Delayed start (or preheating) is often used within baking breads with quick leaving agents. We do not use
this function within "healthy" baking because long term natural fermentation is better than the delayed
start. In addition, pouring flour into the water without prompt mixing makes the mixture inhomogeneous.
Another problem with the delayed start is also a loss of control over kneading and dough consistency.
Knead 1. We prefer to start the program in the second step – fast kneading. Fast kneading is the highest
motor speed (marked as motor power "P = 3"). With this setting, the bread maker can knead even the
largest amount of dough in just two minutes! We add one minute as a reserve and we have three minutes
in total. If you need to prolong the kneading time (e.g. because of the inappropriate consistency or
adding a larger amount of seeds or boiled corn), just switch the program off and then on again to run
from the beginning. As you can see, you do not need any special hoper within this procedure! Another
risk of automatic hoper failures is thus avoided.
Because there is no problem to wait a few minutes to finish kneading, you can still remove the kneaders.
Actually, it is a "perfect" system of folding kneaders, because they do not remain in the bread at all!
Additionally, you do not have to worry about failures of the folding mechanism.
Another advantage of this procedure is the possibility to smooth the dough surface with watered fingers.
And if you like working with rye, you can knead 100% rye dough, though rye does not have the proper
gluten for reverse drawing of the dough to kneaders. There is nothing easier than putting dough from the
walls to the kneaders with a wooden spatula. With the fast kneading function (P = 3), even rye dough is
finished in 3 minutes!
And one more advantage of fast kneading: controlled about-two-minute-long kneading has much less
gear and bearing wear compared to 20 minutes of kneading in conventional bread makers.
- For fast kneading (i.e. the highest motor performance „P=3"), do not set up longer time than 3-5
minutes to prevent motor from overheating or damage! Fast but short kneading „P3" is
recommended because of less wear and tear of the parts.
Rise 1. Rising is so variable that it is possible to set a quick process with industrial leaven as well as slow
rising with natural leaven and special two-phase rising as well.
Knead 2. Short kneading between "Rise 1" and "Rise 2" is rarely used with healthy bread. Although, the
dough becomes more vivid, fluffy and nicer, this does not mean it will be of a higher quality, because of
more oxygenation causing oxidation and degradation of important nutrients. However for occasional
cakes with large pores, this method is really attractive.
Rise 2 is usually omitted. When baking from home-made leaven, it is really reasonable because rising
needs a specific range of temperature which allows the propagation of live cultures. Home-made leaven
contains several healthy cultures and each of them propagates at a different temperature.
Bake 1, 2, 3. 3-phase baking is a novelty in this field. For the first time, you are able to adjust the
temperature distribution during baking.
