Breads

Crust on breads will be soft and the outsides will not brown. If desired, sprinkle top of batter with cinnamon-sugar mixture, chopped nuts or other topping for brown color. To increase

brown color on upside down breads, line dish before microwaving with brown sugar-caramel mixture or savory topping, such as crushed, canned, French-fried onion rings.
