How to make bread
1. Place the pan in position and turn it clockwise until it clicks in correct position. Insert
the kneading blade onto the drive shaft. It is recommended to fill holes with
heat-resisting margarine prior to placing the kneaders, this avoids the dough to stick
below the kneaders and the kneaders could be removed from bread easily.
2. Place ingredients into the bread pan.
Usually the water or liquid substance should be put firstly, then add sugar, salt and flour,
always add yeast or baking powder as the last ingredient.

Note: the maximum quantity of flour and yeast is 560g and 2 teaspoons.
3. With finger make a small indentation on one side of the flour. Add yeast to indentation,
