INSIDER'S GUIDE TO EASY BAKING
(cont'd.)
Baking
Always set your Bread Machine on the proper baking setting as
specified in the recipe. If the bread bakes too dark, try a lighter
setting. If the bread continues to bake too dark the dough may be
too dry inhibiting the bread to rise properly. (Try adding one to two
tablespoons of additional water for better baking results.) Too much
sugar in a recipe may also cause bread to overbake. The same is
true with dried fruits. Try cutting down on the amount called for in
the recipe by 25 to 50%.
Do not use your Bread Machine if the room temperature is lower
than 65°F since the dough will not rise well and the loaves will be
short. If the ambient temperature is higher than 85 °F the dough can
over-rise and the bread can possibly collapse or wrinkle during
baking and the crumb texture will be coarse. The ideal temperature
for making bread is always 68° to 80° F.
THE FINISHED PRODUCT
For a crisp, crunch crust, always remove the bread from the
Bread Machine after the baking cycle. Remove from the pan and let
cool on a wire rack in a draft free location. For a softer crust,
immediately place the baked loaf of bread in an open plastic bag or
loosely wrap in foil.
The size of the baked loaf of bread will vary from loaf to loaf due
to ingredients and ambient condition. Nevertheless, the general rule
is that the bread size should be near the top of the pan to 1-inch
below.
