What do I do if:
The dough feels hard after processing?
The dough is runny at the bottom of the machine?
The motor slows down?
The motor stops?
The dough does not rise?
The bread is too heavy?
Answers:
• Separate the dough into two or three equal parts and distribute
them in the bowl. Process until they are soft and pliable. Add
water if necessary.
• Always start the motor before adding liquid ingredients. Dribble the
liquid slowly while it is being absorbed by the other ingredients.
• You have too much dough in the bowl. Remove some of the dough
and process in two batches.
• Do not process dough too long once all the ingredients have been
added. Thirty seconds should be enough for richer doughs.
• The cover has come loose.
• The machine has been unplugged.
• Excessive strain can cause the motor to overheat and stop. This
machine has a safety protector that stops the motor if it overheats.
If this happens, let the motor cool for 15 minutes, then separate
the dough into two equal parts and start processing again. Make
sure that the dough is not too hard. If it is, add a little water and
start processing again.
• Check the expiry date of the yeast.
• Do not use warm water to prepare the dough or overheat the dough
by overprocessing it. The ideal temperature for dough is 26°C.
• Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment.
• Dough made of whole-wheat flour takes more time to rise than
dough made of white flour. Allow the dough enough time to rise.
• Next time, make sure the dough is uniform, soft, pliable and
slightly sticky before setting it aside to rise. Let dough fully double in
bulk before punching it down and shaping it. Allow it to double
a second time after shaping it.
