2.5. Ingredients

Ingredients are the most important step in making bread. By choosing the proper ingredients, you can make top grade bread. In order to save time, we have summarized some valuable experience as a reference for you.

1. Flour

The flour tendon is the most important confect material in making bread. Flour tendon of the can keep the state of the paste and saves the carbon dioxide brought by baking powder. The term "puissant flour" means the flour has high tendon content. This

BECKEN®

kind of flour is made from high grade wheat, very proper for making bread. Therefore, make sure the flour you bought has a high tendon content.

2. Flour/black wheat flour

Black flour includes 85% kernel without dusk, the chaff content of most of kernel is small. The bread made from black flour is smaller than the bread made from white flour, because the tendon content of the black flour is low, but the taste of black bread is better.

3. Whole wheat flour

This flour with kernel includes plenty of fiber. This fiber can prevent the loss of tendon, so bread made from whole-wheat flour is smaller than the one made with white flour bread and the crust is thicker as well. This kind of bread has an excellent taste. Our company has designed programs, especially for this whole wheat flour, that take longer time in blending and fermenting.

4. Ferment powder

The ferment powder is the live organization in paste. The carbon dioxide bobbers of the ferment powder let the paste fermenting. You should better use "atom shape" to dry the ferment powder. This dry powder comes from sachet, which is independent on sugar when fermenting. It contains low sugar content and it is good for your health. The unused baking powder should be kept in at a low temperature in a dry and airproof place.

5. Salt

Salt can add taste. It can also reduce the speed of fermenting.

6. Butter

It can add taste and make the bread softer. You can also use man-made butter and olive oil.

7. Sugar

Sugar can adjust the color and taste of bread as it will cook lure bread. Notice: if you add sugar, many kinds of sachet and baking powder cannot be activated easily.

8. Water

You can use daily use water. A temperature at around 20^irc C will be better.

9. Other ingredients

You should choose ingredients according to your own taste, such as cheese, dry fruit, egg, nut, black wheat flour, herb, flavor, etc, but you should notice the content of the water of each one of them. For example, cheese, milk, fresh fruit have high water content. The water may make the paste too wet, so you should adjust it according to specific condition. You can also use dry cheese and dry milk instead. When you become familiar with this bread maker, you will know if the water content is too high or too low. You can add water and flour to adjust it, but you should remember how much salt you have added in as it will reduce the speed of fermenting. Some ingredients can be mixed at the beginning, such as dry milk and yogurt, but some of them should wait for the buzz on the maker, such as paste, nut, dry fruit. Refer to the time form so you can know when the maker will buzz.

10. Circumstance

The working circumstance is very important and the distance of the bread between heat circumstance and cold condition is 15%. Do not place the bread maker in a place with drought, above all the anti wind function is limited. If the house is too wet, it also effect the bread.

11. Bread storage

The bread that you make by yourself does not include antiseptic. However, if you deposit the bread in a clean and closed container and then place it in the refrigerator, the bread can be stored for 5-7days. Besides, you can have the bread iced, but you should better put it into a plastic bag after cooling down.

12. Check components

When you open the bread maker, you can find the following components:

• 2 kneading arms: put them over the axis after cleaning.
• 1 measuring cup: you may use this cup to measure the liquid ingredients.
• 2 measuring spoons: the reference of the confect material in this manual is all according to these two spoons (5ml, 15ml).
