It is not recommended to bake with the TIMER at a high room temperature (over 90ºF). Note that recipes that call for milk, eggs, juice, dry fruit, etc. should not be programmed for food safety reasons. -9- CLEANING THE MACHINE AND BAKING PAN Cleaning the Machine and Baking Pan Storing the Home Bakery Junior Since dust and crumbs left inside the unit may cause scorching or uneven baking with the next use, be sure to clean the machine and the baking pan each time you use the HOME BAKERY JUNIOR. Do not immerse the HOME BAKERY JUNIOR or the baking pan in water or any other liquids. After use, be sure to unplug the unit and wait until the machine cools before cleaning. Wipe off the outside of the HOME BAKERY JUNIOR, including the lid with a damp cloth. To remove the lid for cleaning, open the lid approximately 30º and pull it up towards you, in the direction of the arrow. Clean the viewing window by wiping with a moist paper towel; wipe dry. To clean the baking pan, fill the empty baking pan with lukewarm water and liquid detergent. Allow the pan to sit for 30 minutes, empty the baking pan then remove the kneading blade. If the kneading blade is difficult to remove, hold the kneading blade in one hand and with the other hand grasp the rotating shaft from beneath the pan; turn both hands in opposite directions to free the blade. Clean the inside of the baking pan with a soft sponge, being careful not to damage the rubber seal under the rotating shaft. You may use a very soft brush to dislodge baked-on crumbs around the shaft and in the center of the kneading blade. To prevent loss, after cleaning the kneading blade attach it tot the baking pan. The baking pan is coated with a non-stick finish. Do not use hard utensils such as forks, knives or metal spatulas inside the baking pan. Do not use abrasives or metal scrubbers. The coating may change color after long use, this is caused by moisture and steam inside the machine and will not affect the performance of the HOME BAKERY JUNIOR. STORING THE HOME BAKERY JUNIOR Cool the unit completely with the lid open. Clean as described above. Be sure that all moisture inside the unit has dried completely before closing the lid to store. To avoid damage, do not place any heavy objects on the top lid. - 10 - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Questions & Answers Q1: Why do the height and shape of my bread loaves differ from time to time? A1: The height and shape of the bread is affected by room temperature, weather, humidity, altitude, use of the timer, and fluctuations in household current. The outcome of your bread may be affected if fresh ingredients are not used or if the ingredients were not measured correctly. Q2: Why does the bread rise excessively even if the ingredients are correctly measured? A2: Over-rising is caused by high temperature, high humidity, or strong yeast. Reduce the amount of yeast, water, or sugar. (Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.) Q3: Why does the bread have an unusual odor? A3: Stale ingredients or too much yeast may have been used. Be sure to use fresh ingredients and measure accurately. Q4: What should I do if the kneading blade is stuck to the bottom of my loaf? A4: The kneading blade is detachable and therefore may come off with the bread. Before slicing the loaf, remove the kneading blade with a fork or with tongs, be careful since it may be hot. Q5: Why is the TIMER limited to 13 hours? A5: Any setting beyond 13 hours may affect the quality of the dough resulting in a poor outcome in the finished bread. Q6: Why does the machine produce noises at midnight when the TIMER has been set? A6: When the TIMER has been set for baking bread in the morning, the machine starts operating at midnight. The sound heard is the motor during the kneading process. Q7: What will happen if the power is interrupted or the machine is unplugged accidentally? A7: The machine will resume operation if the power is restored within 20 seconds. If the power is interrupted for an extended length of time, the machine will stop in that stage and 3:50 will blink after resetting, but no bread will be baked. Remove the dough and begin again with new ingredients when the power returns. Q8: What will happen if the bread is not removed from the baking pan and allowed to cool? A8: The bread will become too soft absorbing condensation, and collapse because the steam in the bread cannot escape. Remove the bread from the baking pan immediately after it has baked. Q9: Is it possible to bake bread with the ingredient amounts found in general recipes or cookbooks? A9: The accompanying recipes were specifically created for this machine, results may vary when using any other recipes. Q10: Why does my bread