Cleaning And Maintenance - T-Fal Actibread Manuel D'utilisation

Sugar.
Use white sugar, brown sugar or honey. Do not use sugar cubes. Sugar acts as food for the yeast,
provides a sweeter tasting bread and improves the browning of the crust. Artificial sweeteners cannot be
substituted for sugar as the yeast will not react with them. Artificial sweeteners cannot be substituted for
sugar as the yeast will not react with them.
Salt.
Salt gives taste to food and regulates the yeast's activity. Unless otherwise noted, it should not come
into contact with the yeast. Thanks to salt, the dough is firm, compact and does not rise too quickly. It also
improves the structure of the dough. Use ordinary table salt. Do not use coarse salt or salt substitutes.
Yeast.
Baker's yeast exists in several forms: fresh in small cubes, dried and active to be rehydrated or dried
and instant. Fresh yeast is sold in supermarkets (bakery or fresh produce departments), but you can also buy
fresh yeast from your local baker. In its fresh or instant dried form, yeast should be added directly to the
baking pan of your breadmaker with the other ingredients. Remember to crumble the fresh yeast with your
fingers to make it dissolve more easily. Only active dried yeast (in small granules) must be mixed with a little
tepid water before use. Choose a temperature close to 95°F, less and it will not rise as well, more will make it
lose its rising power. Keep to the stated amounts and remember to multiply the quantities if you use fresh
yeast (see equivalents chart below).

of the machine (delayed starting, for example),
> to thoroughly drain moist ingredients (olives),
> to lightly flour fatty ingredients for better blending,
> not to add too large a quantity of additional ingredients, especially cheese, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables,
as they can affect the development of the dough, respect the quantities indicated in the recipes,
> that no ingredients fall outside the pan.
