With wet ingredients, use ONLY
measuring cups with the cups/ ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Then, double check.
With dry ingredients, always
level off the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.
The SECOND most important secret of making bread.
Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means: FIRST, liquid ingredients SECOND, dry ingredients LAST, yeast Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, (between 7785 F) unless otherwise noted in the recipe.
Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. Last, its a good idea to start with all new, fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast). Now, lets try a simple (but really good) recipe.
Traditional White Bread 2 lb. loaf
1 + 1/3 cups water 4 teaspoons softened butter or margarine 4 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons sugar 4 teaspoons dry milk 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Carefully measure 1 and 1/3 cups water. Remember, use water that is room temperature. DO NOT use very hot or very cold water. Its a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 and 1/3 cups. Pour the water into the bread pan.
Carefully measure 4 teaspoons of butter or margarine that is at room temperature. Add this to the bread pan.
This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe. Next come the dry ingredients.
Measure 4 cups of bread flour. Make sure not to overpack the flour into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fill the measuring cup to overflowing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula. Pour the flour into the bread pan. Measure 2 tablespoons of sugar. Again, make sure to level off the tablespoons for an exact measurement. Add the sugar into the bread pan. Measure 4 teaspoons of dry milk. Level off the teaspoons of dry milk like all of the rest of the dry ingredients. Add the dry milk to the bread pan. Measure 2 teaspoons of salt. It is especially important to measure the salt precisely because too much salt, even a little, can affect the rising of the dough. Add the salt to the bread pan. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again, leveling off) 2 teaspoons of yeast and carefully pour it into the well you made in the flour.

Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
the lid 10 Closeinto the of the bread machine and plug the power cord wall outlet. The following things will happen. The machine will beep, and the lights of the display will turn on. The time setting will say 3:00 hours.
Repeatedly press the Crust Color button to select the kind of crust you want. For this recipe we recommend Medium. Depending on the crust color you select, the arrow will be pointing to either light, medium or dark. As you press crust color, the display will temporarily read:

3 :0 0

Light: 1L Medium: 1P Dark: 1H Press the Crust Color button until IP (medium) temporarily appears in the display window.
and your machine will start 12 Press the Start/Stop buttonthe breadmaker begin to making bread. You will hear mix the ingredients. Important: Do NOT press the Start/Stop button while the breadmaker is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again, from scratch. Important: You should not raise the lid for this recipe. (For other recipes you try later, you will need to raise the lid to add nuts, fruits, or other ingredients.) Caution: The breadmaker is very hot. Do not handle the machine while its operating. Do NOT lift the lid while the breadmaker is baking bread.

Bread Machine Stages

Its fun to watch your bread being made through the viewing window. For the basic cycle, you can expect the following things to happen as the timer counts down to zero.
To begin: The dough is kneaded for the first time. (10 minutes) At 2:50: At 2:30: At 2:15: At 1:55: At 1:55: At 1:00: At 0:00: The dough begins to rise. (20 minutes) The dough is kneaded for the second time. (15 minutes) The dough continues to rise. (20 minutes) The dough is punched down. (30 seconds) The dough rises for the final time. (55 minutes) The bread begins to bake. (60 minutes) The bread is finished.

After the bread is baked

Caution: Do not put your face near the lid when you open the breadmaker. Hot steam may escape that could burn you. Important: The breadmaker has an automatic keep warm setting that will keep your bread warm for up to one hour. We recommend however to remove the bread from the breadmaker right away to preserve its freshness.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker.
Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula (metal can damage the pans surface) and carefully go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out. If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use a plastic utensil to remove it from the loaf. Remember, it will be hot!

Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it. Important: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the breadmaker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.
Overview of Breadmaker Features

. Press this button to select the kind bread you want to make. Each time you press the button you hear a beep, and a red light wilt appear next to the setting you chose. The display shows a number for each setting. for example, is 1. is 2. Sweet is 3. etc. (for more information about each setting, please see Settings on page
Crust Color button The Crust Color button allows you to choose how light or dark to make the crust of the bread. Each time you press the Crust Color button the display will change as follows: L-Light= L

P-Medium= P H-Dark= H

In addition, the display will show the cycle number before the crust color setting. For example: the Basic with a Medium crust reads, 1P. Or the Whole Wheat bread setting with a dark crust reads 2H.
Display The Display shows the following settings: The number of the bread setting cycle The crust color setting The time remaining while your bread is kneading and baking Once you press the Start/Stop button the display will show the remaining time until your bread is baked. When the display reads 0:00 the bread is baked.
Timer Set buttons Press these buttons to delay the time for your breadmaker to start. For example, you can time your bread to be ready for dinner, or to bake while you are sleeping. (To learn how to use this feature, please see Chapter 5: Using the Delay Timer on page 23.)
Start/Stop button Press this button to start and stop your breadmaker. Important: Do not press Stop when making bread because this will cancel the entire cycle and you will need to start from scratch.

