Accurate measuring is essential
It is essential to measure ingredient quantities carefully, even slight
changes may effect loaf quality
Yeast content
If loaf rises too high and then collapses ensure the ingredients were
measured accurately. If problem persists, reduce yeast by quarter of
a teaspoon

About this breadmaker
About the recipes
It has two settings to make a small 454g (1.0lb) or
large 680g (1.5lb) loaf (approx weight - depends
on recipe).
•A Fruit and Nut beep signals when extra
ingredients can be added so they don’t get
chopped by the kneading blade.
Both loaf sizes are made on the 1.5lb setting.
There is a crusty setting to create that extra crusty
loaf (certain programs only).
The recipes in this booklet have been thoroughly
tested to ensure best results. Recipes have been
created by home economists specifically for this
machine and may not produce acceptable results in
other similar machines.
Always add ingredients in the order they are listed
in the recipe.
Accurate measuring of ingredients is vital. Do not
use larger amounts.
Before first use
Introduction
The smell of homemade bread wafting around the
home is one of those great smells. Bread, fresh out of
the oven, with melting butter is a memorable taste
sensation. The Morphy Richards automatic
breadmaker can create that experience every
morning.
There's very little effort on the part of the baker,
because the breadmaker is a sophisticated appliance
with a computer memory that does all the work for
you.
It’s as simple as one-two-three.
1 Put in the ingredients.
2 Select program from the menus and press start.
3 Wait for your bread.
But don't stop at baking bread in this appliance.
Besides being able to do all kinds of speciality
breads, including wholewheat, you can also prepare
doughs for bread rolls, pizza, cake and jam.
Everything is easy and tastes homemade - because it
is.
Before first use, please take a few minutes to read
this instruction book and to find a place to keep it
handy for reference. Pay particular attention to the
safety instructions.
1 Carefully unpack the breadmaker and remove all
packaging materials.
2 Remove any dust that may have accumulated
during packing
3 Wipe the baking pan, kneading blade and outside
surface of the breadmaker with a clean, damp
cloth. The bread pan is non-stick coated. Do not
use scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of
the breadmaker.
4 For first time use use oil, butter or margerine to
grease the bread pan and bake empty for about
10 minutes (select the Extrabake program).
5 Clean once more.
6 Place the kneading blade on the axle in the
baking pan.
In manufacture it is necessary to lightly grease
some parts of the appliance. This may result in the
unit emitting some vapour when first used, this is
normal.

Program descriptions
1 Basic white (3:00 and 2:53)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured
breads with added herbs and raisins.
2 French (3:50 and 3:40)
For the baking of light weight bread such as
french bread which has a crisper crust and light
texture.
3 Wholewheat (3:40 and 3:32)
For the baking of bread containing significant
amounts of wholewheat. This setting has longer
preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the
water and expand. It is not advised to use the
delay timer as this can produce poor results.
4 Quick (1:40)
For white bread that is required in a shorter time.
Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with
a dense texture.
5 Sweet (2:55 and 2:50)
For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a
crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper
crust is produced by the sugar ‘burning’.
6 Dough (1:30)
This setting only makes the dough and will not
bake the final bread. Remove the dough and
shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any
dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not
exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.
7 Jam (1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits
and marmalade from Seville oranges. Do not
increase the quantity or allow the recipe to boil
over the pan into the baking chamber. Should this
happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove
the pan carefully, allow to cool a little and clean
thoroughly.
8 Cake (2:50)
This setting will mix ingredients and then bake for
a preset time. It is required to mix two groups of
ingredients in bowls before adding to the
breadmaker (see cake recipes).
9 Sandwich (3:00 and 2:55)
This is to bake light textured bread but with a
softer and thicker crust.
10 Extra bake (1:00)
This setting is bake only and can be used to
increase the baking time on selected settings. This
is especially useful to help ‘set’ jams and
marmalade. When started the default time is 1
hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10
minute intervals. You will have to manually switch
this off by pressing the stop button, when you
have completed the Extrabake process. It is
advised that you check the condition of the bread
or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute intervals.
Pressing increases the time in increments of 10
minutes.
When selecting Extrabake straight after another
program, if the message H:HH is displayed, open
the lid, remove the pan and allow to cool for 10
minutes. When cool, replace the baking pan and
its contents, set program and press start.

