Prima ABM11 - Other Ingredients

• SALT 8
Salt adds to the flavour of the bread of course but it can also be used to
slow down a particularly lively yeast.
•

• BUTTER (or fat) 9
Enhances the flavour and makes the loaf softer. Alternatives to butter are
margarine or olive oil. Avoid low fat spreads as these may be as little as
40% fat and will not have the same effect.
• SUGAR 10
Sugar adds to the flavour of the bread and goes some way to making the
crust go brown. Note: Most sachet yeasts do not rely on sugar to become
active.

• WATER 11
Use soft water if you can but your Prima Home Bakery will still make good
bread with hard water. There is often much debate on what temperature
the water should be. The answer is simple. If you put your hand in the
water and it feels cool then it’s fine. There is no need to warm the water
first. If you’re worried the water may be too cold from the tap just leave it to
sit for an hour in the kitchen before you use it. Making the water warm
could kill the yeast prematurely. The Prima Home Bakery takes the
guesswork out of bread making.

• OTHER INGREDIENTS 12
Other ingredients could mean anything from dried fruit, cheese, eggs, nuts
or yoghurt to other cereals like rye flour, corn meal or any number of herbs
and spices. It’s up to you. There are a couple of things to consider for best
results. Always be aware of the moisture content and adjust accordingly.
