Moreover, yeast shall be stored in refrigerator as it may be killed at high temperature, before using, en-
sure the yeast is fresh by checking the expiration date of yeast. Store it back to the refrigerator as soon
as possible after each use. Usually bread or dough, which fails to rise, is due to stale yeast being used.
The ways described below will check whether your yeast is fresh and active or not.
• Pour 1/2 cup warm water (45-500C) into a measuring cup
• Add 1 tsp. white sugar into the cup and stir, then sprinkle 2tsp. yeast over the water.
• Put the measuring cup in a warm place for about 10min. Do not stir the water.
• The froth generated by yeast shall come up to 1-cup mark; otherwise the yeast may be stale or inactive.
9. Salt
Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. But salt can also restrain yeast from rising.
Never use too much salt in a recipe. If you don't want to use salt, omit it, but bread would be a
bit larger.
10. Egg
Eggs add richness and a soft texture to bread dough and cake.
11. Grease, butter and vegetable oil
Grease is helpful to make bread softer and prolong storage life. Butter should be melted or
chopped to small particles prior to use so that it can be stirred evenly.
12. Baking powder
Baking powder is a raising agent mainly used in making the Ultra Fast bread and cake. It does not
require fermentation time before baking as the chemical reaction works during baking process.
13. Soda
The same as above, it can also be used in combination with baking powder.
14. Water and other liquids
Water is indispensable ingredient for making bread. Generally, water temperature between 20°C
and 25°C is ideal. But for making Ultra Fast bread, the water temperature should be within 45-
50°C in order to enhance fermentation rate. The water may also be replaced by fresh milk, or
water mixed with 2% milk powder, which may enhance bread flavor and improve crust color.
Some recipes call for juices (such as apple juice, orange juice, lemon juice and etc.) in order to
add bread flavor.
One most important step for making good bread is to measure ingredients accurately. It is strongly
suggested using measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate measurement, otherwise the
bread will be largely influenced.
1. Liquid ingredient measurement
Water, fresh milk or similar liquids should be measured with measuring cup.
When reading amount, the measuring cup shall be placed on a horizontal flat surface and keep
your eyes level, the liquid level line must be aligned with the mark of measurement.
Before measure oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly.
2. Dry ingredient measurement
Dry ingredient should be kept in natural loose condition and measured with measuring spoon or
cup, dry measuring shall be done by gently spooning ingredients into measuring cup, once filled,
level off with knife to ensure accurate measurement.
3. Add-ingredient sequence
Usually ingredients shall be added according to the following sequence: liquid ingredients, eggs,
salt and milk powder etc. When adding flour, it shall not be contacted by liquids completely and
the yeast shall be placed on the dry flour. Pay special attention that yeast must not contact with
salt. If the machine is provided with auto add-ingredient function, fruit ingredients shall be added
only after beep sound is heard to prompt you. In addition, when you use "long-time" delay
function, never add the perishable ingredients such as eggs or fruit ingredients.
