HELPFUL HINTS FOR USING YOUR BREADMAKER

1. Follow the directions: The liquid is always the first ingredient to be placed
in bread pan. Dry ingredients follow and the yeast is added last. Make a
small indentation in the center of the flour and place the yeast there. This is
especially important when using the delay-bake function to avoid activating
the yeast too soon.
2. Measure carefully: Use the appropriate measuring tools and measure carefully.
The measuring cup included should be used for dry measurement only.
Spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cup and level off with the straight
edge of a metal spatula or the back of a knife. Measure liquids in a glass or
plastic measuring cup designed for liquids. Use measuring spoons for liquid
and dry ingredients. Level off with a metal spatula or the back of a knife.
3. Keep it fresh: Use fresh ingredients at room temperature. In Canada, use
All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour; in the USA, use Bread Flour. Use yeast
that has an expiration date of at least 6 months in the future. Avoid using
perishable ingredients (such as milk, eggs and cheese, fruit or fresh herbs)
when using the delay-bake function.
4. Perfect dough: In very humid weather, bread may require a little more flour.
Check the bread toward the end of the first rise. If it seems sticky, add 1 or
2 tablespoons of flour to the second kneading cycle until the dough forms
a smooth ball. If the bread seems very dry or knocks in the kneading cycle,
sprinkle room temperature water into the bowl, 1 teaspoon at a time, until
dough forms a smooth ball.
5. Look but don't open: The glass in the cover is there to monitor the process.
Do not open the lid during the baking process. In the initial mixing you may
open the cover to use a rubber spatula to blend in any ingredients that
have stuck to the sides of the bread pan or to add ingredients at the "add
ingredient" beep.
6. Patience: Wait at least 20 minutes before slicing freshly baked bread; it will
still be deliciously warm but easier to slice. If you like a crisp crust, remove
the bread as soon as the baking cycle is complete. To make another loaf of
bread, let the unit cool completely.
7. Save it for another day: To freeze freshly baked bread, cool completely on
a wire rack. Wrap securely in plastic wrap and then foil. To serve, remove
from foil and defrost. For that freshly baked flavor, reheat in the oven.
8. Adding ingredients: All functions allow for the addition of ingredients,
such as dried fruits and nuts; the beep sounds just before kneading is
complete. This happens about 25 minutes (8 minutes for Rapid Bake) into
the program.
