Bread Type Setting Descriptions

SUPER RAPID BAKE/REGULAR Crust or DARK Crust (1:10 hours)

This setting is used only to make selected recipes quickly whether you choose a REGULAR or DARK crust. Refer to the recipe section of this booklet for a complete list of all recipes that can be used with this setting. This setting cannot be used successfully to make breads other than those specified due to the shorter rising time of this cycle.

SWEET/REGULAR Crust or DARK Crust (3:50 hours)

Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, large amounts of sugar, cheese, or added sweet ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is lower to prevent burning.

GRAIN (4:10 hours)

This setting is used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, or bran. This setting has a longer rise cycle and preheat cycle to allow heavier grains

to expand. Generally, whole wheat/multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than Basic or Sweet breads. You cannot use the CRUST color selections with this setting.

DOUGH (2:00 hours)

This setting makes bread-style dough. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, bread sticks, long loaves or braids that must then be baked in a con- ventional oven.

BAKE (30 min - 1:30 hours)

This setting is for quick breads (non-yeast breads) and may be used with some cake recipes by lower- ing the manufacturer’s recommended temperature setting by 50° F (10°C) and increasing the time.

Some experimentation may be nesessary. Temperature ranges between

300° F - 420° F (154°C - 216°C). You don’t need to use the paddle. This setting is good for frozen and thawed doughs.

How To Use Your Breadmaker

The bread making settings in this unit will combine ingredients, knead, and bake bread from start to finish – automatically.

The DOUGH setting makes dough for a variety of recipes but you must shape and bake the dough yourself in a conventional oven. To delay comple- tion, the automatic TIMER may be programmed to make bread while you are at work or asleep.

(See “Setting the Timer” pg. 10)

The Cookbook section of this book includes recipes that have been thoroughly tested in Black & Decker’s own test kitchen to ensure best results in both the United States and Canada. Flours, cornmeal, and a few other ingredients vary widely between

the two countries.

NOTE: The term,“All-Purpose Flour” for example, is applied to two totally different types of flour depending on whether it is purchased in the U.S. or Canada. Canadian “All-Purpose Flour” will produce

good to excellent results in this Breadmaker; whereas American “All-Purpose Flour” will produce poor results.

Most North American national brand flours and yeasts will produce good results. Keep in mind that the recipes included here have been created by our Home Economists specifically for this automatic breadmaker and may not produce acceptable results in other similar breadmakers.
