Tips for improved breadmaking

Tips to help you improve your breadmaking.

Ingredients: Use only fresh ingredients.

Timer: When using the timer for delayed bakingin warm weather conditions, you may need to reduce the yeast by ¼ to ½ teaspoon and use only half the amount of sugar called for in the recipe to prevent over-rising.

Slicing: For best results always allow bread to cool before slicing. To slice warm bread use a sharp serrated-edge knife.

Storage: After cooling completely, store immediately in a tightly sealed plastic bag, or covered container. Do not store in the refrigeratoras this will cause the bread to dry out faster. For longer storage, tightly seal bread in a moisture-proof bag and store in the freezer.

Temperature: If you are making bread in a cool room (under 18ºC) use warmer water (38-43ºC).

Bread mixes: You can use bread mixes in your breadmaker. Follow package instructions.Do not exceed bread pan capacity.

Eggs: If you wish to add an egg to a recipe that does not include eggs, crack the egg into a measuring cup and fill with water to the level specified in the recipe.

Cheese: Reduce the amount of water when adding cheese to a recipe as the cheese melts into liquid during baking.

Cooling: To re-use the breadmaker immediately after baking, allow unit to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid open and the pan removed.

Weather: In high humid weather, reduce the amount of water that you use in the recipe by 1 to 2 tablespoons.

Flour: Flour should be stored in a cool dry placeand should stay fresh for up to two years. Alwaysuse highgrade flour for breadmaking and never use self raising flour.

*Yeast: Too little or too much yeast can result in your bread rising too little or too much. Seeinformation opposite...

iInformation

*We recommend you useonly Easybake Yeast.Easybake yeast is acombination of dried yeastand the bread improverVitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).Ascorbic Acid guarantees thefast action of the yeast,allowing a quick rise andeliminating the need to 'knockback' the dough (thereforeappropriate for use inbreadmakers). EasybakeYeast can be added directlyto the dry ingredients (there isno need for re-hydration) andthe dough will only requireone kneading and one periodof proving.
