  • Page 19: A Guide To Ingredients

    A guide to Ingredients The major ingredient in bread making is flour, so it is important to use the correct one for a good loaf. Bread flour Bread flour has a high gluten and protein content. As the gluten content is higher than most common flours, it is good for making larger loaves and has a better inner fibre.

Do not stir the water. n The froth should be up to 250 mls, otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.

  • Page 22 n The temperature of ingredients is important in bread machine baking. Ideal temperature is room temperature between 24ºC and 32ºC.
