MEASURING

THE most important secret of making bread. Exact measurements.

That’s the key to successfully baking bread. Exact measurements.

With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the

cups/ounces marked clearly on the

side. After filling the measuring cup,

place it on a flat surface and view it at

eye level to make sure the amount of

liquid is exact. Then, double check.

With dry ingredients, always “level off”

the measurement with the back of a knife

or a spatula to make sure the measure-

ment is exact. Another helpful tip is to

never use the cup to scoop the ingredi-

ents (for example, f/our). By scooping,

you could add up to one tablespoon of

extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup

with a spoon before leveling off.

The SECOND most important secret of making bread.

Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order

given in the recipe. This means:

FIRST, liquid ingredients

-SECOND, dry ingredients

LAST, yeast

Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, unless

otherwise noted (that is, between

77’85°F

or 25°C -30°C).

Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread

rises and bakes.

Last, its a good idea to start with fresh ingredients

(especially fresh flour and yeast).

Now, lets try a simple (but really good) recipe.
