Using
• Bread preparation is very sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. In case of high heat, use
liquids that are cooler than usual. Likewise, if it is cold, it may be necessary to warm up the water or milk
(neverexceeding95°F).
• It can also sometimes be useful to check the state of the dough during the second kneading: it should
form an even ball which comes away easily from the walls of the pan.
- If all the flour has not been blended into the dough, add a little more water,
- if the dough is too wet and sticks to the sides, you may need to add a little flour.
Such corrections should be undertaken very gradually (no more than 1 tablespoon at a time) and wait to
see if there is an improvement before continuing.
• A common error is to think that adding more yeast will make the bread rise more. Too much yeast
makesthestructureofthebreadmorefragileanditwillrisealotandthenfallwhilebaking.Youcan
determine the state of the dough just before baking by touching it lightly with your fingertips: the dough
should be slightly resistant and the fingerprint should disappear little by little.
Precautions for using gluten-free programs
• Theflourmixtureshavetobesiftedwiththeyeasttoavoidclumps.
•The kneading needs some encouragement:to foster their incorporation, scrape down any unmixed
ingredients from the sides to the middle of the bowl using a spatula (made of wood or plastic to avoid
scratching the coating).
• Youshouldalsohelpwithincorporationwhenaddingingredients.
• Thenatureoftheingredientsusedforgluten-freerecipesdoesnotallowthebreadtobrownasitnormally
would. The top of the bread often remains rather light.
• Gluten-freebreadcannotriseliketraditionalbreadandoftenremainsflatontop.
•Not allpremix brands deliver the sameresults: therecipes mayneed tobe adjusted.Therefore, we
recommend that you experiment (see example below).
Example:adjustthequantityofliquidaccordingtotheconsistencyofthedough.Itshouldberelatively
supple, but not too moist.
Exception: cake dough should have more liquid.
Too much liquid OK Too dry
