Here you will find a selection of suitable recipes:
The device in action - can be seen at:
Can I also use baking mixtures? 
Yes, all kinds of baking mixtures for bread can be used. It is best to always use half of the package (500 g), then you will get 2 breads out of 1 package. Always fill in the liquid and then the dry ingredients. Apart from that, stick to the instructions on the package of the baking mixture as well as to the tips in the instruction manual of the appliance.

Can I also bake small breads (400 g) with the BA 550?
Yes, baking small breads is also possible. For ready-made baking mixtures in particular (usually in a 1 kg package), please use only half (500 g) of the package for baking. Even smaller breads can be baked in the BA 550 - however there should be still enough dough in the pot that the dough can be kneaded reasonably. For baking very small quantities, please use the programme "Kurz" (short).

Isn't the appliance too small for yeast dough made from 500 g of flour, once the dough "rised" and thus has much more volume? 
Not at all, the BA 550 is not too small for this. The bread maker is designed to bake bread with a final weight of up to 900 g. This means that you can also bak+C3:E4+C3:E4e yeast doughs with a maximum quantity of flour of 500 g. For yeast  dough which is rising very high (e. g. Brioche) it may happen that the dough is rising up to just in front of the viewing window. Generally you can keep to the recipes in the instruction manual - these are conceived that the quantity can be properly processed and baked. Special types of dough and their characteristics are also discussed.

Will there be any problem if I did not put extra ingredients in the container, but forgot to turn if off? 
No, it doesn't matter. The ingredients container opens with a "click" and stays open downwards. However you can close it by hand if you do not want the heat to expand upwards later during baking.

Cleaning in the dishwasher? 
The inner container (baking pan and dough hook) is equipped with a very high quality non-stick coating. Therefore, cleaning in the dishwasher is not necessary (as it is very easy to clean by hand) and also not advisable. The salt used in the dishwasher attacks surfaces and will damage the non-stick coating. Tips for simple cleaning are described in the instruction manual.

Is it possible to enter an individual baking pogramme in the bread maker? 
Yes, you can enter your own baking program. The BA 550 has a total of 13 programmes. Programme No. 13 is an individual prgramme, for which the kneading, rising and baking times can be determined individually.

Which bread size should I use for a ready-made baking mix (500 g)? 
Please make the setting for the bread size according to the filling weight of the baking pan. Add all other ingredients (in this case "water") to the 500 g of baking mixture and you get a value for the bread size. So if you have to add 350 ml of water to the 500 g of baking mixture, this results in 850 g - a bread size of 900 g.

How do I bake a cake (60 minutes baking time)? If I select program 8 (baking), a baking time of only 10 minutes is displayed?
The programmess (6) KUCHEN (CAKE) and (8) BACKEN (BAKING) are particularly suitable for baking cakes. The programme BACKEN (BAKING) has a variable baking time of 10 - 60 minutes. Thus you an adapt the baking time according to your needs. If the display shows 10 minutes, when you switch on, use the keyboard to increase the value to the desired baking time. The programme CAKE (KUCHEN) has a fixed baking time of 80 minutes and a total time period (stirring, resting, baking) of 110 minutes. All programmes (including time period ad procedure) are also described in detail in the instruction manual on page 14.

Is the baking pan also suitable for sourdough ?
Yes, the baking pan is also designed for processing sourdough. In this respect, the coating is a very important issue.

The programs cannot be set. What can I do?
Please press the start/stop button until you hear a beep. Each program can now be set using the program button.

My bread collapses in the middle part and doesn't rise properly. What can I do?
Basically, the water should always been given into the baking pan first. Then the dry ingredients are put into the baking pan. The optimal water temperature for preparing bread is approx. 20 - 25 ° C. If lukewarm water is added, the rising process is triggered much too early. During the rising phase, the hot water dough gains volume. Then, before the end of baking, the bread collapses and the dough becomes firm and hard or forms a crater.
