    Getting Started Place the breadmaker on a counter where the plug will reach an outlet. DO NOT yet plug the machine into the wall outlet. You will be shown later when to do this. Make sure you can open the breadmaker top without hitting the top of kitchen cabinets.

  • Page 7: Measuring

    Measuring THE most important secret of making bread. Exact measurements. That’s the key to successfully baking bread. Exact measurements. With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the cups/ ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact.
  • Page 8 Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. Last, it’s a good idea to start with all new, fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast). Now, let’s try a simple (but really good) recipe.

  • Page 9: Traditional White Bread

    Traditional White Bread 2 lb. loaf 1 + 1/3 cups water 2 teaspoons salt 4 teaspoons softened 2 teaspoons active dry butter or margarine yeast 4 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons sugar 4 teaspoons dry milk Carefully measure 1 and 1/3 cups water.
  • Page 10 This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe. Next come the dry ingredients. Measure 4 cups of bread flour. Make sure not to “overpack” the flour into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fill the measuring cup to overflowing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets.
  • Page 11 Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker. Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will turn on. The time setting will say “3:00”...

  • Page 25: Chapter 5: Using The Delay Timer

    Using the Delay Timer You can delay the time your breadmaker starts to have fresh bread ready when you get up in the morning or when you come from work. We recommend that before you use the Delay Timer, you try out a few recipes.
  • Page 26 To use the Delay Timer: Figure out how many hours and minutes there are between now and when you want final, baked bread. For example, if it is 8:00 AM and you want bread ready for dinner at 6:00 PM, that is 10 hours. Use the “Timer Up”...

  • Page 27: Tips And Hints

    Tips and Hints Experienced cooks consider breadmaking to be as much of an art as a science. Keep in mind that some recipes may require a little experimentation before they are exactly the way you want them. Just don’t give up. Still, there are special hints to ensuring quality bread almost every time.
  • Page 28 depending on the area of the country in which you live. We recommend using fresh bread flour. • Yeast. Fresh yeast is probably the most important ingredient in baking bread. If the yeast is not fresh, your bread may not rise. It is better to buy new yeast than to take a chance on yeast that has been stored for a long time.
  • Page 29 If the doughball is too wet During the second kneading cycle, check the consistency of the doughball. If the doughball appears sticky or wet, like pancake batter, sprinkle in flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round, and dry and circles nicely in the pan.
  • Page 30 If the bread rises too high • reduce the amount of yeast. For each teaspoon of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon. • reduce the amount of sugar. For each tablespoon of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 teaspoons.
