Measuring ingredients

The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately.

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

Hints on measuring ingredients

•The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the ‘American cup of 8floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16 divisions.

•If you prefer to use weight (gms) as a measurement fill and weigh the required number of cups and record this conversion.

ie) 2 cups = xx gms 3 cups = xxx gms

You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer to use the ‘cup’ measure for consistency and accuracy.

A conversion table is provided page 20.
