page Home Bakery ABOUT BREAD Bread is one of the oldest foodstuffs we know. Soon after humans first learnt to plant seeds, bread became the staple food of many cultures world wide. Since then each culture has developed it’s own method of making bread using local ingredients and processes unique to them.
Home Bakery ABOUT BREAD MAKERS With the continued success of the Prima Home Bakery it is nice to know that technology is actually helping to preserve the art of home bread making for generations to come. Like most kitchen appliances, your bread maker is a labour- saving device.

INGREDIENTS The most important part of the bread making process is the wise selection of ingredients. You and your Prima Home Bakery will produce outstanding results with the right ingredients. Just apply this simple rule: Best ingredients - best results, poor ingredients - poor results.
Page 8
However, the flavour is superb (try the honey wholemeal recipe). Your Prima Home Bakery has a special process for wholemeal bread, which devotes more time to the kneading and rising processes.
WATER Use soft water if you can but your Prima Home Bakery will still make good bread with hard water. There is often much debate on what temperature the water should be. The answer is simple.
ENVIRONMENT Last but not least of the ingredients is the environment in which the bread is made. The Prima Home Bakery will work well in a wide range of temperatures but there could be a difference of 15% in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room.
CHECK THE ACCESSORIES At this point it might be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the bread maker and setting the controls. When you unpack your Home Bakery you should have the following items: 1 kneading blade 1 measuring cup. You can use this cup for measuring the liquid ingredients or you can use your own measuring jug as long as it’s graduated in ml.
THE CONTROLS START/STOP button. Starts the programme (of course). To stop the programme part way through you need to press and hold this button for 3 seconds. After which, the machine will reset to programme 1 (NORMAL). Time selector. For use when setting the delay timer (see section of timer operation) Crust control.

HOW TO USE THE TIMER The most common use for the timer is to make a loaf overnight so it will be ready in the morning. Many people also programme the timer so the loaf is ready when they get home from work.
YOUR FIRST LOAF Before we start, if you have skipped forward to this part of the book and not read the preceding pages like the rest of us then shame on you! You may be about to waste some flour! The following recipe is for a basic white loaf.
Page 17
YOUR FIRST LOAF Method 1. Remove the bread pan from the machine. 2. Put the ingredients into the pan in the order they are listed above 3. When it comes to adding the yeast, make a small well in the flour and pour the yeast granules into it.
Frequently asked questions PROBLEM The motor did not run when I pressed START The machine beeped part way through the process. I tried to make another loaf straight after the first but the process wouldn’t start. What does the ‘keep warm’ sign mean when the loaf is finished? What...

SUNKEN LOAVES cont. The gas bubbles produced by the yeast are escaping! Remember the protein called gluten? (sec. 4). Dough without gluten is like water without soap; you cannot make bubbles in it. All the recommended white flour brands have sufficient gluten to make good dough. Other brands may not.

Page Home Bakery CLEANING Bread Pan & Kneading Blade The most important thing when cleaning your Home Bakery is to keep the non-stick coating of the bread pan and kneading blade in good order. Never use metal utensils to remove loaves or cakes from the bread pan, as this will damage the non-stick coating. Avoid using strong detergents and don’t put the pan or kneading blades in the dishwasher.

When the process is complete proceed as follows: Cut the dough into 15-20 equal pieces and roll into balls. Make a 1” (2.5cm) hole in the middle to form a ring shape.
Page Home Bakery Next, cut the dough sheet into 8 triangular pieces (see drawing). Starting at the base of the triangle, roll each piece then turn each end in slightly to form the traditional croissant shape. Lay the 8 croissants on a baking tray giving each one as much room as possible.
