Bread Recipes
Bread is very much personal taste so finding the right recipe to match your idea of the ‘perfect’ loaf may
require trying different recipes and settings. For white bread use Program 3 if you like a crisp crust or
Program 4 if you prefer a softer crust. Loaves cooked on the Super Rapid program 5 or using delayed start
may have slightly less rise and volume. Measure the ingredients using the cup and spoon supplied with
your appliance and add in the exact order stated in the recipe.
All Moulinex recipes use the minimum of yeast, to avoid unpleasant yeast flavours in the bread, and give a
good rise with freshly opened dried Easybake or Active yeast. Reseal yeast immediately after opening and
discard within 48 hours. Recipes with other bread machines may use different proportions of ingredients
tailored to suit their program cycles.

As this loaf does not contain any fat or milk powder it stales quickly and is best eaten on the day it is made.
This delicious loaf has a smaller rise and closer texture since milk is added.
