PREPARATION AND PRODUCTION OF INDIVIDUAL LOAVES
(programmes 1 à 7)
To make this bread you need all of the accessories dedicated to this function: 1
baguette baking stand (5), 2 non-stick plates for baking baguettes (6-7), 1 slashing tool
(8) and 1 pastry brush (11).
1. Kneading and rising of dough
• Plug in the bread maker.
• After the acoustic signal, programme 1 is displayed by default.
• Select the browning level.
• We advise against only baking one batch because the result
would be too well done.
• If you opt for baking 2 batches: it is advisable to shape all your
rolls and keep half in the fridge for the second batch.
• Press the button
the timer flash. The dough kneading cycle begins, followed by
the dough rising.
Notes:
• During the kneading stage, it is normal for some parts not to
be well mixed.
• When the preparation is completed the bread maker switches
to standby. Several acoustic signals tell you when the dough
has been kneaded and has risen and the pilot lamp also flashes.
The indicator for shaping of the individual rolls lights up.
After the dough kneading and rising stages, you must use your dough within an hour
of hearing the beeps. Beyond that, the machine resets and the programme is lost.
In this case, we recommend that you use programme 7 which is the programme for
baking individual loaves.
2. Example of preparation and baking of baguettes
To help you through those steps, refer to the baguette shaping guide supplied. We are
showing you what a baker does, but after a few trials, you will be able to create your
own shapes. Whatever you do, the result is guaranteed.
• Remove the pan from the machine.
• Lightly flour the work surface.
• Take the dough out of the pan and place it on the work surface.
• Shape the dough into a ball and use a knife to divide it into 4
pieces.
• You will obtain 4 pieces of equal weight which are to be shaped
into baguettes.
For lighter baguettes, leave the dough pieces to rest for 10 minutes before shaping
them.
The length obtained for the baguette should correspond to the size of the non-stick
plate (approximately 18 cm).
You can vary the flavours by adding ingredients to your rolls. To do this, just moisten
the dough pieces and then roll them in sesame or poppy seeds.

You can vary the presentation of your baguettes and make incisions using scissors
along the length of the baguette.
• Using the pastry brush provided, generously moisten the top of the baguettes, avoiding
water accumulating on the non-stick plates.
• Place the 2 non-stick plates containing the baguettes on the baguette stand supplied.
• Install the baguette stand in your bread maker instead of the pan.
• Press the button
again to restart the programme and start baking your baguettes.
• At the end of the baking cycle, there are 2 solutions available to you:

• Position them on the plates (without burning yourself ).
• Put the stand in the machine and press
• At the end of the baking time you can unplug the machine.
• Remove the baguettes from the non-stick plates and leave
them to cool on a rack.
