Measuring ingredients
The most important step when using the Casa bread maker is to measure ingredients
accurately according to recipe instructions. All the ingredients must also be added to the
bread pan in the order shown in the recipes.
Liquid measurements
Use the cup provided to do all liquid measurements. The cup must be placed on a level
surface and viewed at eye level to ensure accuracy. Any inaccurate measurements could
throw out the critical balance of a recipe.

Dry measurements
Dry measurements (especially for flour) must be done using the measuring cup provided.
Dry measuring is done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and then
levelling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack ingredients resulting
in larger amounts than indicated.
Note: Do not sift flour unless stated.
When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients, use the measuring spoon
provided. Measurements must be level not heaped, as this small difference could throw out
the critical balance of the recipe.

Ingredient temperatures
All ingredients, especially liquids, as well as the unit and pan, should be warmed to room
temperature (approximately 21°C).
If ingredients are too cold (10°C), they will not activate the yeast.
Hot liquids (above 40°C) may kill the yeast.
