• If you wish to add whole grains, leave them to soak overnight.
Reduce the quantity of flour and the liquid (up to 1/5 less).
• Leaven is indispensable with rye flour. It contains milk and aceto-
bacteria that make the bread lighter and ferment thoroughly. You
can make your own leaven but it takes time. For this reason concen-
trated leaven powder is used in the recipes below. The powder is
sold in 15 g packets (for 1 kg of flour). Follow the instructions given
in the recipes (½, ¾ or 1 packet). If less leaven than requested is
used the bread will crumble.
• If leaven powders with a different concentration (100 g packet for
1 kg of flour) are used, the quantity of flour must be reduced by 80 g
for 1 kg of flour.
• Liquid leaven sold in bags is also available and it is suitable for use.
Follow the doses specified on the package. Fill the measuring cup
with the liquid leaven and top it up with the other liquid ingredients in
the right dosage as specified in the recipe.
• Wheat leaven, which often comes dry, improves the workability of
the dough, the freshness and the taste. It is milder than rye leaven.
• Use either the NORMAL or VOLLKORN program when baking
leavened bread. Baking ferment replaces the leaven and is purely a
question of personal taste. This is very well suited for the use in the
bread maker.
• Wheat bran is added to the dough if you want particularly light bread
rich in roughage. Use one tablespoon for 500 g of flour and increase
the quantity of liquid by ½ tablespoon.
• Wheat gluten is a natural additive obtained from wheat proteins. It
makes the bread lighter and more voluminous. The bread falls in
more rarely and it is more easily digestible. The effect can be easily
appreciated when baking wholewheat and other bakery products
made of home-milled flour.
• The black malt used in some recipes is dark-roasted barley malt.
It is used to obtain a darker bread crust and soft part (e.g. brown
bread). Rye malt is also suitable but it is not as dark. You can find
this malt in whole food shops.
• Bread seasoning can generally be added to all our brown breads.
The amount depends on your personal taste and the manufacturer's
specifications.
• Pure lecithin powder is a natural emulsifier that improves the volume
of the bread, makes the soft part softer and lighter and keeps it fresh
for longer.
2. Adjust Doses
If the doses need to be increased or reduced, make sure that the pro-
portions of the original recipe are maintained. To obtain a perfect result,
the basic rules below for the adjustment of the ingredient doses must be
following:
• Liquids/flour: The dough ought to be soft (not too soft) and easy to
knead without becoming stringy. A ball can be obtained by kneading
it lightly. This is not the case with heavy dough like rye wholewheat
or cereal bread. Check the dough five minutes after the first knead-
ing. If it is too moist, add some flour until the dough has reached the
right consistency. If the dough is too dry add a spoonful of water at a
time during the kneading.
• Replacing liquids: When using ingredients containing liquids in a
recipe (e.g. curd cheese, yogurt, etc.) the required amount of liquid
must be reduced. When using eggs beat them in the measuring
beaker and fill it up with the other required liquids to the envisaged
amount.
If you are living in a place located at a high altitude (more than 750 m
above sea level) the dough rises faster. The yeast can be reduced in
these cases by ¼ to ½ teaspoon to proportionally reduce its rising. The
same is true of places with particularly soft water.
3. Add and Measure Ingredients and Quantities
• Always put in first the liquid and the yeast at the end. To avoid that
the yeast acts too fast (in particular when using the timing function),
contact between the yeast and the liquid must be avoided.
• When measuring use the same measuring units, that is to say use
either the measuring spoon supplied with the bread maker, or a
spoon used in your home when the recipes require doses measured
in tablespoons and teaspoons.
• The measures in grams must be weighed precisely.
• For the milliliter indications you can use the supplied measuring cup,
which has a graduated scale of 50 to 200 ml.
The abbreviations in the recipes mean:
tbs = level tablespoonful (or large measuring spoon)
tsp = level teaspoonful (or small measuring spoon)
g = grams
ml = millilitre
Packet = 7 g dry yeast for 500 g of flour – corresponds
to 20 g of fresh yeast
• Fruit, nuts or cereal ingredients. If you wish to add other ingredients,
you can do so in specific programs when hearing the acoustic sig-
nal. If you add the ingredients too early, they will be crushed during
the kneading.
4. Recipes for the Bread Maker Type BBA 3365
• The following recipes are for various bread sizes. In some programs
a difference is made in weight. We recommend you to use Level I
for a bread loaf of approx. 750 g and Level II for a bread loaf of ap-
prox. 1000 g.
CAUTION:
• Adjust the recipes to the appropriate weight.
• Ensure that the weight of the ingredients does not exceed 750 g in
level I or 1000 g in level II.
5. Bread Weights and Volumes
• In the following recipes you will find exact indications regarding the
bread weight. You will see that the weight of pure white bread is less
than that of wholewheat bread. This depends on the fact that white
flour rises more and hence limits need to be posed.
• Despite the precise weight indications there may be slight differ-
ences. The actual bread weight depends much on the humidity of
the room at the time of preparation.
• All breads with a substantial portion of wheat reach a large volume
and exceed the baking tin edge after the last rising in case of the
higher weight level. But the bread does not spill over. The part of the
bread outside the tin is more easily browned compared to the bread
in the tin.
• If for sweet bread the program SCHNELL is recommended, then
you can also bake (only) the smaller quantity of the respective
recipe in SÜSSES BROT program, which makes the bread more
spongy.
6. Baking Results
• The baking result depends on the on-site conditions (soft water –
high humidity – high altitude – consistency of the ingredients, etc.).
Therefore, the recipe indications are reference points, which can be
adjusted. If one recipe or another dose not work out straight the first
time, do not be discouraged. Try to find the cause and try it again by
varying the proportions.
• If the bread is too pale after baking, you can leave it to brown with
program BACKEN.
