In the last few years it has become very fashionable and relevant to have a bakery at home and to enjoy freshly baked bread without any effort.

However, if you have just acquired it, we will need some important tips and guidelines, such as for beginners in making homemade bread in this appliance. Here they are:

1. Measures and weights: Here the advice is to get an electronic scale, which will be of great help to us in strict compliance with the measures of the recipes. In order to get the desired result, we must not change the recipes written in the books in any way. So set aside part of the budget for this acquisition, so as not to be disappointed with the first prepared bread.

2. Water: The water should be warm, but not more than 40 degrees. Care must be taken, because if it is too hot we risk the yeast dissolving too much and killing it, figuratively speaking. We should never add more water or other liquids than exactly written in the recipe.

3. Yeast: Here most people ask which yeast is better to use - dry or live? It is recommended to use live yeast. Live yeast should be mixed with a little warm water and sugar, because in this way we revive it and ensure a great puffed bread at the end. It is good to stock up on dry, it is quite durable and will always save the day.

4. Flour: It is important that the flour is of high quality. If you are a fan of black bread, it is good to know that it does not rise as well as white bread. Here the advice is to mix the two types of flour. It is also good to always sift the flour before adding it, so it is enriched with oxygen and the bread will get fluffier.

5. Correct sequence: the order of placing the necessary products in the container of the bakery is extremely important. The basic rule here is that liquid products are added first and then dry ones.

Once the bread is baked we should not leave it in the cistern, take it out and so it will have a nice and crispy crust.

For a more interesting taste you can add different seeds and nuts, dried tomatoes, olives, etc. There are a variety of recipes. However, these additives must be well dried before placing them so that they do not wet the flour and prevent it from swelling properly.

We do not have to worry about experimenting, in addition to good taste at the table, this convenient appliance will bring us pleasure to the menu for the whole family.
