Measuring Your Ingredients; Measurement/Conversion Chart - Breadman TR875 Instruction Manual

MEASURING YOUR INGREDIENTS

The most important step when using your Breadman® Bread Maker for making bread is
measuring your ingredients. It is very important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient
accurately. For best results, add ingredients into the Bread Pan in the order given in each
recipe.
LIQUID MEASUREMENTS
Use transparent plastic or glass liquid measuring cups to measure all liquid ingredients.
Place the cup on a horizontal flat surface and view markings at eye level. The level of the
liquid must be aligned to the appropriate mark of measurement. A "guesstimate" is not
good enough, as it could throw off the critical balance of the recipe.
DRY MEASUREMENTS
Dry ingredients must be measured using standard size dry measuring cups. These cups
are available in various sizes. Gently spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cup and
level off with a knife. Do not scoop or tap measuring cup, as this will pack the ingredients.
This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift flour in bread making.
When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (i.e. yeast, sugar, salt, dry
milk, honey or molasses), a standard measuring spoon must be used. Measurements
must be level, not heaping.
The Breadman® Bread Maker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This marvelous
appliance asks only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In most cooking,
a pinch of this and a dash of that is fine, but this is not the case for automatic Bread
Makers. Using this Breadman® Bread Maker requires that you accurately measure each
ingredient.
