FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RECIPE BELOW

BREAD SELECT SETTING TO USE: DOUGH

1.Add liquid ingredients and shortening to bread pan.

2.Add flour, sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into the corners.

3.Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add yeast. Lock pan into bread maker.

4.Program Bread Select for dough. Program TIME DELAY if being used. Start bread maker. When done, remove pan from bread maker. Place dough on floured surface then let rest 15 minutes.

5.Roll dough into a rectangle, about ½-inch thick. Cut with donut cutter. Leave on counter to rise, covered. Knead together scraps of dough, let rest 10 minutes and re-roll. Cut into doughnuts. Let doughnuts rise, covered, in warm, draft-free place for 30 to 45 minutes or until double in size.

6.Fry 3 to 4 doughnuts at a time in 3 inches of vegetable oil, preheated to 375º F. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the durface. Fry 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Remove and place on paper towel to drain. Continue frying doughnuts. Frost or sugar as desired.

*For best results, use FAST RISE or BREAD MACHINE YEAST for lighter, fluffier doughnuts. If active dry yeast is used, additional rising time may be necessary. Use 3 teaspoons active dry yeast for this recipe.

QUICK BREAD SETTING

-The recipes in this section can be made at the quick bread setting. This setting is unique as it simply mixes the ingredients for three

(3) minutes, then immediately goes into the BAKE cycle. No yeast is used in these breads, therefore, no rise periods are needed.

-Scratch recipes and packaged quick bread mixes can be prepared, plus you can adapt your own favorite quick bread recipes following the guidelines given in this section.

-The TIME DELAY cannot be used with the quick bread setting as eggs are used which can spoil when left at room temperature for several hours. The bread color and loaf size buttons cannot be activated at the quick bread setting, nor can the extend rise feature of keep warm cycle be utilized as these do not apply to quick breads.

-Use all-purposeflour, not bread flour, in these recipes for best results.

-Always be sure to generously grease the inside of pan and knead bars with solid vegetable shortening to ensure good release of the bread after baking. If this is not done, the bread will stick. We do not recommend the use of vegetable cooking sprays to grease the pan as it can leave a residue, which can cause future sticking problems.

-Always use room temperature, softened butter or margarine to ensure even blending during the mix cycle. Also, cut the butter or margarine into small pieces for even blending. If using solid vegetable shortening, it too should be cut into small pieces for even blending. If refrigerated butter or margarine is used, it will not be blended into the mixture during the brief mix cycle.
