Rapid Cycle

G
Your bread maker has an extra fast bread cycle, which will knead, prove and cook a
delicious loaf of bread in just 1 hour. To help ensure the best possible results follow the
guidelines given below.
G
Use lukewarm liquid to help speed up the rising process (32-35°C/90-95°F is
optimum). Cold water will result in a shorter loaf, if hot water is used, it will kill the
yeast. For best results measure the water temperature with either a thermometer or
mix 70mls boiling water with 230mls of cold water.
G
Bread recipes should contain at least 65% white bread flour on this cycle. 100%
wholemeal or other whole grain breads will produce poor results as there is insufficient
time for the dough to rise.
G
The salt level is reduced for breads made using this cycle as salt retards yeast activity.
However do not eliminate it completely as it is important for the taste and texture of the
bread. Use 3 ⁄ - 5 ml (

The yeast levels are higher on this cycle to help ensure a rapid rise. Use 12.5 - 15ml
(2 1 ⁄ - 3 tsp) of easy blend fast action dried yeast.

G
If you want to make several loaves in succession on this rapid cycle, leave the lid open
and the machine switched off for 30 minutes between loaves. This will allow the
temperature sensor within the machine to work accurately, which is critical on a short
bread cycle.

Breads made using this cycle will not rise as high as loaves made on other settings,
they will have a softer crust and be a little denser, which is normal.
