[. . . ] However be aware that to make the most of your breadmaker a certain learning curve is necessary. Take the time to get to know it and don't be disappointed if your first attempts aren't quite perfect. But if you're impatient to make your first loaf, one of the recipes in the quick-start paragraph will help you take your first steps. Note that the texture of the bread you'll get is more compact than bread from a bakery. [. . . ] It is a kneading and rising programme for all leavened doughs such as pizza dough, rolls, sweet buns. 16 14. only, adjustable in steps of 10 min, with light medium or dark browning. It can be selected alone and used: a) with the Leavened Dough programme, b) to reheat cooked and cooled breads or to make them crusty, c) to finish cooking in case of a prolonged electricity cut during a bread baking cycle. To interrupt the cycle before it is finished, the programme can be stopped manually by holding down the button . SELECTING THE WEIGHT OF THE BREAD The bread weight is set by default at 1000 g. Press the button to set the chosen product ­ 750 g, 1000 g or 1500 g. Refer to the recipe book. SELECTING THE COLOUR OF THE CRUST (BROWNING) By default, the colour of the crust is set at MEDIUM. If you want to change the default setting, press the button until the indicator light facing the desired setting comes on. START/STOP Press the button to switch the appliance on. To stop the programme or to cancel delayed programming, hold down on the button for 5 seconds. CYCLES On pages 22-23 is a table showing the steps in the various cycles according to the chosen programme. KNEADING For forming the dough's structure so that it can rise better. > REST Allows the dough to rest to improve kneading quality. > RISING Time during which the yeast works to let the bread rise and to develop its aroma. > BAKING Transforms the dough into bread and gives it a golden, crusty crust. > WARMING Keeps the bread warm after baking. It is recommende that the bread should be turned out promptly after baking, however. KNEADING: the dough is in the 1st or 2nd kneading cycle or in a stirring period between rising cycles. During this cycle, and for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 you can add ingredients: dried fruit or nuts, olives, bacon pieces, etc. See the summary table for preparation times (page 22-23) and the "extra" column. If using powdered milk, add the quantity of water stated in the recipe. It enhances the flavour and improves the keeping qualities of the bread. For recipes using fresh milk, you can substitute some of it with water but the total volume must equal the quantity stated in the recipe. Semi-skimmed or skimmed milk is best to avoid bread having a close texture. Milk also has an emulsifying effect which evens out its airiness, giving the soft, white part a better aspect. It also hydrates the starch in the flour and helps the soft, white part to form. Water can be totally or partially replaced with milk or other liquids. Artificial sweeteners cannot be substituted for sugar as the yeast will not react with them. SALT: salt gives taste to food and regulates the yeast's activity. Thanks to salt, the dough is firm, compact and does not rise too quickly. PRACTICAL ADVICE ADDITIVES (OLIVES, BACON PIECES, ETC. ): you can add a personal touch to your recipes by adding whatever ingredients you want, taking care: > to add following the beep for additional ingredients, especially those that are fragile such as dried fruit, > to add the most solid grains (such as linseed or sesame) at the start of the kneading process to facilitate use of the machine (delayed starting, for example), > to thoroughly drain moist ingredients (olives), > to lightly flour fatty ingredients for better blending, > not to add too large a quantity of additional ingredients, especially cheese, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, as they can affect the development of the dough, > to finely chop nuts as they can cut through the loaf structure and reduce the cooked height. Bread preparation is very sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions.
