Although baking EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads is a little diff erent, the results
and convenience are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one to try for your fi rst EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting loaf.
Traditional White Bread 1–1/2 lb. loaf
Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tablespoons
9 ounces total) of hot water (115° – 125°)
2 tablespoons oil
(room temperature)
Instructions:
1 Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember,
it's a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured
exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total).
2 Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between
115° – 125° F. When water is at the proper temperature, pour into the bread pan.
3 Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature.
4 Carefully measure and add the salt and sugar to the bread pan.
5 Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread fl our to the bread pan. Remember to make sure
not to "overpack" the fl our into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fi ll the
measuring cup to overfl owing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to
remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula.
6 Before adding the yeast, use your fi nger to form a well (hole) in the fl our where you will
pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding
ingredients. Measure (again, leveling off ) 5 teaspoons of a fast-rising yeast and carefully
pour it into the well you made in the fl our.
7 Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
8 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 "3:25" hours.
9 Repeatedly press the "Menu Select" button to select the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker
(1.5LB) setting.
10 Press the "Start/Stop" button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear
the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.
Note: It is important that you DO NOT press the "Start/Stop" button while the breadmaker
is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again,
from scratch.
Note: DO NOT raise the lid when using the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting.
Doing so can aff ect the rising of the dough.
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Bread Machine fl our
5 teaspoons fast-rising yeast