Breadmaker Settings

Your breadmaker can bake almost any kind of bread. We provide recipes that clearly show you which setting you should use. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Basic (Time: 3 hours) Whole Wheat (Time: 3 hours, 40 minutes) French (Time: 3 hours, 50 minutes) Sweet (Time: 2 hours, 50 minutes) EXPRESSBAKE (Time: 58 minutes) EXPRESSBAKE (Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes) Dough (Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes) Bake (Time: 1 hour) Basic This setting is probably used more than any other because it gives you the best results with just about any recipe.
Whole Wheat The whole wheat setting offers a longer rise time for breads that contain more than 50% whole wheat flour.

EXPRESSBAKE Setting Tips and Hints
Always use a fast rising yeast like Red Star QuickRise yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESSBAKE settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.

Liquids

Always use hot water in the range of 115125 F. You must use a cooking thermometer to gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.
As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESSBAKE setting breads. Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow your Oster Breadmaker recipe suggestions for best results.

Other Ingredients

Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room temperature. Always use bread flour for the EXPRESSBAKE settings.
Things You May Need to Buy
You should only use Bread Machine flour for the EXPRESSBAKE setting recipes.
You may need a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of the water you use in these recipes. You should only use hot water (between 115 and 125 F) for EXPRESSBAKE setting recipes. Although baking EXPRESSBAKE setting breads is a little different, the results and convenience are well worth it. The following recipe is a great one to try for your first EXPRESSBAKE setting loaf.
1 1/2 lb. Traditional White Bread
1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water (115125 F) 2 tablespoons oil (room temperature) 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 cups Bread Machine flour 41/2 teaspoons Red Star QuickRise yeast
Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember, its a good idea to place the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total). 19
Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 115125 F. When the water is at the proper temperature, pour into the baking pan. Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature. Carefully measure and add the salt, sugar, and dry milk to the baking pan. Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread flour to the baking pan. Remember to level off the bread flour for an exact measurement. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again leveling off) 41/2 teaspoons of Red Star QuickRise yeast and carefully pour into the well you made in the flour.
Repeatedly press the Select button until the red light appears next to the setting (58 min).
Press the Start/Stop button and your machine will start making bread. ! Caution: Do NOT raise the lid when using the setting. Doing so can affect the rising of the dough. The breadmaker is very hot, right from the beginning of the cycle. Do not handle the machine while its operating. Important: Do NOT press the Start/Stop button white the breadmaker is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again, from scratch.

After the !

Setting Bread Is Baked
Caution: Do not put your face near the lid when you open the breadmaker. Hot steam may escape that could burn you. Important: The breadmaker has an automatic
i keep warm setting that will keep your bread warm for up to 1 hour. we recommend removing the bread from the machine right away to preserve its freshness.
Use pot holders or oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker. Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula, (metal can damage the pans surface), and carefully go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out. If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use a plastic utensil to remove it from the loaf. Remember, it will be hot!
Allow the bread to cool on the rack for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it. If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the breadmaker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.

Using the Delay Timer

You can delay the time your breadmaker starts to have fresh bread ready when you get up in the morning or when you come from work. We recommend that before you use the Delay Timer, you try out a few recipes. Use recipes that have produced good results for you in the past. Important: You cannot use the Delay Timer for EXPRESSBAKE settings. Before using the Delay Timer:
Add all of the ingredients of the recipe. Select the correct setting for the kind of bread you are making (French, Sweet, etc.). Select the crust color.
Caution: Do not use recipes with ingredients that can spoil like eggs or milk.

