Baking cycle for whole wheat bread
As part of the baking cycle for the whole wheat bread.
There is a delay period of 30 minutes for programme
5 & 6, in which the flour or grains are allowed to soak in the
liquid and expand. During this delay period there is no
activity by the unit. However you will see the timer counting
down.
Soaking causes the flour/grains to soften and helps the
ingredients combine well.
