adapting your own recipes
After you have baked some of the recipes supplied,
you may wish to adapt a few of your own favourites,
which previously have been mixed and kneaded by
hand. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this
booklet, which is similar to your recipe, and use it as
a guide.
Read through the following guidelines to help you,
and be prepared to make adjustments as you go
along.
Make sure you use the correct quantities for the
G
bread maker. Do not exceed the recommended
maximum. If necessary, reduce the recipe to match
the flour and liquid quantities in the breadmaker
recipes.
Always add the liquid to the bread pan first.
G
Separate the yeast from the liquid by adding after
the flour.
Replace fresh yeast with easy blend dried yeast.
G
Note: 6g fresh yeast = 1tsp (5ml) dried yeast.
Use skimmed milk powder and water instead of
G
fresh milk, if using the timer delay setting.
If your conventional recipe uses egg, add the egg
G
as part of the total liquid measurement.
Keep the yeast separate from the other ingredients
G
in the pan until mixing commences.
Check the consistency of the dough during the first
G
few minutes of mixing. Bread machines require a
slightly softer dough, so you may need to add
extra liquid. The dough should be wet enough to
gradually relax back.
removing, slicing and storing
bread
For best results, once your loaf is baked, remove it
G
from the machine and turn out of the bread pan
immediately, although your bread maker will keep it
warm for up to 1 hour if you are not around.
Remove the bread pan from the machine using
G
oven gloves, even if it is during the keep warm
cycle. Turn the pan upside-down and shake
several times to release the cooked bread. If the
bread is difficult to remove, try gently knocking the
corner of the bread pan on a wooden board, or
rotate the base of the shaft underneath the bread
pan.
The kneader should remain inside the bread pan
G
when the bread is released, however occasionally it
may remain inside the loaf of bread. If so, remove it
before slicing the bread, using a heat resistant
plastic utensil to prise it out. Do not use a metal
implement as this may scratch the non-stick
coating on the kneader.
Leave the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes on
G
a wire rack, to allow the steam to escape. The
bread will be difficult to slice if cut hot.
storing
Home-made bread does not contain any
preservatives so should be eaten within 2-3 days of
baking. If not eating immediately, wrap in foil or place
in a plastic bag and seal.
Crispy French-style bread will soften on storage, so
G
is best left uncovered until sliced.
If you wish to keep your bread for a few days,
G
store in the freezer. Slice the bread before freezing,
for easy removal of the amount required.
