General Hints and Tips
G
Do not exceed the quantities given in recipes as you may damage your bread
machine.
G
If the bread does not rise well try replacing the tap water with bottled water or boiled
and cooled water. If your tap water is heavily chlorinated and fluorinated it may affect
the bread rising. Hard water can also have this effect.
G
It is worth checking the dough after about 5 minutes of continuous kneading. Keep a
flexible rubber spatula next to the machine, so you can scrape down the sides of the
pan if some of the ingredients stick to the corners. Do not place near the kneader, or
impede its movement. Also check the dough to see if it is the correct consistency. If
the dough is crumbly or the machine seems to be labouring, add a little extra water. If
the dough is sticking to the sides of the pan and doesn't form a ball, add a little extra
flour.
G
Do not open the lid during the proving or baking cycle as this may cause the bread to
collapse.
