6. Making Bread: A Step-by-Step Guide
Making a basic loaf of bread is simple with your EUHOMY Bread Maker:
- Add Ingredients: Place all liquid ingredients (water, oil) into the bread pan first. Then add dry ingredients (salt, sugar, dry milk, flour). Finally, add the yeast on top of the dry ingredients, ensuring it does not come into direct contact with the liquids initially. Refer to your recipe book for precise measurements and order.

- Choose Loaf Size & Crust: Press the LOAF button to select the desired loaf size (e.g., 1.5LB). Press the COLOR button to choose your preferred crust color (e.g., Medium).
- Start Baking: Press the START/STOP button to begin the baking cycle. The machine will automatically mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread.
- Cool & Serve: Once the cycle is complete and the machine beeps, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack to release the bread. Allow the bread to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing for best results.

9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bread maker, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bread does not rise or rises too much. | Incorrect yeast amount, expired yeast, or incorrect water temperature. | Ensure yeast is fresh and active. Use recommended water temperature (68-77°F for regular, 113-122°F for Ultra Fast). Adjust yeast quantity as per recipe. |
| Bread is too dense or heavy. | Too much flour, too little liquid, or incorrect program selected. | Measure ingredients precisely (weighing is recommended). Ensure correct liquid-to-flour ratio. Select appropriate program for your recipe. |
| Kneading paddle stuck in bread. | Common occurrence. | Use the provided hook tool to carefully remove the kneading paddle after the bread has cooled. |
