Recommendations for choosing products
1. Wheat baking flour
It has a high gluten content (it contains a lot of protein, which is necessary for the formation of gluten, which determines the structure and elasticity of the bread), and therefore the bread turns out to be high and elastic, and does not settle after baking. Well, since there is more gluten in this flour than usual, you can use it for baking large breads and better internal structure.Wheat bread flour is the most important ingredient in the bread baking process.
2. Fine flour
The flour made by mixing carefully selected soft and durum wheat varieties is suitable for making quick bread or muffins.
3. Whole wheat flour
It is made from crushed wheat grains, including bran and gluten. Whole wheat flour is heavier and more nutritious than regular flour. Breads made with whole wheat flour are usually smaller. Many recipes recommend mixing bakery flour and whole wheat flour for best results.
4. Coarse flour
A high-fiber flour variety, very similar to whole grain flour. It allows the bread to rise a lot, therefore it is recommended to use it in combination with a lot of bread flour.
5. Flour for baking muffins
It is made by grinding a variety of soft wheat, which contains few proteins. Used for baking muffins. Different flours differ from each other. The absorption capacity of flour, or in other words, how well the bread made from it will rise depends very much on where the wheat was grown, in what conditions, how it was ground, how it was stored. You can buy and compare flavors from different manufacturers and choose the one that gives you the best taste and result.
6. Corn and oat flour
Corn and oatmeal are made by grinding corn and oats, respectively. This flour is usually used as an additive to regular flour to give the resulting bread a specific taste and texture.
7. Yeast
The yeast induces the fermentation process, producing carbon dioxide, giving the bread volume and structure. To provide nutrition for yeast, carbohydrates are needed from sugar.
• 1 tsp. dry yeast = 3/4 tsp fast acting yeast
• 1.5 tsp. dry yeast = 1 tsp fast acting yeast
• 2 tsp. dry yeast = 1.5 tsp fast acting yeast
Store yeast in the refrigerator as high temperatures are harmful to microorganisms. Check their expiration date before use. Put the leftover yeast in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Often, dead yeast is the reason why the bread does not rise. In the following way, you can check if your yeast is dead, fresh or not:
1) Pour half a cup of warm (45-50 ° C) water into a measuring cup
2) Put 1 teaspoon of white sugar in a measuring cup and stir, then add 2 teaspoons of yeast.
3) Place the measuring cup in a warm place for 10 minutes. Do not shake the water.
4) The foam should rise to the level of 1 cup. Otherwise, the yeast is either dead or unusable.
8. Sugar
A very important ingredient that gives sweet taste and color to bread. White sugar is used by yeast as a nutrient medium for fermenting dough. Dark sugar, powdered sugar or cane sugar can be referred to as special additives.
9. Salt
Salt is used to add flavor and color to the crust. But it can also suppress the action of yeast. Don't use too much salt in your recipe. You can not use salt, then the bread will turn out to be larger in volume.
10. Eggs
Eggs are added to increase bread's nutritional value, size, texture, and flavor. Beat them thoroughly before placing in the dough.
11 Fat, oil and vegetable oil
The fat makes the bread soft and lasts longer. The oil that you take out of the refrigerator must be kneaded or cut into thin pieces, so that it is evenly mixed.
12. Baking powder
Baking powder is most commonly used for Quick Bread Baking and Cupcake Baking.When using it, it does not take time for the dough to rise, and for the yeast to give the bread an airy or soft structure, in this case, a chemical principle is used for the same purposes.
13. Soda
Same as baking powder. Often used in conjunction with it.
14. Water and other liquids
Water is a wonderful ingredient for baking bread. It is worth mentioning that most often water is used with a temperature of 20-25 ° C. But the water can be hot. So, for example, to make bread according to the Fast baking program, you need to use water at a temperature of 45-50 ° C to raise the bread. Instead of water, you can use fresh milk or 2% milk powder diluted with water. Milk will improve the taste of the bread and the color of the crust. Some recipes use juices to add flavor: apple, orange, lemon, etc.
Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug the bread maker and let it cool completely before cleaning.
Use only liquid detergents for washing. It is not recommended to use aggressive detergents, gasoline, oven detergents and other agents that can scratch or damage the surface to be cleaned. Open the lid, and firmly holding the baking dish with your hands, turn it counterclockwise and pull it upwards to remove it from the bread maker.
To remove any remaining ingredients and crumbs from the lid, cabinet and cooking cabinet, wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
Do not immerse the bread maker in water or pour water into the cooking compartment!
Wipe the outside of the baking dish with a damp cloth. Rinse inside with water and dishwashing liquid. Do not immerse the baking dish in water.
The baking dish is covered with a non-stick coating. Do not use metal tools for cleaning that could damage the non-stick coating. Don't worry if the non-stick coating changes color over time. This can be caused by exposure to steam, moisture, food, acids and mixtures of ingredients, rather than wear or defects in the device. These changes are not dangerous and do not affect the operation of the device.
If the blade does not come off the shaft, pour warm water into the mold and let stand for about 30 minutes. Now you can easily remove the blade. Wipe it gently with a damp cotton cloth. WARNING: The baking dish and kneader paddle must not be washed in the dishwasher.
Wipe the inside and outside of the lid and sight glass with a slightly damp cloth.
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products to clean the surface of the case, as you can scratch its shiny surface.
The bread maker must be kept clean and dry.
