Cleaning And Maintenance - Philips HD9020 Manual De Instrucciones

testing yeast activity
Dissolve 1 tsp sugar into ½ cup lukewarm water in a measuring cup. Sprinkle 2 tsp yeast over the surface. Stir gently. Let the mixture sit
undisturbed for 10 minutes. The mixture should be foamy with a strong smell of yeast. If not, purchase new yeast.
Bread mix
Bread mixes are available in many stores. Bread mix already includes flour, salt, sugar and yeast in the right measurements, so it is convenient to
use. It also comes in many different flavours and varieties. In most cases you just have to put water or milk and butter or oil in the bread pan as
indicated in the instructions on the bread mix package, and then add the bread mix.
measuring ingredients
Perfect loaves depend on the correct amount of each ingredient. Therefore it is important that you measure ingredients correctly. Even 1 or 2
incorrectly measured tablespoons (either to much or too little) make a big difference for the end result. Never measure ingredients over the
bread pan, as you may spill excess ingredients into the bread pan.
Tip: When you have to add e.g. 280ml water, add 1 cup (250ml)of water using the measuring cup and then add 2tbsp (30ml) of water using the
measuring spoon.
storage
Store flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposed to heat or moisture, flour loses its strength and ability to rise. Flour absorbs
flavours quickly, so store it away from onions or garlic. Store bread, sealed tightly in a plastic bag or other airtight container, at room temperature
for 1 to 2 days. French-style breads should be stored in a paper bag or exposed to the air to retain their crisp crust. They are best eaten the
same day as baked
tools
measuring spoon
- You can use the measuring spoon supplied to measure yeast, sugar, salt, milk powder and spices.
- Do not use measuring spoons to scoop up dry ingredients. Spoon dry ingredients lightly into the measuring spoon (Fig. 14).
- Heap the spoon, and then level it with the edge of a metal spatula or the straight edge of a knife. Do not press the ingredients into the
spoon, nor shake the spoon to level it (Fig. 15).
- The only ingredient that should be pressed into the measuring spoon is brown sugar. Press onto the sugar until it has the shape of the
measuring cup.
measuring cup
- Use a graduated transparent measuring cup for all liquids. Place the measuring cup on a flat surface and read the graduation at eye level. If
necessary, add or remove some liquid (Fig. 16).
