3. Add ingredients to the Bread Pan

a)If using the collapsible paddle, ensure it is securely inserted and in the upright position.

b)Before adding ingredients to the bread pan, ensure they are:

−−Fresh. In particular, fresh flour and yeast are critical – check the ‘Best Before Date’ stamped on the package. For tips on checking the freshness of your yeast, refer to ‘Yeast’, page 46.

−−Measured and weighed accurately. Refer to ‘Tips for Better Bread Making - Measuring and Weighing Ingredients’, page 39.

−−At room temperature 20°C-25°C (68°F-77°F), except all liquids which should be 27°C (80°F) unless stated otherwise. Temperatures too cool or too warm can prevent the yeast from activating and affect the way the bread rises and bakes.

c)Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe to ensure the dough mixes thoroughly and rises sufficiently. Wipe any spilt ingredients from the rim and outside of the pan and ensure it is clean and dry.

−−Liquid ingredients

−−Fats
