Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use pre-made baking mixtures?
Yes, the BA 550 works with all kinds of baking mixtures. Use half the package (500g) for two loaves. Always follow the package instructions and refer to the appliance’s manual for best results.
- Can I bake smaller loaves (400g)?
Yes, smaller loaves can be baked. For 500g baking mixes, use half the package and the "Kurz" (short) program for smaller quantities.
- Is the appliance too small for yeast dough made with 500g of flour?
Not at all! The BA 550 can handle doughs with up to 500g of flour. For recipes with high-rising doughs like brioche, the dough may reach the viewing window, but the machine is designed to handle it.
- What if I forget to turn off the ingredients container?
No problem! The container automatically opens with a click. You can manually close it if needed, but it won’t affect the baking process.
- Can I clean the baking pan in the dishwasher?
While the pan has a high-quality non-stick coating, it's recommended to clean it by hand to preserve its durability. Dishwasher detergents can damage the coating over time.
- Is it possible to create a custom baking program?
Yes, the BA 550 allows you to create a personalized program. You can control the kneading, rising, and baking times for your unique recipe.
- How do I choose the bread size when using a baking mix?
Use the total ingredient weight (including water) to select the bread size. For example, if your 500g baking mix requires 350ml of water, choose the 900g loaf size.
- How do I bake a cake with a 60-minute baking time?
The Baking Program (BACKEN) allows you to adjust the baking time from 10 to 60 minutes. Use the CAKE program for a fixed 80-minute baking time with stirring and resting.
- Can I bake with sourdough?
Yes, the pan is suitable for sourdough baking, and the non-stick coating makes handling dough easy.
- Why does my bread collapse in the middle?
Ensure you add water first, followed by dry ingredients, and use water at a temperature of around 20-25°C to prevent premature rising.
