Questions And Answers - Breville BB420 Instruction And Recipe Book

Questions and
Answers
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 with 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. The
milk has to be scalded and cooled before adding
to the other dough ingredients. Substitute the
water with fresh milk and omit the milk powder.
Q: Can butter or margarine be used in place
of oil?
A: Yes, but the bread crumb may appear a more
creamy, 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 artificial sweeteners.
However, the brand 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 absorption
in the dough, as well as affect mixing, the
strength of 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 bread cycle has been accidentally
cancelled/reset during the bread-making
process. What can I do?
A: If the power is accidentally turned off for 60
minutes or less during the bread making cycle,
your Ultimate Baker's Oven has a Power Failure
Protection system. This will automatically resume
bread making when power is restored.
If the cycle can not be resumed or is cancelled:
During the Kneading cycles – 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 cycles – Turn the machine off.
Leave the dough in the pan and in the baking
chamber with the lid closed. Allow the dough to
rise up in size until almost near the top of the
pan. Turn the machine on. Select the Bake Only
setting. Set required baking time (between 0:00
to 2:00 hours). Press the Start/Pause button.
During the Baking cycle – Select the Bake Only
setting. Select required baking time (between
0:00 to 2:00 hours). Press the Start/Pause
button.
Q: What happens if the bread isn't removed
when the bake cycle is complete?
A: The bread machine will automatically go into a
keep warm cycle (in the Basic, Wholewheat,
French and Sweet settings), holding the
temperature of the bread for up to 60 minutes.
However, as the loaf cools, it gives off steam that
cannot escape from the bread pan. The bread
crust may then become soft and the loaf may
lose its shape.
Q: Why did the bread not rise?
A: There may be several reasons. Check the
protein level of the flour and the use by date of
the yeast. The yeast may have failed to activate,
the yeast measurements may be inaccurate or
sometimes people just forget to add the yeast.