sometimes have unmixed flour on the side crust? A10: Sometimes the flour may remain on the sides of the baking pan and will bake onto the sides of the loaf. If this happens, trim off that portion of the outer crust with a sharp knife. - 11 - RECIPE TABLE OF CONTENTS Recipe Table of Contents TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction The "Secret" Ingredients for Success Tips on Using your Bread Machine Yeast Bread Creating your Own Yeast Bread Tips on Dark Bread Special Glazes for Yeast Bread Measuring Ingredients Yeast Bread Basic Bread Course 100% Whole Wheat Bread Basic White Bread Honey Wheat Berry Bread Irish Soda Bread Raisin Bread Seven Grain Bread Hearty Oatmeal Loaf Potato Bread Crusty French Bread Pumpernickel Bread Light Rye Bread Italian Herb Bread Apple Oat Bread Russian Kulich Coconut Bread Chocolate Bread Sweet Bread Italian Wheat Bread Whole Wheat Nut Bread Sugar Free White Bread Fat Free Apple Oat Bread Fat Free Basic Wheat Bread Doughs Croissants Pizza Dough Traditional Pizza Dough Pizza Dough With Beer Thin-Crust Pizza Thick-Crust Pizza Crusty Rolls Soft Pretzels Butter-Rich Roll & Bread Dough Traditional Loaf Pan Rolls Cloverleaf Rolls Cinnamon-Raisin Rolls Cinnamon-Raisin Swirl Loaf Bread Sticks Troubleshooting Guide 12 13 13 14 14 14 15 15 16 17 17 17 17 17 18 18 19 19 19 19 20 20 20 20 21 21 21 22 22 22 22 22 23 24 24,25 26 26 26 26 26 26 27 28 28 28 28 28 29 29 30 - 12 - INTRODUCTION THE "SECRET" INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS Introduction The "Secret" Ingredients for Success If baking bread has always been a mystery to you, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find how easily the Home Bakery Junior can make you a great baker! The recipes outlined in this book have been carefully tested, but there are few tips we'd like to pass on to you to insure success every time. The most important tip is to follow the direction in the recipes exactly. Use the ingredients specified in the recipes. Once you become familiar with what the Home Bakery Junior can do, you'll be able to invent your own delectable concoctions. Breads will be only as good as the ingredients used; that's why it's so important to avoid making substitutions. Here's a list of the most common ingredients you'll find in our recipes: · All Purpose Flour is a blend of refined wheat flour especially suitable for making croissants and pizza. For best results, lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup then level it off with a knife. (It is not necessary to sift flour for bread). · Bread Flour is a type of wheat flour made from hard wheat that includes all of the gluten from the grain. Since bread flour has a higher gluten and protein content than all purpose flour, it is well-suited for use in yeast breads. Gluten gives structure and height to the loaf, thus bread flour rises better than other flours. It produces a higher loaf and bread that has a coarser texture. · Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added in small quantities to bread for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavor. They are also used to improve the texture of bread. · Cornmeal & Oatmeal come from coarsely ground white or yellow corn and from rolled or steel-cut oats. They are used primarily to enhance the flavor and texture of breads. · Cracked Wheat* is very coarse in texture. It comes from wheat kernels cut into angular fragments. It gives whole grain breads a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. · Gluten is an elastic protein found mainly in wheat flour (all flour contains some gluten). Gluten is an important element in all yeast breads, as it gives bread its structure or framework. Flours with a high gluten content make the best bread flours. · Vital Wheat Gluten (also called vital gluten or wheat gluten) is the dried gluten protein obtained from high protein, hard-wheat flour by rising off most of the starch. Adding gluten flour to bread recipes helps improve strength, texture height of the loaf. It is especially useful in recipes that call for wheat bread flour or low-gluten flours. · Rye Flour is a dark flour made from grain of rye. · Whole Wheat Flour, ground from the entire wheat kernel, is heavier, richer in nutrients, and more perishable than All Purpose Flour. · Seven-Grain Cereal Blend** is a blend of cracked wheat, oats, bran, rye, corn meal, flax seeds, and hulled millet. · Active Dry Yeast feeds on sugar and ferments it, thus causing dough to rise. Active dry yeast (simply dried granules of yeast) is made of tiny plants that change food (especially gluten and sugar) into bubbles of carbon dioxide. As these bubbles expand, the bread rises. Active dry yeast is best suited for use in