INSIDER’S GUIDE TO EASY BAKING
Your Welbilt Bread Machine produces delicious baked goods with
ease. This marvelous machine asks only that you carefully follow
the recipe instructions! In basic cooking, normally “a pinch of this
and a dash of that” is fine, but not for automatic bread machines.
Using an automatic Bread Machine requires you accurately
measure each ingredient (especially yeast and water) for best
results. For best results, have your ingredients at room temperature
65° to 85° F, unless otherwise specified.
TRADITIONAL YEAST BREADS
The mention of fresh-baked bread evokes different memories for
different people. But, there’s one thing certain about all good yeast
breads. They’re always moist and meaty. Pinch or squeeze a slice
of good bread. It will, slowly but surely, resume its original shape.
PREPARATION FOR GOOD RESULTS
Your Bread Machine produces satisfying results if you carefully
follow directions and use the indicated ingredients.
Bread Flour: Now available in most supermarkets in 5 lb. bags,
bread flour is higher in gluten than unbleached all-purpose flour.
Gluten, a natural protein found in wheat flour, makes dough elastic
when efficiently kneaded. This high gluten content produces higher
volume loaves. Bread flour is the flour of choice when working with
yeast and whole grain breads, unless otherwise specified. Never
use flour that has been sitting in an open bag or container for more
than six months or during an extended period of high humidity.
