– Grease loaf tins before use.
– With Automatic programmes the
dough goes into the oven without
being proved first. The proving phase
and the duration are part of the
programme.
– You cannot use the normal skewer
test to find out whether bread is
completely cooked, as freshly baked
bread will continue to stick until it
has cooled right down. It is best to
tap the underside of the loaf. If it
sounds hollow the bread is cooked
and can be placed on a rack to cool
down.
– If you do not want to take bread out
of the oven after baking it, select a
lower setting to prevent it getting
over cooked and too dark on the
surface.
Bread mixes
– Make up the dough according to the
packet instructions. Use the amount
of liquid specified for oven baking.
– Bake all bread mixes in a greased
loaf tin (25 cm x 10 cm).
– Slash the top before placing the loaf
in the oven and brush it with a little
water.
– With Automatic programmes the
dough goes into the oven without

– If you do not want to take bread out
of the oven after baking it, select a

– There are numerous brands of bread
mixes. The programmes have not
been written for any particular one.
For this reason results may vary with
levels of browning, how well the
bread rises and its consistency once
baked. If necessary, bake for slightly
longer, or select a different level of
browning the next time if results are
not to your liking.
