BREAD PAN TIPS
Inserting bread pan
Note: Remember to insert kneading paddles first, then add all
ingredients in the order listed BEFORE inserting the bread pan
into baking chamber.
Important: Collapsible kneading paddles may fall when
ingredients are added. This is normal. They will stand up
when kneading begins.
• When inserting bread pan into bread maker, make sure to
set firmly in place.
Removing bread pan
• To remove bread pan from baking chamber, hold handle with
an oven mitt and lift straight up.
Important: When you remove bread pan after baking, be sure
to wear oven mitts to prevent burning.
• After removing loaf (by turning bread pan upside down
and shaking gently), check to see that kneading paddle is
removed from loaf. If it is stuck in bread, allow bread to cool;
then use the paddle removal key to remove it, taking care not
to scratch the kneading paddles. Allow bread to cool before
removing the kneading paddles.
CHECKING DOUGH CONSISTENCY
Although your bread maker will mix, knead and bake
bread automatically, when baking bread from scratch, it is
recommended that you learn to recognize condition of your
dough. The ratio of flour to liquid is the most critical factor in
any bread recipe, yet the most easily remedied. After 5 to 8
minutes in Knead 2, open bread maker to check consistency
of dough. Dough should be in a soft, tacky ball (feel sticky like
scotch tape). If it is too dry, add 1 tsp. of liquid at a time. If it is
too wet, add 1 tbsp. of flour at a time.
