After the sound signals, the dough must be
baked within one hour. After that time, the
machine resets itself and you will not be
able to bake the baguettes. If this happens,
we recommend that you use programme 3
for baking the baguettes alone.
2. Making and baking baguettes
To help you through the stages, refer to the
recipe book supplied.
We are showing you what the baker does,
but after a few trials, you will have find
own way of shaping the baguettes. No mat-
ter how you go about it, the result is gua-
ranteed.

•You will have 4 dough portions of equal
weight, which you must shape into ba-
guettes.
To make your baguettes lighter and more
airy, allow the dough portions to rest for 10
minutes before shaping them.
The length of the baguette must not be lon-
ger than the length of the non-stick baking
tray (about 15 cm).
You can vary the flavour of your breads by
garnishing them. To do so, just dampen the
dough with water and roll them in sesame
or poppy seeds.
