SUBSTITUTES

In our test kitchen, we experimented with these ingredient substitutions. We do want to mention that your results may vary from ours. If you would like to try other substitutions, there are several helpful hint books available from retail stores to assist you. Of course, we cannot guarantee their results.

Eggs

Liquid egg substitutes may be used as directed on the carton.

Two egg whites may be substituted for one whole egg.

REMINDER: All egg products must be at room temperature.

Milk

Coffee creamer, non-dairy creamer or dry buttermilk may be substituted for dry milk in equal proportions. Liquid milk 80°F/27°C may be substituted for water in equal proportions for all bread programs except FAST BAKE. The dry milk may then be eliminated all together. The loaf will be slightly smaller.

Salt

Salt-free recipes are not successful. Dietetically sodium free (less than 5 mg sodium per serving) or low salt (less than 1/2 the sodium of table salt) may be used in equal amounts. The bread will be more coarse.

Sugar

Honey may be substituted for sugar in equal proportions; reduce the liquid by the same amount. Brown sugar may be substituted for white sugar in equal proportions. Yeast needs sugar — no artificial sweetener should be used.

Wheat Flour

For wheat-free bread recipes refer to gluten-free bread books.

Yeast

We used RED STAR® Yeast to develop our recipes. However, any brand may be used. Refer to yeast ingredient section for other yeast substitutes.
