PROGRAM MENU
Basic BreadFor white and mixed breads, it mainly consists of basic bread flour.
French BreadFor light breads are made from fine flour. Normally the bread is fluffy and has a crispy crust. This is not suitable for baking recipes requiring butter, margarine or milk.
Whole-Wheat BreadFor bread, it mainly consists of whole wheat bread flour. This setting has a longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the delay function as this can produce poor results. Whole-wheat usually produces a crispy thick crust.
Sweet BreadFor sweet breads setting are for baking breads contain high amounts of sugar, fats and proteins, all of which tend to increase browning. Due to a longer phase of rising the bread will be light and airy.
Gluten Free BreadFor the bread of gluten-free flours and baking mixtures. Gluten-free flours require longer for the uptake of liquids and have different rising properties
Quick breadKneading, rising and baking time is shorter then basic bread but longer than Ultra-fast bread. The bread interior tissue is denser.Quick breads are made with baking powder and baking soda that activated by moisture and heat. For perfect quick breads, it is suggested that all liquids be placed in the bottom of the bread pan; dry ingredients on top, during the initial mixing of quick bread batters, dry ingredients may gather at the corners of the pan, it may be necessary to help machine mix to avoid flour clumps. If so, use a rubber spatula.
CakeKneading, rising and baking occurs, but rise with the aid of soda or baking powder.
DessertKneading and baking those foods which contain more fat and protein.
Rice breadMix cooked rice into the flour with 1:1 to make the bread.
Corn BreadMix cooked corn into the flour with 1:5 to make the bread.
Purple BreadMix cooked purple rice into the flour with 1:3 to make the bread.

INGREDIENTS INTRODUCTION
Bread FlourBread flour is the most important ingredients of making bread and is recommended in most yeast-bread recipes. It has a high gluten content (so it can be also called high-gluten flour which contains high protein), and keep the size of the bread from collapsing after rising. Flour varies by region. The gluten content is higher than the all-purpose flour, so it can be used for making bread with large in size and higher inner fiber.
All-Purpose FlourFlour that contains no baking powder and is suitable for “quick “breads or bread made with the Quick settings. Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads.
Whole-Wheat FlourWhole-wheat flour is ground from the entire wheat kernel. Bread made with contain higher fiber and nutritional content. Whole-Wheat flour is heavier that as a result, loaves may be smaller in size and have a heavier texture.It contains wheat skin and gluten. Many recipes usually combine with whole -wheat flour or bread flour to achieve the best result.
Black Wheat FlourBlack Wheat Flour also named as “Rye Flour”, it is a kind of high fiber flour and similar with whole-wheat flour. To obtain the large size after rising, it must be used in combination with high proportion of bread flour.
Self-rising flourFlour that contains baking powder, use especially for making cakes. Do not use self-rising flour in combination with yeast.
Corn flour and oatmeal flourCorn flour and oatmeal flour are ground from corn and oatmeal separately. They are the additive ingredients of making rough bread, which are used for enhancing the flavor and texture.
SugarSugars is “food” for yeast and also increase the sweet taste and color of bread. It is a very important element of making the bread rise. White sugar is normally used, however, brown sugar, powdered sugar or cotton sugar may also be called for in some recipes.
YeastYeast is a living organism and should be kept in the refrigerator to remain fresh. It needs carbohydrates found in sugar and flour as nourishment. Yeast used in bread maker recipes will be sold under several different names: bread machine yeast(preferred),active-dry yeast and instant yeast.After yeasting process, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide will expand bread and make the inner fiber soften.1 tbsp dry yeast =3 tsp dry yeast1 tbsp dry yeast =15ml yeast1 tsp dry yeast =5mlBefore using, check the expiration date and storage time of yeast. Return to refrigerator immediately after each use, the fungus will be killed at high temperature usually the failure of bread rising is caused by the bad yeast.TIP: To check whether your yeast is fresh and active:
Pour 1 cup (237ml) warm water ((113-122℉) into a measuring cup.
