KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS FLOUR & OTHER GRAINS 8 ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR All-purpose flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours ideally suited for making quick breads and cakes. BRAN Bran (unprocessed) is coarse outer portion of wheat or rye grains that is separated from flour by sifting or bolting. It is often added to bread in small quantities for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavor. It is also used to enhance bread texture.
TIPS ON FLOUR STORAGE CONVERSION CHART FOR BREAD MACHINE YEAST Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Store rye and whole wheat flours in a refrigerator, freezer or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using. ¾ tsp. bread machine yeast = ½ tsp. quick-acting yeast Note: Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different in how they are ground, milled, stored, etc.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENT NOTES Important: Exact measurements for ingredients are the most important part of baking. It is the key to getting great texture and consistency in your bread. Make sure to measure all ingredients exactly. 10 BAKING POWDER Double-acting baking powder is a leavening agent used in quick breads and cakes. This type of leavening agent does not require rising time before baking, as chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are added and again during baking process.
CLIMATE CHANGES & BAKING MAXIMUM INGREDIENT AMOUNTS • In high-altitude areas (over 3,000 feet) dough tends to rise faster, as there is less air pressure. Therefore, less yeast is necessary. • In dry climates, flour is drier and requires slightly more liquid. • In humid climates, flour is wetter and will absorb less liquid, so less liquid is required. • Bread cycles: approximately 5 cups How to Use BREAD PAN TIPS This product is for household use only.
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 tbsp. of liquid at a time.

containers work well) at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, (up to 1 month) place bread in sealed container in freezer. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster. Leftover or slightly hardened bread may be cut into ½-inch or 1-inch cubes and used in recipes to make croutons, bread pudding or stuffing. USING 15-HOUR DELAY BAKE TIMER Important: Delay baking does not activate JAM cycle.
Tips for Best Results • If using delay bake timer, make sure yeast is on top of flour, away from liquids. Important: Never allow dough to remain in bread maker after cycle is complete; it may over rise and damage machine. • Rising times for dough after it is shaped and placed in baking pan will vary due to recipe, temperature and humidity level of your kitchen. Optimum temperature for rising is 80°– 85°F. Rising is the most essential feature in bread making.
Rosettes JAM CYCLE On lightly floured board, roll about 1½ oz piece of dough into 14 inch rope. Tie in a loose knot, leaving 2 long ends. Tuck one end under knot and second end into the top center of the loose knot. Place 2-inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Method ARTISAN DOUGH CYCLE Tips for Best Results • Consider using more refined ingredients such as, organic flours, unrefined sea salt and spring water. 2.
