100mg dose. The tablet must be crushed between 2 spoons to create a powder. If using powder, refer to the packet instructions, but a 1/4 of a teaspoon is usually recommended.

Measuring

Ingredients

The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately. It is extremely important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. The ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid and dry measurements are done somewhat differently and are as follows:

Liquid measurements

Use the cup provided A. When reading amounts, the measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle). The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of measurement. A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

Dry measurements

Dry measurements (especially flours) must be done using the measuring cup provided. The measuring cup is based on the American standard 8 fluid oz cup - British cup is 10 fluid oz. A

Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning the ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack the ingredients and you will end up with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated.

When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk, honey, molasses), the measuring spoon which is provided must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped, as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

DO NOT USE NORMAL KITCHEN TEASPOONS OR TABLESPOONS.

Hints on measuring ingredients

The cup is marked in various ‘volume measurement’ scales. The recipes in this book use the ‘cup’ volume which is based on the ‘American’ cup of 8floz and is conveniently marked in 1/16 divisions.

If you prefer to use weight (gms) as a measurement, fill and weigh the required number of cups and record this conversion. ie: 2 cups = xx gms 3 cups = xxx gms

You must use a good quality set of accurate scales, we prefer to use the ‘cup’ measure for consistency and accuracy.

A conversion table is provided on page 18.

There are 2 spoons provided to

cover all combinations of quantities in the recipes B:

Tablespoon (tbsp) and teaspoon (tsp).

For 1/2 teaspoon measurements, use the 1/4 tsp twice.

1 tsp = 5 millilitres

1 tbsp = 3 tsp = 15 millilitres

Hint: measure dry ingredients first with the tablespoon, then wet (oil) last.

Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This machine requires only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’ is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker requires you accurately measure each ingredient for best results.

Ingredient temperatures

All ingredients, including the machine and pan, and especially liquids (water or milk), should be warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F).

If ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will not activate

the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.

Creating your own yeast breads

With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is gone.

Inside this talented machine with an electronic brain, the dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and baked without you being present. The automatic breadmaker can also just prepare the dough, and when it's ready, you shape, allow to rise and bake in a conventional oven. The recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’ for this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a particular loaf of bread, and each was tested in our machines. It is extremely important not to exceed the amounts of flour specified in each of the recipes or else it could result in unsatisfactory baking performance. When creating your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old favourite, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for converting portions from your recipe to your breadmaker.