Using your breadmaker
1 Take out the pan
Open the lid and remove the pan by lifting the
handle, turning anti-clockwise and lifting out.
Place on the work surface. It is important that the
pan is filled with ingredients outside the machine
so that any accidental spillage is not ignited by the
heating elements.
2 Attach the blade
Attach the kneading blade to the shaft by pushing
on.
3 Measure ingredients
Measure the ingredients required and add them all
into the pan in the order listed. See later section
‘Measuring your ingredients’).
When adding the yeast to the baking pan, take
care that the yeast does not come into contact
with the water or any other liquid, as it will start to
activate immediately.
Use tepid water 21-28˚C.
4 Put pan back in
Place the baking pan back in the breadmaker,
turning clockwise to lock into place. Close the lid.
5 Plug in
Plug into the power supply. The breadmaker will
automatically be set to basic bread menu and normal
time.
Everytime you press a button you will hear a beep to
confirm.
6 Select program
Choose the desired setting from the list by
pressing the Menu button.
7 Select weight
Press Loaf size button to choose between crusty
and small/large. The setting defaults to crusty
when the breadmaker is switched on.
8 Select colour
Choose desired crust colour by pressing Colour
button.
9 Select the delay time
If you wish the bread to be ready later, set the
time delay now, as described in next section.
10 Start
Press the Start Stop button to start the machine. The
remaining time will count down in one minute
increments.
11
Progress
The breadmaker will automatically proceed through
the programmed stages as shown in the ‘Baking
cycle times’ section. If the breadmaker has a program
selected that has a second kneading process, beeps
sound to inform that fruits and/or nuts may be added.
It is possible that steam will escape through the vents
during baking, this is normal.
12 Finish
When the program is completed
and the bread is
baked
the display shows 0:00 and the beeper will
sound.
13 Keep warm
The keep warm function will circulate hot air for a
further 60 minutes on most settings (see ‘Baking
cycle times’ section). For best results, remove the
baking pan and loaf within this period or when the
initial program is completed. 10 beeps will be
heard when the keep warm period is finished.
14 Remove the food
Press Stop. Open the lid.
WARNING: Use oven gloves when removing the
baking pan (taking care as it is very hot).
15 Turn out the bread
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes,
then turn the pan upside down and tap the bread
from the pan onto a rack to cool. Fill the pan with
warm water immediately to prevent the blade from
sticking to the shaft.
Occasionally the kneading blade will stay in the
loaf. Wait until the loaf is cool and then remove the
blade with a wooden or plastic utensil to avoid
damage to the non-stick surface.
16 Always unplug the appliance after use.
Do not open the lid whilst the breadmaker is
operating as this will affect the quality of the
bread, especially its ability to rise properly. Only
open the lid when the recipe needs you to add
additional ingredients, see recipes.
Room temperature note
The breadmaker will work well in a wide range of
temperatures, but there could be a difference in loaf
size between a very warm room and a very cold
room. We recomend the room temperature should be
between 15˚C and 34˚C.

Using the timer
Use the timer when you want the bread ready
later, or in the morning. A maximum of 13 hours can
be set. Check if function is available by consulting
‘Baking cycle times’ section. Do not use this function
with recipes that use perishable ingredients such as
eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.
1 Decide when you want the bread to be ready and
calculate the difference in time btween now and
then. For example, if you want a loaf at 8am, and
it is now 7.30pm, the difference is 12 1/2 hours.
2 Enter this time by pressing ‘Time and ‘Time
buttons. Arrows will move time up or down in 10-
minute increments. After you have pressed Start,
the colon (:) will flash.
If you have selected the wrong time press stop for
2 seconds. The timer will go back to the program
time, repeat step 1 and 2.
3 The timer delay is up to a maximum of 13 hours.
This is when the bread will be ready to remove
from the machine, see page 8 item 14 ‘Remove
the food’.
Beeper
The beeper sounds:
when pressing any button;
during the second kneading cycle of certain
programs to indicate that cereals, fruit, nuts or
other ingredients can be added;
when the program finishes;
when keep warm finishes.
Power interuption
After a brief power supply failure
if the program has not yet reached rise 1, press
Start and the program will continue using the
automatic repeat function;
if it has gone beyond this point, the process must
be started from the very beginning. The
ingredients will have to be discarded and you
must start again with fresh ingredients.
Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a
serrated blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic
bag at room temperature for up to three days. If
weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator
overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread
in a tightly covered container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it
out to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives it
tends to dry out and become stale faster than
commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used
in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding,
or stuffing.

