Hints And Tips - Breville Antony Worrall Thompson VBM006 Manual

hints and tips

General
Always add the ingredeients in the order shown in the recipe. It's important to keep the yeast
away from the liquids. Use the ingredients at room temperature (0º to 5ºC). The temperature
can affect yeast activity and will affect the quality of the bread.
Important measuring tips
Each ingredient in the loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to measure
the ingredients correctly to get the best results.
Always use the measuring spoon supplied with your bread maker. Never use household cutlery
becasue they can vary greatly in size and will lead to the inaccurate measuring of ingredients.
Wherever possible we recommend weighing bulk ingredients such as flour on a kitchen scale.
However, for your convenience, if kitchen scales are not available, the recipes also include
volumes by cup. Other dry ingredients can be measured using the spoon and cup provided, and
some butter wrappers provide weight guidelines.
Liquids
Fill the spoon or cup provided to the level indicated. Check your cup measurements by placing the
measuring cup on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.
Solid Fats
When using butter and margarine it is important to chop the ingredients into cubes before adding
to the bread pan. Butter and margarine should be added at room temperature. Use unsalted
butter or margarine.
Adding Fruit and Nuts
Fruit and nuts are added towards the end of the kneading cycle. The machine will beep to let you
know it is time to add fruit or nuts. If they are added before the Fruit and Nut beep, the fruit will
be pureed due to excessive kneading.
Dry Ingredients
Use the spoon or cup provided (don't use tableware spoons or cups). Put the dry ingredients
loosely into the spoon or cup and level off with a flat knife. This is particularly important with flour.
Do not pack dry ingredients down into the cup, unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Freshness
Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used before the specified use-by-date. Avoid using perishable
ingredients such as milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese with the time delay function. Store dry
ingredients in airtight containers, to prevent drying out.
