Tips on Dark Breads

Breads made with whole-grain flours such as whole wheat or whole meal require a bit more tender loving care to ensure that they achieve the height of deliciousness. That is why some of our recipes call for the “HOME MADE MENU” which allows you to selectively set the kneading and rising time for perfect results. If you have never used this feature, consult our Home Bakery operating instructions booklet for the simple steps. You will note that the whole-grain recipes call for white flour also which is necessary to achieve the best tasting, best looking loaf.

Creating Your Own Yeast Breads

Here are some additional tips:• Always use strong bread flour as this will provide the best quality bread.

In general, most bread recipes found in cookbooks are based on 6 – 7 cups of flour and gives two loaves of bread. These recipes can be successfully halved to be made in the Home Bakery.

Adding ingredients such as fruits, nuts and shredded cheese can easily be done using the “RAISIN BREAD” setting which programs the machine to signal you with a “beep” when it is time to add the extra ingredients. Again, check the recipes for guidelines on how much of these ingredients you can add to your doughs. Be aware that additions like these tend to make doughs heavier and somewhat coarser in texture.

When using “fast” yeast, be sure to select the “Quick Baking” course to eliminate one rising period. It will shorten the start to finish time considerably.

The “DOUGH SETTING” course is great for mixing, kneading and proofing (allowing dough to rise) richer doughs like croissant and brioche doughs. Use the Home Bakery to prepare these doughs so all you need to do is shape and bake them according to your recipe.

Special Crusts for Yeast Breads
