REGULAR BREAD & DOUGH CYCLES

MIX

When bread maker is turned on, it will mix the ingredients about 5 minutes. The knead bar will

 

start and stop during the mixing action which is normal.

REST

After the initial mixing period, the dough is allowed to rest about 15 minutes before the

 

kneading action begins. You may hear faint clicking sounds during the rest period, which is

 

normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly in keeping dough warm.

KNEAD

The total knead time varies depending on the bread selection made. Total kneading time at the

 

basic/specialty setting is 20 minutes; 30 minutes at the whole wheat setting and 20 minutes at

 

the dough setting. The longest knead time is required at the whole wheat setting to better

 

develop the gluten in whole wheat flour.

 

SPECIAL NOTES:

 

An audible alert will sound during the knead cycle to let you know when to add extra ingredients

 

such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc., if recommended in the recipe. Adding these ingredients at the

 

alert will prevent them from becoming over mixed or crushed. If you are not adding ingredients

 

to the recipe, ignore this alert.

 

If you need to make any adjustment to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in

 

order to improve the consistency of the dough, you must make this adjustment during the knead

 

cycle. You can use the audible alert that sounds for adding ingredients as a reminder to check the

 

dough during this time and make any adjustments as needed.