Add 1 tsp (5ml) white sugar into the cup and stir, then 1 tsp (15ml) yeast over the water.
Place the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
Fresh, active yeast will begin to bubble or “grow” .If it does not, the yeast is dead or inactive.3
SaltSalt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. It is also used to restrain yeast activity. Never use too much salt in a recipe. But bread would be larger if without salt.
EggEggs can improve bread texture, make the bread more nourish and larger in size. The egg must be whisked in with the other liquid ingredients.
Grease, Butter and Vegetable OilGrease can make bread soften and delay storage life. Butter should be melted or chopped to small pieces before adding to liquid.
Baking PowderBaking powder is used for rising the Ultra Fast bread and cake. As it does not need rise time, it can produce the air, The air will form bubble to soften the texture of bread utilizing chemical principle.
Baking SodaIt is similar with baking powder. It can be also used in combination with baking powder.
Water and Other Liquids (always add first)Water is essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water should be in room temperature between 68℉ and 77℉. Some recipes may call for milk, or other liquids purpose of enhancing bread flavor. Never use dairy with the Delay Timer option.
USE EXACT MEASUREMENT
TIPS: One of the most important steps of making good bread is the proper measurement of ingredients. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to your bread pan in the order given in the recipe.It is strongly suggested that use measuring cup or measuring Tsp to obtain accurate amount, otherwise the bread will be largely influenced.
Adding Sequence
Always add ingredients in the order given in the recipe.FIRST: Liquid ingredientsSECOND: Dry ingredients
LAST: Yeast
The yeast should only be placed on the dry flour and never come in contact with the liquid or salt.When you use the Delay Timer function for a long time, never add perishable ingredients such as eggs or milk. After the flour is complete kneading for first time, a beep will heard and put fruit ingredients into the mixture. If the fruit ingredients are added too early, the flavor will be diminished after long time stir.
Liquid Ingredients
Water, fresh milk or other liquids should be measured with measuring cups with clear markings and a spout. Set the cup on the counter and lower yourself to check the liquid level. When measuring cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly without any other ingredients.
Dry Measurements
Measure dry ingredients by gently pouring flour, etc., into the measuring cup and then, once filled, leveling off with a knife. Never use the measuring cup to scoop your dry ingredients directly from a container as this could add up to one tbsp of extra ingredients. Do not tap the bottom of the measuring cup or pack down.TIP: Before measuring, stir the flour to aerate it. When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, such as salt or sugar, use a measuring Tsp, making sure it is leveled off.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or housing in any liquid. Allow bread maker to cool down completely before cleaning.
To clean the kneading paddle: If the kneading paddle is difficult to be removed from the bread, add water to the bottom of the bread pan and allow soaking for up to 1 hour. Wipe the paddle carefully with a damp cotton cloth. Both the bread pan and kneading paddle are dish-washing safe components.
To clean bread pan: Remove the bread pan by turning it counterclockwise, and then lift up the handle. Wipe inside and outside of pan with damp cloth. Do not use any sharp or abrasive agents in order to protect the non-stick coating. The bread pan must be dried completely before installation.Note: The bread pan and kneading paddle are dishwasher-safe. The outside of the bread pan and base may discolor. This is normal.
To clean the housing and top lid: after use, allow unit to cool. Use a damp cloth to wipe lid, housing, baking chamber and interior of viewing window. Do not use any abrasive cleaners for cleaning, since this will degrade the high polish of the surface. Never immerse the housing into water for cleaning.Note: It is suggested not disassembling the lid for cleaning.
Before the bread maker packed for storage, ensure that it has completely cooled down, is clean and dry, and the lid is closed.
USE ENVIRONMENTThe machine may work well in a wide range of temperature, but there will be any difference in loaf size between a very warm room and cold room. We suggest that the room temperature should be within the range of 59℃ to 93.2°F.
