Questions and answers continued

Q:What happens if the bread isn’t removed when the bake cycle is complete?

A:The bread machine will automatically go into a keep warm cycle, (in the BASIC, RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, YEAST FREE, GLUTEN FREE, FRENCH and SWEET settings) holding the temperature of the bread for up to 60 minutes. However, as the loaf cools it gives off steam which cannot escape from the bread pan. The bread crust may become soft and the loaf may slightly lose its shape.

Q: Why did the bread not rise?

A:There may be several reasons. Check the protein level of the flour and the use-by-date of the yeast and the flour. The yeast may have failed to activate, the yeast measurements may be inaccurate or sometimes people just forget to add the yeast.

Q: Why do large holes appear inside the bread?

A:Occasionally air bubbles will concentrate at a certain location during the last rising and will bake in that state. This could be caused by too much water and/or yeast or insufficient flour. Check the recipe ingredients and method of weighing/measuring.

Q: Why does the top of the bread collapse?

A:Usually this is because the ingredients are not in balance or a low protein flour is used. Check the method of weighing/measuring the ingredients. Too much yeast, water or other liquid ingredients, or insufficient flour, may cause the bread to be pale on top and collapse while baking.

Q: Why does bread colour differ?

A:This is probably because the ingredients in each recipe differs. A different crust colour may also have been selected.

Q:Are the room and water temperatures important?

A:Yes, room and water temperature influences yeast activity and therefore can affect the quality of your bread. The average room temperature is approximately 20-25°C. Water at room temperature should also be used.

NEVER use hot water as it will kill the yeast.

Note

About Using the PRESET Timer:

Q:Why can’t the PRESET TIMER be set past 13 hours?

A:The ingredients may deteriorate in quality or ferment if they are left inside the bread pan for many hours. This is especially the case during summer, when the PRESET TIMER should be set to a shorter period of time.

Q:Why can’t some ingredients be used with the

PRESET TIMER?

A:Most protein foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, bacon, etc., are perishable and will deteriorate if left unrefrigerated for more than one hour.
