Amazon Basics BM1349 Programmable Bread Maker-FAQs
What does the “Cycle” button do on the Amazon Basics bread maker?
The Cycle button lets you customize the knead, rise, and bake times—ideal when using your own recipes or adjusting baking settings.
What temperature should the water be when using a bread maker?
Use warm water around 68°F (20°C), especially if your ingredients are stored in the fridge. This helps create the ideal dough consistency.
How long is the baking cycle in the bread machine?
The bake cycle varies by recipe, but for the basic setting:
1. Final rise begins about 1 hour and 55 minutes before completion.
2. Bread is usually fully baked at the end of the cycle (0:00).
Why does the bread machine rest before mixing?
The rest period allows ingredients and the bread pan to warm to room temperature. This ensures better yeast activation and consistent dough texture.
Can I open the bread machine while the dough is rising?
It’s okay to open the lid during the initial kneading stage, but avoid opening it during the second rise or baking to prevent affecting the loaf’s shape and texture.
Which mode is best for baking bread?
If you’re using a convection oven, reduce the baking time and temperature slightly for even results. For the bread maker, use the Basic or White Bread mode for standard loaves.
What should I do if my dough is too dry?
Check the dough about 15 minutes into kneading. If it looks dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the dough ball is smooth and elastic.
What size loaf does the Amazon Basics bread maker produce?
It typically makes a 2-pound loaf, which is great for small families or meal prep.
When should I remove the paddle?
To avoid large holes in the bottom of your bread, remove the paddle before the final rise, just after kneading has finished.
