  • Page 4: About Bread

    page Home Bakery ABOUT BREAD Bread is one of the oldest foodstuffs we know. Soon after humans first learnt to plant seeds, bread became the staple food of many cultures world wide. Since then each culture has developed it’s own method of making bread using local ingredients and processes unique to them.

  • Page 5: About Bread Makers

    Home Bakery ABOUT BREAD MAKERS With the continued success of the Prima Home Bakery it is nice to know that technology is actually helping to preserve the art of home bread making for generations to come. Like most kitchen appliances, your bread maker is a labour- saving device.
  • Page 6 INGREDIENTS The most important part of the bread making process is the wise selection of ingredients. You and your Prima Home Bakery will produce outstanding results with the right ingredients. Just apply this simple rule: Best ingredients - best results, poor ingredients - poor results.
  • Page 7 However, the flavour is superb (try the honey wholemeal recipe). Your Prima Home Bakery has a special process for wholemeal bread, which devotes more time to the kneading and rising processes.

    WATER Use soft water if you can but your Prima Home Bakery will still make good bread with hard water. There is often much debate on what temperature the water should be. The answer is simple.

  • Page 9: Storing Your Bread

    ENVIRONMENT Last but not least of the ingredients is the environment in which the bread is made. The Prima Home Bakery will work well in a wide range of temperatures but there could be a difference of 15% in loaf size between a very warm room and a very cold room.

Once you have selected your desired programme, simply press the TIMER (not TIME) button on the control panel and the figure on the display will...
