PROGRAMMES

DISCOVER THE PROGRAMMES AVAILABLE IN THE MENU

• 1 Basic white

The Basic white Bread programme is used to make most bread recipes using white wheat flour.

• 2 French

The French Bread programme corresponds to a traditional French crusty white bread recipe.

• 3 Wholemeal

Wholemeal Programme is used to make wholemeal bread using wholemeal flour.

• 4 Sweet

The Wholemeal Bread programme should be selected when using wholemeal bread flour.

• 5 Super fast

The Fast Bread programme is specifically for the FAST bread recipe. The weight and browning settings are not available in this programme. The water for this recipe should be between 35° and 40°C maximum.

• 6 Gluten free

Gluten-free bread is to be made exclusively from gluten-free ready-made mixes. It is suitable for persons with celiac disease,

making them intolerant of the gluten present in many cereals (wheat, rye, barley, oats, Kamut, spelt wheat etc.). Refer to the specific recommendations on the packet. The trough must always be thoroughly cleaned to avoid any risk of contamination with other flours. In the case of a strictly gluten-free diet, take care that the yeast used is also gluten-free. The consistency of gluten-free flours does not yield an ideal dough. The dough sticks to the sides and must be scraped down with a flexible plastic spatula during kneading. Gluten-free bread will be of a denser consistency and paler than normal bread.

• 7 Salt free

Bread is one of greatest contributors to our daily salt intake. Reducing salt consumption can help reduce the risks of cardio-vascular problems.

• 8 Extra omega 3

This bread is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, thanks to a complete and nutritionally balanced recipe. Omega 3 fatty acids contribute to the proper function of the cardiovascular system.

• 9 Baguette

The baguette programme enables you to make your own baguettes. This programme comprises 2 stages.

1^st stage > Kneading and rising of the dough. 2^nd stage > Baking

The baking cycle starts once you have shaped your baguettes (to help you shape your baguettes, you will find an additional guide with your bread machine).

• 10 Cake

Can be used to make pastries and cakes with baking powder.

• 11 Jam

The Jams programme automatically cooks jams and compots (stewed fruits) in the pan.

• 12 Pasta

Programme 12 only kneads. It is for unleavened pasta, like noodles for example.

• 13 Dough

The Leavened Dough programme does not bake. It is a kneading and rising programme for all leavened doughs such as pizza dough, rolls, sweet buns.

• 14 Cooking only

The cooking programme is limited to 10 to 70 min. only, adjustable in steps of 10 min, with light medium or dark browning. It can be selected alone and used:

a) with the Leavened Dough programme, b) to reheat cooked and cooled breads or to make them crusty, c) to finish cooking in case of a prolonged electricity cut during a bread baking cycle.

This programme does not enable you to cook baguettes.

The breadmaker should not be left unattended when using programme 14.

To interrupt the cycle before it is finished, the programme can be stopped manually by holding down the button Ⓙ

CYCLES

On pages 27-28 is a table showing the steps in the various cycles according to the chosen programme.

KNEADING

For forming the dough's structure so that it can rise better.

> REST

Allows the dough to rest to improve kneading quality.

RISING

Time during which the yeast works to let the bread rise and to develop its aroma.

BAKING

Transforms the dough into bread and gives it a golden, crusty crust.

WARMING

Keeps the bread warm after baking. It is recommended that the bread should be turned out promptly after baking, however.

Kneading: the dough is in the 1st or 2nd kneading cycle or in a stirring period between rising cycles.

TIP

During this cycle, and for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 you can add ingredients: dried fruit or nuts, olives, bacon pieces, etc. A beep indicates when you can intervene.

See the summary table for preparation times (page 27-28) and the "extra" column.

This column indicates the time that will be displayed on your appliance's screen when the beep sounds. For more precise information on how long before the beep sounds, subtract the "extra" column time from the total baking time.

For example: "extra" = 2:51 and "total time" = 3:13, the ingredients can be added after 22 min.

Rising: the dough is in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd rising cycle.

Baking: the bread is in the final baking cycle. The word "end" lights to indicate the end of the cycle.

Warning: for programmes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, you can leave your preparation in the appliance. A one-hour warming cycle automatically follows baking.

The indicator lights.

The display remains at 0:00 for one hour of warming. The appliance beeps at regular intervals. At the end of the cycle, it stops automatically after 3 beeps. To stop the warming programme, unplug the appliance.

