d)If using the collapsible paddle, ensure it is inserted in the upright position for thorough mixing during the ‘knead 1’ phase. The collapsible paddle will automatically collapse into the flat position then return to the upright position during the appropriate times in the ‘knead 2’, ‘rise’ and ‘punch-down’ phases, then collapse before the ‘bake’ phase begins to minimize the hole at the bottom of the baked loaf.

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. In particular, it is very important to spoon or scoop the dry ingredients loosely into the measuring cup then level the top of the cup by sweeping the excess with the back of a knife or spoon handle. NEVER scoop the cup into the flour bag, tap the cup or pack ingredients into the cup as this extra amount can affect the critical balance of the recipe.

−−At room temperature 68°F-77°F (20°C-25°C), except all liquids which should be 80°F (27°C) 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.
