Natural Sourdough
Sourdough bread is a bread with a unique flavour, made from a starter. The sourdough
starter takes some preparation so the bread making needs to be planned for in advance.
There are varying methods of making a sourdough starter, but the following is simple
and effective, using ingredients you will already have for breadmaking.
Strong Bread Flour
450g
Yeast
2 small spoons
Water, lukewarm
300ml
1.
Mix the flour and yeast together in a large bowl. Making a well in the middle of
the flour mix, add the water, gradually blending together to make a thick batter.
2.
Cover the mix with a cloth and leave for 3-5 days. The starter should rise in the
bowl and bubble. This shows the starter is active.
3.
Once the starter is bubbling, discard half of the mix and add 225g flour and
150ml water. Mix until combined then cover the starter for another 2 days. This
step is called 'feeding'.
4.
The starter needs to be fed every 2 days, and whenever you take some of the
starter to make bread.
5.
If you are using the starter every 2-3 days for making bread the starter can stay
covered in the kitchen. If the starter is not required for bread making very often,
put it in an airtight jar in the fridge. Before using the starter after it has been in
the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature, stir it, then feed it to ensure
there is plenty of activity before using it for bread making.

Care and cleaning
Disconnect the machine from the power outlet and let it cool down before cleaning.
Bread pan: Remove the bread pan by turning it anti-clockwise; pull the handle to
remove it. Wipe the inside and the outside of the pan with a damp cloth. Do not use
any sharp or abrasive agents as this could damage the non-stick coating. The pan must
be dried completely before installing.
Kneading blade: If the kneading blade is difficult to remove from the bread, use the
hook. Also wipe the blade carefully with a damp cloth preferably made of cotton. Both
the bread pan and kneading blade are dishwasher safe components.
Removable ingredient box: After each use, clean the ingredient box with a damp
cloth, then use a dry cloth to wipe it again.
Housing: Gently wipe the outer surface of the housing with a wet cloth. Do not use
any abrasive cleaner for cleaning as this will degrade the polish of the surface. Never
immerse the housing into water for cleaning.
Before the bread maker is packed for storage, ensure that it has cooled down, been
cleaned and is completely dry with the lid closed.
Ensure you:
Periodically check the appliance parts before reassembling them.
Store the bread maker in a dry, clean place.
Do not wrap the cable around the appliance when storing it.
Clean all jams and marmalades whilst they are still warm, once set they become
harder to remove.
Do not use any sharp objects or metal tools on the bread pan as it will scratch
the non-stick coating.
Do not clean the bread pan with steel wool or abrasive materials.
