When combined with sugar and water at the right temperature, the yeest generates car- bon dioxide and makes the dough rise. Fresh dry activating yeast is recommended. (Once a package ls opened, store it in the refigarator to keep it active longer. + FLOUR ‘Bread flour is highly desirable because of its high protein content. (For some types of bread, all-purpose flour may also be added’) i When flour is kneaded with water gluten is formed for dough to rise better. Bread flour Is available in most markets. ‘Controls the action of the yeast, helps produce a fim dough, and prevents over fing.

In the case of putting an excessive volume of the bread flour into the bread pan compared with the volume of water (or milk), it will make some changes in the quality of the homemade bread, or it may cause malfunction due to the locking of the mixing blade. ‘Add the raisins, walnuts, vegetables, and other additional ingredients for bread at four minutes before the kneading process is finished, it beeps three times to tell you exactly when to add these ingredients.
