Program Cycles

Tips:

• Use a rubber spatula to scrape sides of pan while Bread Maker is mixing to ensure all ingredients are blended.

• Remove Bread Pan from Bread Maker when cycle is complete. Let Bread Pan cool for 5 to 10 minutes on a wire cooling rack before removing bread and let quick bread or cake cool 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack.

• Basic Bread (Cycle 1)
  For white and mixed breads consisting mainly of basic bread flour.

• French Bread (Cycle2 )
  For light breads made from fine flour. Normally, bread is fluffy and has a crispy crust. This is not a suitable setting for recipes requiring butter, margarine, or milk.

• Whole Grain Bread (Cycle 3)
  For breads with heavy varieties of flour that require a longer phase of kneading and rising (whole wheat flour, rye flour). Bread will be more compact and heavy.

• Sour Dough Bread (Cycle 4)
  For tangy, rich breads made with a cultured mixture of flour and water to make a sourdough starter.

• Sweet Bread (Cycle 5)
  For breads with yeast, and additives such as fruit juices, grated coconut, raisins, dried fruits, chocolate, or added sugar. Due to a longer phase of rising, bread will be light and airy.

• Quick Bread (Cycle 6)
  For packaged quick breads or quick-bread recipes that do not use yeast for rising and instead may use baking powder or soda. Kneading, rising, and baking in less time than yeast bread.
  Tip: Spray Pan with nonstick cooking spray before adding ingredients for easy removal of baked Quick Bread.

• Gluten Free Bread (Cycle 7)
  For gluten-free breads and mixes. This Cycle is not recommended for use with the Delay Start function.

• Keto Bread (Cycle 8)
  For making low-carb breads made with alternate flour and starches for ketogenic diets.

• 1.0 lb. Express (Cycle9 )
  Kneading, rising, and baking occurs in 1 hour and 22 minutes. Bread will be heavier and not as high as bread in other cycles.

• 1.5 lb. Express (Cycle10 )
  Same as 1.0 lb. Express and takes 1 hour and 32 minutes.

• 2.0 lb. Express (Cycle 11)
  Same as 1.5 lb. Express and takes 1 hour and 48 minutes.

• Pizza Dough (Cycle 12)
  For preparing pizza dough for your favorite pizza recipe.

• Artisan Dough (Cycle 13)
  This cycle is for making artisan dough with a sponge starter (see recipe on page 24, ”How to convert a bread recipe to use a sponge starter“). Then dough will be shaped and baked in an oven. Ingredients should be cool since this cycle provides a long cool rise to develop flavors and textures of dough.

• Dough (Cycle 14)
  This cycle prepares yeast dough for buns, pastries, etc., to be baked in a conventional oven. There is no baking in this cycle. Rise is 60 minutes and kneading time can be set from 10 to 30 minutes. Default 30 minutes for first kneading.

• Rise (Cycle 15)
  Use for rising doughs following recipe directions or speed method directions on packages of frozen bread dough. Rising time can be set for 0 to 6 hours.

• Bake (Cycle 16)
  After using Rise cycle, bread can be baked with this cycle or use when additional baking of breads is needed because a loaf is too light or not baked through. There is no kneading or resting. Bake time can be adjusted between 1 to 60 minutes.

• Cake (Cycle 17)
  Kneading, rising, and baking occurs, but with aid of baking soda or baking powder. If cake tester inserted in cake center does not come out clean, when bake time is complete, select Bake cycle and set time to achieve doneness.

• Jam (Cycle 18)
  For making jams with fresh fruit.

• Yogurt (Cycle 19)
  For making up to 1 quart homemade yogurt.

• Roast Nut (Cycle 20)
  For roasting nuts or making a roasted nuts recipe.

Tips: Bread Basics

Ingredients

Two things can ensure a perfect loaf of bread: using fresh, quality ingredients and measuring them accurately.

Flour

• All-Purpose Flour
  Flour that contains hard and soft wheats suitable for general baking. Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads.

• All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend
  Is used in a gluten free recipe. 1:1 replacement gluten free flour is substituted in equal amounts for all-purpose flour in classic recipes that aren’t developed to be gluten free. This flour does not work well with yeast bread recipes.

• Bread Flour
  Bread flour is the most important ingredient in making bread and is recommended in most yeast-bread recipes. It has a high gluten content and can keep size of bread from collapsing after rising. Flour varies by region. For example, American flour is milled from hard spring wheat; Canadian flour is milled from hard winter wheat.

• Self-Rising Flour
  Flour that contains baking powder, used especially for making cakes. Do not use self-rising flour in combination with yeast.

• Whole-Wheat Flour
  Whole-wheat flour is ground from the entire wheat kernel. Bread made with all or part whole-wheat flour will have higher fiber and nutritional content. Whole-wheat flour is heavier and, as a result, loaves may be smaller in size and have a heavier texture.

