BRIEF NOTES ON BREAD-MAKING MACHINES
Your appliance is a product to save effort. Its main advantage is that all the kneading, rising and baking operations take place within a limited space. Your bread machine will bring out easily and frequently superb loaves if you follow the instructions and you fully understand a few basic principles. The appliance cannot think for you. It cannot tell you that you forgot an ingredient or that you have used the wrong type or that you have measured incorrectly. The careful selection of ingredients is the most important phase of the bread preparation process.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

  1. Wash and dry all the components as described in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section.
  2. Put the machine in “cooking” mode and let it operate with no load for about 10 minutes.
  3. After it has cooled, clean it again.

Warning
During the first firing cycle the machine may emit smoke or a slight burnt smell. This is normal, and disappears after a few seconds.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

  1. Wash and dry well all components.
  2. Mount the kneading blade (I) on the pin inside the pan (L) (Fig 3).Ariete-133-Multicooker-Twist-Bread-Maker-fig-3
  3. Measure the ingredients with the measuring cup (M) or spoon (N) supplied, or weigh them and put them into the pan (L).
  4. Insert the pan on the appropriate pin inside the appliance, and turn it clockwise to lock it (Fig 4).Ariete-133-Multicooker-Twist-Bread-Maker-fig-4
    Warning
    It is essential to follow the sequence of insertion of the ingredients as described in the recipe. Usually, this sequence is: liquid ingredients, water, flour, eggs and others as in the recipe. Pour the yeast at last into the other ingredients. Avoidthe yeast is in contact with salt or liquid ingredients.
  5. Close the cover (G) and insert the plug into the electrical outlet. The display (E) will show “3:10”, with two fixed dots. The machine is automatically set to program “1”.
  6. Press the button (D) to select the desired cooking program.
  7. Press the button (C) to select the desired weight (500g, 750g, 1000g). The weight cannot be set in programs 8-19.
  8. Select the browning to be obtained (slight, medium, or intensive). The browning cannot be set in programs 8-19.
  9. If necessary, set the timer with the + or – buttons (B). The processing will start after the time set. If you do not set a time, the cooking will start immediately.
    Be careful when using the timer function with perishable ingredients (such as eggs, dairy products, etc).
  10. Press the On / Off button (O). The machine beeps and begins processing the ingredients (if a timer has been set, processing will start at the time set).
    During cooking it is possible that steam comes out from the fan under the lid (G): this is per-fectly normal.
  11. If additions (nuts, seeds, etc.) are planned in the program, the machine emits 10 beeps when it is time to open the lid and insert the remaining ingredients. This time varies according to the program.
  12. To stop the selected program, press the on/off button (O) for 3 seconds.
  13. When the time shown on the display (E) is “0:00”, the cooking process is finished. The appliance will beep 10 times and will automatically switch to the “Keep warm” mode for 1 hour. The “:” symbol will keep flashing (Except for the “Kneading” program).
  14. After keeping warm for 1 hour, the “keep warm” mode is deactivated. The display shows the symbol ( Ariete-133-Multicooker-Twist-Bread-Maker-fig-6). To disable the “keep warm” mode before 60 minutes, press the on/off button (O) for 3 seconds.
  15. Unplug it from the electrical outlet and open the lid (G).
  16. Wear oven mitts and firmly grab the handle of the pan (L) turning it counter-clockwise to release it and pull it out (Fig 5).Ariete-133-Multicooker-Twist-Bread-Maker-fig-5
  17. Allow to cool before taking the bread and then, using a non-stick spatula pull out the bread from the pan starting from the sides. If necessary, overturn the pan on a cooling grid or on a clean surface and gently shake until the bread comes out.
    Warning
    The pan becomes very hot. Be very careful when handling the pan, and always use protective gloves.

Never use metal utensils to remove the bread from the pan (L), in order to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

POWER SUPPLY INTERRUPTIONS

If the power supply interruption lasts less than 10 minutes, the program will continue as soon as the power supply is restored. If the interruption lasts more than 15 minutes, the program stops and the display returns to its default settings. In this case disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet, allow to cool, empty the pan, remove the ingredients, clean and start again.

