ECG Bread Maker Recipes

Always read the safety&use instructions carefully before using your appliance for the first time. The user´s manual must be always included.

USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT INGREDIENTS

Flour
Most commercially available types of flour, such as wheat or rye flour, are suitable for baking. However, the designation of the type of flour may vary from one country to another. The „Gluten-Free Bread” baking program allows the use of gluten-free flour such as corn, buckwheat or potato flour. You can also use ready baking mixtures.

Programs 1 and 2 are ideal for adding small (10-20%) seeds or cream of wheat.
If you are using a larger proportion of whole grains (70-95%), use program 3.
The following types of flour appear in recipes:

FIG 1 Flour

Yeast
The yeast contained in the yeast breaks down the sugar and other carbohydrates contained in the body and
converts it into carbon dioxide, causing the dough to rise. Yeast is available in various forms – such as dried yeast, fresh yeast or leaven yeast.

We recommend using a dried yeast for best results.
If you use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast, follow the instructions on the package. Generally, 1 package of dry yeast contains about 21 g of fresh yeast and is suitable for about 500 g of flour. Always store the yeast in the refrigerator, since warmth spoils it. Check the expiration date before use. After opening the package, unused yeast should be carefully packed and stored in the refrigerator.

Note: We recommend using dry yeast for all the recipes in this book.

Sugar
Sugar has a decisive influence on the degree of bake and taste of bread. The fermentating process is initiated by sugar and the dough will gradually rise. The recipes in this book assume the use of crystal sugar. Do not use icing sugar unless specifically stated. Artificial sweeteners are not suitable for any of these recipes.

Salt
Salt is important for the taste and baking degree of the bread. Salt also helps to slow the rising of the dough. Therefore, do not exceed the amount of salt specified in the recipe. Salt may be omitted due to dietary restrictions. In this case, however, be aware that the dough may rise more quickly.

Liquids
Liquids such as water, milk or milk powder can be used to make bread. Milk enriches the taste of the bread and
softens its crust, while the use of clean water ensures a crisper crust. Some recipes include the use of fruit juice
or other juice instead of water to give the bread some flavor.

Eggs
Eggs enrich the dough and give the bread a softer texture. When baking bread according to the recipes in this book, use eggs as large as possible.

Baking fats, butter or oil
Baking fats, butter or oil give the yeast bread the necessary suppleness. The unique crust and texture of French breads is due to the fact that no oil is used for baking it. However, the fat-containing bread will remain fresh for longer. If you take out the butter directly from the refrigerator, cut it into smaller pieces to mix it better into the dough when kneading.

Gluten free bread
Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, is a chronic, autoimmune disease whose triggers include glutencontaining foods. Gluten is a protein contained in wheat, barley, rye and most other cereals. In celiac patients, this protein causes irritation of the mucosa of the small intestine. People suffering from this disease can only eat special bread prepared from gluten-free flour.

However, baking bread, pastries and desserts from gluten-free flour requires some training. Gluten-free flour rises longer, absorbs fluids less and sticks less. Gluten-free flour should also be thickened for baking using special, gluten-free thickening agents. These include cream of tartar, maize or rice flour, maize-based baking powders, guar flour, pectin, kudzu root and others. Unfortunately, the gluten-free bread does not allow for the typical taste of fresh bread. The consistency of gluten-free flour bread will also be different from that of traditional wheat flour bread.

Measuring ingredients
Included in the packaging of your new home bakery are the following measuring scoops, which make it much easier to measure and prepare the ingredients needed to make bread.

1 measuring cup with volume marking
1 scoop corresponding to a tablespoon
1 scoop corresponding to a teaspoon

Place the measuring scoop on an even surface. Make sure to align the ingredient with the line on the measuring cup. Make sure that the measuring scoop is dry before measuring the dry ingredients.

BAKING TIPS

Baking in different climatic conditions
If you are at higher altitudes, keep in mind that lower atmospheric pressure can result in faster fermentation of the yeast and thus faster rising of the dough. You can therefore use less yeast.
In drier areas, the dough will tend to dry more and will require more liquid. Conversely, in humid areas, the flour will be wetter and will therefore absorb less fluid. Use more flour in these areas.

Ready baking mixtures
In this bakery you can also bake bread from a ready baking mixture. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the package. The table below provides an overview for measurements of some baking mixtures.

FIG 2 Ready baking mixtures

Slicing and storing bread
For best results, allow freshly baked bread to cool on the rack in the oven for 15 to 30 minutes. Use a special bread slicer or serrated knife for slicing. The bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in a suitable plastic bag or bread box. If you want to store the bread longer (up to 1 month), you must freeze it. Because home-made bread does not contain preservatives, it tends to spoil faster than bread purchased from a store.

Note: For use with this home bakery, we recommend especially ready-to-use baking mixtures that can be purchased at Lidl stores. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

For best results, use a blender to knead the dough. Then put the finished dough in the baking pan. Use the button BREAD WEIGHT to enter 1000 g weight. Set the desired baking degree for crust.

Program 10: Cake mix

This program is used to process cake mixes.
Follow the instructions on the package of the specific mixture.

Program 11: Marmalade

You can use your home bakery to make jams and marmalades. Even if you’ve never done this before, you should try it. You will get a particularly delicious, fresh fruit jam.

Proceed as follows:

Wash fresh ripe fruit. It’s better to peel fruit such as apples, peaches, pears, etc. That have a hard peel.
Always use the indicated amount as it is precisely fitted to the JAM program. Otherwise, the mixture will boil too soon and start spilling over.
Weigh the fruit, cut it into small pieces (max. 1 cm) or mash it and place in a container.
Add the gelling sugar in the required amount. Use only this type not the regular sugar.
Mix the fruit with the sugar and start the program. It will run automatically from that moment.
Rinse the prepared jam jars with hot water shortly before the program ends.
Then fill the jars with jam and seal them well.
Place closed jars upside down for about 5-10 minutes. This creates a vacuum in the jars and the jam stays fresh for longer.

Orange jam

350 g oranges
150 g lemons
500 gelling sugar

Strawberry jam

500 g of strawberries
500 gelling sugar
2–3 tablespoons lemon juice

Wild berries jam

500 g defrosted wild berries
500 gelling sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Always mix all ingredients at once into a baking pan.
