Storing Homemade Bread

Fresh-baked bread is best when consumed as soon as possible. To store, wrap cooled loaf in foil or a plastic bag to preserve freshness. Bread can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Cleaning

WARNING: Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or housing in any liquid. Allow breadmaker to cool down completely before cleaning.

1. To clean kneading paddle: If the kneading paddle is difficult to remove from the bread, add water to the bottom of the bread pan and allow to soak for up to 1 hour. Wipe the paddle carefully with a damp cloth. The kneading paddle is dishwasher-safe.
2. To clean bread pan: Remove the bread pan by turning it counterclockwise. Wipe inside and outside of bread pan with a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive agents, in order to protect the nonstick coating. The bread pan must be dried completely before installation. NOTE: The bread pan and kneading paddles are dishwasher-safe. The outside of the bread pan and base may discolor. This is normal.
3. To clean housing and top lid: After use, allow unit to cool. Use a damp cloth to wipe lid, housing, baking chamber, and interior of viewing window. Do not use any abrasive cleaners for cleaning, since this will degrade the high polish of the surface. Never immerse the housing into water for cleaning.
4. Before the breadmaker is packed for storage, ensure that it has completely cooled down, is clean and dry, and the top lid is closed.

Tips: Bread Basics

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.

Other Ingredients

Egg Eggs can improve bread texture and make the bread larger in size. The egg must be whisked in with the other liquid ingredients.

Salt Salt is necessary to improve the bread flavor and crust color. It is also used to restrain yeast activity.

Shortening, Butter, and Vegetable Oil Shortening and butter should be cut into small pieces before adding to liquid.

Sugar Sugar is “food” for the yeast and also increases the sweet taste and color of bread. It is a very important element of making the bread rise. White sugar is normally used; however, brown sugar, powdered sugar, or cotton sugar may also be called for in some recipes.

Water and Other Liquids (always added first) Water is an essential ingredient for making bread. Generally speaking, water should be at room temperature. Some recipes may call for milk or other liquids. Never use dairy with the Delay Timer option.

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 breadmaker 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.

Tips: Use Exact Measurements

One of the most important steps of making good bread is the proper measurement of ingredients. Measure each ingredient carefully and add to your bread pan in the order given in the recipe.

Adding Sequence

Always add ingredients in the order given in the recipe.

• FIRST: Liquid ingredients
• SECOND: Dry ingredients
• LAST: Yeast

The yeast should only be placed on the dry flour and never come in contact with the liquid or salt. When you use the Delay Timer function for a long time, never add perishable ingredients such as eggs or milk

Liquid Ingredients

Water, fresh milk, or other liquids should be measured with a glass measuring cup with clear markings and a spout. Set the cup on the counter and lower yourself to check the liquid level. When measuring cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly in between.

Liquid Measurement Conversion Chart

Dry Measurements

Measure dry ingredients by gently spooning flour, etc., into the measuring cup and then, once filled, leveling off with a knife. Never use the measuring cup to scoop your dry ingredients directly from a container as this could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Do not tap the bottom of the measuring cup or pack down.

HINT: Before measuring, stir the flour to aerate it.

When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, such as salt or sugar, use a measuring spoon, making sure it is leveled off. Weighing dry ingredients with a digital scale will provide better baking results.

Frequently Asked Questions

May I use a sugar substitute in place of sugar?

Sugar is necessary for the yeast to produce a light loaf with a good height. Results may vary with the type and amount of sugar substitute used. If you are going to use an artificial sweetener, choose one that is aspartame-based rather than saccharin-based.

May I omit the salt or sugar from the recipe?

No, both the sugar and salt play an important role in the breadmaking process. Salt prevents the yeast from overreacting and the bread from overrising. The combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is a key part of the breadmaking process. Remember that the total sugar and salt amounts are divided among all the slices, so the amount of sugar and salt per serving is small.

When do I add raisins, nuts, etc., to the bread?

This breadmaker will beep at the start of the second kneading to let you know when to add raisins, nuts, seeds, etc. This timing varies by cycle. (Refer to the Timetable for Cycles chart.) If you are using the Delay Start timer and it is more convenient, you may add ingredients at the start.

Can I open the lid while the breadmaker is operating?

This breadmaker is designed with a window in the lid to let you watch your bread’s progress. Quick checks are OK in the early stages of kneading and to add ingredients when the beeper sounds. However, the temperature in the baking chamber adjusts for the Rising and Baking stages. Opening the lid during these steps could cause the loaf to fall or not bake properly. Sometimes condensation forms on the window after initial mixing and kneading. It usually disappears once the baking cycle starts so you should be able to get a clear view of your loaf.

Can I use my favorite bread recipes in my breadmaker?

Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread with recipes provided before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 4 1/4 (1 L) cups of dry ingredients (that includes flours, oats, cornmeal, etc.). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and butter/margarine to use.

What will happen if I leave the bread in the bread pan after baking?

This unit has a 60-minute Keep Warm cycle that lets you leave the bread in the pan for up to an hour after baking is complete. Once the warming cycle is over, it is best to remove the bread immediately or the bottom of your loaf will absorb moisture and become soggy.

Can the recipe be cut in half?

No, it is not recommended. The ingredient proportions work better in the full amounts.

How can bread mixes be used in the machine and at what setting?

The package instructions will list the amount of water and amount of yeast to use. Be sure to add liquid, then dry ingredients, followed by yeast. Do not allow the yeast to sit in the liquid. The bread type setting is dependent upon the type of bread mix being used (i.e., White bread uses the Basic bread setting; Sweet Bread setting is for use with dried fruit, cheese, or nuts; whole-wheat or multigrain should use the Whole Grain setting; Crust setting, either Light or Dark, is a personal preference). Do not use bread mixes that exceed 2-lb. (907-g) loaf size.

What is the difference between American flour and Canadian Flour?

Canadian flour has a higher protein or gluten content than American flour. You can substitute US flour in even amounts for Canadian flour. However, Canadian flour may absorb more moisture. Check your dough during the first kneading cycle. If it appears dry, you may add up to 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of additional water per cup of flour in the recipe. Add the water 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) at a time until desired consistency of a soft and supple dough is reached.
