YOUR FIRST LOAF 20
Before we start, if you have skipped forward to this part of the book and
not read the preceding pages like the rest of us then shame on you! You
may be about to waste some flour!
The following recipe is for a basic white loaf. Even if you do not usually
eat white bread we strongly recommend you make this as your first loaf
because it is easiest. It will give you a good feel for the machine and
when you remove your perfect loaf you’ll want to show it off to your
friends or relatives who invariably waste no time at all in eating it!
Follow the steps in the exact order shown on the next page. The
illustrations should help you stay on the right track. You will need the
following ingredients to hand:
Water 480ml
Strong white bread flour 900g
Butter or margarine 4tbps
Sugar 2tbsp
Salt 2 tsp (NOT tbsp!)
Yeast (sachet type) 2½ tsp (usually 1 full sachet)
Use good kitchen scales to measure the flour. Use the measuring cup
provided for the liquid or, if you prefer, any measuring jug that’s calibrated
in ml.
