Slicing Bread
For best results, wait at least 10 minutes before slicing, as the bread needs time to cool. Place loaf
on its side and cut in a sawing motion with a serrated bread knife. For easy and even slicing we
recommend using a bread knife or electric knife.
Freezing Bread
Make sure the bread has completely cooled. Slice and wrap the bread in plastic, before freezing.
Toppings
Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and chopped bacon can be added to the top of the bread
during the baking stage. Open the lid of the Breadmaker, gently brush the top of the loaf with a
little milk or egg yolk and sprinkle with topping (do not allow ingredients to fall outside the pan).
Close the lid and allow baking to continue.
This step needs to be done quickly to prevent the bread from sinking. The Breadmaker
gets very hot during baking, always use caution to prevent injury.
Using Bread Improver
The use of Bread improver is recommended to achieve optimum results, but is not an essential
ingredient. Bread improver will increase the gluten content of the flour mix. It will also influence
the structure, size and texture of the bread, so that it does not collapse when baking.
