Important Measuring Tips

Each ingredient in a loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results.

For optimum results, we recommend weighing ingredients on a kitchen scale. This is especially important with flour. Because flour aerates, an accurate amount is needed to achieve an optimum loaf of bread.

Weight measurements are given for each recipe. If kitchen scales are not available, ensure the following instructions are followed:

Dry ingredients

Use a metric measuring spoon or cup. Do not use tableware spoons or cups. Spoon the dry ingredients loosely into the spoon or cup and level off with a flat knife. This is particularly important with flour. Do not pack dry ingredients down into the cup or tap the cup unless otherwise stated in the recipe.

Liquids

Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the level indicated. Check your cup measurement by placing the measuring cup on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.

Solid fats

Fill a metric measuring spoon or cups to the level indicated and level off with a flat knife.

Last Things Last

Always place the liquid in the bread pan first, the dry mix ingredients in next. Then, make a small pocket in the top of the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the pocket. Wipe away any spills from around the outside of the pan. This will ensure a well risen and evenly baked loaf.

Adding Fruits and Nuts

Fruits and nuts are added towards the end of the kneading cycle. The machine will beep to let you know it is time to add fruit or nuts. If they are added before the Fruit and Nut beep, the fruit will be pureed due to excessive kneading.
