Choose a Bread Machine

Nothing nicer than waking up in the morning with the smell of warm bread. No need to go to the baker, do yourself a bread became a breeze thanks to the arrival of bread machines in our kitchens. This appliance, similar in appearance to a fryer, can knead the dough, leaven and bake bread. This device not only helps to make and cook the dough, but also pizza or cake dough. You want to purchase a bread machine but do not know what to choose? Here are some tips to guide you in your choice.
Establishment of a bread machine
The establishment of a bread machine is very simple. Its use, meanwhile, is a little more complicated. A standard device comprises a vessel and an integrated resistor which allows the cooking mold in a non-stick metal with a rotating propeller which mixes and kneads the dough. New models have a cover window that allows to control cooking. The front panel has a 'control panel' with a digital screen to access the different menus and multiple programs of device. Just simply pour ingredients (always beginning with liquids), choose its program and cooking method, and the bread machine does the rest automatically.
Operation of a bread machine
Most models of bread maker are provided with four phases of variable duration depending on the selected program and the tank dimensions.
* Warm ingredients: The machine warms slightly the ingredients arranged in the tank before starting the kneading phase. All the machines do not have this feature.
* Kneading: So this is for the machine to mix, slowly at first, all the ingredients poured into the tank. The dough is then kneaded. Some bread machines, a beep indicates the end of kneading phase announcing the time comes to add raisins, chocolate chips, candied fruit or other according to the desired preparation.
* Lifting: One or more cycles of lifting the dough punctuated by short kneading phases allow the yeast to act for good bread.
* Cooking: This is the final phase in which the bread is baked. When cooked, the smell of fresh baked bread invades your home...
Standard programs of bread machines
* Manufacture of bread 'standard', 'French for example', 'fast fashion', 'brioche', 'complete' or 'sweet' for cakes.
* Making pizza dough (kneading but no cooking)
* Jam making
* Cooking (already prepared dough)
Options for a bread machine
* The option of 'delayed start' is significant because it allows you to program in advance preparations without worrying about the time of startup. This option is valid for the preparation of bread, but recipes containing fresh foods like milk or butter will not benefit.
* The selection of bread WEIGHT (250 g to 1.50 kg) depending if your family is large or not.
