If pre-heating of the oven is necessary,instructions to do so will be given in theSettings section of the recipe.
The time required for pre-heating is notincluded in the overall baking orcooking duration.
Pre-heating is, however, included in theprogramme durations for the Automaticprogrammes .
Heating-up phaseWhen using temperatures above 100 °Cwith the Fan plus, Moisture plus andConventional heat functions, you canchoose between "Rapid" and "Normal"for the heating-up phase. A rapidheating-up phase is pre-set asstandard.
The setting for the heating-up phase isspecified for recipes which recommendusing one of these three functions.Where "Heating-up phase: Rapid" isrecommended you should not changeit. Where "Heating-up phase: Normal" isrecommended, please proceed asdescribed in the Operating andinstallation instructions supplied withyour oven.

Moisture plus Depending on the recipe you canchoose between
– Automatic burst of steam– 1 burst of steam– 2 bursts of steam– 3 bursts of steam
There are two methods of releasing 1, 2and 3 bursts of steam
– Manual– Time controlled
Injecting bursts of steam manually
If you want to release the bursts ofsteam manually, you can set a minuteminder to remind you when to do so.
If you are using the Moisture plusprogramme and the recipe requires theoven to be pre-heated, you will need torelease the steam manually.
The time to release the 1st burst ofsteam will depend on:
– the start time for the programmewhen the oven is not pre-heated.
– when the food goes into the ovenwith a pre-heated oven.
The time quoted for the next burst ofsteam is always the duration since thelast burst of steam was released.
Time controlled bursts of steam
If you want Time controlled steamrelease, you will need to specify thetime at which each burst of steam isreleased before the cooking programmestarts.
Changing the type of heating
The Moisture plus programme uses theFan plus heating method with theaddition of moisture.

Tips on preparation
Types of flour
Different types of flour contain varyingamounts of whole grain.
The different types of flour arecategorised by how finely they havebeen ground and whether they containbaking powder or not.
– Plain flour and Self-raising flourPlain flour is a fine white flour whichis equally suitable for cooking andbaking. It consists primarily of starchand gluten. Self-raising is similar, buthas raising agents added. It is usedin recipes where the mixture needs torise during cooking to give lightresults.
– Strong white flour and Strongbrown flourThese flours are generally used forbaking bread and other items thatneed the addition of yeast as theraising agent.
– Wholemeal flourThis flour consists of almost all thewheat germ. For a lighter dough itcan be mixed 50:50 with strong whiteflour and is excellent for bakingbread.
– Mixed grain and wholegrain flourThis is a dark flour that containsalmost all the wheat germ. Againexcellent for baking bread.
– Strong wholemeal flourThis flour is made from the wholegrain and contains maximumgoodness. It can be ground finely orcoarsely and is particularly good forbread.
Raising agents
Raising agents are used to make thedough rise and help it keep light andairy after kneading or mixing.
YeastYeast is available either in dried form orfresh. It is particularly suitable for bakedgoods made with wheat flour. It needsto be mixed with a liquid (e.g. water),starch (e.g. flour) and sugar and thenneeds to be kept warm at atemperature between 35 °C and 50 °Cto help it rise.
Baking powderBaking powder is generally used as theraising agent in cake mixes. Togetherwith liquid and warmth, baking powderhelps cakes become light and airy.
SourdoughSourdough is available in liquid form ordry form. The typical strong butpleasantly sour taste comes fromconverting the glucose into lactic acidbacteria. Sourdough is used for heavydough such as those used forwholegrain and rye bread. It is easy tomake liquid sourdough by mixing 250 gof rye flour with approx. 200 ml oflukewarm water. Leave to stand for 48hours at room temperature and thenuse as directed in your recipe.
Dough and mixes
Yeast dough
– Yeast dough is particularly good forStreusel cakes, small pastries andpizza. Making it is easier than youmight think.

Baking
21
– Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm liquid.Then add to the flour and otheringredients and knead until you get asmooth dough. If dry yeast is used,add 2 extra tablespoons of liquid.
– Yeast dough can be left to prove inthe oven by selecting Conventionalheat and setting the temperature to35 °C or by using the appropriateAutomatic programme for provingdough.
– Cover the dough and leave it in theoven until doubled in size. Thenknead it briefly, and roll it out orknead in other ingredients such asraisins, citrus peel or almonds.
– Freshly baked items made with yeastdough freeze well and can be storedfor up to one month in the freezer.Frozen yeast baked items should bebaked using the Moisture plusprogramme with an automatic burstof steam.
Yeast dough Automatic programmeThis Automatic programme with theaddition of moisture can be used toprove dough.
Function: Automatic programmes Programme: Cakes \ Yeast dough \
– Prove for 15 minutes– Prove for 30 minutes– Prove for 45 minutes
Shelf level and amount of water: seedisplay
Quark dough
– Quark dough is a very elastic, softdough and is a good alternative toyeast dough.
– Because it is made using bakingpowder there is no need to prove thedough before using it.
Shortcrust pastry
– Shortcrust pastry is a firm dough,made mainly from flour and fat in aratio of 2:1 together with a littlewater.
– The dough should be rapidlykneaded. It you take too long it willget too warm, making it difficult towork with.
-
Baking
22
Creamed mixture
– Creamed mixtures are generally veryrich and are made with flour, fat,sugar and eggs. Creamed mixturescan be made very light by separatingthe eggs and folding in the beatenegg whites separately to the yolks.
– The baking powder used in creamedmixtures together with the air that isbeaten into them give a very lightresult.
– Creamed mixtures will flop if beatenfor too long.
Bread/rolls
– Bread and rolls should be light andhave a good crust. The raisingagents used to achieve this are yeastand sourdough.
– The taste of bread is affected by thechoice of ingredients and how theyare used. Freshly ground orwholemeal flour made using thewhole grain retains all its fibre,minerals and vitamins.
– Liquids should be lukewarm formaking dough (30–35 °C).
– Bread dough should be kneadeduntil it is glossy and then left to rise.It should double in size during thefirst proving phase. Subsequentproving phases can be shorterbecause the dough will rise quite abit during baking. Once baked, breadshould be of a consistency that is nottoo crumbly and that is easy to slice.
– When tray baking bread make surethat the surface is smooth withoutany creases or folds in it. If there areany, they should be on the undersideof the loaf.
-
Baking

– Grease loaf tins before use.– With Automatic programmes the
dough goes into the oven withoutbeing proved first. The proving phaseand the duration are part of theprogramme.
– You cannot use the normal skewertest to find out whether bread iscompletely cooked, as freshly bakedbread will continue to stick until ithas cooled right down. It is best totap the underside of the loaf. If itsounds hollow the bread is cookedand can be placed on a rack to cooldown.
– If you do not want to take bread outof the oven after baking it, select alower setting to prevent it gettingover cooked and too dark on thesurface.
Bread mixes
– Make up the dough according to thepacket instructions. Use the amountof liquid specified for oven baking.
– Bake all bread mixes in a greasedloaf tin (25 cm x 10 cm).
– Slash the top before placing the loafin the oven and brush it with a littlewater.
– With Automatic programmes thedough goes into the oven withoutbeing proved first. The proving phaseand the duration are part of theprogramme.
– If you do not want to take bread outof the oven after baking it, select alower setting to prevent it gettingover cooked and too dark on thesurface.
– There are numerous brands of breadmixes. The programmes have notbeen written for any particular one.For this reason results may vary withlevels of browning, how well thebread rises and its consistency oncebaked. If necessary, bake for slightlylonger, or select a different level ofbrowning the next time if results arenot to your liking.
