ABOUT INGREDIENTS:
Q: Can other bread recipes be made in this
machine?
A: The recipes in this book are sized so that the
dough is kneaded properly and the finished
bread does not exceed the bread pan capacity.
Use only recipes will similar quantities of
ingredients.
Q: Can fresh milk be used instead of dry milk?
A: Yes, but not when using the PRESET TIMER.
Bread made with fresh milk will have a heavier
texture than bread made with milk powder. If
using fresh milk substitute the water with fresh
milk and omit the milk powder. Scald the milk
then cool before adding to the other dough
ingredients.
Q: Can butter or margarine be used in place of
oil?
A: Yes, but the bread crumb may appear a more
creamy or yellow colour.
Q: Can other sweetening agents be used in
place of sugar?
A: Yes, honey, golden syrup or brown sugar can
be used. Do not use powdered or liquid artificial
sweeteners. However granulated ‘SPLENDA’
was successfully tested during recipe
development. When substituting honey or
similar sweet liquids for sugar, reduce the
water by the same amount.
Q: Can salt be omitted?
A: Salt plays a very important part in bread
making. Omitting it will decrease water
retention in the dough, as well as affect mixing,
the strength of the gluten development and the
fermentation of the yeast. In the finished bread,
salt improves the loaf shape, crumb structure
and crust colour, as well as extending shelf life
and enhancing flavour.
Q: Why do the ingredients need to be placed into
the pan in the specified order?
A: To ensure all dry ingredients are mixed
with water and to avoid the yeast activating
prematurely with the water when using the
PRESET TIMER.
ABOUT BAKING BREAD:
Q: The programmed setting has been interrupted
by a power failure or switched off at the
power outlet during the bread making
process. What can I do?
A: If the power is accidentally turned off for 5
minutes or less during the operation, the
Baker’s Oven has a 5 minute memory
function, that will automatically resume bread
making, where it was interrupted, when power
is restored.
If the operation cannot be resumed or the
setting is cancelled:
During the kneading stage – Re-select the
bread setting again and allow dough to re
knead and continue through the rising and
baking process. The result may be a loaf higher
in volume and lighter in texture.
During the rising stage – Turn the bread
maker off. Leave the dough in the pan and in
the baking chamber with the lid closed. Allow
the dough to rise until almost near the top of
the pan. Turn the bread maker on. Select the
BAKE ONLY setting. Press the START/STOP
button.
During the baking cycle – Select the BAKE
ONLY setting. Press the START/STOP button.
