QUICK BREAD SETTING (continued)

-After one (1) minute of mixing, scrape sides of pan with a rubber scraper to clean off any flour residue, otherwise a flour ring will be left. Do not turn bread maker off or unlock or remove pan to scrape sides during mixing, simply scrape sides while machine is mixing.

-After the mix cycle is complete, the bread maker will go into the BAKE cycle for a total of 87 minutes to accommodate the different types of quick breads that can be made. Audible alerts will sound after 57, 67 and 77 minutes of baking as a reminder to check the doneness of the bread. The time will count down in display so you always know how much time remains in the BAKE cycle. You may also wish to set a separate timer to ensure that you check the doneness at the appropriate time. It is best to set a timer for the minimum baking time given in the recipe being made to prevent over baking. Check for doneness by opening the door and inserting a toothpick in the center of the crack that forms on the bread. The toothpick should come out clean when done. If it comes out wet, continue baking, checking it every 5 to 10 minutes, until done.

-After bread is done, turn bread maker off, unlock pan and remove with oven-mitts. Allow pan containing bread to cool on rack for time directed before removing. If not allowed to cool in pan, bread will stick. You may wish to run a smooth edged spatula around the edge of bread before removing to ensure complete release. After bread is removed from pan, allow to cool before slicing.
