Troubleshooting - West Bend 47413 Manual De Instrucciones

Review the following Problems, Possible Causes and Solutions below.
Gluten free breadmaking can be tricky. To prevent baking a dense brick of bread
rather than a fluffy loaf, use these helpful tips.
• Use room-temperature ingredients, including eggs.
• Reverse the normal order of adding ingredients. Start with the yeast and dry
ingredients, add half the wet ingredients, and then start the cycle. Allow the ingredients
to mix for several minutes and gradually add the remaining wet ingredients.
• Observe the dough during the knead cycle. If the breadmaker has difficulty mixing
ingredients thoroughly, use a spatula to scrape around the pan to assist.
• Use an instant read thermometer to take the temperature of your bread before you
remove it from the bread pan. If internal temperature has not reached 205-210°F,
your loaf will be under done. Bake on the bake cycle for additional time, until
internal temperature is between 205-210°F.

Wheat breads will be shorter than white breads due to less gluten forming protein
in whole-wheat flour.

Top and sides cave in
• Too much liquid – Reduce liquid by 1-2 teaspoons.
• Too much yeast – Use recommended amount.
Gnarly or knotted top, not smooth
• Not enough liquid – Increase liquid by 1-2 teaspoons.
