Loading the Ingredients into the Bread Machine

One of the big deals in making bread in the bread machine is how the ingredients are loaded into the bread pan. Most of the models call for the wet ingredients to go into the machine first, followed by the dry ingredients. But a few differ in the order that the ingredients are layered into the bread pan. This chart is for easy reference. This book is written with directions for wet, then dry ingredients to be layered into the pan, since this is the prevalent manner of adding the ingredients. If your machine differs, just switch the order around to fit the pattern outlined in your manufacturer’s booklet. As a note, if you are making the dough immediately, it really doesn’t matter in what order the ingredients are placed in the pan. This pattern becomes important when you are using the Delay Timer, so that the yeast does not become activated before the dough is being made.