To Use the Delay Timer:

flgure out how many hours and minutes there are between now and when you want final, baked bread. For example, if it is 8:00 AM and you want bread ready for dinner at PM, that is 10 hours. Use the Timer Up button to advance the time In 10 minute increments. in our example, you will do this until the timer reads if necessary, use the Timer Down button to decrease the time. advance the time quickly. simply press and hold down the Timer Up/Down buttons.) important: if you make a mistake or wish over, press and hold down the Start/Stop button until you hear a beep. The display willshow the original setting and cycle time. The Delay Timer is canceled and you can start again. When the Delay Timer is set where you want it, make sure to press the Start/Stop button. The colon will flash and your bread will be ready when you planned. important: When using the Delay Timer during times of hot weather, you may wish to reduce the liquid in your recipe by 1 or 2 tablespoons. This is to prevent the dough from rising too much. You may also reduce the salt by or teaspoons and try cutting the amount of sugar you use by teaspoon at a time.

Tips and Hints

Experienced cooks consider breadmaking to be as much of an art as a science. Keep in mind that some recipes may require a little experimentation before they are exactly the way you want them. Just dont give up. Still, there are special hints to ensuring quality bread almost every time.

Use Exact Measurements

Weve already mentioned how important it is to use exact measurements when baking bread, but it should be said again. Level off all dry ingredients and make sure that all liquid ingredients are measured in a glass cup with the markings clearly labeled on the side.

Use Fresh Ingredients

You should always use fresh ingredients. The reasons are: Flour. If you have stored your flour for a long time, it may have become wet from absorbing moisture, or dry,
depending on the area of the country in which you live. We recommend using fresh bread flour. Yeast. Fresh yeast is probably the most important ingredient in baking bread. If the yeast is not fresh, your bread may not rise. It is better to buy new yeast than to take a chance on yeast that has been stored for a long time. You can test the freshness of your yeast. Simply fill a cup with warm water, then add and stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of yeast on the surface of the water and wait. After 15 minutes, the yeast should foam and there should be distinct odor. If neither reaction happens, the yeast is old and should be thrown away.

Add Ingredients in Order

Read all recipes from top to bottom, and remember: FIRST, liquid ingredients SECOND, dry ingredients LAST, yeast

Check the Doughball

This is a secret well known by people who make bread the old fashioned way. While hand kneading the mixture, they adjust the consistency of the dough by adding a little flour or a little water until the doughball is just right. Although the breadmaker kneads the dough for you, this secret is still true. Heres what you should do.

Troubleshooting Getting Started
If you experience difficulties when operating the breadmaker, review the troubleshooting information in this section to find a solution. If you are unable to find a solution, please call our Consumer Relations Department at 1(800)526-2832.
If you have a power outage
If the power goes out while you are using your breadmaker, the display will go blank. If the breadmaker is kneading the bread, you can restart the machine and continue. If the machine is baking bread, either finish baking the bread in an oven or start from scratch with a new loaf. When the power comes back on, you should do the following:
Hold down the Start/Stop button for at least 3 seconds. If the display does not return to the time setting before the outage, unplug the breadmaker and then plug it back in. If the machine still does not start, hold down the Start/Stop button a second time for 3 seconds. Continue to unplug and replug the machine and hold down the Start/Stop button until the display returns to the cycle time before the power outage.
Understanding Display Information
Your Oster Breadmaker is designed to give you information on temperature problems that may occur. The following chart shows you how to correct problems that may occur from time to time.

Display Problem

The display does not light up. 0:00 (: flashes)

What to Do

Plug in the breadmaker. There is no problem. This just means the baking cycle is over and the breadmaker is keeping your bread warm. Press the Start/Stop button to turn off the keep warm feature. This just means that the breadmaker must cool before you bake another loaf. Press the Start/Stop button. Open the top of the breadmaker, remove the bread pan and let the breadmaker cool about 15 minutes before baking another loaf. This means that the room temperature is too low (59 F or less). Press the Start/Stop button. Place the breadmaker in a warm room and allow it to warm up. This means that the room temperature is too high to bake bread (86 F or more). Press the Start/Stop button to remove the display. Place the breadmaker in a cool location before using it.

Breadmaker Problem

You see smoke or smell a burning odor from the back of the machine.

Solution

Ingredients have spilled out of the bread pan and into the machine itself. Stop the breadmaker and allow it to cool off. Clean the breadmaker before using it again. Please see Taking Care of Your Bread Machine on page 30.

The dough does not mix.

Make sure the baking pan and kneading blade are properly installed in the machine.
Troubleshooting Baking Problems
If your bread does not turn out the way you expected or has some characteristic you dont care for, review the chart below for some possible solutions.

