Flour and butter Pastry dough
Bread dough
Use instant active dry yeast and include with the
dry ingredients in the processing bowl. Do not
process a mixture with more than 3 cups/450g
flour. Add softened, cubed butter and process using
the ON button until the butter is absorbed into the
flour. If using oil, with the motor running, add the
oil through the food chute and process until the
mixture forms a soft, elastic ball of dough. Do not
over process.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and
knead for 20 minutes or until soft and pliable.
Place dough into large, greased mixing bowl and
stand covered in a warm place until doubled in size.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and
knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the
dough, allow to rise in a warm area then bake in a
hot oven.
Biscuit dough
Place softened butter and sugar into the processing
bowl. Process using the ON button until lightly
creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at
a time down the food chute, mixing well after each
addition. Place dry ingredients into the processing
bowl and use the PULSE button until ingredients
are just combined. Add dried fruit, nuts, etc. through
the food chute and use the Pulse button until the
additions are folded through evenly.
Melt ‘n’ mix biscuits
Place melted ingredients, followed by liquid
ingredients then dry ingredients into the processing
bowl. Process ingredients using the PULSE button
until just combined. If necessary, interrupt the
processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture
from the sides of the bowl. Replace the lid and
continue but do not overprocess the mixture.
Add dried fruit, nuts etc. after this step using PULSE
button until folded through evenly.
PUREEING WITH THE QUAD
®
PROCESSING BLADE
The Quad
®
processing blade purees raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, including
baby food. For many large processing tasks, the
four blades will cut the processing time needed to
achieve the desired results. Always remember to
place the Quad
®
processing blade into the bowl
before adding the food.
Note
After pureeing the food, carefully remove
the Quad
®
processing blade and use the
spatula to scrape any food adhering to the
blade and the processing bowl.
Cooked vegetables
Peel and cut vegetables into 2.5cm cubes. Ensure
vegetables are well cooked and softened before
processing. Process no more than 2 cups at a time
using the ON button until food is pureed to desired
consistency.
Note
After processing vegetables, add stock through
the food chute, if necessary, to make a smoother
puree.
