Things You Should Know
About Your Breadmaker
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
TAMPER
-
RESISTANT SCREWS
This appliance is equipped with tamper-resistant screws to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not
attempt to remove the outer cover.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done
only
by authorized service personnel (see insert for a list of Black & Decker Company-Owned or Authorized Service Centers).
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be
rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) or Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) listing, depending on the country. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it
at outlet and appliance connections.

Getting To Know Your Breadmalcer
Quick Tips
Your breadmaker makes large 2 lb-loaves.
There are five settings including one for
dough or pasta.
The "Rapid Bake" setting can produce
variations of basic white bread
in less than 2 hours. This setting can only be used with recipes supplied (see pg. 21).
You cannot use the
timer
with this selection. This setting cannot handle heavier recipes such as whole grain because of its shortened rising cycle.
Depending on the recipe you select, the
"Dough/Pasta" setting will let you produce dough that can be shaped into dinner rolls, pizza, long loaves, challah, pretzels, filled braids,
or more. For Pasta, be sure to use pasta or
semolina flout Pasta dough should be processed through a pasta maker or pasta
shaper to form the desired shape. Consult the
Cookbook section of this manual.
The Crust Control function lets you choose
"Regular" or "Dark' crust on the Basic, Rapid Bake, or Sweet settings. It cannot be used on the Whole Grain or Dough/Pasta settings.
The "Keep Warm" function begins automatically
after bread is baked. It keeps baked bread warm up to an hour after the baking is done. This function stops after 60 minutes or when the unit is unplugged, or the Start/Reset button is pressed.
An 'Add-Ingredient" function signals with beeps when it's time to add ingredients
such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with any setting except Rapid Bake. A beep signals before kneading is completed to let you know when to add ingredients. The feature helps keep fruit or nuts whole (See 'Add-Ingredient Function" pg. 10 for more details) If you use the TINTER to delay baking, you may add all ingredients at once and bypass this function, however, your fruit or nuts may get "chopped" and blended into the bread.
Do not cover the breadmaker with towels
or other material that may prevent steam from escaping. Some steaming from vents is normal.
Because of escaping steam, you should keep the breadmaker several inches away from cabinets while making bread.
Do not place any objects on top of the
breadmaker.
IMPORTANT:
Add ingredients in the order they
are specified in the recipe. For best results,
accurate measuring of ingredients is very
important.
Do not put larger quantities than recommended into the Baking Pan as it may produce poor results and may damage the breadmaker.