ERROR CODES

If an error occurs, the display (E) may show the following error codes: ”H:HH”: the temperature inside the pan is too high.

  1. Press the On/Off button (O) for 3 seconds to stop the program.
  2. Unplug.
  3. Open the lid and allow the appliance to cool for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Restart the program.
    ”E:EO”: the temperature sensor is disconnected or out of order.Take the appliance to an authorized service center to check the operation of the sensor.

THE TIMER

The most common use of the timer is to prepare the bread during the night so that it is ready the next morning. It is possible to program up to 15 hours preparation using the timer. Do not use for bread or dough containing fresh milk, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, fruits, onions or any other ingredient which may deteriorate if left for a few hours on a hot and humid environment. Decide when you want your bread to be ready, for example at 6 a.m. Check what time it is when you start the program, for example 9. Calculate the time between these two times, in this case 9 hours. By manipulating the increase/decrease buttons (B), the timer will move forward or backward 10 minutes each time you press. it is not possible to reduce the time required by a program.

CONSISTENCY OF THE DOUGH
Check the product during the first 5 minutes of kneading, through the dedicated porthole (H). A smooth loaf should be formed. If not, maybe it is necessary to review the ingredients. If it is necessary to open the lid (G), do it during the kneading or the resting time. In all other moments you may compromise the successful outcome of the bread. If the dough seems sticky or sticks to the sides of the pan, sprinkle over a teaspoon of flour at a time. If it is too dry, pour a teaspoon of hot water at a time. It is possible to gently remove the ingredients remained stuck to the sides of the machine using a wooden or plastic spatula.

Warning
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary. Wait until the flour/water is completely absorbed in the dough before adding more.

Close the lid (G) before the end of the last kneading, otherwise the bread will not rise properly.

STORING THE BREAD
The bread you find on the market usually contains additives (chlorine, limestone, mineral tar dye, sorbitol, soybean, etc). Your bread does not contain any of them, so it will not last long as the bread sold on the market and will look different. Also, it will not have the flavour of the bread on the market, it will have the taste that bread should always have. It is preferable to eat it just made, but it can be store for two days at room temperature, in a polyeth-ylene bag from which you have removed all the air. To freeze homemade bread, let it cool, put it in a polyethylene bag and remove all the air, then seal and freeze.

HOW TO ADD THE INGREDIENTS

  • Follow the order indicated in the recipe.
  • Keep additional ingredients (fruits, nuts, raisins, etc) on one side and add them during the second kneading when the appliance beeps 10 times.
  • First introduce the liquid ingredients. Usually it is water but can include milk and/or eggs. Water must be warm (37°C / 100°F), but not hot. The too hot or too-cold water prevents the leavening.
  • Do not use milk with the timer. It could curdle before beginning the bread preparation process.
  • Add sugar and salt as indicated in the recipe.
  • Add the “liquid” ingredients (honey, syrup, molasses, etc).
  • Add the “dry” ingredients (flour, milk powder, herbs and spices).
  • If you use the timer, it will not be possible to add fruit or nuts during the second kneading, so add them now.
  • At last add dry yeast (or baking powder/sodium bicarbonate). Place it over the other ingredients -do not put it in the water, otherwise it will begin to act too soon.
  • If you use the timer, it is essential to keep the yeast (baking powder/baking soda) separate from the water/liquid, otherwise the yeast will come into action, it will rise and collapse before the bread-making process begins. The result will be a hard, dense, rough and edible product as a brick of a home. We advise to make a hole in the centre of the dome of the flour and put the yeast.

Flour
The type of flour you use is very important. The most important element contained in the flour is the protein called gluten, which is the natural agent that gives the dough the ability to mould and to retain the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast. Buy flour which on the package shows “TYPE 0” or “FOR BREAD” (like Manitoba), the latter has a high gluten content.

