5. The yeast needs to be the last ingredient you put in the bread pan. Put the yeast
into a little hole in the flour, thus ensuring it does not come in contact with the
added salt, sugar, water or milk.
Tip: You can verify the freshness of your yeast by submitting it to the
following test: dissolve 1 teaspoonful of sugar in half a cup of lukewarm water and
subsequently add the yeast to this mixture. If the substance starts sparkling and boiling
after a few minutes, you can be sure that you are using fresh yeast.
Tip: Approximately 5 to 10 minutes after your bread maker has been activated, you
can equally test the quality of the dough. The dough should look like a smooth and
elastic round ball. Open the lid and gently touch the top of the dough with your
fingers.
Be careful and make sure the kneading paddle remains in action!
• If the dough somewhat sticks to your fingers, this implies the dough is going to be
fine.
• Should the dough however stick to the bread pan, then it is probably too moist.
If the dough does not stick to your fingers at all, the pastry you are making is too
dry.
Tip: Salt breaks the effect of the yeast and sugar exactly does the opposite. If you are
not allowed to use either sugar or salt for dietary reasons, you must not add the other
ingredient either. Your bread will not contain sugar or salt.
• If you want to start baking another bread straight away, you will first have to
allow the bread maker to cool down for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Different types of bread will have different structures and sizes, due to the
different nature of the ingredients used. These differences are normal and need not
worry you.
• For some recipes, you may need to adjust the quantities, i.e. the amount of yeast,
flour or water. Never adjust all these quantities at the same time, for it will not
have any effect. Adjusting a quantity may be necessary because of:
• the quality and specific gravity of the flour
• differences in ambient temperature
• freshness of the ingredients
• Remark: never use larger amounts than specified. The total weight of all the
ingredients cannot be higher than 1000 g. If too much dough is made, it may
rise out of the bread pan and fall on the warm heating element, which could
cause fire.
• Home-made bread, made with this bread maker, does not contain any
preservatives and is therefore perishable. If you wrap the bread in a vacuum
package after cooling down, you will be able to keep it for a few days. Of course
you can also freeze the bread.
