Detailed Instructions

Using the bread pan handle, turn the bread pan counter-clockwise and then pull it out of the appliance.

Push the kneading paddle onto the drive shaft inside the bread pan. CAUTION! Falling Object Hazard. Breadmaker can wobble and walk during the kneading cycle. Always position it in the center of the counter away from the edge.

• LAST: Yeast. MUST be separate from wet ingredients
• SECOND: Dry ingredients (sugar,salt, shortening, flour)
• FIRST: Liquid ingredients—room temperature

1. First, liquid ingredients should be at room temperature or as specified in the recipe.
2. Second, dry ingredients. Add the flour gently and make sure it is evenly distributed over the liquid. If you tip it onto the liquid too fiercely, the liquid may seep up through the flour and affect the action of the yeast. This is particularly important if you are using the time delay.
3. Last, yeast. The yeast must be kept separate from the wet ingredients and salt. Create a small hole in the dry ingredients using your finger or a spoon and place the yeast in the hole. Make sure the yeast is fresh—check the use-by date
4. Using the bread pan handle, turn the bread pan counter-clockwise and then pull it out of the appliance.
5. Plug in the appliance. A beep will be heard, and the display will default to Cycle .
6. Press the CYCLE button until your desired cycle is displayed.
7. Press the LOAF SIZE button to move the arrow to 1-, 1.5- or 2-Ib. loaf size.
8. Press the CRUST button to move the arrow to the desired setting: Light, Medium, or Dark crust.
9. If desired, set the DELAY TIMER with the + and- buttons. (The Delay Function is only adjustable in
   Cycles 1712, 1617)NOTE: Do not use this feature when using dairy, eggs, etc. 
10. Press the START/STOP/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. Breadmaker will beep once, and the “:” in the digital display will begin to flash, indicating the timer is counting down. The kneading paddle will begin to mix your ingredients. If the Delay Timer is activated, the kneading paddle
    will not mix ingredients until the cycle is set to begin.
11. For add-ins (nuts, raisins), the machine will beep at the start of the second kneading. Open the lid and pour in your add-ins. This timing varies by cycle.
12. Once the cycle is complete, the machine will beep 10 times and shift to the Keep Warm setting for 1 hour.
13. To stop the machine, press the START/STOP/PAUSE button for 2 seconds, and the Keep Warm setting will end. Unplug the power cord and then open the lid using oven mitts.
14. Let the bread pan cool down slightly before removing the bread. Using oven mitts, carefully turn the bread pan counterclockwise to unlock and lift up on the handle to remove from the machine.
15. Using oven mitts, turn the bread pan upside down (with the bread pan handle folded down) onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out. Use a nonstick spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the bread pan.
16. If the kneading paddle remains in the bread, gently pry it out using the hook(or a spatula or small utensil). When not in use or when operation is complete, unplug the power cord.

Storing

Homemade bread does not contain any preservatives, so it should be eaten within 2-3 days of baking. If you are not eating it immediately, wrap it in foil or place it in a plastic bag and seal. Store remaining bread in a sealed plastic bag for up to three days at room temperature. To store for a longer time, place the sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

• Crispy, French-style bread will soften on storage, so it is best left uncovered until sliced.
• If you wish to freeze your bread, slice the loaf before freezing so you can take out just the slices you need.

Tips: Bread Basics for Ingredients Flour

• All-Purpose Flour

Flour that contains no baking powder, suitable for “quick” breads or bread made with the Quick
settings. Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads.

• Bread Flour

Bread flour is the most important ingredient of making bread and is recommended in most yeast-bread recipes. It has a high gluten content and can keep the size of the 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.

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), active-dry yeast, and instant yeast. Before using, check the expiration date of the yeast. Return to refrigerator immediately after each use.

Sugar

Sugar is “food” for the yeast and also increases the sweet taste and color of bread. It is very important for the color and flavor of the bread. White sugar is normally used; however, brown sugar, powdered sugar, or cotton sugar may also be called for in some recipes. Do not substitute with powdered sugar, brown sugar, or other artificial sweeteners unless indicated.

Salts

Salt in bread is NOT just a matter of taste! Salt restrains the growth of the yeast and improves elasticity
and structure. If you reduce or eliminate salt from the bread, it will rise excessively – if you use too much
salt, the loaf will not rise enough. Use common table salt.

Butter

Butter makes breads soft and glossy. Measured and cut into small pieces.

Tips for successful baking

1. Ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients.
2. Measurements: Measure ingredients accurately. Bread and yeast are very delicate and will not rise and bake properly if the ingredients are measured inaccurately.
3. Liquids First: Always place liquid ingredients in the baking pan first to allow the Home Bakery to knead properly.
4. Room Temperature: If the room temperature is over 77°F (25°C), we recommend using refrigerated liquids. Flour should be fresh and at room temperature.
5. Humidity: Humidity tends to make dough moister. Try adding an extra tablespoon of flour to improve the dough consistency. Repeat if necessary until the dough forms a nice ball.
6. High Altitude: For baking in high altitudes, decrease the amount of yeast by approximately 1/2 teaspoon, and decrease the sugar slightly.

MEASUREMENTS

• Accessories: Measurement Cup & Measurement Spoon
• Measurement and conversion chart
  • Liquid: Use only liquid measuring cups with the cups/ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Liquids must be room temperature.
    

    Fluid Ounce(s)	Cup	Tablespoon(s)	Teaspoons
    8	1	16	48
    7	7/8	14	46
    6	3/4	12	32
    5	5/8	10	30
    4	1/2	8	24
    3	3/8	6	18
    2	1/4	4	12
    1	1/8	2	6
    		1	3
    		1/2	1 1/2

• • Dry ingredients: Fill a dry measuring cup with a spoon and then level off the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Never use the cup to scoop the ingredients directly from the container (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not pack down.
