Tips for Baking Whole wheat & Multigrain Breads
The result of breads, such as whole wheat breads
and multigrain breads, are affected greatly by the
quality of ingredients, especially the flour. The flour
quality is affected by the keeping methods, the
temperature, humidity, etc. Another important factor
about the flour is that its quality also differs from year
to year, season to season. This is due to the quality
of the wheat crop being affected by the weather.
Sometimes due to bad weather conditions, the crop
may not grow with as much gluten forming properties
as it would require to produce flour for making
excellent breads.
When using ready prepared bread mixes where the yeast is already in the packet, use the basic bake rapid
option of 1 hour 55 minutes for all varieties of mix.
Select the correct size for the quantity of mix used.
XL (Extra Large) Ð 600
N
L (Large) Ð 500 packet
Put the packet mix in the bread pan, and add the recommended quantity of water from the recipe on the
packet.
Select basic bake rapid option of 1 hour 55 minutes and press Start.
We do not know how much yeast is in the packet, and therefore how high the bread will rise. We recommend
that you should add/lessen the mix you use according to the baking results.
For ready prepared mixes, where the yeast is supplied in a separate sachet, select the program according to
the type of flour in the mix.
For example white and brown mixes use the basic program (4 hours) and wholemeal the wholemeal
program (5 hours), and follow the recipe proportion in our book for yeast and water quantities to use.
Slicing the Bread
Cool the bread on a wire rack before slicing.
Cutting the bread fresh from the oven, especially gluten free,
may be difficult.
Storing the bread
1. Let the bread cool completely at room temperature.
2. Wrap it in a foil or a plastic bag to preserve freshness.
3. To enjoy the taste of freshly baked homemade bread,
try to consume your bread as soon as possible.
4. For longer storage, wrap well and store in the freezer.
It is better to slice the loaf before freezing.

Slicing and Storing the Bread
