Bread Making Ingredients

Flour

The type of the flour indicates the amount of mineral nutrients.

Type 405: Plain flour (All-purpose flour) for cake, bread etc.
Type 1050: Bread flour has a high content of gluten. As the gluten content is higher than normal flour, it can be used for making bread in large sizes.
Whole Wheat flour: Whole grain flour has no type number and is ground from whole grains. Whole wheat flour is heavier and contains more nutrients than common flour. The bread made by whole wheat flour is usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine the whole wheat flour and bread flour to achieve the best result.
Corn flour and oatmeal flour: Corn flour and oatmeal flours are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are the additive ingredients for making rough bread, which is used for enhancing the flavor and texture of the bread.

Sugar

Sugar is a very important ingredient, which increases the sweet taste and color of the bread. Sugar is also considered as nourishment for the yeast. White sugar is largely used but brown sugar, powdered sugar or cotton sugar may be used for special dietary requirements.

Yeast

Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high temperatures. Before using it check the production date and storage life of your yeast.
Refrigerate it as soon as possible after each use. Usually the main cause of bread failing to rise is bad yeast. The method described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and active. ∙ Pour ½ cup warm water (45-50˚C) into a measuring cup.

Pour ½ cup warm water (45-50˚C) into a measuring cup.
Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. of yeast over the water.
Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10 minutes. Do not stir the water.
The froth that appears should come up to 1 cup worth. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.

Salt

Salt is necessary to improve the flavor and crust color of the bread. Salt can also stop the yeast from working. Never use too much salt in a recipe.

Eggs

Eggs can improve bread texture and make the bread more nourishing and larger in size. The egg must be added and mixed in evenly.

Grease, butter and vegetable oil

Grease can make bread soft but can reduce storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped into small pieces before using.

Baking powder

Baking powder is used for rising the ultra-fast bread and cakes, as it does not need time to rise and instead produces air. The air will form to soften the texture of the bread or cakes.

Water and other liquids

Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, the water temperature should be between 20°C and 25°C for the best results. The water may be replaced with fresh milk which will enhance the breads` flavor and improve crust color.

Making Bread

Open the lid and remove the bread pan with a rotary move to the left.
Always remove the bread pan from the bread maker before adding ingredients to ensure they are not spilt into the baking chamber and the heating element.
Insert the kneading paddle. It is important that the kneading paddle is properly inserted on the shaft in the base of the bread pan. If the paddle is not inserted correctly the ingredients may not be mixed and kneaded properly.
Add ingredients to the bread pan. It is IMPORTANT that the ingredients are added in the correct order and that the ingredients are measured and weighed accurately or the dough may not mix correctly or rise sufficiently. All ingredients should be at room temperature 20-25°C.

Ingredients should be added in the following order:

Liquid ingredients
Dry ingredients
Yeast

NOTE! Mound the flour into the pan, make a small hollow in the center and place the yeast there. If the yeast contacts the water before the kneading, the bread may not rise well. Therefore, always add yeast last!

Power failure backup system

The bread maker is equipped with a power failure backup system or memory. If the power system is interrupted during the course of bread making, the process of making bread will be continued automatically within 10 minutes, even without pressing the “Start/Stop” button. If the interruption time exceeds 10 minutes, the memory cannot be kept and you have to restart the program. If the dough has not entered the rising phase when the power supply breaks off, you can press the “Start/Stop” button directly to continue the program from the beginning.

After the bread is baked

When the baking is complete, 10 beeps will sound to alert you that the bread is ready, the unit will automatically switch to keeping warm mode. Important: The bread maker has an automatic “Keep warm” setting that will keep your bread warm for up to 1 hour. Press the “Start/Stop” button for 3 seconds to cancel the “Keep warm” setting.
Use oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle out of the bread maker! Turn the pan upside down and gently shake it until the bread comes out. The bread pan has a non-stick coated finish so that the bread should come out easily.
Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the non-stick coating. If the kneading paddle is stuck in the bread, pull it out with the hook.
