Tips for Better Bread Making

Measuring ingredients when developing your own recipes

Use these tips to make developing or adapting a recipe easier.

Loaf sizes

As a general formula:

2-cup flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 1 pound

3-cup flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 1½ pounds 4-cup flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 2 pounds

5-cup flour recipe will produce a loaf that is about 2½ pounds

NOTE

Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread may not mix properly. The recipes in this book have been especially designed and tested to produce 1lb to 2.5lb (0.5kg to 1.25kg) loaves, so may have slightly more or less flour than the general formula above. However if developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a minimum 2 cups and maximum 4.5 cups of total dry ingredients is recommended to ensure the dough does not rise over the bread pan. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum 3 cups of fruit should be used.

Eggs

As a general formula:

1 egg	= ¼ liquid cup
1 egg white	= 3 tablespoons
1 egg yolk	= 1 tablespoon
1 egg	= 3 tablespoons liquid egg substitute
1 egg	= 1 tablespoon egg white powder + 2 tablespoons
	cold water beaten until foamy

Milk

As a general formula:

1 cup fresh milk = 3 tablespoons dry milk powder + 1 cup water. Use 4-5 tablespoons for a richer flavor.
