What to watch for when baking bread?

The quality of your bread depends on numerous factors: Always make sure that the
ingredients you use are fresh and are kept at room temperature. By following the above
notes, you will have no problems preparing fresh, delicious bread.
Ingredients
• Flour
Flour is the main ingredient in bread. Flour forms gluten when a liquid is added. How-
ever, gluten is responsible for the rising and for the fi rmness of the dough. Baking
properties are therefore highly dependent on the formation of gluten. For this reason,
check the manufacturer information on the fl our package to determine whether the
fl our is suitable for baking bread (fl our type). As fl our is one of the main ingredients in
bread, the amount of fl our is, in most cases, to be considered as a base factor when
calculating the amount for other ingredients. Therefore, always make sure that the
amount of fl our specifi ed in the recipe is weighed correctly.
• Yeast
Yeast causes the dough to rise, makes the bread lighter and easier to digest. When
baking bread in the bread machine, we recommend using dry yeast as dry yeast has
a longer shelf life and is easier to process compared to fresh yeast.
