MEASURE INGREDIENTS PRECISELY AND ACCURATELY.
THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN USING YOUR BREAD MAKER IS TO
MEASURE THE INGREDIENTS PRECISELY AND ACCURATELY. A mis-measured
tablespoon of water or teaspoon of salt can make a BIG difference in the bread maker.
Remember, the bread maker is not human and cannot adjust for mis-measured
ingredients, ONLY YOU CAN MAKE SURE THE INGREDIENTS ARE MEASURED
ACCURATELY. Follow these VERY IMPORTANT tips when measuring ingredients:
Read through the recipe and organize the ingredients you will need in the order they are
added to the bread pan. Many bread disasters occur because an ingredient was left out or
added twice. Use standard kitchen measuring cups and spoons and follow the steps
below.
1.ALWAYS use glass or plastic “see thru” liquid
measuring cups to measure liquids. Place cup on
flat surface and measure at “EYE LEVEL,” not at
an angle. The liquid level line MUST be right to
the measurement marking, not above or below. A
“looks close enough” measurement can spell
disaster in bread making. SPECIAL TIP: Place
liquid measuring cup on inside of kitchen cabinet for easier measuring at eye level
2.ALWAYS use standard dry measuring cups for measuring
all dry ingredients, especially flour. Dry measuring cups
are those that nest together. ALWAYS SPOON DRY
INGREDIENTS INTO THE SPECIFIED MEASURING
CUP, THEN LEVEL OFF TOP WITH A KNIFE. All
measurements must be level. DO NOT SCOOP measuring
cups into the dry ingredients for measuring as you will
compress the ingredients into the cup and end up with more
than intended which will result in a short loaf of bread.
3.ALWAYS use standard measuring spoons for measuring
ingredients such as yeast, salt, sugar, dry milk, etc. as well
as small amounts of honey, molasses, or water. Again, the
measurements MUST BE LEVEL, not rounded or heaping
as this little bit of difference can affect the bread. DO NOT
USE TABLEWARE AS MEASURING SPOONS AS THESE VARY
IN SIZE AND WILL NOT BE ACCURATE.
USING BREAD MIXES IN YOUR BREAD MAKER: Pre-
packaged bread mixes can be prepared in your bread maker. Follow
the directions for making up to a 1½ pound (3cup) loaf. Use the
BASIC/SPECIALTY Bread Setting for bread mixes unless preparing a 100% whole
