What is better than baking wholesome, delicious loaves for relatives and friends

? Baking made extra easy with your very own bread machine! Now clearly with a little know how, you can do this by hand. However it can also be a lot of work. Especially if your family consumes numerous loaves per week. A good bread machine can be a wonderful investment. A good bread maker doesn't cost a lot and it can save you loads of time. Once you have decided on a machine, there are a few guidelines that will help with your baking.

Tips:

1. Get to know your machine - Try to learn about your machine's features early on. You should become very comfortable with it. You accomplish this by kicking the tires sorta speak. Study your machine's manual, learn how it opens, closes etc... You should be familiar with most if not all of its functions and the control panel.

2. What is your machine's capacity - Your bread pan's capacity should be stated in the owner's manual. Test it yourself. I suggest performing your own rough calculations, using a measuring cup to fill up your bread pan with water. Add one cup of water to your bread pan until it appears to be full. In the case of a 1.5 pound bread pan, ten full cups of water should do the trick. You should be able to fill up a two pound bread pan with about twelve cups.

3. Study your Bread Machine's Settings - Once you are ready to begin, make sure that your instruction manual is available. You will be amazed by the different things that your new machine can do and hence its settings. Make sure you cover at minimum the basics, Start/stop, timing functions and cycles.

4. Ingredients - Now this next section is very important. Your ingredients determine your success. It does not matter whether you are using a family recipe, one from online or one from a cookbook. As you know the basic ingredients are flour, butter, salt, sugar, yeast and water. When utilizing a recipe from online or a family recipe, you must remember to adjust your ingredients accordingly. Was your recipe for a 1 1/2 pound loaf or a 2 pound loaf? Any modifications that you make should contain ingredients that are in the same proportion as your original recipe. Your owner's manual should have a few recipes for comparison also. The ingredient amounts are very important so be prepared to devote a little extra time in this area.

As you know there are a number of bread making machines on the market of which you can choose. They basically all do the same thing. What determines how well your loaves come out depends mostly on the items mentioned above. The proper care of your bread maker and the proper preparation of your bread should allow you and your family to enjoy tasty loaves for many years to come. Bake something tasty and fresh tonight!
