hints and tips General Always add the ingredeients in the order shown in the recipe. It’s important to keep the yeast away from the liquids. Use the ingredients at room temperature (0º to 5ºC). The temperature can affect yeast activity and will affect the quality of the bread. Important measuring tips Each ingredient in the loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results.

Slicing Bread For best results, wait at least 10 minutes before slicing, as the bread needs time to cool. Place loaf on its side and cut in a sawing motion with a serrated bread knife. For easy and even slicing we recommend using a bread knife or electric knife.
ingredients used in bread making Yeast Yeast is a vital ingredient when bread making, without it the bread will not rise. Your bread maker maintains the optimum temperature for the yeast to take effect, during the bread making process. Only use instant or fast acting yeast - sometimes called easy bake. Some yeast may require the use of a bread improver.
recipes Important note If your bread isn’t coming out the way you like, try changing the recipe slightly. Don’t be afraid to experiment and before long you’ll be baking perfect loaves each and every time. Basic White Bread - Program 1 Ingredients 1.0lb (540g) 1.5lb (680g)
