Cook only as much as will float easily in the oil. Too much added to the Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer will cause the temperature to drop, and the food will be difficult to turn. Turn bread when it rises to the top of the oil, taking
care not to pierce it. Lift cooked breads from the fryer; allow them to drain for a moment, then place on paper towels to drain.
