Tips For Making Dough - Toastmaster User Manual Bread Box Recipe Book

Real Dough ... the easy way
The DOUGH setting allows you to make a variety of doughs. The machine does the mixing
and kneading: you do the shaping and baking.
Be sure to allow time for the dough to "rest" and "rise," as indicated. And remember the key
guide words, "light" and "little" . . . use a light touch when rolling and shaping the dough and
handle the dough as little as possible.

TIPS FOR MAKING DOUGH

• Remove DOUGH as soon as the cycle is complete and continue with instructions.
• Lightly floured surface refers to about 1 to 2 tablespoons flour being spread onto a cutting
board or countertop
• Let the dough double in size when directed to in a recipe. If it does not double in size, the
resulting product may not be tender. Dough is ready when an indentation remains when the
dough is touched.
• An empty oven with warm water placed in a bowl at the bottom makes a great place for
proofing dough. Remember to remove dough before preheating the oven.
• If the dough you are rolling "shrinks back," let it rest covered for a few minutes and roll
again.
• The Delayed finish feature should NOT be used with dough recipes that contain eggs, milk
or other foods that could spoil if left at room temperature.
• For best results, remove dough promptly when the setting is complete. Follow directions for
shaping and baking. If you allow the dough to remain in the unit after the cycle is complete,
it may overrise and damage the machine.
