Bread mixes
Use the Ôbasic white settingÕ
Follow the information for bread mixes on the bread mix packet.
There are two types of bread mixes currently available.
1Just add water
These mixes are complete and they have all the necessary ingredients provided, even the yeast. You only add water.
IMPORTANT: Follow the packet instructions as some mixes contain more than the normal amount of yeast, which could over rise in the pan. Use 3 cups of mix maximum.
These mixes are more prone to over rising and collapsing when the weather is hot and humid. Since these mixes are complete we cannot advise how to adjust, as with our own recipes. Bake in the coolest part of the day, use water between 21¡- 28¡C.
2Just add flour and water These mixes have the necessary ingredients in separate sachets. Just add water and flour. Remember strong white bread flour is required. A packet of this mix will produce a 500g loaf just over 1 lb.

Liquids, flour and others
We recommend that you use the cup provided for all recipes for consistency between brands and types of flour.
The cup provided is based on the American cup measurement of 8 Floz.
For people who prefer to use their own measuring utensils, alternative measurements are in millilitres (ml) and cubic centimetres (cc) for liquid measurement and grams (gm) for weight of flour, sugar and fruit.
Note: A good quality set of accurate kitchen scales with divisions and accuracy to 2 grams are required.
A measuring jug with divisions of 2 ml is required.
The tablespoon and teaspoon provided are required to measure the smaller quantities. A set of British standard spoons with ÔscrapeÕ level tops can be used.
