Enjoy the old-fashioned aroma and goodness of home-baked bread the fun and easy new-fashioned way: using an electric bread machine! Here are some tips to help you make the best bread machine bread ever.
Read your bread machine manual carefully, especially the tips and hints. Make sure the machine is assembled correctly.
Add ingredients in the order specified by the manufacturer.
Carefully measure ingredients with standard measuring cups and spoons. Even little variations can dramatically affect the finished loaf.
Ingredients should be at room temperature, except for those normally stored in the refrigerator such as milk, sour cream and eggs.
For best results, use bread machine yeast. Its finer granulation helps the yeast disperse more thoroughly during mixing and kneading. Remember that when the weather is hot and humid, yeast action speeds up; when it's cold out, yeast action slows down.
For high-volume loaves, use bread flour. For more about flour, also see Flour.
Be careful when you peek! Checking the progress of your bread is tempting, but peek only during mixing and kneading. If you open the machine during rising or baking, the loaf can collapse.
When using the delay cycle, be sure the yeast doesn't come in contact with liquid or wet ingredients. Don't use the delay cycle with recipes that contain eggs, fresh dairy products (butter and margarine can be used), honey, meats or fresh fruits and vegetables because bacteria can grow while these ingredients stand in the bread machine for several hours.
If you get the urge to experiment by changing the ingredients, make just one change at a time so you can clearly see the result.
For consistent results, keep your bread machine in the same place, away from drafts and areas of your house where heat and humidity fluctuate widely. Keep the area around your bread machine open for good ventilation.