bread machines. Note that "rapid rise", "quick rise" and "instant yeast" are not recommended for multiple rising, long fermentation periods or whole wheat bread machine cycles. The recipes developed for the Home Bakery used "Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast" or "Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Yeast". · The active dry yeast should be kept in the freezer of a refrigerator and please make it sure that the fresh yeast be used for baking a good quality bread. Using old yeast is not recommended as it may end up with adverse quality. · Butter, Margarine, and Oil "shorten", or tenderize the texture of yeast breads. French bread gets its unique crust and texture from the lack of added oils. However, breads that call for oils stay fresh longer. Butter should be measured and cut into small pieces. The recipes developed for the Home Bakery Junior used unsalted butter; however, regular butter or margarine can be substitute for unsalted butter. · Eggs add richness and velvety texture to bread doughs. Use large size eggs in these recipes. · Homogenized Milk & Buttermilk add texture and flavor. You may substitute homogenized milk or buttermilk for dry milk, but the loaf may be come out shorter and the crust may be darker than dry milk breads. · Salt is necessary when making yeast breads. It not only adds flavor but controls the growth of yeast, which helps the bread rise. Too much salt can kill the yeast, but too little lets the dough rise so fast it may fall before baking is complete. Salt also keeps bread from getting stale too quickly. Table salt and sea salt both work well in bread machines. Adjustment to the amount of salt will affect the action of the yeast. · Sugar is important for the color and flavor of breads, as well as to feed the yeast. Recipes in this booklet that call for sugar requires granulated sugar. Do not substitute powdered sugar or brown sugar unless indicated. · Fructose* is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruits, berries, and honey. The taste of fructose is identical to that of common sugar with the added benefit that it is 1-1/2times as sweet as sugar. Fructose is a carbohydrate, which must be accounted for in the diet. * Available at health food stores. ** Available at health food stores or in your local supermarket's hot cereal department. - 13- TIPS ON USING YOUR BREAD MACHINE Tips on Using Your Bread Machine Yeast Breads Creating Your Own Yeast Breads Yeast Breads Nothing is more satisfying ­ or more rewarding ­ than the heady aroma of freshly baked bread. With your Home Bakery Junior, you can have it anytime! All of the mystery has been taken out of the bread-baking ritual ­ the mixing,kneading, rising, and even the baking. Now you can choose your favorite recipe, measure the ingredients into the Home Bakery Junior, and experience a perfect, fragrant loaf every time! Besides preparing and baking fresh bread from start to finish, the Home Bakery Junior can also mix, knead and proof dough that you can shape and bake yourself in a conventional oven. So if you'd like to make long and crusty French bread, cinnamon rolls, or pizza crust with the convenience of the Home Bakery Junior, it's all possible with the easy recipes in this chapter. Creating your Own Yeast Breads With the Home Bakery Junior by Zojirushi, even the most inexperienced baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a loaf of bread. All themystery and hard work is gone. Inside this talented machine with a computer brain, the dough is mixed, kneaded , proofed, and baked without you. The Home Bakery Junior can also just prepare the dough, and when it's ready, you can shape and bake in a conventional oven. The recipes on the following pages are unique to the Home Bakery Junior Complement by Zojirushi. Each one features ingredients that best complement a particular loaf of bread, and each was tested in our machines. When creating your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old favorite, use this booklet as a guide for converting portions from your recipe to the Home Bakery Junior. These portion guidelines will result in heavier and somewhat coarser dough. Depending upon ingredients, an average loaf of bread will range from 7-1/2 to 9-3/4 inches in height. Here are some additional tips: · Liquids ingredients should be placed into the baking pan first, then the dry ingredients. The yeast should be added last and sprinkled on the dry ingredients so that the yeast doesn't come in contact with any liquid. · Note that most of our yeast breads call for bread flour, because our testing has shown that it provides the best quality bread. We recommend that you use bread flour in your own recipes as a substitute