- Fit the blade (m3) onto the short axis, the cutting sides facing outward.

- Place the desired screen (m4) on the blade (m3) aligning the locking pins and the notches.

- Screw the nut (m5) clockwise onto the body (m1), all the way but without locking it.

- Check the assembly. The axis should not leave any play or rotate around itself.

If this happens, dismantle and repeat the previous instructions.

A clever trick: when finished, you can run a few small pieces of bread to push out the remaining mince to make cleaning easier.

CLEANING THE MINCER HEAD

- Before cleaning, always unplug your appliance.

- Unlock the mincer head (ma) or (mb), tilting it toward the right to remove the gear block assembly (l).

- To remove the mincer head, take the tray (m6) off the feed tube, unscrew the nut (m5), remove the screen (m4), the blade (m3) and the screw (m2).

- Handle the cutting implements with care as they are sharp.

500g white bread making flour– 300ml warm water – 2 packets dried yeast – 10g or 1 tsp salt

Put the flour, salt and baker’s yeast in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade.

Run at speed 2, and a few seconds later start pouring in the warm water through the feed tube in the lid. When the dough forms a ball (approximately 40 seconds), stop the food processor. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume. Then, work the dough to shape it into a ball and place it on your greased, floured baking sheet. Leave it to rise again. Preheat your oven at Th.8/240°C (UK gas mark 9). Once the dough has doubled in volume, put it in the oven and lower the temperature to Th.6/180° (UK gas mark 4). Bake for about 30 min. Put a bowl of water in the over while baking to help the crust to form.

Method using UK dried yeast.

Use strong bread flour. Substitute the bakers yeast with 2 teaspoons of Easy Bake or Fast Action dried yeast and add to the bowl with the flour, before adding the warm water. After processing, just shape the dough into a ball and then leave to rise for about 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size. Shape and cook as directed above.

Pizza dough

150g white bread making flour– 90ml warm water – 2 tablespoons olive oil –

1/2 packet dried yeast – salt

Put the flour, salt and baker’s yeast in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade.

Run at speed 2, and a few seconds later start pouring in the warm water and olive oil through the feed tube in the lid. When the dough forms a ball (15 to 20 seconds), stop the food processor. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume. Preheat your oven at Th.8/240°C (UK gas mark 9). Roll out the dough to a 28cm circle and add the toppings of your choice: tomato pizza sauce and onions, mushrooms, ham, mozzarella, etc. Add a few anchovies and black olives to your pizza, sprinkle on a bit of oregano and grated gruyere cheese, then drizzle a few drops of olive oil all around. Place the prepared pizza on your greased, floured baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 min, keeping an eye on it as it bakes.

Put the flour, salt and butter in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the metal blade.
