Ingredients Measurement - ZORA FBM-1480 Instruction Manual

14. Water and other liquid
Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water temperature
0 0
between 20 C and 25 C is the best. The water may be replaced with fresh milk or water
mixed with 2% milk powder, which may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color.
Some recipes may call for juice for the purpose of enhancing bread flavor, e.g. apple juice,
orange juice, lemon juice and so on.

INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENT

One of important step for making good bread is proper amount of ingredients. It is strongly
suggested that use measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate amount,
otherwise the bread will be largely influenced.
1. Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with measuring cups.
Observe the level of the measuring cup with your eyes horizontally. When you measure
cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly without any other
ingredients.
2. Dry measurements
Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup and
then once filled, leveling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup with more
than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. When measuring
small amounts of dry ingredients, the measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must
be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the
recipe.
3. Adding sequence
The sequence of adding ingredients should be abided, generally speaking, the sequence is:
liquid ingredient, eggs, salt and milk powder etc. When adding the ingredient, the flour
can't be wetted by liquid completely. The yeast can only be placed on the dry flour. And
yeast can't touch with salt. After the flour has been kneaded for some time and a beep will
prompt you to put fruit ingredients into the mixture. If the fruit ingredients are added too
early, the flavor will be diminished after long time mixing. When you use the delay
function for a long time, never add the perishable ingredients such as eggs, fruit
ingredient.