INGREDIENTS

- Fats and oils: fats make the bread softer and tastier. It also stores better and longer. Too much fat slows down rising. If you use butter, cut it into tiny pieces so that it is distributed evenly throughout the preparation, or soften it. You can substitute 15g butter for 1 tablespoon of oil. Do not add hot butter. Keep the fat from coming into contact with the yeast, as fat can prevent yeast from rehydrating. Do not use low fat spreads or butter substitutes.

- Eggs: eggs make the dough richer, improve the colour of the bread and encourage the development of the soft, white part. If you use eggs, reduce the quantity of liquid you use proportionally. Break the egg and top up with the liquid until you reach the quantity of liquid indicated in the recipe. Recipes are designed for one 50 g size egg; if your eggs are bigger, add a little flour; if they are smaller, use less flour.

- Milk: recipes use either fresh or powdered milk. If using powdered milk, add the quantity of water stated in the recipe. It enhances the flavour and improves the keeping qualities of the bread. For recipes using fresh milk, you can substitute some of it with water but the total volume must equal the quantity stated in the recipe.

Semi-skimmed or skimmed milk is best to avoid bread having a close texture. Milk also has an emulsifying effect which evens out its airiness, giving the soft, white part a better aspect.

- Water: water rehydrates and activates the yeast. It also hydrates the starch in the flour and helps the soft, white part to form. Water can be totally or partially replaced with milk or other liquids. Use liquids at room temperature.

- Flour: the weight of the flour varies significantly depending on the type of flour used. Depending on the quality of the flour, baking results may also vary. Keep flour in a hermetically sealed container, as flour reacts to fluctuations in atmospheric conditions, absorbing moisture or losing it. Use "strong flour", "bread flour" or "baker's flour" rather than standard flour. Adding oats, bran, wheat germ, rye or whole grains to the bread dough will give a smaller, heavier loaf of bread.

Using T55 flour is recommended unless otherwise specified in the recipe. Our recipes are optimised for the use of standard T55 flour. In the event that you use a blend of special flours for bread or brioche or milk bread, do not exceed 1000 g of dough in total for the bread pan and

450 g of dough in total for baguettes.

Sifting the flour also affects the results: the more whole the flour (i.e., the more of the wheat's outer envelope it contains), the less the dough will rise and the denser the bread. You can also find ready-to-use bread preparations on the market. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using these preparations. Usually, the choice of the programme will depend on the preparation used. For example: Wholemeal bread - Programme 3.

- Sugar: use white sugar, brown sugar or honey. Do not use unrefined sugar or lumps. Sugar acts as food for the yeast, gives the bread its good taste and improves browning of the crust. Artificial sweeteners cannot be substituted for sugar as the yeast will not react with them.

- Salt: salt gives taste to food and regulates the yeast's activity. It should not come into contact with the yeast. Thanks to salt, the dough is firm, compact and does not rise too quickly. It also improves the structure of the dough. Use ordinary table salt. Do not use coarse salt or salt substitutes.

- Yeast: yeast is what makes the dough rise. Use active dry baker's yeast in packets. The quality of yeast can vary, and it does not always rise in the same way. Bread can therefore come out differently depending on the yeast used.

Old or poorly stored yeast will not work as well as a freshly opened packet of dry yeast.

The proportions indicated are for flaked dried yeast. If you use fresh yeast, multiply the quantity by 3 (in weight) and dilute the yeast in a small amount of warm water with a little sugar for more effective action. There are dry yeasts in the form of small granular pellets that have to be rehydrated with a small amount of warm water with a little sugar. These are used in the same proportions as flaked dry yeast, but we recommend the latter as it is easier to use.

- Additives (olives, bacon pieces, etc.): you can add a personal touch to your recipes by adding whatever ingredients you want, taking care:

to add following the beep for additional ingredients, especially those that are fragile such as dried fruit,

to add the most solid grains (such as linseed or sesame) at the start of the kneading process to facilitate use of the machine (delayed starting, for example),

to thoroughly drain moist ingredients (olives),

to lightly flour fatty ingredients for better blending,

not to add too large a quantity of additional ingredients, especially cheese, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, as they can affect the development of the dough,

to finely chop nuts as they can cut through the loaf structure and reduce the cooked height.

