Bread Mixes and Other Recipe Books

You can use prepackaged bread mixes or other Breadmaker
recipes in your Breadmaker. Follow package or recipe direc-
tions for making 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 LB. loaves. Do not exceed the
bread pan capacity.

Checking Dough Consistency

Although the Breadmaker will mix, knead, and bake bread, it
is absolutely essential that you learn to recognize the condition
of your dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most critical
factor in any bread recipe. After 5 to 8 minutes in the Knead
stage, open the Breadmaker to check the dough's consistency.
The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like scotch
tape). If it is too dry, add liquid ½ to 1 teaspoon at a time. If it
is too wet, add ½ - 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the
dough has the right consistency.
