COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What haa happened to the kneader blada ?
It may have been baked into the bottom of the loaf of bread. See step 12 on page
10 for how to remove the kneader blade from the loaf.
Why ia bread flour (high grade flour) uaad in moat of the racipea ?
Bread flour (high grade flour) is high in protein. When kneaded the protein produces
gluten that gives bread a strong structure more tolemnt of variations in the recipe,
weather conditions, etc., than all- purpose flour.
Can I uae all-purpose flour in my breadmaker ?
You may use all- purpose flour, however, the bread will be lower in volume and the
texture will be slightly different than bread made with bread flour (high grade flour).
Because the bread structure is less strong than when bread flour (high grade flour)
is used, breads made with all-purpose flour aren’t as tolerant to additional ingredients
such as fruit, grains or vegetables.
Can I uae aalf - rising flour in my breadmaker ?
No, the leavening in self-rising flour interferes with the yeast, and the result will not
be satisfactory.
What ia gluten?
Gluten is the insoluble protein found in wheat flours. Hard wheat has a higher gluten
content than soft wheat. Gluten is formed when liquid is added to flour and kneaded.
Gluten is the foundation of a good loaf of bread.
Can I uae my favorite bread racipaa in my braadmaker ?
You can if you are willing to experiment. Unfortunately, there is no tried- and- true
formula for doing this because bread recipes vary. The recipe needs to be scaled
down to fit the flour restrictions of your breadmaker (4 ?4 cups for BAKE settings,
4 !4 cups for DOUGH setting). You will have to figure amounts mathematically. (For
example, if a favorite recipe uses 7 )4 to 8 cups of flour, because your breadmaker
has a maximum amount of 4 % cups of flour for baked recipes, you could begin
by using 4 cups of flour and one-half of the amount of remaining ingredients.) Use
the same order of adding ingredients to the inner pot as recommended in our recipes.
