TIPS ON MAKING BREAD
For consistent results, follow these guidelines when baking bread, despite
possible variations in height and shape.
◦Use fresh ingredients: Old or stale ingredients can affect the taste and
texture of your bread.
◦Measure your ingredients accurately: For accurate measurements, use
a kitchen scale if possible. When using Saki's measuring cups or spoons,
fill them to the brim and level off without tapping or packing tightly.
◦Be cautious when adjusting the water temperature for your bread:
Consider the season or room temperature. If the room temperature is
high (77°F, 25°C), use colder water (41°F, 5°C) to prevent unintended
rising. If the bread doesn't rise enough due to low room temperature
(50°F, 10°C), use warmer water (68°F, 20°C).
◦Use the correct type of flour: The type of flour you use will affect the
taste and texture of your bread. For example, bread flour will produce
a loaf of bread with a higher gluten content, which will make it chewier.
◦Add the ingredients in the correct order: The order in which you add
the ingredients can affect the outcome of your bread. For example, if
you add the yeast to the wet ingredients first, it may not activate
properly.
◦Knead the dough for the correct amount of time: Kneading helps to
develop the gluten in the dough, which gives the bread its structure.
◦Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for bread
making is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
◦Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing can break down the gluten in
the dough, which can make it tough.
◦Bake the bread for the correct amount of time: If you bake the bread
for too long, it will become dry and hard.
◦Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: Slicing and
serving a warm loaf of bread will make it more crumbly.
◦To avoid overflow and burning, do not exceed the capacity of the
baking pan: This can cause a burning odor or smoke from the heater.
Additionally, avoid placing large and hard ingredients in the baking pan
to prevent damage to the non-stick coating and kneading blades.
Reminder:
◦Clean the bread maker after each use. This will help to prevent the
build-up of bacteria and mold.
◦Store the bread maker in a cool, dry place. Storing the bread maker in
a cool, dry place will help to extend its lifespan.

INGREDIENTS
Here are some common ingredients used in bread making and their effects
on the bread:
•Flour: The main ingredient in bread, flour provides structure and texture.
Different types of flour have different properties, which will affect the
taste and texture of the bread.
◦Bread flour: Bread flour is a type of flour that has a high gluten content.
Gluten is a protein that gives bread its structure and elasticity. Bread
flour is often used for making white bread, but it can also be used for
making other types of bread, such as sourdough bread.
◦Whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is made from the entire wheat
kernel, including the bran and germ. This gives whole wheat flour a
higher fiber content than other types of flour. Whole wheat flour can be
used to make bread, but it may result in a denser loaf of bread.
◦All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is a type of flour that has a medium
gluten content. It is a good all-purpose flour that can be used for making
a variety of baked goods, including bread, cakes, and pastries.
◦Gluten-free flour: Gluten-free flour is made from a variety of flours, such
as rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch. Gluten-free flour can be
used to make bread, but it may require some additional ingredients, such
as xanthan gum, to give the bread structure.
•Yeast: Yeast is a living organism that produces carbon dioxide gas, which
causes the dough to rise. The amount of yeast you use will affect the rise
of the bread.
◦Dry yeast: Dry yeast is a dehydrated type of yeast commonly used in
bread making. It must be dissolved in warm water before use. Store
opened yeast in the fridge and use within 48 hours. Use the
recommended amount in the recipe to avoid overflow.
◦Instant yeast: Instant yeast is a type of yeast that has been
pre-hydrated. It can be added directly to dry ingredients without having
to be dissolved in water first. Instant yeast is often used in bread
machines because it is more convenient.
•Water: Water is essential for bread making. It helps to activate the yeast
and gives the dough its structure. The amount of water you use will affect
the consistency of the dough.
•Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of bread and helps to control the rising of
the dough. The amount of salt you use will affect the taste of the bread.
Table salt, sea salt or kosher salt all can be used.
13

•Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness and helps brown the crust of the bread.
The amount used affects the bread's sweetness. Avoid substituting with
powdered sugar, brown sugar, or artificial sweeteners, unless specified.
If the recipe doesn't specify, you can use honey, brown sugar, golden or
similar alternatives.
•Oil or Butter: Oil or butter contributes richness, flavor, and moisture to
bread. The quantity used influences the bread's texture, with more oil or
butter resulting in increased tenderness. Unless stated otherwise in the
recipe, vegetable oil or olive oil can be substituted for butter.
•Eggs: Eggs enhance richness and flavor, while also binding the
ingredients in bread. The amount of eggs affects the bread's texture,
with more eggs yielding a denser result. Use room
•temperature eggs, unless instructed otherwise. Avoid using fresh eggs
with the delay function.
•Dairy Products: Dairy products like milk, yogurt, or sour cream enhance
the richness, flavor, and moisture of bread. The choice of dairy product
influences the taste and texture. Milk creates a lighter bread, while
yogurt or sour cream result in a denser texture.
•Other Ingredients: Various ingredients can be incorporated into bread
making, including nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and spices. These
additions contribute to the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of the
bread.

baking a simple loaf of bread. It features a longer rise time and a moderate
baking temperature. This is because basic breads, without any special
ingredients, require more time to rise and develop their flavor.
