Answer
During summer, loaves may sometimes collapse (and get a dent in the
centre) or rise too high. During winter, bread may not rise properly.
You can solve this by using water that has a temperature of
68°F/20°C.
During the initial mixing process, small amounts of flour may
sometimes stick to the sides of the bread pan and get baked onto the
sides of the loaf. If this happens, scrape off this part of the crust with a
sharp knife.
Dough may sometimes by sticky (i.e. too wet) depending on the
room temperature and the water temperature. Try using colder water
when you make the dough.
Sometimes the dough rises too much, which may lead to cracks in the
surface of the baked bread.
Yes, reduce the amount of water and replace it with eggs. Put the eggs
in the measuring cup first, then add water up to the level specified in
the recipe. Do not use the timer function when you use eggs, as eggs
may go bad.
Yes. However, the recipes in this booklet have been specially created
for this appliance and results may vary when you use other recipes. If
you experience problems with other recipes, please consult chapter
Troubleshooting.
Too much active dry yeast or ingredients that are not fresh (especially
flour and water) may cause the bread to have a strange odour. Always
measure ingredients carefully and use fresh ingredients for the best
results.
Depending on how coarsely ground the flour is, the baking results
may not be satisfactory. We recommend that you mix home-ground
flour with regular flour for the best results.
The dough shape was probably too big. Reduce the size of the dough
shape. The dough should only cover half the surface of the baking tray.
If further browning is desired, use program 10
The dough shape was probably too small. Put a larger dough shape
on the baking tray. The dough should cover half the surface of the
baking tray. If less browning is desired, change the crust colour to light.
The size of the dough shapes may be uneven. Make sure you divide
the dough in equally sized lumps.