Tips: To check whether yeast is fresh and active:

• Pour 1 cup (240 g) hot tap water into Measuring Cup.
• Add 1 teaspoon (5 g) white sugar and 1 tablespoon (11 g) yeast.
• Place Measuring Cup in a warm place for about 5 minutes.
• Fresh, active yeast will begin to bubble or “grow.” If it does not, yeast is dead or inactive.

Other Ingredients

• Egg
  • Eggs can improve bread texture and make bread larger in size. Egg must be whisked in with other liquid ingredients.
• Salt
  • Salt is necessary to improve bread flavor and crust color. It is also used to restrain yeast activity.
• Butter, Shortening, and Vegetable Oil
  • Butter or shortening should be cut into small pieces before adding to liquid; or butter should be melted as indicated in recipes.
• Sugar
  • Sugar is “food” for yeast and also increases sweet taste and color of bread. It is a very important element of making bread rise. White sugar is normally used; however, brown sugar, powdered sugar, or cotton sugar may also be called for in some recipes.
• Water and Other Liquids (always added first)
  • Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. See recipe recommendations for liquid temperatures. Some recipes may call for milk or other liquids. Never use dairy with Delay Timer option.
• Yeast
  • Yeast is a living organism and should be kept in the refrigerator to remain fresh. It needs carbohydrates found in sugar and flour as nourishment.
  • Yeast used in Bread Maker recipes will be sold under several different names: Bread machine yeast (preferred), instant yeast, and rapid rise yeast. Most recipes state bread machine yeast.
  • Before using, check the expiration date of the yeast. Return to refrigerator immediately after each use.

ips: Use Exact Measurements

One of the most important steps in making good bread is the proper measurement of ingredients. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to your Bread Pan in order given in the recipe.

Adding Sequence

• Always add ingredients in order given in the recipe.
  • FIRST: Liquid ingredients
  • SECOND: Dry ingredients
  • LAST: Yeast
• Yeast should only be placed on dry flour and never come in contact with liquid or salt.
• When you use Delay Timer function, never add perishable ingredients such as eggs or milk.
• Liquid Ingredients
  • Water, fresh milk, or other liquids should be measured with a glass measuring cup with clear markings and a spout. Set cup on counter and lower yourself to check liquid level. When measuring cooking oil or other ingredients, clean measuring cup thoroughly in between.

Liquid Measurement Conversion Chart

Dry Measurements

Measure dry ingredients by gently spooning flour, etc., into Measuring Cup and then, once filled, leveling off with a knife. Never use Measuring Cup to scoop your dry ingredients directly from a container since this could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not tap bottom of Measuring Cup or pack down.

HINT: Before measuring, stir flour to aerate it.

When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, such as salt or sugar, use a measuring spoon, making sure it is leveled off.

Weighing dry ingredients with a digital scale will provide better baking results.

Dry Measurement Weight Equivalents

Troubleshooting

Odor or burning smell.

• Flour or other ingredients have spilled into Baking Chamber. Stop
• Bread Maker and allow to cool completely. Wipe excess flour, etc., from Baking Chamber with a paper towel.
• Tip: Measure ingredients over counter, adding them to Bread Pan prior to insertion into machine.

Ingredients not blending; can hear motor turning.

• Bread Pan or Kneading Paddle may not be installed properly. Make sure Kneading Paddle is securely installed on Shaft.
• Too many ingredients. Measure ingredients accurately.

Window is cloudy or covered with condensation.

• May occur during mixing or rising cycles. Condensation usually disappears during baking cycle. Clean Window well in between uses.

Kneading Paddle comes out with bread.

• Thicker crust with dark crust setting. Choose a lighter crust (Cycles 1, 2, 4, or 9 only).
• It is not uncommon for Kneading Paddle to come out with bread loaf.
• Once loaf cools, remove Paddle with Paddle Hook.

Bread rises too high or pushes Lid up.

• Ingredients not measured properly (too much yeast, flour). Measure all ingredients accurately and make sure sugar and salt have been added.
• Kneading Paddle not in Bread Pan. Check installation of Kneading Paddle.
• Forgot to add salt.
• Try decreasing yeast by 1/4 teaspoon (1 g).

Dough is not blending thoroughly; flour and other ingredients are built up on sides of pan; bread loaf is coated with flour.

• Bread Pan or Kneading Paddle may not be installed properly. Make sure Bread Pan is securely set in unit and Kneading Paddle is firmly on Shaft.
• Too many dry ingredients. Make sure ingredients are measured accurately and added in proper order. Use a rubber spatula to scrape sides of pan while Bread Maker is mixing to ensure all ingredients are blended.
• Gluten-free dough is typically very wet. It may need additional help by scraping sides with a rubber spatula.
• Excess flour can be removed from loaf once baked and cooled. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough has formed into a ball.

Bread does not rise; loaf is short.

• Inaccurate measurement of ingredients or inactive yeast. Measure all ingredients accurately. Check expiration date of yeast and flour.
• Lifting Lid during cycles.

LLL on Control Panel.

• Bread Maker is too cold. Allow Bread Maker to come to room temperature.
