BREAKDOWN OF BREAD/DOUGH CYCLES: So you know exactly what is going on inside the bread maker during the process time, the following chart breaks down the time in minutes and seconds that each cycle requires. These times are approximate and should be used only as a guide. The total process time is also given in hours and minutes, depending on the crust selection made.

ONE-HOUR Yeast Breads are made by kneading, rising and baking the dough for shorter times at higher temperatures. See One-Hourbread section for details.

	REGULAR BREAD & DOUGH CYCLES
MIX	When bread maker is turned on, it will mix the ingredients about 5 minutes. The knead bar will
	start and stop during the mixing action which is normal.
REST	After the initial mixing period, the dough is allowed to rest about 15 minutes before the
	kneading action begins. You may hear faint clicking sounds during the rest period, which is
	normal and indicates the bread maker is working properly in keeping dough warm.
KNEAD	The total knead time varies depending on the bread selection made. Total kneading time at the
	basic/specialty setting is 20 minutes; 30 minutes at the whole wheat setting and 20 minutes at
	the dough setting. The longest knead time is required at the whole wheat setting to better
	develop the gluten in whole wheat flour.
	SPECIAL NOTES:
	An audible alert will sound during the knead cycle to let you know when to add extra ingredients
	such as raisins, nuts, cheese, etc., if recommended in the recipe. Adding these ingredients at the
	alert will prevent them from becoming over mixed or crushed. If you are not adding ingredients
	to the recipe, ignore this alert.
	If you need to make any adjustment to the recipe, such as adding a little more flour or liquid in
	order to improve the consistency of the dough, you must make this adjustment during the knead
	cycle. You can use the audible alert that sounds for adding ingredients as a reminder to check the
	dough during this time and make any adjustments as needed.
