it clockwise to lock it into place. Close the lid: NOTE: the machine won’t work with the lid up!
5.Press the ‘PROG’ button until the NORMAL programme indicator is lit
6.Press the START/STOP button to start the process
IMPORTANT: The motor doesn’t start immediately. There is a warming
period first.
7.When the process is complete the machine will beep.
8.Lift the lid of the machine, then, using oven gloves or a tea towel, turn the pan
9.Turn the pan upside down and shake lightly until the loaf slides out.
Place the loaf onto a wire tray or rack to cool.
NOTES: The kneading blade may stay in the pan or it may come out in the loaf – If you need to remove the blade from the loaf, wait until the loaf is cool first. Make a small cut in the underside of the loaf and the blade should slide out. If the blade stays in the pan simply fill the pan with water, covering the blade. Leave it to stand for an hour. The blade should then be easy to remove.
