Moulinex HOME-BREAD user manual

The settings on a Moulinex Home-Bread bread machine may vary slightly depending on the model, but typically, common settings include:
1. Basic/Standard: This setting is used for making regular bread with a balanced combination of flour, yeast, water, and other ingredients. It is the most commonly used setting.
2. Whole Wheat: This setting is specifically designed for making bread using whole wheat flour. It usually involves a longer kneading and rising time to accommodate the heavier texture of whole wheat.
3. French Bread: This setting is ideal for making bread with a crispy crust and an open, airy interior, similar to traditional French baguettes.
4. Sweet Bread: This setting is intended for making bread with added sugar, honey, or other sweeteners. It usually requires a different baking temperature and time to ensure the bread doesn't burn.
5. Gluten-Free: This setting is specifically designed for making gluten-free bread using alternative flours, such as rice flour, potato starch, or almond flour.
6. Rapid/Quick: This setting reduces the total time required for breadmaking by using higher temperatures and shorter rising times. It is useful when you need fresh bread quickly.
7. Dough: This setting is used for kneading and rising the dough, but without baking it. It allows you to shape the dough manually for various recipes like pizza, buns, or pastries.
8. Jam: This setting is used to make fruit jams or preserves. It involves a longer cooking time with constant stirring to achieve a thick and smooth consistency.
9. Bake Only: This setting is used to bake pre-made dough or bread that has already gone through the kneading and rising process.
Remember to consult your specific bread machine's user manual for accurate settings and recommended quantities of ingredients for each program.

The duration for making bread in a bread machine can vary depending on the type of bread and the specific bread machine model. Typically, the process takes around 3 to 4 hours, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the chosen settings and the recipe being used.

In the Moulinex home-bread bread machine, it is generally recommended to add the liquid ingredients first and then the dry ingredients. This helps to ensure that the dough mixes properly and prevents any potential clumping of the dry ingredients.
