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.
Volume and Weight measurements are given
for each recipe. We recommend using
measuring jugs, cups and spoons. Weight
measurements are provided if you wish to use
a kitchen scale.
Dry ingredients
Use a metric measuring spoon or cup. Do not
use tableware spoons or cups. Spoon the dry
ingredients loosely into the spoon or cup and
level off with a flat knife. This is particularly
important with flour. Do not pack dry
ingredients down into the cup or tap the cup
unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Liquids
Fill a metric measuring spoon or 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 metric measuring spoon or cups to the
level indicated and level off with a flat knife.
Last Things Last
Always place the liquid in the bread pan first,
the dry mix ingredients in next. Then, make a
small pocket in the top of the dry ingredients
and place the yeast in the pocket. Wipe away
any spills from around the outside of the pan.
This will ensure a well risen and evenly baked
loaf. However for Gluten Free recipes place
the dry ingredients in first, then the liquid.
Adding Fruits and Nuts
Fruits and nuts are added towards the end of
the kneading cycle. The machine will beep to
let you know it is time to add fruit or nuts. If
they are added before the Fruit and Nut
beep, the fruit will be pureed due to
excessive kneading.