for all purpose flour. Bread flour contains more protein and gluten, which is essential in producing a successful loaf of bread in a bread machine. · In general, most bread recipes found in cookbooks are based on 6 to 7 cups of flour, and yield 2 loaves of bread. Often, these recipes can be successfully halved to be made in the Home Bakery Junior. · Adding ingredients such as fruits, and nuts, can easily be done using the "MIX BREAD" setting. Again, check our recipes for guidelines on how much of these ingredients you can add to your doughs. Be aware that additions like these tend to make doughs heavier and somewhat coarser in texture. · When using "Rapid Rise" yeast, be sure to select the "QUICK BAKING" course to eliminate one rising period. It will shorten the start-to-finish time considerably. · If the room temperature is above 77º F, it is recommended to use refrigerated liquids. Yeast and flour should be fresh and at room temperature, and butter should measured and cut into small pieces. · Changes in humidity or baking in high altitudes may require ingredient adjustments. Humidity tends to make dough moister. High altitudes tend to make the loaves rise too quickly. For humidity, try adding an extra tablespoon of flour to improve the consistency. Repeat if necessary until the dough forms a nice ball. For high altitudes, decrease the amount of yeast by approximately 1/2 teaspoon, and decrease the sugar slightly. Egg Glaze: Shouldn't it be the same as for Croissants and Butter Rich Roll's egg Glaze recipe? All three are different. egg glaze: 1 egg, beaten; 1 Tbsp. Water croissants: 1/3 cup butter, softened; 1 medium egg, beaten; 2 teaspoon water. butter rich rolls:1/2 egg beaten; 2 teaspoon water. · For recipes using the timer cycle, don't allow fresh ingredients, such as milk or eggs, to remain in the machine for more than 2 hours. · The DOUGH setting course is great for mixing, kneading, and proofing, (allowing dough to rise) and for richer doughs like croissant and brioche doughs. Use the Home Bakery Junior to prepare these doughs so all you need to do is shape and bake them according to your recipe. - 14 - TIPS ON USING YOUR BREAD MACHINE Tips on Dark Breads Special Glazes for Yeast Breads Tips on Dark Breads Breads made with whole-grain flours, such as whole wheat, or rye, require a bit more tender loving care to insure that they achieve the height of deliciousness. Notice that some whole-grain breads may also call for substantial amounts of bread flour, too. That's because the darker flours need to be "lightened" with a white flour for the best-tasting, best-looking loaf. Special Glazes for Yeast Breads Give your just-baked bread a professional finish. Select one of these special glazes to enhance your bread. Egg Glaze: Beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush generously over top crust of bread. Melted Butter Crust: Brush melted butter over just-baked bread for softer, tender crust. Milk Glaze: For a softer, shinier crust, brush just-baked bread with milk or cream. Sweet Icing: Mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk to make a smooth glaze; drizzle over raisin bread or sweet breads. Poppy/Sesame/Caraway Seed/Cornmeal/Oatmeal: Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over just glaze bread. Measuring Ingredients It is most important for the best possible result every time you bake bread, that you measure accurately and correctly. Dry ingredients such as flour and sugar need to be measured in "nested" measuring cups of the type that fit inside each other. They come as 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup. Liquid measuring cups are usually made of transparent glass or plastic with the line marking the gradations. The Zojirushi Home Bakery Junior comes equipped with a measuring cup and spoon. USE THE MEASURING CUP FOR LIQUIDS ONLY: it measures up to 1 cup when filled to the very brim. The measuring spoon has a small and large side. The large side measures 1 tablespoon to top: it measures 1/2 tablespoon or 1-1/2 teaspoons to the halfway mark on that side. The smaller side of measuring spoon measures 1 teaspoon to the top and 1/2 teaspoon to the half mark. How to Measure the Ingredients Dry Ingredients: 1. Spoon the dry ingredients into the cup filling it to overflowing. Do not press or shake down. 2. Level by sweeping off the excess with a knife. To measure 3/4 cup flour, for example, fill and level the 1/2 and the 1/4 measuring cups. Spices and small amounts of dry and liquid ingredients are measured in measuring spoon which comes with unit. Be sure to level off the same way. Liquid: 1. The liquid should be poured into the cup while the cup is placed on a flat surface and measured at eye level.
