bread making

[hartigan5]

i have a bread making machine i have to put tepid water in how do i tell if it is tepid

[Ethel]

You put your finger in. If it doesn't feel hot, nor cold, it is tepid

[jenniprice]

Yeh whenever I make it I just use water out of tap, which is usually tepid, unless it has been freezing at night!

I wouldn't worry to much about it, I think they just want to make sure it isn't freezing cold, or boiling hot

[puddicat]

just call it warm water???

I think tepid is slightly cooler than warm water. If it is too warm it can kill the yeast.
