6. When done, turn machine off and remove loaf from pan. Allow to cool on rack
15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
: When using the remainder of the bread mix to make another loaf follow the
guidelines
except add a ¼-ounce package OR 2¼ teaspoons of fast rising or
bread machine yeast
. This amount will compensate for the packet of yeast used to
make the first loaf.
If there is not enough (1½ cups) bread mix left to make a second loaf of bread, use
bread flour or all purpose flour to make up the difference.
ADAPTING YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES
After you have prepared some of the recipes in this book, you may wish to adapt
some of your favorite bread recipes to the bread maker. Some experimentation will
be required on your part and you will need to check the condition of the dough during
the knead cycle for any minor adjustment that may be needed in liquid or flour. Use
one of the recipes in this book that is similar to your recipe as a guide, or use the
formula that follows:
½ cup liquid, 80-90°F (4 ounces)
1 tablespoon fat
1
tablespoon
sweetener
1
⅓
cups bread flour
2¼ teaspoons fast rising or bread machine yeast
¼ teaspoon salt
CRUST TREATMENT
For a gourmet touch, you can create breads with decorative crusts, whether slashed,
slit or sprinkled with seeds, herbs or cheese. Follow these guidelines for the crust
treatment of your choice:
Just before bread is baked
: When alert
sounds just before bread cycle begins, open
cover and carefully brush top surface of
dough with a lightly beaten egg white mixed
with 1-teaspoon water. Slash top of dough
with a sharp knife, about ¼ to ½ inch deep
for desired design. Leave plain or sprinkle
with seeds, herbs, grated Parmesan or
Romano cheese or other desired topping.
Press topping gently into dough to make sure
it will adhere. Close cover and allow bread
to be baked. Avoid opening cover during
baking to prevent heat loss.
Slashed Top Butter Split Top
X Slashed Top Tic-Tac-Toe Top
For best results, use only beaten egg white
and water mixture to treat crust before bake
cycle begins. This mixture will ensure that
any topping will stick to the top of the bread
and not fall off when loaf is removed from pan.
Warning:
Do not use vegetable oil cooking sprays for crust treatment, as mixture is
flammable when exposed to heating unit in bread maker.
