EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker Setting Tips and Hints

Yeast

Always use a fast rising yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.

Liquids

Always use hot water in the range of 115°–125° F. You must use a cooking thermometer to gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.

Salt

As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads. Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow your Oster® Breadmaker recipe suggestions for best results.

Other Ingredients

Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room temperature. Always use bread flour for the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings.

Instructions:

1Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember, it’s a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total).

2Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 115° – 125° F. When water is at the proper temperature, pour into the bread pan.

3Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature.

4Carefully measure and add the salt and sugar to the bread pan.

5Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread flour to the bread pan. Remember to make sure

not to “overpack” the flour into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fill the measuring cup to overflowing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula.

6 Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again, leveling off) 5 teaspoons of a fast-rising yeast and carefully pour it into the well you made in the flour.

7Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.

8Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will turn on. The time setting will say “3:25” hours.

9Repeatedly press the “Menu Select” button to select the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker (1.5LB) setting.

10Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.

Note: It is important that you DO NOT press the “Start/Stop” button while the breadmaker is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again, from scratch.

Note: DO NOT raise the lid when using the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting. Doing so can affect the rising of the dough.
