•••• YOUR FIRST LOAF 20
Before we start, if you have skipped forward to this part of the book and not read the
preceding pages like the rest of us then shame on you! You may be about to waste
some flour!
The following recipe is for a basic white loaf. Even if you do not usually eat white
bread we strongly recommend you make this as your first loaf because it is easiest. It
will give you a good feel for the machine and when you remove your perfect loaf you’ll
want to show it off to your friends or relatives who invariably waste no time at all in
eating it!
Follow the steps in the exact order shown on the next page. The illustrations should
help you stay on the right track. You will need the following ingredients to hand:
Water 250ml
Strong white bread flour
460g
Butter or margarine 2tbps
Sugar 2tbsp
Salt
2 tsp (NOT tbsp!)
Yeast (sachet type) 2½ tsp (usually 1 full 7g sachet)
This will make a 1½ lb loaf
Use good kitchen scales to measure the flour. Use the measuring
cup provided for the liquid or, if you prefer, any measuring jug
that’s calibrated in ml.