Use when setting the TIMER to delay baking.
"Up" and "Down" arrows will move time up or down in 10-minute intervals.
If "Up" or "Down" arrow is held, the time setting will advance or go back rapidly.
3. StartlReset Button
Press to start operation or begin Timer count­down for delayed completion.
Press and hold until the display clears to stop operation or cancel a Timer setting. (DO NOT press when you are just checking the progress of
your bread or you will cancel your program.)
4. Indicator Light
A red light indicates that the programmed cycle has started even when you're using the timer to delay breadmaking. When the cycle is complete, the light will flash for 60 minutes in its "Keep Warm" cycle. If you do not remove the bread after the 60 minutes, the light will simply remain on to show you that the unit is still plugged in.
Bread Type Setting Descriptions
NOTE: The number in parentheses following each setting description represents the total baking time. Each setting begins with a preheat period which
delays the mixing cycle until the desired temperature is reached within the oven chamber.
The preheat cycle does not add time to the Bread
program.
BASIC BREAD 'Regular Crust or BASIC BREAD/Dark Crust (3:50 hours)
This setting is used for breads which primarily use
white flour, though some recipes may include small
amounts of whole wheat flour as well. In the U.S., be sure to use Bread Flour; in Canada, you may use Canadian All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour. Follow recipes carefully.
Basic Bread/Regular Crust
will produce good results when you are using ingredients such as cheese, nuts, or cornmeal as they tend to brown easily. Choose Basic Bread/Dark
Crust, to produce a loaf with a darker crust without
lengthening the baking time.
6
Page 7
Bread Type Setting Descriptions
RAPID BAKE/Regular Crust or RAPID BAKE/Dark Crust (1:58 hours)
This setting is used only to make variations of basic white bread quickly whether you choose a "Regular"
or "Dark" crust.
Refer to the recipe section of this booklet for a complete list of all recipes that can be used with this setting.
This setting cannot be used successfully to make breads other than those specified due to the shorter rising time of this cycle.
SWEET/Regular Crust or SWEET/Dark Crust (3:50 hours)
Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, large amounts of sugar, cheese, or added sweet ingredients such as raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is lower to prevent burning.
WHOLE GRAIN (4:10 hours)
This setting is used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, or bran. This setting has a longer rise cycle and preheat cycle to allow heavy wheat grains to expand. Generally, whole wheat/multi-grain breads are shorter and denser than Basic or Sweet breads.
You cannot use the Crust Color selections
with this setting.
DOUGH/PASTA (2:00 hours)
This setting makes bread-style dough and pasta
dough. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, pretzels, long loaves or braids that must then be baked in a conventional oven. It can also prepare
pasta dough that must then be processed and
shaped through a pasta maker. Pasta dough should
be removed from the Breadmaker after the
"Add-Ingredient" signals (in 40 - 45 minutes).
Follow pasta recipes on page 32 for
specific directions.
How To Use Your Breadmaker
T
he four bread making settings in this unit will
combine ingredients, knead, and bake bread
from start to finish — automatically. The Dough/Pasta setting makes dough for a variety of recipes but you must shape and bake the dough
yourself in a conventional oven or process it in a
pasta maker. To delay completion, the Automatic Timer may be programmed to make bread while you are at work or asleep. (See "Setting the Timer" pg. 10)
The Cookbook section of this book includes recipes that have been
thoroughly
tested in Black & Decker's own test kitchens both in the United States and Canada to ensure best results. Flours, cornmeal, and a few other ingredients vary widely between the two countries.
NOTE The term, 'All-Purpose Flour" for example, is
applied to two totally different types of flour
depending on whether it is purchased in the U.S. or Canada. Canadian 'All-Purpose Flour" will produce
good to excellent results in this Breadmaker; whereas
American 'All-Purpose Flour" will produce poor
results.
Therefore, each recipe is presented with two sets of ingredients —one for each country. Since ingredients
are different, it is important that you double check to be sure you are following the recipe appropriate for ingredients in your country (U.S. or Canada) before using your Breadmaker.
Most North American national brand flours and yeasts will produce good results. Keep in mind that the recipes included here have been created by our Home Economists specifically for this automatic breadmaker (Model B1600 series) and may not produce acceptable results in other similar breadmakers.

Be sure the unit is unplugged. Open the lid,
grasp the wire handle with two hands, and turn the Baking Pan to the left "Unlock" position, then remove it by pulling
straight up on the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit rather than add ingre­dients into the Pan while it is in place to avoid acci­dentally spilling ingredients into the oven chamber.
2
Attach the Mixing Paddle onto
the shaft inside the Baking Pan
by lining up the flat side of the Paddle with the flat side on the shaft. Gently push the Paddle onto the shaft.
3
Select a recipe from the
Cookbook section of this booklet.
When following the recipe:
Always
add ingredients into the Baking Pan in
the order they are listed.
Measure ingredients carefully
& accurately. To measure liquids, use a see-through measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level.
When measuring dry ingredients, use standard dry measuring cups or measuring spoons and level off the ingredients with the straight-edge of a knife or metal spatula.
Inaccurate measurements, even if only slightly of can make a difference in results.
Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the
yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients, salt
or shortening.

