INGREDIENTS6
Fat and oil: fats make the bread softer and tastier. It will also keep better and for longer. Too
much fat slows down rising. If you use butter, make sure that it is cold and dice it to distribute
it evenly in the preparation. Do not add warm butter. Avoid the fat coming into contact with
the yeast because the fat could prevent the yeast from rehydrating.
Eggs: eggs enrich the dough, improve the colour and encourage good development of the
interior. Recipes are calculated for one medium egg weighing 50 g; if the eggs are larger, add
less liquid; if the eggs are smaller then you will have to add a little more liquid.
Milk: you can use fresh milk (cold, unless stated otherwise in the recipe) or powdered milk.
Milk also has an emulsifying eect which forms more regular air cells and therefore gives the
interior of the bread a good appearance.
Water: water rehydrates and activates the yeast. It also hydrates the starch in the our and
allows the interior of the bread to be formed. Water may be partially or completely replaced
by milk or other liquids. Temperature: see paragraph in the “preparation of recipes” section
(page 296).
Flour: the weight of the our varies considerably depending on the type of our used.
Depending on the quality of the our, the baking results of the bread may also vary. Keep
the our in an airtight container because it reacts to ambient conditions, either absorbing or
losing humidity. It is preferable to use “strong”, “bread making quality” or “bakery” our rather
than standard our. Adding oats, bran, wheat germ, rye or even whole grains to the bread
dough will give a heavier bread that has not risen as much.
The use of T55 our is recommended, unless stated otherwise in the recipes. If using
special our mixtures for bread or brioche or milk bread, do not exceed a total of 1000 g
of dough. See the manufacturer’s recommendations for the use of these preparations.
Sieving the our also aects results: the more complete the our is (i.e. it contains part of
the wheat grain husk, the less the dough will rise and the heavier the bread will be.
Sugar: use white or brown sugar or honey. Do not use sugar lumps. Sugar feeds the yeast,
gives the bread a good avour and improves browning of the crust.
Salt: gives the bread taste and regulates the activity of the yeast. It should not come into
contact with the yeast. Thanks to the salt, the dough is rm, compact and does not rise too
quickly. It also improves the structure of the dough.
Yeast: baker’s yeast comes in several forms: fresh in small cubes, dried active yeast for
rehydration or instant dried yeast. Yeast is sold in supermarkets (bakery or chilled sections),
but you can also buy fresh yeast at the bakery. Fresh or instant dried yeast should be directly
incorporated into the baking pan of your machine with the other ingredients. However, you
can break up the fresh yeast with your ngers to spread it around the mixture. Only dried
active yeast (which comes in small balls) should be mixed with a little warm water before
use. The ideal temperature is around 35°C; below this it will be less eective and above this it
risks losing its activity. Make sure that you keep to the recommended doses and think about
multiplying the quantities if you use fresh yeast (see the table of equivalences below).

CYCLES5
• A table page 292 - 293 - 294 describes the breakdown of the various programme cycles.
Warming : for programmes 1 à 6 et 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, you can leave your preparation
in the appliance. A one-hour warming cycle automatically follows baking.
Programs 7, 15, 16, 17, 19 do not have the “keep warm” function.
The display remains at 0:00 during keeping warm hour. The operating indicator light ashes.
A beep is heard at regular intervals.
At the end of the cycle the appliance stops automatically and beeps several times.
See the summary table of preparation times below and in particular the column
“Time displayed at the ingredients signal”. This column gives the time displayed
on the screen of your device when the beeps are heard. In order to establish more
precisely after how long the beeps will be heard, you simply need to subtract the
time in the “time displayed at the ingredients signal” column from the total baking
time.
E.g.: “Time displayed at the ingredients signal” = 2:51 and “Total Time” = 3:13, the
ingredients can be added after 22 min.
While the programs mentioned above are underway, press the MENU button once to nd
out how much time there is left until the “add ingredients” signal sounds. For programs 1 to
6, press the MENU button twice to nd out how much time there is left before moulding the
bread rolls.
Kneading:
During this cycle, except for programmes 7, 13, 15, 17, 19, you can add ingredients:
dried fruit, olives, bacon bits, etc. A series of beeps tell you when you can add them.
Do not put more additives than is indicated in the recipe, and make sure they do not
fall outside the baking tray or the bowl.
