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.

We recommend using Australian standard measuring jugs, cups and spoons. Weight measurements are provided if you wish to use a kitchen scale.

Australian standard

Tablespoon = 20mls

Tablespoon = 5mls

1 cup = 250mls

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 jug to the level indicated. Check your jug measurement by placing the measuring jug on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.

Note: For greater accuracy water can be weighed using the conversion:

1ml = 1g water

Solid fats

Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the level indicated and level off with a flat knife. Alternatively use kitchen scales.

Last Things Last

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.