Care and cleaning
1 Caution: To prevent electrical shock, unplug
the unit before cleaning.
2 Wait until the breadmaker has cooled.
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse or splash either the
body or lid in any liquid as this may cause
damage and/or electric shock.
3 Exterior: Wipe the lid and outer body of the unit
with a damp cloth or slightly dampened sponge.
4 Interior: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the
interior of the breadmaker.
5 Baking pan: Clean the baking pan with warm
water, soap is not necessary. Avoid scratching the
non-stick surface. Dry it thoroughly before placing
it back in the baking chamber.
Do not wash the baking pan, measuring cup,
spoon or kneading blades in the dishwasher.
Do not soak the baking pan for long periods as
this could interfere with the working of the drive
shaft.
If the paddle becomes stuck in the bread pan,
pour hot water over it and allow to soak for 30
minutes. This will enable you to remove the
paddle more easily.
Be sure the appliance is completely cooled before
storing away.
Do not use any of these when cleaning
Paint thinner
Benzine
Steel wool pads
Polishing powder
Chemical dustcloth
Special care for the non-stick finish
Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal
utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks.
The coating may change colour after long use,
this is only caused by moisture and steam and will
not affect the performance of the unit or quality of
your bread.
The hole in the centre of the kneading blade
shoud be cleaned, then add a drop of cooking oil
and replace it on the spindle in the baking pan. This
will prevent sticking of the blade.
Keep all air vents and openings clear of dust.
Storing the unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing including
wiping any moisture from the viewing window. Close
the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.

Know your ingredients
Understanding baking
It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the
creativity of the chef while baking bread is much
more of a science. This means that the process of
combining flour, water and yeast results in a reaction
that produces bread. You have to remember that
when the ingredients combine with each other they
produce a specific result. Read the following
information carefully to gain a better understanding of
the importance each ingredient plays in the
breadmaking process.
Important note on flours
Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different
by virtue of how they were grown, milled, stored, etc.
You may find that you will have to experiment with
different brands of flour to help you make that perfect
loaf. Storage is also very important, as all flours
should be kept in an airtight container.
All purpose flour/plain flour
All purpose Flour is a blend of refined hard and
soft wheat flours especially suitable for making cake.
This type of flour should be used for recipes in the
cake/quick bread section.
Strong white flour/bread flour
Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that has
been treated with conditioners that give dough a
greater suitability for kneading. Bread Flour typically
has a higher gluten concentration than All purpose
flour; however, depending on different milling
practices, this may vary. Strong plain flour or bread
flour are recommended for use with this breadmaker.
Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour
Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour is milled from
the entire wheat kernel which contains the bran and
germ and makes it heavier and richer in nutrients
than white flour. Breads made with this flour are
usually smaller and heavier than white loaves. To
overcome this whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour can
be mixed with Bread flour or strong plain flour to
produce a high light textured bread.
Self-raising flour
Self-raising Flour contains unnecessary leavening
ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake
making. It is not recommended for use.
Bran
Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse
outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated
from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added
in small quantities to bread for nutritional enrichment,
heartiness and flavour. They are also used to
enhance the texture of bread.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut oats. They
are used primarily to enhance flavour and texture.
Other ingredients
Yeasts (active dry yeast)
Yeast through a fermentation process produces gas
(carbon dioxide) necessary to make the bread rise. Yeast
must be able to feed on sugar and flour carbohydrates in
order to produce this gas. Fast action granular yeast is
used in all recipes that call for yeast. There are basically
three different types of yeast available, fresh, traditional
dry active and fast action.
It is recommended that fast
action yeast be used.
Fresh or compressed cake yeast
is not recommended as they will produce poor results.
Store yeast according to manufacturers instructions.
Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date.
Once a package or can of yeast is opened it is important
that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and
refrigerated as soon as possible for future use. Often
bread or dough, which fails to rise, is due to stale yeast
being used. The following test can be used to determine
whether your yeast is stale and inactive:
1 Place half a cup of lukewarm water into a small
bowl or cup.
2 Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2
tsp. of yeast over the surface.
3 Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit
for 10 minutes undisturbed.
4 The mixture should foam and produce a strong
yeast aroma. If this does not occur, discard
mixture and start again with another packet of
dried yeast.
Sugar
Sugar is important for the colour and flavour of
breads. It is also food for the yeast as it is part of the
fermentation process. Artificial sweeteners cannot be
used as a substitute for sugar as the yeast will not react
properly with them.
Salt
Salt is necessary to balance the flavour of breads and
cakes, as well as for the crust colour that develops during
baking. Salt also limits the growth of yeast so the
amounts shown in the recipes should not be increased.
For dietary reasons it may be reduced, however, your
baking may suffer.
11
48285 Rev 2 for 250 print 29/10/03 9:26 am Page 11
Liquids/milk
Liquids such as milk or a combination of
powdered milk and water, can be used when making
bread. Milk will improve flavour, provide a velvety
texture and soften the crust, while water alone will
produce a crispier crust. Some liquids call for juice
(orange, apple, etc) to be added as a flavour
enhancer. Note: For most recipes we suggest the use
of dry skimmed milk.
Eggs
Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread
doughs and cakes.
Sunflower oil
‘Shortens’ or tenderises the texture of yeast breads.
Butter or margarine can be used as a substitute. If butter
or margarine is used direct from the refrigerator it should
be softened for easier blending during the mixing cycle.
Baking powder
Baking powder is a raising agent used in cakes. This
type of raising agent does not require rising time before
baking as the chemical reaction works when liquid
ingredients are added.
Bicarbonate of soda
Bicarbonate of soda is another raising agent not to be
confused or substituted for baking powder. It also does
not require rising time before baking as the chemical
reaction works during the baking process.
Measuring ingredients
The key and most important step when using your
breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely
and accurately. It is extremely important to measure
each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could
result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. The
ingredients must also be added into the baking pan
in the order in which they are given in each recipe.
Liquid and dry measurements are done somewhat
differently and are as follows:
Liquid measurements
Use the cup provided. When reading amounts, the
measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat
surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle).
The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of
measurement. A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough as
it could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.
Dry measurements
Dry measurements (especially flours) must be
done using the measuring cup provided. The
measuring cup is based on the American standard 8
fluid oz cup - British cup is 10 fluid oz. Dry measuring
must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the
measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with
a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will
pack the ingredients and you will end up with more
than is required. This extra amount could affect the
balance of the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless
stated.
When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid
ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk,
honey, molasses) the measuring spoon which is
provided must be used. Measurements must be
level, not heaped as this small difference could throw
out the critical balance of the recipe.

