How to make bread

1.  Place the pan in position and turn it clockwise until it clicks in correct position. Insert the kneading blade onto the drive shaft. It is recommended to fill holes with heat-resisting margarine prior to placing the kneaders, this avoids the dough to stick below the kneaders and the kneaders could be removed from bread easily.
2.  Place ingredients into the bread pan. Please keep to the order mentioned in the recipe. Usually the water or liquid substance should be put firstly, then add sugar, salt and flour, always add yeast or baking powder as the last ingredient.

Note: the maximum quantities of the flour and yeast which may be used refer to the recipe.

1.  With finger make a small indentation on one side of the flour. Add yeast to indentation, Make sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients or salt.

2.  Close the lid gently and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

3.  Press the Menu button until your desired program is selected.

4.  Press the COLOR button to select the desired crust color.

5.  Press the LOAF button to select the desired size (650g or 800g ).

6.  Set the delay time by pressing + or – button. This step may be skipped if you want the bread maker to start working immediately.

7.  Press the START/STOP button to start working.

8.  For the program of Basic, French, Whole wheat, Quick, Sweet, Ultra fast, Cake and Sandwich, 10 beep sound will be heard during operation. This is to prompt you to add ingredients. Open the lid and put in some ingredients. It is possible that steam will escape through the vent slits in the lid during baking. This is normal.

9.  Once the process has been completed 10 beeps sound will be heard, and the working light will extinguish. You can press START/STOP button for approx. 2 seconds to stop the process and take out the bread. Open the Lid and while using oven mitts, firmly grasp the bread pan handle. Turn the pan anti-clockwise and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine.

10.  Use non-stick spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
    Caution : the Bread pan and bread may be very hot! Always handle with care and use oven mitts.

11.  Turn bread pan upside down onto a clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto rack.

12.  Remove the bread carefully from the pan and cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.

13.  If you are out of the room or have not pressed START/STOP button at the end of operation, the bread will be kept warm automatically for 1 hour, if you would like to take the bread out, switch the program off with the START/STOP button.

14.  When do not use or completely operation, unplug the power cord.
    Note : Before slicing the loaf, use the hook to remove out the kneading blade hidden on the bottom of loaf. The loaf is hot, never use hand to remove the kneading blade.

Special introduction

For Quick breads
Quick breads are made with baking powder and baking soda that activated by moisture and heat. For perfect quick breads, it is suggested that all liquids be placed in the bottom of the bread pan, dry ingredients on top. During the initial mixing of quick bread，batters and dry ingredients may collect in the corners of the pan, it may be necessary to help machine mix to avoid flour clumps. If so, use a rubber spatula.

About Ultra fast program
The bread maker can bake loaf within 1 hour with ultra fast program. This setting can bake bread in 58 minutes，the bread is a little more dense in texture. Please noted ingredient of water should be hot water in the range of 48—50℃, you must use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature. The water temperature is very critical to the performance of baking. If the water temperature is too low the bread will not be rise to expected size; if the water temperature is too high it will kill the yeast prior to rising, which also will largely affect the baking performance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the machine from the power and let it cool down prior to cleaning.

1.  Bread pan: Rub inside and outside with a damp cloth. Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents for the consideration of protecting the non-stick coating. The pan must be dried completely prior to installing.
2.  Kneading blade: If the kneading bar is difficult to remove from the axle, in such an event fill the Container with warm water and allow it to soak for approx.30minutes.The kneader can then be easily removed for cleaning. Also wipe the blade carefully with a cotton damp cloth, Please note both the bread pan and kneading blade are dishwashing safe components.
3.  Lid and window: clean the lid inside and outside with a slightly damp cloth.
4.  Housing: gently wipe the outer surface of housing with a wet cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaner to clean as this would degrade the high polish of the surface. Never immerse the housing into water for cleaning.
5.  Before the bread maker is packed away for storage, ensure that it has completely cooled down, is clean and dry, and put the spoon and the kneading blade in the drawer, and the lid is closed.

Introduction of bread ingredients

Bread flour
Bread flour has high content of high gluten (so it can be also called high- gluten flour which contains high protein), it has good elastic and can keep the size of the bread from collapsing after rise. As the gluten content is higher than the common flour, so it can be used for making bread with large size and better inner fiber. Bread flour is the most important ingredient of making bread.

Plain flour
Flour that contains no baking powder, it is applicable for making extouch bread.

Whole-wheat flour
Whole-wheat flour is ground from grain. It contains wheat skin and gluten. Whole-wheat flour is heavier and more nutrient than common flour. The bread made by whole-wheat flour is usually small in size. So many recipes usually combine the whole -wheat flour or bread flour to achieve the best result.

Black wheat flour
Black wheat flour, also named as“rough flour”, it is a kind of high fiber flour, and it is similar with whole-wheat flour. To obtain the large size after rising, it must be used in combination with high proportion of bread flour.

Self-rising flour
A type of flour that contains baking powder, it is used for making cakes specially.

Corn flour and oatmeal flour
Corn flour and oatmeal flour are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are the additive ingredients of making rough bread, which are used for enhancing the flavor and texture.

Sugar
Sugar is very important ingredient to increase sweet taste and color of bread. And it is also considered as nourishment in the yeast bread. White sugar is largely used. Brown sugar, powder sugar or cotton sugar may be called by special requirement.

Yeast
After yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand bread and make the inner fiber soften. However, yeast fast breeding needs carbohydrate in sugar and flour as nourishment. 1 tsp. active dry yeast =3/4 tsp. instant yeast 1.5 tsp. active dry yeast =1 tsp. instant yeast 2 tsp. active dry yeast =1.5 tsp. instant yeast Yeast must be stored in the refrigerator, as the fungus in it will be killed at high temperature, before using, check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Store it back to the refrigerator as soon as possible after each use. Usually the failure of bread rising is caused by the bad yeast. The ways described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and active.

1.  Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-500C) into a measuring cup.
2.  Put 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2 tsp. yeast over the water.
3.  Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
4.  The froth should be up to 1 cup. Otherwise the yeast is dead or inactive.

Salt
Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. But salt can also restrain yeast from rising. Never use too much salt in a recipe. But bread would be larger if without salt.

Egg
Eggs can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourish and large in size, the egg must be peeled and stirred evenly.

Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease can make bread soften and delay storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped to small particles before using.

Baking powder
Baking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cake. As it does not need rise time, and it can produce the air, the air will form bubble to soften the texture of bread utilizing chemical principle.

Soda
It is similar with baking powder. It can also used in combination with baking powder.

Water and other liquid
Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water temperature between 200C and 250C is the best. The water may be replaced with fresh milk or water mixed with 2% milk powder, which may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color. Some recipes may call for juice for the purpose of enhancing bread flavor, e.g. apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and so on.

INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENT
One of important step for making good bread is proper amount of ingredients. It is strongly suggested that use measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate amount, otherwise the bread will be largely influenced.

Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with measuring cups. Observe the level of the measuring cup with your eyes horizontally. When you measure cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly without any other ingredients.

Dry measurements
Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then once filled, leveling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, the measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe.

Adding sequence
The sequence of adding ingredients should be abided, generally speaking, the sequence is: liquid ingredient, eggs, salt and milk powder etc. When adding the ingredient, the flour can’t be wetted by liquid completely. The yeast can only be placed on the dry flour. And yeast can’t touch with salt. When you use the delay function for a long time, never add the perishable ingredients such as eggs, fruit ingredient.