Baking Problem

The sides of the bread collapse There are several possible and the bottom of the bread is solutions. The bread may have damp. been left in the bread pan too long after baking. Remove the bread from the pan sooner and allow it to cool. Try using more flour (a teaspoon at a time), or less yeast (1/4 teaspoon at a time), or less water or liquid (a teaspoon at a time). This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe.
Baking Problem, continued
The bread has a heavy, thick texture.
Try using less flour (a teaspoon at a time), or more yeast (1/4 teaspoon at a time). This could also be the result of using old flour or the wrong type of flour for the recipe. Try using more flour (a teaspoon more at a time), or less water or liquid (a teaspoon less at a time). Do not lift the lid too often during baking. This is usually the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe. Try using less yeast (1/4 teaspoon less at a time). This could also be the result of forgetting to add salt to the recipe or forgetting to put the kneading blade into the baking pan. There are several possible solutions. Try using less flour (a teaspoon less at a time), more yeast (1/4 teaspoon more at a time), or less water (a teaspoon less at a time). This could also be the result of: forgetting to add salt to the recipe, using old flour or the wrong kind of flour for the recipe, using old yeast, or not using hot water (except for the EXPRESSBAKE cycles).
The bread is not baked completely in the center.
The bread has a coarse or holey texture.

The bread rose too much.

The bread did not rise enough.
The bread has a floured top.
This is usually a result of using too much flour or not enough water. Try using less flour (a teaspoon less at a time), or try using more yeast (1/4 teaspoon less at a time). This is usually the result of adding too much sugar to the recipe. Try using less sugar (1 Tbsp. at a time). You can also try selecting a lighter crust color selection.

Getting Started

Place the breadmaker on a counter where the plug will reach an outlet. DO NOT yet plug the machine into the wall outlet. You will be shown later when to do this. Make sure you can open the breadmaker top without hitting the top of kitchen cabinets.
Open the lid and remove the baking pan. To do this, simply grasp the handle of the pan and pull straight up. Use a gentle, non-abrasive soap and wash, rinse, and dry the pan thoroughly.
Attach the kneading blade to the baking pan, as shown. You will find the kneading blade in a small plastic wrap attached to the power cord.
Set the pan aside. Do not yet place the pan into the breadmaker.

Youre ready to start!

Lets Bake Bread
The simplest way to learn how to bake bread is to follow a basic recipe. The following recipe is easy and the bread is delicious.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following measuring equipment: Liquid measuring cup Dry measuring cups Measuring spoons You will need the following ingredients: Water Butter/Margarine Salt Bread flour (be sure to buy bread flour, preferably for breadmakers) Dry milk Sugar Active, fast rising yeast
Measuring THE most important secret of making bread.
Exact measurements. Thats the key to successfully baking bread. Exact measurements.

With wet ingredients, use ONLY
measuring cups with the cups/ ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Then, double check.
With dry ingredients, always
level off the measurement with the back of a knife or a spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.
The SECOND most important secret of making bread.
Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means: FIRST, liquid ingredients SECOND, dry ingredients LAST, yeast Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, (between 7785 F) unless otherwise noted in the recipe.
Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. Last, its a good idea to start with all new, fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast). Now, lets try a simple (but really good) recipe.
Traditional White Bread 2 lb. loaf
1 + 1/3 cups water 4 teaspoons softened butter or margarine 4 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons sugar 4 teaspoons dry milk 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Carefully measure 1 and 1/3 cups water. Remember, use water that is room temperature. DO NOT use very hot or very cold water. Its a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 and 1/3 cups. Pour the water into the bread pan.
Carefully measure 4 teaspoons of butter or margarine that is at room temperature. Add this to the bread pan.
This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe. Next come the dry ingredients.
Measure 4 cups of bread flour. Make sure not to overpack the flour into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fill the measuring cup to overflowing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula. Pour the flour into the bread pan. Measure 2 tablespoons of sugar. Again, make sure to level off the tablespoons for an exact measurement. Add the sugar into the bread pan. Measure 4 teaspoons of dry milk. Level off the teaspoons of dry milk like all of the rest of the dry ingredients. Add the dry milk to the bread pan. Measure 2 teaspoons of salt. It is especially important to measure the salt precisely because too much salt, even a little, can affect the rising of the dough. Add the salt to the bread pan. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again, leveling off) 2 teaspoons of yeast and carefully pour it into the well you made in the flour.

Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
the lid 10 Closeinto the of the bread machine and plug the power cord wall outlet. The following things will happen. The machine will beep, and the lights of the display will turn on. The time setting will say 3:00 hours.
Repeatedly press the Crust Color button to select the kind of crust you want. For this recipe we recommend Medium. Depending on the crust color you select, the arrow will be pointing to either light, medium or dark. As you press crust color, the display will temporarily read:

3 :0 0

Light: 1L Medium: 1P Dark: 1H Press the Crust Color button until IP (medium) temporarily appears in the display window.
and your machine will start 12 Press the Start/Stop buttonthe breadmaker begin to making bread. You will hear mix the ingredients. Important: Do NOT press the Start/Stop button while the breadmaker is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again, from scratch. Important: You should not raise the lid for this recipe. (For other recipes you try later, you will need to raise the lid to add nuts, fruits, or other ingredients.) Caution: The breadmaker is very hot. Do not handle the machine while its operating. Do NOT lift the lid while the breadmaker is baking bread.

Bread Machine Stages

Its fun to watch your bread being made through the viewing window. For the basic cycle, you can expect the following things to happen as the timer counts down to zero.
To begin: The dough is kneaded for the first time. (10 minutes) At 2:50: At 2:30: At 2:15: At 1:55: At 1:55: At 1:00: At 0:00: The dough begins to rise. (20 minutes) The dough is kneaded for the second time. (15 minutes) The dough continues to rise. (20 minutes) The dough is punched down. (30 seconds) The dough rises for the final time. (55 minutes) The bread begins to bake. (60 minutes) The bread is finished.

After the bread is baked

Caution: Do not put your face near the lid when you open the breadmaker. Hot steam may escape that could burn you. Important: The breadmaker has an automatic keep warm setting that will keep your bread warm for up to one hour. We recommend however to remove the bread from the breadmaker right away to preserve its freshness.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker.
Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula (metal can damage the pans surface) and carefully go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out. If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use a plastic utensil to remove it from the loaf. Remember, it will be hot!
Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it. Important: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the breadmaker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.

When the display reads 0:00 the bread is baked.
Timer Set buttons Press these buttons to delay the time for your breadmaker to start. For example, you can time your bread to be ready for dinner, or to bake while you are sleeping. (To learn how to use this feature, please see Chapter 5: Using the Delay Timer on page 23.)
Start/Stop button Press this button to start and stop your breadmaker. Important: Do not press Stop when making bread because this will cancel the entire cycle and you will need to start from scratch.

If you wish to bake another loaf of bread, you must let the breadmaker cool for 20 minutes with the cover open. YOU CAN use standard bread mixes for EXPRESSBAKE setting breads, but the results may not be as good as the results when using your Oster Breadmaker recipes within this book.
EXPRESSBAKE Setting Tips and Hints
Always use a fast rising yeast like Red Star QuickRise yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESSBAKE settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.

Liquids

Always use hot water in the range of 115125 F. You must use a cooking thermometer to gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.
As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESSBAKE setting breads. Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow your Oster Breadmaker recipe suggestions for best results.

Other Ingredients

Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room temperature. Always use bread flour for the EXPRESSBAKE settings.
Things You May Need to Buy
You should only use Bread Machine flour for the EXPRESSBAKE setting recipes.
You may need a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of the water you use in these recipes. You should only use hot water (between 115 and 125 F) for EXPRESSBAKE setting recipes. Although baking EXPRESSBAKE setting breads is a little different, the results and convenience are well worth it. The following recipe is a great one to try for your first EXPRESSBAKE setting loaf.
1 1/2 lb. Traditional White Bread
1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water (115125 F) 2 tablespoons oil (room temperature) 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 cups Bread Machine flour 41/2 teaspoons Red Star QuickRise yeast
Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember, its a good idea to place the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total). 19
Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 115125 F. When the water is at the proper temperature, pour into the baking pan. Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature. Carefully measure and add the salt, sugar, and dry milk to the baking pan. Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread flour to the baking pan. Remember to level off the bread flour for an exact measurement. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again leveling off) 41/2 teaspoons of Red Star QuickRise yeast and carefully pour into the well you made in the flour.

