Important measuring tips

Each ingredient in a loaf of bread plays a
specific role, so it is extremely important to
measure the ingredients correctly to get the
best results.
Note: For optimum results, we recommend
weighing ingredients on a kitchen scale.
This is especially important with flour.
Because flour aerates, an accurate amount is
needed to achieve an optimum loaf of bread.
Weight measurements are given for each
recipe.
If kitchen scales are not available, use
the measuring cup and measuring spoon
provided and ensure these instructions are
followed:
Dry ingredients
Use a standard metric measuring spoon or
measuring cup. Do not use tableware spoons
or coffee cups and level off. For flour simply
spoon the flour loosely into the measuring
cup and level off with a flat knife. Do not
pack dry ingredients down into the cup or tap
the cup unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Liquids
Fill a standard metric measuring spoon or
measuring cup to the level indicated. Check
your cup measurement by placing the
measuring cup on a flat surface and reading
the measurement at eye level.
Solid fats
Fill a standard metric measuring spoon or
measuring cup to the level indicated and
level off with a flat knife.
Last Things Last!
Always place the liquids in the bread pan
first, the dry ingredients in next, and the
yeast in last. This will ensure a well risen
and evenly baked loaf.