BAGUETTE RECIPE

For this recipe, you will need all the baguette accessories supplied: 1 baguette baking rack (5), 2 non-stick baking trays (6), 1 slitter (11) and 1 brush (10).

Several sound signals will tell you that the kneading and rising of the dough is finished and the operating indicator will blink - fig. 13.

After the sound signals, the dough must be baked within one hour. After that time, the machine resets itself and the baguette programme is lost.

2ND STAGE: SHAPING AND BAKING THE BAGUETTES

To help you through those 7 steps, refer to the baguette shaping guide supplied.

- Remove the pan from the machine - fig. 15.

- Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface.

- Remove the dough from the pan and put it on your work surface.

- Roll the dough into a ball and, using a knife, divide it into 4 lumps - fig. 18.

- You will get 4 lumps of the same weight that you will need to shape into baguettes.

- Remove the pan from the machine - fig. 15. - Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface. - Remove the dough from the pan and put it on your work surface. - Roll the dough into a ball and, using a knife, divide it into 4 lumps - fig. 18. - You will get 4 lumps of the same weight that you will need to shape into baguettes.

TIP

To make your baguettes lighter and more airy, leave the dough balls to rest for five minutes before shaping them.

Follow the steps below for each lump of dough.

1) Flatten the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 1 cm thick.

2) Fold in half along its length.

3) Starting at one edge of the rectangle, join the dough together by pressing it with the palm of your hand throughout the length of the rectangle. You will thus get a thinner, more even rectangle.

4) Turn the rectangle over again, positioning the join on top.

5) Fold it in half again, rolling the dough around your thumb and pressing the join with the palm of your hand, so that the dough remains taught.

6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you get the desired length. The thickness and width of the dough must remain even.

The thickness and width of the dough must remain even.

The length of the baguette must be the same as that of the non-stick baking tray (approximately 18 cm).

7) Roll the dough with your hands without pressing too much until you get a regular shape.

TIP

You can vary the flavours of your breads by adding your own extra touch. For this, during stage 7 above, simply dampen the dough balls and then roll them in sesame or poppy seeds.

- Once you have shaped the baguettes, lay them on the non-stick trays - fig. 19.

The join in the dough must be underneath.

- For optimal results, make diagonal slits on the top surface of the baguettes with a toothed knife or with the slitter supplied so as to get a 1 cm slit - fig. 20+21.

You can vary the aspect of your baguettes by making cuts with scissors throughout the length of the baguette.

- Using the brush supplied, generously dampen the top of the baguettes, while avoiding any accumulation of water on the non-stick trays.

- Place your 2 non-stick trays holding the dough on the baguette rack supplied - fig. 22 .

- Set the baguette rack in your bread machine in place of the pan.

- Press the button once again to resume the programme and start the baking of your baguettes - fig. 23.

- At the end of the baking cycle, unplug the bread machine - fig. 14 ; Remove the baguette rack. Always use oven mitts as the rack is very hot.

- Remove the baguettes from the non-stick trays and leave them to cool on a rack - fig. 24 .

Note: for programmes 1 to 10 inclusive, total time does not include the keep hot time.

- All ingredients used must be at room temperature (unless otherwise indicated) and must be weighed exactly.

Measure liquids with the graduated beaker supplied. Use the double doser supplied to measure teaspoons on one side and tablespoons on the other. All spoon measures are level and not heaped. Incorrect measurements give bad results.

- Follow the preparation order.

Liquids (butter, oil, eggs, water, milk) Salt Sugar Flour, first half Powdered milk Specific solid ingredients Flour, second half Yeast

- It is important to measure the quantity of flour precisely. That is why you should weigh out flour using a kitchen scale. Use packets of flaked dried yeast (sold in the UK as Easy Bake or Fast Action Yeast). Unless otherwise indicated in the recipe, do not use baking powder. Once a packet of yeast has been opened, it should be sealed, stored in a cool place and used within 48 hours.

- To avoid spoiling the proving of the dough, we advise that all ingredients should be put in the bread pan at the start and that you should avoid opening the lid during use (unless otherwise indicated). Carefully follow the order of ingredients and quantities indicated in the recipes. First the liquids, then the solids. Yeast should not come into contact with liquids, sugar or salt.

