What Ingredients to use.
To achieve an optimum loaf of bread, always use fresh, quality ingredients.
Flour
Good quality flour should be used.
High protein bread flour can also be used.
It is important to weigh the flour required for each recipe as flour naturally aerates. This will ensure a perfectly baked loaf.
Bulk packs of flour may be used, however the result of your bread may vary. The texture and height of the bread will be inconsistent if the flour is stored for long periods of time in unsatisfactory conditions. Purchase bulk packs of flour only if baking constantly.
Bread mixes
A variety of bread mixes
can be used in your bread maker. Directions of use are covered in the Recipe section.
Hints
•Different brands of yeast, used with different brands of flour, will influence the size and texture of your bread. Experiment with these ingredients to determine which combination of ingredients gives you the best result.
•It is normal for breads to be inconsistent in height and texture even if you are using the same ingredients time and time again. This inconsistency is usually influenced by the natural varying protein levels of wheat in the flour.
