Bread dough
Insert the dough blade into the bowl. Use instant active dry yeast and include with the dry ingredients in the processing bowl. Add 3 cups / 450g, add softened, cubed butter and process using the START/PAUSE button until the butter is absorbed into the flour. If using oil, with the motor running, add the oil through the small feed chute and process until the mixture forms a soft, elastic ball of dough. Do not over process.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable. Place dough into large, greased mixing bowl and stand covered in a warm place until doubled in size. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough, allow to rise in a warm area then bake in a hot oven.
Biscuit dough
Insert the dough blade (or you can use the quad blade) into the bowl. Place softened butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START/PAUSE button until lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time down the small feed chute, mixing well after each addition. Place dry ingredients into the processing bowl and use the PULSE button until ingredients are just combined. Add dried fruit, nuts, etc. through the small feed chute and use the PULSE button until the additions are folded through evenly.
Melt ‘n’ mix biscuits
Insert the dough blade into the bowl. Place melted ingredients, followed by liquid ingredients then dry ingredients into the processing bowl. Process ingredients using the PULSE button until just combined. If necessary, interrupt the processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl. Replace the lid and continue but do not
shredding and grating with the reversible shredder
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling first.
First cut the food to fit the length of the feed chute (no more than 14cm). Food can be shredded length ways to make a long shred.
If food fits without the need to cut, trim one end so that it sits flat in feed chute.
Reversible Shredder
1.Place either the coarse or fine shredding disc onto the disc spindle and then into the processing bowl.
2.Prepare food as directed in the following food categories or recipes.
Both thick and thin grating can be achieved by using either the coarse or fine shredding disc. Use one side of the disc for coarse grating. Carefully turn over the disc so that the process required is facing upwards.
