Since then each culture has developed it’s own method of making bread using local ingredients and processes unique to them. This trend continues today. Even pre-packed supermarket bread differs in taste and texture from country to country. No matter how varied the range of breads o

Like most kitchen appliances, your bread maker is a labour- saving device. The principal benefit is that all the kneading, rising and baking is performed within a space saving, self- contained unit.

You and your Prima Home Bakery will produce outstanding results with the right ingredients. Just apply this simple rule: Best ingredients - best results, poor ingredients - poor results.

Loaves made with all brown flour tend to be smaller than white loaves due to the lower gluten content but there tends to be more flavour and texture to brown loaves. When buying this type of flour the strong, finely ground type will give better results in the bread maker. • WHOLEMEAL OR WHOLE-WHEAT

Alternatives to butter are margarine or olive oil. Avoid low fat spreads as these may be as little as 40% fat and will not have the same effect. • SUGAR 10 Sugar adds to the flavour of the bread and goes some way to making the cr

page 9 Home Bakery • OTHER INGREDIENTS cont. Things like cheese, milk and fresh fruit contain quite a lot of water, which will determine the look of the finished loaf. At first you can stick to dry substitutes like Parmesan cheese, dried milk or dried fruit. As you become more proficient with the machine you will instinctively know whether the dough looks too wet or too dry and can add flour or water during the process. Remember to consider the salt content of the ingredients

When you unpack your Home Bakery you should have the following items: 4 kneading blades, (2 large & 2 small).