If the doughball is too wet
During the second kneading cycle, check the consistency of the doughball. If the doughball appears sticky or wet, like pancake batter, sprinkle in flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round, and dry and circles nicely in the pan.
If the doughball is too dry
If the doughball appears flaky, or you hear your breadmaker begin to make knocking sounds, the dough ball is too dry. To correct this problem, simply sprinkle in water, a teaspoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round and dry, and circles nicely in the pan. Be careful not to add too much water.
For Baking at High Altitudes
If you live above 3000 feet, you probably already know how to adjust other recipes like cakes and muffins. Higher altitudes tend to: make dough rise faster make flour drier To compensate for high altitude baking, We recommend the following: If the dough is too dry increase the amount of water to the recipe, sometimes as much as 24 tablespoons per cup.
If the bread rises too high reduce the amount of yeast. For each teaspoon of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon. reduce the amount of sugar. For each tablespoon of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 teaspoons.
Measurement Equivalency Chart Getting Started
The following chart will help you convert measurements used in the recipes. For example: 1/2 tablespoon = 1 + 1/2 teaspoons

Taking Care of Your Bread Machine
Caution: Do not put the breadmaker in water or in a dishwasher. Do not use benzene, scrubbing brushes, or chemical cleaners as these will damage the machine. Use only a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to clean the breadmaker.

General cleaning

Remove all bread crumbs by wiping them away with a slightly damp cloth. DO NOT bend the heating element which is located on the inside of the breadmaker.
Cleaning the baking pan and kneading blade
Wipe the baking pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry completely. DO NOT wash the pan or parts in the dishwasher. This will damage the finish of the pan and the other parts.
Caring for your breadmaker
Keep your breadmaker clean at all times. Caution: Do not use metal utensils with the breadmaker. This will damage the non-stick pan and other parts.
Dont worry if the color of the bread pan changes over time. The color change is a result of steam and other moisture and does not affect the machines performance. If you have trouble removing the kneading blade, place warm water in the bread pan for 1015 minutes and this will loosen the blade.

Dough Setting Recipes

Dough Machine Stages
For the dough cycle you can expect the following things to happen as the timer counts down to zero: At 1:30: The dough is kneaded for the first time. (20 minutes) At 1:10: The dough continues to rise. (20 minutes) At 0:50: The dough is punched down. (30 seconds) At 0:50: The dough rises for the final time.

Dough Instructions

Put ingredients in bread pan and put the bread pan into the breadmaker. Press the Select button to reach the dough setting. Press Start/Stop. The display will begin counting down the time on the Dough/Pasta setting. When dough is ready, the unit will signal and the display will read, 0:00. Press Start/Stop, holding it down until you a hear a beep and the display clears. To remove the bread pan, grasp the handle firmly and lift the pan out.

Dough Note: The pan does not get hot when using the dough setting.
Preparing Dough for Baking
Lightly sprinkle all-purpose flour onto a pastry mat or board. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, remove dough from the bread pan and place on lightly floured surface. Knead by hand 2 or 3 times to release the air. If the dough is easy to handle without flour, shape on a lightly oiled, clean countertop. Shape dough into your favorite rolls, coffee cake, etc. (suggestions follow). Place on greased baking pan. Cover dough with a clean cloth and let rise until almost doubled in size (about 1 hour). Bake as directed in the recipe. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack or serve warm.
Variations for Shaping Dough
Easy Dinner Rolls Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls and place in greased muffin cups. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 12
Swirls Lightly grease baking sheet. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, using your hand, roll each piece into a pencillike strand about 10 inches long. Beginning at one end of the strand, continue wrapping each piece around the center to form a
Dough swirl. Place rolls 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 10 Butterhorns Lightly grease baking sheet and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut into 12 wedges. To shape rolls, begin at wide end of wedge and roll towards the point. Place rolls point side down, 2 to 3 inches apart, on prepared baking sheet. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 12

Rising

To Reduce Rising Time of Dough Preheat conventional oven to 200F for 5 minutes, then turn off oven. Shape dough, place on baking pan as directed and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place dough in oven until doubled in size. This will reduce rising time by about one half. Recipes using whole grain or unrefined flours contain less gluten and may not rise as much as those using white bread flour. As a result, these heavier breads may fall slightly in the center. This is normal and will not affect the taste of the bread. Wheat gluten can also be added to improve the shape and volume of bread made with low gluten flours.

Storing

Keeping Your Bread Fresh There are no preservatives in your homemade bread, so store cooled loaf in a lightly sealed plastic bag. If desired, enclose a stalk of celery in the bag to keep bread fresh longer. Do not store in the refrigerator as this causes bread to dry out faster.