Other flours for bread
They include wholegrain flour and other cereals.
They provide an excellent dietary fibre intake but contain lower levels of gluten than white “type 0” flour. This means that the wholegrain loaves tend to be smaller and denser than the white loaves. In general terms, if in the recipe you replace white “type 0” flour with half wholegrain flour, you can prepare a product with wholegrain bread taste and the texture of white bread.

Yeast
Yeast is a living organism that multiplies in the dough. In the presence of moisture, food and heat, the yeast will grow and will release carbon dioxide gas. The latter produces bubbles that are trapped in the dough and make it grow. Among the various types of yeast available we recommend using dried active yeast. These are nor-mally sold in bags and must not be previously dissolved in water. You may also find “fast-acting” yeast or “yeast for bread machines”. These are stronger yeasts that have the ability to make the dough rise 50% faster compared to other ones. Use them only with the “QUICK OPTION” setting. Yeast in bags is very sensitive to moisture, so do not store partially used bags for more than one day. Alternatively, you can use fresh yeast blocks: 1 g of dry active yeast is equivalent to 3.5 g of fresh active yeast.

Dry and fresh active yeast equivalence table
Dry Fresh
1/4 bag 2g 1 tablespoon 7g
1/2 bag 4g 2 tablespoons 13g
3/4 bag 6g 3 tablespoons 21g
1 bag 7g 3.5 tablespoons 25g
1.5 bag 10g 5 tablespoons 37g
2 bag 14g 7 tablespoons 50g

Liquid ingredients
The liquid ingredient normally consists of water or milk or a mixture of the two. Water makes the crust crispier. Milk makes it softer and also the texture is softer. There are conflicting opinions on what should be the temperature of the water. You can decide for yourself as you get more familiar with the appliance. Water is another essential ingredient for bread. Generally, a water temperature between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F) is the most appropriate. But if you want to accelerate the bread making process the water temperature must be between 45°C (115°F) and 50°C (122°F). Water must be of good quality, and preferably bottled, as the limestone in the water can compromise the successful outcome of the bread. Instead of water you can also put the fresh milk or water with 2% milk powder, which enhances the taste and improves the colour of the crust. Some recipes even mention fruit juice.

Low fat content
Do not use oils, margarine etc with a low percentage of fat. These products contain little fat, while the recipe requires a higher amount, and you may not get the desired results.

Sugar
Sugar activates and feeds yeast allowing it to grow. It adds flavor and texture and helps browning the crust. Honey, syrup and molasses can be used instead of sugar, provided that you adapt the liquid ingredient to compensate. Artificial sweeteners must not be used, because they do not feed the yeast, and some kill it.

Salt
Salt helps controlling the growth of yeast. Unsalted bread could grow too much and then collapse. It also gives more flavour.

Eggs
Eggs will make your bread richer and more nutritious, add colour and help the shape and texture. Eggs are included in the liquid ingredients of the bread, so adjust the other liquid ingredients if you add eggs. Otherwise, the dough may be too liquid to rise properly.

Herbs and spices
They can be added at the beginning together with the main ingredients. Herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, oregano, parsley and basil add taste and look better. Use in small amounts (1-2 teaspoons) to avoid covering the taste of bread. Fresh herbs, such as garlic and chives, contain enough liquid to unbalance the recipe dosages, so you must balance the liquid content.

Additional ingredients
Additional ingredients (fruits, nuts, raisins, etc) can be added only in programs that provide them. Dried fruits and nuts must be cut into small pieces, cheese must be grated, chocolate must be chopped into small pieces and not in lumps. Do not add more than those indicated in the recipes, both erwise the bread may not grow properly. Pay attention to the fresh fruit and nuts because they contain liquid (juice and oil), so adjust the dosage of the main liquid ingredient to compensate.

THE PROGRAMS

  • Oil can be replaced with melted butter.
  • Follow the order of the table for the addition of ingredients.
  • In all the recipes you can replace the high-gluten flour with gluten-free flour, being careful with the other ingredients for gluten intolerant persons.