Your breadmaker produces delicious baked
goods with ease. This machine requires only that you
carefully follow the recipe instructions. In basic
cooking, normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’
is fine, but not for breadmakers. Using an automatic
breadmaker requires you accurately measure each
ingredient for best results.
Ingredient temperatures
All ingredients, including the machine and pan,
and especially liquids (water or milk), should be
warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F).
If
ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will not
activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above 40°C
(104°F), may kill the yeast.
Creating your own yeast breads
With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced
baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a
loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is gone.
Inside this talented machine with an electronic brain, the
dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and baked without
you being present. The automatic breadmaker can also
just prepare the dough, and when it's ready, you shape,
allow to rise and bake in a conventional oven. The
recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’ for this
breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best
compliment a particular loaf of bread, and each was
tested in our machines.
It is extremely important not
to exceed the amounts of flour specified in each
of the recipes or else it could result in
unsatisfactory baking performance.
When creating
your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old favourite,
use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for
converting portions from your recipe to your breadmaker.
Special glazes for yeast breads
Give your just baked bread a professional finish.
Select one of the following special glazes to enhance
your bread.
Egg glaze
Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water
together, brush generously. Note: apply only to
doughs before baking.
Melted butter crust
Brush melted butter over just baked bread for a
softer, tender crust.
Milk glaze
For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread
with milk or cream.
Sweet icing glaze
Mix 1 cup sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of
milk to make a glaze consistency and drizzle over raisin
bread or sweet breads.
Poppy/Sesame/Caraway seed/Oatmeal
Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously
over just glazed bread.
Other tips
Place all recipe ingredients into the baking pan so
that yeast is not touching any liquid.
After completing the process of making dough in
your breadmaker, typically when letting dough rise
outside the breadmaker, allow 30 minutes or until
dough doubles in size. Dough should be lightly
greased and covered with grease proof paper and
a dry towel. It should be placed in a warm area
free from drafts.
Humidity can cause problems, therefore humidity
and high altitudes require adjustments. For high
humidity, add an extra tablespoon of flour if
consistency is not right. For high altitudes,
decrease yeast amount by approximately
1
/
4
teaspoon, and decrease sugar and/or water or
milk slightly.
The DOUGH setting is great for mixing, kneading
and proofing, allowing dough to rise. Use the
automatic breadmaker to prepare this dough so
all you need to do is shape and bake it according
to your recipe.
When recipes call for a ‘lightly floured surface,’
use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the
surface. You may want to lightly flour your fingers
or rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.
When you let dough ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ according to a
recipe, place it in a warm, draught-free area. If the
dough does not double in size, it may not produce
a tender product.
If the dough you are rolling shrinks back, let it rest
covered for a few minutes before rolling again.
Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a
freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room
temperature before using.
After 5 minutes of kneading, open the lid and
check the dough consistency. The dough should
form a soft, smooth ball. If too dry, add liquid. If
too wet, add flour (1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time).

