Breadmaker Owner’s Manual

Double Acting	Baking powder is a leavening agent used in quick breads and cakes.
Baking Powder	This type of leavening agent does not require rising time before
	baking, as the chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are
	added and again when heat is applied.
Baking Soda	Baking soda is another leavening agent, not to be confused or
	substituted for baking powder. It also does not require rising time
	before baking as the chemical reaction works during baking pro-
	cess.

Measuring Your Ingredients

The most important step when using your Breadmaker is measuring your ingredients. It is very important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient accurately. For best results, add ingredients in the order given in each recipe.

Liquid Measure

•Use transparent plastic or glass liquid measuring cups to measure all liquid ingre- dients.

•Place the cup on a horizontal flat surface and view markings at eye level. The level of the liquid must be aligned to the appropriate mark of measurement.

•Do not “guesstimate!”

Dry Measure

•Dry ingredients must be measured using standard dry measuring cups. These cups are available in various sizes.

•Gently spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not scoop or tap measuring cup, as this will pack the ingredients. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe.

•Do not sift flour in bread making.

Recipe Tips

The recipes included in this book were developed for this Breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a particular loaf of bread and each was tested using the Beyond Breadmaker.

•It is extremely important not to exceed the amount of flour specified in each recipe, approximately 4-4-1⁄2 cups, or the bread may not be satisfactory.

•When using your own yeast bread recipes, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for converting portions from your recipe to the Breadmaker.

Special Glazes for Yeast Breads

Select one of the following special glazes to enhance your bread. After glazing, if desired, generously sprinkle with your choice of poppy, sesame or caraway seeds.

Egg Glaze	Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush
	generously over dough. Note: Apply to breads just before baking.
Melted Butter	Crust: Brush melted butter over just-baked bread for a softer,
	tender crust.
Milk Glaze	For a softer, shiny crust, brush just-baked bread with milk or cream.
