EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker Setting:
Making Bread In Under 1 Hour
Your OSTER® breadmaker can bake great bread in under 1 hour.
This is called the "EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker" setting. EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting
loaves are a little different from loaves baked on non-EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings.
Make sure to try the different settings to see which of them you prefer.
There are a few things you should know about the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings that
are different than the other settings.
• E XPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads tend to have a darker, thicker crust than other
kinds of bread. Sometimes there will be a crack in the top of the crust. This is because
baking is done at higher temperatures. They also tend to be shorter, denser loaves.
• Y ou CANNOT use the Delay Timer for the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings. This would
cool the liquid ingredients and affect the way that the bread rises.
• Y ou CANNOT use the "Crust Color" buttons for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads.
• D O NOT open the cover while making EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads.
•
If the loaf is hard to remove from the pan let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Gently
shake the bread out of the pan and wait for 15 minutes before slicing.
• I f you wish to bake another Loaf of bread, you must let the bread maker cool for
20 minutes with the cover open.
• Y OU CAN use standard bread mixes for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads, but the
results may not be as good as the results when using the recipes within this book
EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker Setting Tips and Hints
Yeast
Always use a fast rising yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker
settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.

Liquids

Always use hot water in the range of 115°–125° F. You must use a cooking thermometer to
gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.
Salt
As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads. Less salt
provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow your Oster® Breadmaker recipe
suggestions for best results.
Other Ingredients
Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room
temperature. Always use bread flour for the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings.

Although baking EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads is a little different, the results
and convenience are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one to try for your first 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 flour to the bread pan. Remember to 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. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula.
6 Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour 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 flour.
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 affect the rising of the dough.
