  • Page 2 START HERE INTRODUCTION Your Prima Home Bakery is the result of Prima’s many years of experience with bread making machines. Whether you have never made bread before or if you have made your own bread for years, the information in this booklet is essential if you are to obtain the best from your machine.
  • Page 3 CLEAN the outside of the bread maker with a damp cloth only. The bread pan should be cleaned after each use with mild detergent solution, rinsed and dried thoroughly. IF the unit is dropped or becomes damaged in any way, do not use but call Prima Service first (number at back of book).

  • Page 4: About Bread

    No matter how varied the range of breads on offer in bakers shops or supermarkets, there is nothing quite like the warm fragrance and taste of fresh home-made bread. Just a few of the ingredients available from local shops & supermarkets 2001 ABM8 rev.0...

  • 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 It has probably been milled from hard wheat and is particularly suitable for bread making. In the UK the taste and gluten content of flour varies with each brand. At Prima we use Allinsons Strong White, Strong Brown or Wholemeal flour for product testing because it gives consistently good results.
  • Page 7 Note: Most sachet yeasts do not rely on sugar to become active. 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 8: Other Ingredients

    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. Do not site your bread maker in a draughty part of the house.

  • Page 20 Usually caused by too much yeast, too much water or flour, or forgetting to add the salt. Salt keeps the yeast in check – without it the yeast can cause the loaf to over- rise. Remember: Nothing the machine does will prevent good dough from rising properly 2001 ABM8 rev.0...