Questions about general
performance and operation
Question 1
What should I do if the kneading blade comes
out with the bread?
Remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing
the bread. Since the blade can be disconnected from
the pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out in your
bread.
Question 2
Why does my bread sometimes have some
flour on the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the
corners of the baking pan. When this happens, it
usually can be eaten or simply trim off that portion of
the outer crust with a sharp knife.
Question 3
Why isn't the dough mixing? I can hear the
motor running.
The Kneading Blade or baking pan may not be
inserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the
right way and that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into the
bottom of the breadmaker.
Question 4
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined earlier.
Question 5
Why can't I use the timer when baking with
fresh milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too
long. Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should
never be used with the delayed timer feature.
Question 6
Why do I have to add the ingredients in a
certain order?
This allows the breadmaker to mix the ingredients
in the most efficient manner possible. It also serves to
keep the yeast from combining with the liquid before
the dough is started to mix, which is essential on the
time delay.
Question 7
When setting the timer for morning, why does
the machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation when the time
delay reaches the start time of the program so that
the bread will be ready. These sounds are made by
the motor when kneading the dough. It is a normal
operation, not a malfunction.
Question 8
The kneading blade is stuck in the bread pan.
After baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after
baking. Running warm or hot water over the blade
should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck,
soak in hot water for about 30 minutes.
Question 9
Can I wash the baking pan in the dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be
washed by hand.
Question 10
What will happen if I leave the finished bread in
the baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour after
baking is complete the bread ’keeps warm’ to
prevent it becoming ‘soggy’.
Leaving the bread in the breadmaker after the
keep warm period may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of
bread as excess steam (moisture) would not be able
to escape. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack
after baking to prevent this.
Question 11
Why did the dough only partially mix? Why
didn't it mix completely?
The dough may be too heavy or dry. Also, the
kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted
properly. Ingredients may have been added in the
wrong order.
Question 12
Why didn't the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past it’s sell by date or
possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing
was not complete, rising problems could develop.
Question 13
Why can't the delayed finish be set for more
than 13 hours? What is the minimum time a cycle
may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 13 hours
including the total cycle time. For example, Setting 1
(basic small) has a cycle time of 3:20. This start is
delayed by a maximum of 9:40. The minimum length
of delay for each setting is 10 minutes. The delay
clock increases and decreases in increments of 10
minutes.

Questions about ingredients and
recipes
Question 14
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts, etc.
to the bread?
There is a beeper tone to signal that you may add
raisins, nuts, etc. during the second kneading cycle.
Note: See ‘Baking cycle times’ chart for ‘Add nuts &
raisins’ time.
In some cases, ingredients can be broken up
during the initial kneading cycle. Each recipe
indicates the best time to add fruit and nuts to the
dough.
Question 15
How come my bread comes out too moist?
What can I do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra
tablespoon of flour. Also, high altitude may have the
same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by
1
/
4
teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk
slightly.
Question 16
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the
bread?
This can be caused by using too much yeast.
Decrease the yeast by
1
/
4
tsp.
Question 17
Why does my bread rise and then collapse or
crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the
rate of rising, reduce the amount of yeast and/or
increase the amount of salt.
Question 18
Can I use my favourite bread recipes
(traditional yeast bread) in my bread machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the
right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with
the unit and make several loaves of bread before you
begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of
5 cups dry ingredients (that includes the total amount
of flour, oats, oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this
book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to
liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and
oil/butter/margarine to use. We advise creating your
own bread recipes using the basic mode, then
progress to the others, using the Baking cycle times
chart as a guide.
Question 19
Is it important for ingredients to be at room
temperature before adding them to the baking
pan?
Yes, even when the delay timer is being used.
(Water must be between 21°C and 28°C).
Question 20
Why do the loaves vary in height and weight?
The whole wheat/wholewheat breads are always
shorter. Am I doing something wrong?
No, it is normal for Whole Wheat and Wholemeal
breads to be shorter and denser than Basic or French
breads. Whole Wheat and Wholemeal flour are
heavier than white bread flour, therefore they don’t
rise as much during the bread making process. This
is also true for bread containing fruit, nuts, oats and
bran.
Question 21
Can I premix the yeast with water?
No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the
baking pan last, above the flour. this is especially
important when the delay timer is being used.
Question 22
Why is there a large hole in the base of the
bread?
This hole has been created by the kneading
blade. Sometimes this hole is larger than normal.
This is because the dough has rested to the side of
the blade after the second kneading cycle - normal
with bread makers. You could position the dough
evenly in the base of the pan.
