Adding the ingredients
1. It's important that you add the
ingredients in the right order. If
the yeast gets wet, it may activate
too early. If it comes in contact
with any salt in the recipe, it may
not work properly.
2. Keep any 'extras' – fruit, nuts,
raisins, etc. to one side, and add
them to the dispenser after you've
closed the lid. They'll be added
automatically during the program.
3. First, add the liquid. It's usually
water, but might include milk
and/or eggs. The water should be
warm, but only warm, not hot or
cold. Both hot and cold water will
inhibit the yeast.
4. Don't use milk with the timer; it
might curdle before the bread-
making process starts.
5. Add any sugar and salt required
by the recipe.
6. Add any "wet" ingredients- honey,
syrup, molasses...
7. Add the dry ingredients – flour,
dried milk, herbs, spices...
8. Add the dried yeast (or baking
powder/baking soda) last. Lay it
on top of the other ingredients,
don't get it wet, or it'll start
working too soon.
9. If you're using the timer, it's
essential to keep the yeast
(baking powder/baking soda) and
water/liquid apart. 10. If you don't,
the yeast will activate, grow, and
die before the bread-making
starts. The result will be hard,
dense, coarse, and about as
edible as a house brick.
