is therefore perishable. If you wrap the bread in a vacuum package after cooling down,
you will be able to keep it for a few days. Of course you can also freeze the bread.
PROBLEMS WHICH MIGHT OCCUR
Several factors can cause your bread to fail. In the following list you will fi nd a series
of problems and possible solutions.
The bread has caved in
If your bread looks caved in, this means the dough you made was too moist. Try
adding a smaller quantity of water. When you use preserved fruits or vegetables,
please make sure they have been soaked and thoroughly dried beforehand. You could
also try using a lighter variety of fl our. If your bread caves in, tbis could also be the
result of over-rising. The dough has risen to an extent it could not cope with. In this
case, try adding a little less yeast, 1 or 2 grammes.
The centre of the bread is not suffi ciently baked
This may be due to the type of fl our you used, often too heavy varieties such as rye
fl our or wholemeal fl our. Try to program an extra kneading process when using these
types of fl our. As soon as the breadmaker has terminated the fi rst kneading process,
you press stop. Next, you reprogram the breadmaker and press start: the appliance will
start kneading again, a larger quantity of air has now been absorbed by the dough. You
could also try selecting the dark crust colour, because this slightly increases the baking
temperature.
The bread has risen too much
If your bread rises higher than it ought to, you have used too much yeast. Please check
whether you have used the right quantity and the right type of yeast. Too much sugar
can overactivate the yeast.
Try reducing the dose of sugar and do not use too much dried fruits or honey, which
equally contain a lot of sugar. Try using 10 to 20 ml less water. Do bear in mind that a
lower degree of humidity could brake the activity of the yeast. Sometimes over-rising
can also be caused by fl our that was grinded too fi ne. These varieties of fl our do not
require an equally active yeast as heavier varieties do.
The bread is too dry
Try using less fl our or add a tablespoonful of liquid. While your breadmaker is
kneading fairly heavy dough or when you have programmed longer kneading times,
the appliance may occasionally tremble a bit. Therefore you must make sure your
breadmaker is always positioned on a stable surface, not too near to another object and
not too close to the edge of the kitchen sink unit.
The bread is fl at
If you are using grinded fl our or wholemeal fl our, your bread tends to be somewhat
