To help ensure successful results, there are a few hints and tips worth noting. The bread machine is not a sealed unit and will be affected by temperature. If it is a very hot day or the machine is used in a hot kitchen, then the bread is likely to rise more, than if it is cold. The optimum room temperature is between 20°C /68°F and 24°C/75°F. On very cold days let the water from the tap stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before use. Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order suggested in the recipe. Keep the yeast dry and separate from any other liquids added to the pan, until mixing commences. Accurate measuring is probably the most crucial factor for a successful loaf. Most problems are due to inaccurate measuring or omitting an ingredient. Follow either metric or imperial measurements; they are not interchangeable. Perishable ingredients such as milk, cheese, vegetables and fresh fruits may deteriorate, especially in warm conditions. Do not add too much fat as it forms a barrier between the yeast and flour, slowing down the action of the yeast, which could result in a heavy compact loaf. Cut butter and other fats into small pieces before adding to the bread pan. Replace part of the water with fruit juices such as orange, apple or pineapple when making fruit flavoured breads.
