Firstly before buying this MAP as another matter, we must know that we are not his bread machine as is done by hand. Be clear in measurements. By cons, it does not follow the recipe instructions in the instruction manual provided, and revenue of the booklet made by a chef seem to me a little too complex, requiring more ingredients. For baker's yeast granules, at first I thought you had to make up in a little water, this is what is recommended in the booklet, but the dough did not rise much. After the 3rd bread, I put the yeast as it and it worked better. I am the recipe provided on brand flour packet F is nickel. Here are the steps to obtain 750gr bread baking program 3 golden max: 325ml water, 1.5 CCsel, 500g flour, 1 sachet of yeast. For cons, I have not tried to do for 1 kg, I have a doubt that the tank can contain the dough, I would have bothered to have to clean the machine if it overflows. Moreover, it is advisable to use a type of flour 55..je have not found in my supermarket, normal flour is 45, we do with what we have, it works pretty bien.La Recommended yeast is the active dry yeast is the yeast for MAP to buy.
