When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk, honey, molasses), the measuring spoon which is provided must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaped, as this small difference could throw out the critical balance of the recipe. DO NOT USE NORMAL KITCHEN TEASPOONS OR TABLESPOONS. Measuring ingredients The key and most important step when using your breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely and accurately.
