Precautions on Bread Recipe
Yeast Powder ：
Please don’t replace Yeast Powder with Soda Powder. The yeast powder expired or lacking activation will apparently affect the soft texture and look of bread.
Advise to test the activation of yeast powder before making bread: take a half-cup of warm water (about 40-50℃), adding a tea spoon of sugar and stirring, and continue to add two tea spoons of yeast powder above the surface of water and store it in a warm place. After 10 minutes the mixing in this cup should be raised to the level of a full cup, otherwise please purchase new yeast powder in case of making bad bread.

Mixture Ratio of Water and Flour
Different flours have different water absorption. Please adjust water amount according to used flour type.

1. When too much water is added, the dough will become so soft that can’t be rounded and even become sticky. If so, the bread made out would be very hard and with a flat or rough surface and a texture with bigger pore, no elasticity. The good bread should be half-rounded.
   5minutes after adding water the dough still is damp and sticky, please continue to add one or two Table spoons of flour and knead the dough until you think the water content of dough is appropriate.

2. If the water added is lacking, after 5minutes mixing you would find the dry flour was left on the bottom of barrel and the dough would not be fixed to a round shape. The dough would be with a flat or rough surface, no elasticity. If so, the bread made out would be also very hard and hold a texture with dense pores.
   5minutes after adding water the dough still is dry too much, continue to add a Table spoon of water and knead the dough until you think the water content of dough is appropriate.

Other Recipes
Sugar and eggs will make bread more colorful. Please add them as the amount recommended by Recipe Book. Adding them freely will bring a heavy color and even burn bread, and even finally result in stopping working in advance for avoiding burning bread. In addition, if you want to add egg, for egg will thin the mixture, please be sure to put just one egg beaten into measuring cup and add water to the specified level.
