Traditional White Bread 1–1/2 lb. loaf

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

After the EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting bread is baked

Caution: Do not put your face near the lid when you open the breadmaker, Hot steam may escape that could burn you.

Important: The breadmaker has an automatic “keep warm” setting that will keep your bread warm for up to one hour, We recommend however to remove the bread from the breadmaker right away to preserve its freshness.

1 Use pot holders or oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker.

Ingredients:

1 cup + 2 tablespoons

9 ounces total) of hot water (115° – 125°)

2 tablespoons oil (room temperature)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups Bread Machine flour

5 teaspoons fast-rising yeast

2	Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes
	out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula (metal can damage the pan’s surface) and carefully
	go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out.
3	If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use the included kneading blade
	removal tool to remove it from the loaf, Remember, it will be hot!

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.

6Before 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 EXPRESS BAKE 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.

Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it.

Important: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the breadmaker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.

Using the Delay Timer

You can delay the time your bread maker starts to have fresh bread ready when you get up in the morning or when you come from work.

We recommend that before you use the Delay Timer, you try out a few recipes. Use recipes that have produced good results for you in the

past.

Important: You CANNOT use the Delay Timer for EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker settings.

Before using the Delay Timer:

1Add all of the ingredients of the recipe.

2Select the correct setting for the kind of bread you are making (French, Sweet, etc.).

3Select the crust color.

Caution: Do not use recipes with ingredients that can spoil like eggs or milk.

To Use the Delay Timer:

1Figure out how many hours and minutes there are between now and when you want final, baked bread. For example, if it is 8:00 AM and you want bread ready for dinner at 6:00 PM, that is 10 hours.

2Use the delay timer up button to advance the time in 10 minute increments. In our example, you will do this until the timer reads “10:00.” If necessary, use the delay timer down button to decrease the time. (To advance the time quickly, simply press and hold down the delay timer up/down buttons.)

Important: If you make a mistake or wish to start over, press and hold down the “Start/ Stop” button until you hear a beep, then press the “Start/Stop” button one more time. The display will show the original setting and cycle time. The delay timer is canceled and you can start again.
