Basic Ingredients for bread making
Yeast
Yeast is a vital ingredient when bread making, without it the bread will not
rise. Your Breadmaker maintains the optimum temperature for the yeast to
take effect, during the breadmaking process.
Important: only use dried yeast with this Breadmaker. Using fresh or tinned
yeast will produce poor results.
Note: Some yeast may require the use of a bread improver. A bread
improver will provide additional gluten to the flour to produce a better loaf.
Flour
In order for the bread to rise, the flour used has to have a sufficiently high
protein content. Breville recommend the use of a good quality strong plain or
bread flour.
Liquids
When liquids are mixed with flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for
the bread to rise. Most recipes use dry milk and water, but other liquids
such as fresh milk and fruit juice can be used.
Salt
In small amounts salt adds flavour and controls yeast action. Too much salt
will inhibit the yeast and the bread will not rise properly.
Important: when adding ingredients to the bread pan, yeast and salt should
be kept separate.
