My bread does not rise
The top of my bread is uneven
[All bread]
 The quality of the gluten in your flour is poor, or you have not used strong flour. (Gluten quality
can vary depending on temperature, humidity, how the flour is stored, and the season of
harvest)
 Try another type, brand or another batch of flour.
 The dough has become too firm because you haven’t used enough liquid.
 Stronger flour with higher protein content absorbs more water than others, so try adding an
extra 10-20 mL of water.
 You are not using the right type of yeast.
 Use a dry yeast from a sachet, which has ‘instant yeast’ written on it.
This type does not require pre-fermentation.
 You are not using enough yeast, or your yeast is old.
 Use the measuring spoon provided. Check the yeast’s expiry date. (Keep in fridge)
 The yeast has touched the liquid before kneading.
 Check that you have put in the ingredients in the correct order according to the instructions.
(P. 14)
 You have used too much salt, or not enough sugar.
 Check the recipe and measure out the correct amounts using the measuring spoon provided.
 Check that salt and sugar is not included in other ingredients.
[Speciality bread]
 Einkorn wheat was used when baking speciality bread and/or a lot of flour other than spelt flour
were used.
 The spelt flour should be up to 60% of the entire flour when you use more than two kinds of
flour other than spelt. The rye and the rice flour should be up to 40% of the entire flour and
buckwheat flour should be up to 20% of the entire flour.

 You have used too much yeast.

the loaf again, though this might give poor results if kneading had already begun.
Troubleshooting
Before calling for service, please check through this section.
To protect the non-stick finish
Bread pan and kneading blade are coated with a non-stick finish to avoid stains and to make it easier when
removing bread.
To avoid damaging it, please follow the instructions below.
• Do not use hard utensils such as a knife or a fork when removing the bread from the bread pan.
When you have hard time taking out the bread from the bread pan, see P. 35.
• Ensure that the kneading blade is not embedded in the bread loaf before slicing it.
If it is embedded, wait for the loaf to cool and remove it.
(Do not use hard or sharp utensils such as a knife or a fork.)
Be careful not to get burns as the kneading blade may still be hot.
• Use the soft sponge when cleaning the bread pan and the kneading blade.
Do not use anything abrasive such as cleansers or scouring pads.
 Hard, coarse or large ingredients such as flours with whole or ground grains, sugar, or the addition of nuts and seeds may damage
the non-stick finish of the bread pan. If using large chunk of ingridient, break into small pieces. Please make sure to follow the recipe
quantities stated.
