Fruit and Nut Dispenser.
Your Ma-baker Pro has an automatic Fruit
&Nut dispenser which automatically releases dry ingredients into the dough during the kneading cycle. This will occur approximately 8 minutes before the completion of knead 2, ensuring that the dried fruits & nuts are not crushed and the pieces remain whole and are evenly dispersed.
The capacity of the fruit & nut dispenser is 1 cup of dry ingredients and is an available option on all menu settings but we recommend use only on the Basic (1), Gluten/Yeast Free (3), Wheat (4) and Sweet Bread (5).
The Fruit & Nut dispenser is yet another feature of your

Mixing and kneading
In standard bread baking, the baker mixes the ingredients first by stirring, then by kneading the dough by hand. The
and kneads the dough automatically for you.
Rising
When making bread by hand, the dough is placed in a warm place to rise after mixing, so that the yeast can ferment and produce gas. After mixing the dough, the baker maintains the
optimum temperature for rising during this part of the process.
If you are using the Dough Only cycle, the baker will stop at the end of the
first rising. The dough can now be removed and shaped - focaccia, pizza or any other creations, and placed in your own oven for baking.
Knock Down
Once the dough has risen, the baker will typically “knock down” the dough. This process helps to break apart large, unwanted pockets of air and gas that have developed through rising, giving
Second Rise
After it is knocked down, the bread bounces back, it rises a second time. Some breads require shorter or longer rising times. For example, wheat breads require a long rising time because the flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibits rising. The
the temperature and timing of this second rise automatically for you based on your selection.

The
Cool
In standard baking, the baker removes the bread from the pan immediately to keep the crust from turning soggy. However the
has a 60 minute keep warm feature which helps remove the hot air from the baking chamber after the bread is done. This keeps the crust from getting soggy. After removing the bread leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
