"BREAR-MAKER" mode

Programs

1. Bread (basic mode)

It includes all the three stages of bread making: dough kneading, dough rising and baking.

2. Rye

Bake healthful bread of rye flour.

3. Baguette (French bread)

Bread making takes more time, the bread has large porous crumb and crispy crust.

4. Pie

This program allows using the unit as an ordinary electric oven. Use it for baking from ready-made dough or for baked bread additional browning.

5. Dough 1 (dough kneading)

Use this program to knead dough for home-baked pastry (pies, pizza, etc.).

6. Gluten free

Gluten or fibrin is the albumen found in the seeds of Gramineae plants (wheat, rye and oats are especially rich in it) and determining such characteristics of dough as elasticity and springiness. With the help of digestive enzyme most people including children successfully break up gluten that serves as a good source of albumen. But there is a group of people with genetic predisposition for gluten provoking coeliacia, quite a rare disease. When suffering from this disease it is necessary to eliminate gluten-containing foods from the diet. You can bake gluten-free dietarybread in our bread maker (usually of rice, corn, buckwheat flour or special baking mixes).

7. Wholegrain

Bake healthful bread of fine or crude flour. It is not recommended to use the delay function when making this bread as that may cause undesirable effects.

8. Jam

Use this program for homemade jam. Chop the fruit for jam beforehand.

9. Yogurt

Make the tastiest natural yogurt of milk and leaven. Use yogurt or prebiotics as a leaven. See the details in the "Recipe book".

10. Dough 2 (dough for paste)

Make dough for homemade pasta; add tomato paste or herbs in order to give dough additional color and aroma.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Ingredients

Flour

The characteristics of flour are determined not only by the sort but also by the conditions of grain cultivation, processing method and storage. Try to bake bread using flour of different manufacturers and grades and find the one corresponding to your needs. The basic types of bread flour are wheat and rye flour. Wheat flour is used more widely, it is because bread of wheat flour has a pleasant taste and has high nutritional value.

Bread flour

Bread (refined) flour made of inner part of grain only, contains the maximal gluten quantity that provides the crumb elasticity and prevents bread dropping. Pastry made of bread flour is more puffy.

Whole-grain flour (wholemeal)

Whole-grain (wholemeal) flour is obtained by grinding whole wheat grains together with the membrane. This sort of flour is distinguished for its enhanced nutrition value. Whole-grain bread is usually smaller in size. In order to improve the consumer properties of bread whole-grain flour is often mixed with bread flour.

Corn and oatmeal flour

In order to improve the bread texture and additional flavor properties mix wheat or rye flour with corn or oatmeal one.

Sugar

Sugar enriches the pastry in additional flavors and gives bread golden color. Sugar is a nutritional medium for yeast growth. Add to pastry not only refined but brown sugar and sugar powder as well.

Yeast

Yeast growth is accompanied by emission of carbon dioxide, that contributes to the formation of porous crumb. Flour and sugar are a nutritional medium for yeast growth. Add fresh compressed yeast or fast-acting yeast powder. Dissolve fresh compressed yeast in warm liquid (water, milk, etc.), and add fast-acting yeast to the flour (it does not require preliminary activation, i.e. adding of water). Follow the recommendations on the packing or observe the following proportions:

1 tea spoon of fast-acting yeast powder is equal to 1,5 of tea spoon of fresh compressed yeast.

Store yeast in a refrigerator. Yeast is destructed at high temperatures, and the dough rises poorly.

Salt

Salt gives bread additional flavor and color, but slows down the yeast growth. Do not use excessive quantities of salt. Always use fine salt (coarse one can damage the form's non-stick coating).

Eggs

Eggs improve the structure and volume of the pastry, give additional flavor. Eggs should be whipped carefully before adding to the dough.

Animal and vegetable fats

Animal and vegetable fats make the pastry softer and increase its storage life. Cut butter into small cubes or let it melt a little before adding it.

Baking powder and soda

Soda and baking powder (leaven) shorten the time necessary for dough rising. It is necessary to mix soda with citric acid and a little flour beforehand (5 g of baking soda, 3 g of citric acid and 12 g of flour). This amount of the powder (20 g) is rated for 500 g of flour. Do not use vinegar for soda slaking, it will make the crumb less homogeneous and damper. Baking powder (leaven) is just to be poured into the form following recipe instructions.

Water

Water temperature plays the crucial role in bread making process. Optimal water temperature is 20-25°C, you may as well use milk instead of water or enrich bread flavor by using some natural juice.

Dairy foods

Diary foods improve the nutrition value and flavor of the bread. The crumb becomes more beautiful and savoury. Use fresh diary foods or powdered milk.

Fruit and berries

Use only fresh and quality fruit and berries for jam making.

DOSAGE

The secret of good bread lies not only in the quality of ingredients but also in precise abidance to their proportions.

- Use a kitchen scale or the measuring cup (22) and spoon (24), included in the delivery set.

- Fill the measuring cup (22) with liquid to the appropriate mark. Check dosage, placing the cup (22) on a flat surface.

– Clean the cup (22) carefully before measuring another type of liquid.

ENGLISH

• Do not compact dry ingredients when putting them into the measuring cup (22).
• It is important to screen the flour before measuring in order to saturate it with air, this provides the best baking quality. The heap should be removed with a knife.

INGREDIENTS LOADING

- The following order of ingredients loading is recommended (unless otherwise is specified in the recipe): liquids (water, milk, oil, whipped eggs, etc.). are poured on the bottom of the baking form (2), dry ingredients are fed afterwards, yeast powder is added last.

• See that flour does not become completely wet, put yeast in dry flour only. Yeast should not come in contact with salt before kneading as salt reduces yeast capacity.
• When using the delay function do not put perishable foods – for example, eggs, fruit, milk – into the form (2).

Attention!

All recipes are non-regulatory as the required amount and proportions of the ingredients may vary depending on local peculiarities of the food and altitude above sea level.