- Bread preparation is very sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. In case of high heat, use liquids that are cooler than usual. Likewise, if it is cold, it may be necessary to warm up the water or milk (never exceeding 35°C). Any liquid used should be tepid, about 20 to 25°C (except for Super Fast Bread which should be 35 to 40°C max.).

- It can also sometimes be useful to check the state of the dough during the

second kneading: it should form an even ball which comes away easily from the walls of the pan.

If not all of the flour has been blended into the dough, add a little more water. If the dough is too wet and sticks to the sides, you may need to add a little flour. Such corrections should be undertaken very gradually (no more than 1 tablespoon at a time) and wait to see if there is an improvement before continuing.

- A common error is to think that adding more yeast will make the bread rise more. Too much yeast makes the structure of the bread more fragile and it will rise a lot and then fall while baking. You can determine the state of the dough just before baking by touching it lightly with your fingertips: the dough should be slightly resistant and the fingerprint should disappear little by little.

2. USING YOUR BREAD MACHINE

• If there is a power cut: if, during the cycle, the programme is interrupted by a power cut or mishandling, the machine has a 7-min protection time during which the settings are saved. The cycle starts again where it stopped. Beyond that time, the settings are lost.
• If you plan to run a second programme or bake a second loaf, open the lid and wait 1 hour before beginning the second preparation.
• For the baguette programme, after the kneading and dough rising stages, you have to use the dough within one hour following the sound signals. Beyond that time, the machine resets itself and the baguette programme is lost.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
• Clean the body of the appliance and the inside of the pan with a damp sponge. Dry thoroughly.
• Wash the bread pan, the paddle, the baguette holder and the non-stick plates in hot water.
• If the kneading paddle remains stuck in the pan, let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid to clean it with hot water.
• Do not wash any part in a dishwasher.
• Do not use household cleaning products, scouring pads or alcohol. Use a soft, damp cloth.
• Never immerse the body of the appliance or the lid.
• Do not put the baguette holder and the non-stick plates away in the bread pan so as not to scratch the coating.

2. FOR BAGUETTES

PROBLEMS/FAULTS POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The dough is not of a regular cross section.	The rectangle shape at the start is not regular or of a constant thickness.	Flatten out using a rolling pin if necessary.
The dough is hard to shape.	There is not enough water in the mixture.	Your mixture has not been successful, start again.
	The dough has been worked too much.	Form a ball again, leave to rest for 10 minutes and then start again from the beginning.
		Fashion the dough in two stages, with a 5 min rest in the middle.
The dough is sticky and it is hard to shape baguettes.	You have put too much water in the mixture	Flour your hands lightly, but not the dough or the work surface, if possible, and continue to fashion the baguettes.
	The water was too warm when it went into the mixture.
The dough tears easily or is lumpy on the surface.	The dough has been worked too much.	Form a ball again, leave to rest for 10 minutes and then start again from the beginning.
		Fashion the dough in two stages, with a 5 min rest in the middle.
The cuts in the dough ball are not very clear.	The dough is sticky - you have poured too much water into the mixture.	Start the baguette stage again by flouring your hands lightly, but not the dough or the work surface, if possible.
	The blade is not sharp enough.	Use the blade supplied or failing that a very sharp serrated knife.
	You are too hesitant when cutting.	Use a quick, sharp cutting movement.
The cuts tend to close up or do not open out during cooking.	The dough is sticky - you have poured too much water into the mixture.	Your mixture has not been successful, start again.
	The surface of the dough was not stretched enough when it was being shaped.	Start again, pulling the dough harder when you wrap it around your thumb.
The dough tears on the sides during cooking.	The cut into the dough is not deep enough.	Refer to page 26 to see the ideal shape for the cuts.
The cooked baguettes stick to the tray.	You have dampened the dough too much.	Remove the excess water added with the brush.
	The baguette holding plates stick too much.	Gently oil the plates before placing the dough on them.
The baguettes are not golden enough.	You forget to brush water on the dough before putting in the oven.	Be careful next time.
	You put too much flour on the baguettes when shaping them.	Brush well with water before putting in the oven.
	The room temperature is high (over 30°C).	Use colder water (between 10 and 15°C) and/or a little less yeast.
The baguettes have not sufficiently risen.	You forgot the yeast in your mixture.	Your mixture has not been successful, start again.
	Your yeast may have gone past its best-before date.
	There was not enough water in your mixture.
	The baguettes were squashed and flattened too much during the shaping phase.