Close the lid and plug into an outlet (120 volt). Two
ARROWS will come up in the display window indi­cating BASIC BREAD TYPE with a DARK CRUST and 3:50 hours will flash in the display window.
6
If you want to bake a basic loaf of bread with a
Dark Crust, press the START/RESET Button. However, you can choose a different setting for your recipe by pressing the BREAD TYPE button on the
dow. If you are using a recipe that calls for the Basic, Rapid Bake, or Sweet Bread setting, choose a crust color by pressing the CRUST COLOR button until the arrow in the window lines up with either "Regular" or "Dark"
7
Press the START/RESET Button once until it
beeps and the red indicator light comes on. For example, if you chose a recipe for the Basic Bread setting, the display will show 3:50 (regardless of
whether you chose "Regular" or "Dark"
crust). It will count down the remaining time in one-minute intervals (3:49, 3:48, etc.) until the bread is done. When the baking is com­plete, several beeps will sound to alert you that the bread is ready and the red indicator light will begin flashing.
I)
This Breadmaker is designed with a
Keep Warm
function that automatically begins when baking is complete. The red light will continue to flash for up to 60 minutes after baking is complete and will keep bread warm during that time. At the end of the hour, the
Keep Warm
cycle will end and the light will remain on constantly, indicating the unit is still plugged in. The bread should then be removed as
soon as possible to avoid getting soggy. You may
remove the Baking Pan any time during the
Keep
Warm
cycle. To turn off the
Keep
Warm
feature
before the 60 minutes are up, simply press the
START/RESET button and hold it until the display
time clears. Always unplug the unit when finished.
NOTE: The Keep Warm
feature does not function for the DOUGH/PASTA setting since baking is not involved in this program. If you leave finished dough in the unit over a period of time, it may over-rise and
produce poor results. For best results, remove dough at the end of the program and follow the recipe directions for shaping, rising and baking.
This unit has a convenient Viewing Wmdow so

however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE
BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour) as this may cause the bread to underbake. Most of the moisture should disappear during the baking cycle.

How To Use Your Breadmaker
Mixing Paddle have a non-stick coated finish so that the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the
non-stick coating. If you have difficulty removing bread from the Baking Pan,
slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan over and shake the loaf out. Allow the bread to cool before slicing. If the Mixing Paddle remains in the bottom of your loaf, allow the loaf to cool then use a plastic spoon or rubber spatula to remove the paddle. Do
not use a knife or other sharp metal object as this will scratch the non-stick coating on the Mixing Paddle.
Using The ndd-Ingredient"
Function
/ All settings, except for Rapid Bake, have a built-
./ in "Add-Ingredient" function which signals with beeps when it's time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts. The beeps sound before kneading is complete to let you know it's time to add the ingredients. The actual time of the beeps can vary up to 5 minutes depending on the room tempera­ture at the time when you started the bread making
program. The following chart can be used for reference:

Setting The Timer
(For Delayed Completion)
Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the completion of your bread or dough/pasta. This
feature allows you to delay bake time for up to 13 hours. For example, it lets you set the TIMER at 7 p.m. one evening so that you can wake to fresh bread by 8 a.m. the following morning.
NOTE:
The
TIMER cannot be used with the Rapid Bake setting.
To set the TIMER, follow these instructions:
NOTE
Be sure you have followed the "How to Use
Your Breadmaker" steps
1-6
in preparing the ingredients in the Baking Pan. It is not recommended that you use the "Delayed Completion" function and TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients that might spoil such as eggs, fresh milk, buttermilk, or
cheese.
/ To set the TIMER, determine when you would
1
like your bread or dough to be ready. For exam­ple, if it is 8 p.m. when you place all your ingredients in the Baking Pan and you would like to wake up to the aroma of fresh-baked bread at 8 a.m., there will be a total of 12 hours before your bread is complete. Once you have entered the appropriate setting for your recipe (for example, if you are doing a Sweet Bread, you will push BREAD TYPE until the arrow in the display points to Sweet Bread), select the desired crust color and simply set the TIMER to reflect the time difference.
2
Since the setting choice (Sweet Bread)
automatically displays the bake time in the window (3:50), you simply have to press the "Up" arrow on the control panel until the display reads
12:00 for 12 hours. If you pass the 12:00, simply press

