Adapting Your Own Recipes - Kenwood BM200 series Instructions & Recipes

Adapting your own Recipes

After you have baked some of the recipes, which follow in this booklet, you may wish to
adapt a few of your own favourites, which previously have been mixed and kneaded by
hand. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your recipe,
and use it as a guide.
Read through the following guidelines to help you, and be prepared to make adjustments
as you go along.
G
Make sure you use the correct quantities for the bread maker. Do not exceed the
recommended maximum. If necessary, reduce the recipe to match the flour and liquid
quantities in the breadmaker recipes.
G
Always add the liquid to the bread pan first. Separate the yeast from the liquid by
adding after the flour.
G
Replace fresh yeast with easy blend dried yeast. Note: 6g fresh yeast = 1tsp (5mls)
dried yeast.
G
Use skimmed milk powder and water instead of fresh milk, if using the timer delay
setting.
G
If your conventional recipe uses egg, add the egg as part of the total liquid
measurement.
G
Keep the yeast separate from the other ingredients in the pan until mixing
commences.
G
Check the consistency of the dough during the first few minutes of mixing. Bread
machines require a slightly softer dough, so you may need to add extra liquid. The
dough should be wet enough to gradually relax back.
