Follow the steps below to check whether your yeast is fresh and active.

Pour ½ cup warm water (110˚ F to 120˚ F) into a measuring cup.

Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. yeast over the water.

Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10 min. Do not stir the water.

The froth should be up to 1 cup. If the froth does not reach 1 cup, the yeast is dead or inactive.

8.SALT

Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. Never use too much salt in a recipe, as it can prevent the yeast from rising.

9.EGG

Eggs can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourishing and larger in size. Make sure to stir eggs before adding to Bread Pan.

10.BUTTER & VEGETABLE OIL

Oil and butter can make bread softer and more perishable. Butter should be melted or softened before using.

11.BAKING POWDER

Baking powder is used for rising when using an ULTRA FAST program to make bread and cake. The ULTRA FAST programs do not have a rising cycle, so the baking powder produces air, which forms bubbles to soften the texture of the bread.

12.BAKING SODA

See Baking Powder. It can also used in combination with baking powder.

WATER & OTHER LIQUIDS

Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. The temperature of water used to make bread is very important. Do not add cold water to bread dough. The temperature of water used to dissolve yeast must be between 110˚ F to 120˚ F. When yeast is combined with flour and other dry ingredients, water temperature between 120˚ F and 130˚ F is best.

The water may be substituted with fresh milk or water mixed with 2% milk powder, which may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color. Some recipes may call for juice for the purpose of enhancing bread flavor.

INGREDIENT MEASUREMENTS

In order to make good bread, you must make sure to measure ingredients precisely. It is strongly suggested that you use a measuring cup or measuring spoon (included) to obtain accurate amounts, otherwise the bread may not bake properly.

1 Tbsp. = 3 Tsp.

1 Packet Dry Yeast = 2 Tsp.

1.Weighing Liquid Ingredients

Water, fresh milk or milk powder should be measured with measuring cups. When you measure cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the Measuring Cup thoroughly between uses.

2.Dry Measurements
