KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS AND MEASURE ACCURATELY
Although bread making seems very basic, it is a science and the proportions of
ingredients are critical. The most important step in using your bread maker is to
measure the ingredients precisely and accurately. Read the following information to
better understand the importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process.
Always make sure the ingredients are fresh.
Measure the liquid ingredients in see-through measuring cups with
accurate markings. Place the cup on a flat surface and measure at “Eye Level,” not
at an angle. All measurements must be accurate. Always use liquids between 80-
90°F (27-32°C) to assure optimal yeast activity.
Spoon the dry ingredients into the appropriate measuring cups or
spoons, and then level off with table knife. All ingredients measured in measuring
spoons and cups must be level, not rounded or heaping.
Never scoop measuring cups into dry ingredients. This will compress the
ingredients into the cup and cause the dough to be dry which will result in a short
loaf of bread.
