BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Bread dough
Insert the dough blade into the bowl. Use
instant active dry yeast and include with
the dry ingredients in the processing bowl.
Add 3 cups / 450g, add softened, cubed
butter and process using the START/PAUSE
button until the butter is absorbed into the
flour. If using oil, with the motor running,
add the oil through the small feed chute
and process until the mixture forms a soft,
elastic ball of dough. Do not over process.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured
surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if
necessary until soft and pliable. Place dough
into large, greased mixing bowl and stand
covered in a warm place until doubled in
size. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured
surface and knead again until smooth and
elastic. Shape the dough, allow to rise in a
warm area then bake in a hot oven.
Biscuit dough
Insert the dough blade (or you can use the
quad blade) into the bowl. Place softened
butter and sugar into the processing bowl.
Process using the START/PAUSE button
until lightly creamed. With the motor
running, add eggs one at a time down the
small feed chute, mixing well after each
addition. Place dry ingredients into the
processing bowl and use the PULSE button
until ingredients are just combined. Add
dried fruit, nuts, etc. through the small feed
chute and use the PULSE button until the
additions are folded through evenly.
Melt ‘n’ mix biscuits
Insert the dough blade into the bowl. Place
melted ingredients, followed by liquid
ingredients then dry ingredients into the
processing bowl. Process ingredients using
the PULSE button until just combined. If
necessary, interrupt the processing, remove
the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides
of the bowl. Replace the lid and continue but
do not over-process the mixture. Add dried
fruit, nuts etc. after this step using PULSE
button until folded through evenly.
SHREDDING AND GRATING WITH
THE REVERSIBLE SHREDDER
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or
peeling first.
First cut the food to fit the length of the feed
chute (no more than 14cm). Food can be
shredded length ways to make a long shred.
If food fits without the need to cut, trim one
end so that it sits flat in feed chute.
Reversible Shredder
1. Place either the coarse or fine shredding
disc onto the disc spindle and then into
the processing bowl.
2. Prepare food as directed in the following
food categories or recipes.
Both thick and thin grating can be achieved
by using either the coarse or fine shredding
disc. Use one side of the disc for coarse
grating. Carefully turn over the disc so that
the process required is facing upwards.