Q19:
Why does my bread rise and then collapse
or form craters?
Your bread may be rising too fast. To decrease the rate of
rising, try reducing the amount of sugar, increasing the amount of salt slightly, or reducing the amount of yeast. Refer to the "Trouble Shooting Guide" on pg. 12 for correct adjustments.
Q20 : Is it important for ingredients to be at room temperature before adding them to the Baking Pan?
No, as long as ingredients are not extremely cold or hot. Milk, eggs, butter/margarine, and yeast can be added
directly from the refrigerator with good results. When a
recipe calls for water, use lukewarm water since it's easy
to get from the tap.
Q21: Which kind of yeast is the best to use?
Yeast specially packaged for Bread Machines, Traditional
DryYeast, Rapid Rise, or Quick Rise Yeast, can all be used with good results. The most important thing is to be sure
the expiration date is not up. All the recipes in this
cookbook were developed using Bread Machine Yeast.
If you prefer to use Traditional, Quick Rise or Rapid Rise Yeast, increase the amount of yeast you use in the recipe by 1/4 teaspoon.
Q22 :
Sometimes when I cut my bread, it's too sticky and it falls apart or it starts to mash down and won't slice cleanly. What can I do?
If your bread is sticky or mashes down, it may be too hot! Be sure to allow 15 to 30 minutes for your bread to cool
before slicing. Place finished bread on a wire cooling
rack to let air circulate around it. You may want to try using an electric knife to slice bread instead of cutting it manually. An electric knife has blades that slide back and forth to let you slice straight through bread and avoid mashing it down by putting pressure on the top of the loaf.
Q23 :
Why did I end up with a short, dense,
doughy bread? Why didn't the bread rise?
The most common reason for unrisen bread is the yeast. Maybe you forgot to add the yeast. Perhaps the yeast was bad or expired (always check expiration dates). Also, if the mixing wasn't complete, you may have rising problems. Did you check to see if the mixing paddle was moving at the beginning of your cycle?
Q24 :
What will happen if I leave the bread in the
Baking Pan after baking?
This unit has a 60-minute "Keep Warm" cycle
that lets you leave the bread in the pan for up to an hour after baking is completed. Once that warming cycle is over, it's best to remove the bread immediately or the bottom of your loaf will absorb moisture and become soggy. The soggy part of the bread will not be as tasty when it dries out and it will go stale
quickly. The sides of the bread
may also become moist and mushy.

Troubleshooting
Specific questions about the breadmaker functions and problems with ingredients or recipes are addressed in the "Need Help?" section beginning on pg.
33.
If there is an operational problem with the unit, you may see a hyphen sign, colon and a double hyphen sign (-:--) message in the display window. This means there is an op­erational/mechanical
malfunction. DO
NOT USE THE UNIT.
Unplug the unit and contact your local service center for repair. Call the toll-free number on the cover of this booklet to ask for the location of the Black & Decker service center nearest you.
If the word "HOT" appears in the display
window, it indicates that the unit has not cooled
sufficiently after baking to use immediately again. Open the lid, remove the Baking Pan and allow the inside of the unit to cool. When the error message disappears, you may replace the Baking Pan and press START/RESET to begin programming again.
For specific problems with Bread/Dough results, see the Troubleshooting guide on the next page:

How To Use Your Breadmaker
Slicing & Storing Bread
For best results, allow loaves to cool on a wire rack
15 to 30 minutes before slicing. You may use an electric knife (such as the Black & Decker SlimGrip® Electric Knife Model EK100 or EK100-04) for even slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife with a serrated blade. For sandwich slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.
Store bread tightly covered (resealable style bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store
in the refrigerator. For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer. If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving. Since homemade bread has no preserva­tives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially-made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1/2" or 1" cubes and used in favorite recipes to
make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.
Care & Cleaning
CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, unplug the unit
and allow the Breadmaker to cool before cleaning.
For best performance and maintenance, it is recommended to clean the breadmaker after each use as follows:
Outer Body and Oven Chamber:
Wipe the outer body of the unit with a damp cloth
or slightly dampened sponge. Use a damp sponge
or cloth to wipe out any flour, crumbs, or other materials from the oven chamber.
Lid
This unit has a removable Lid for easy cleaning. Open the Lid halfway and pull it out towards you. Wipe it with a damp cloth
or slightly dampened sponge.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE LID in liquid. Clean the viewing window with a moist soft cloth
(not paper towel), then be sure to wipe it dry.
CAUTION:
DO NOT clean
win-
dow
with a
commercial glass cleaner!
When reinstalling the lid, be sure the slots on the lid
are fully inserted into the posts on the hinge of the Breadmaker. This will prevent damage when
closing the lid. If you feel resistance when you try to close the lid, stop immediately and reposition it. The lid should close easily without any force being applied.
Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle
Both the Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle have a non-
stick coated surface. Do not use any harsh cleaners or utensils on these parts as scratching may occur. Over time, the non-stick surface may change in color due to moisture and steam. This is normal and has no effect on its use or quality.
Remove the Baking Pan and Mixing Paddle from the
oven chamber before cleaning. Wipe the outside of
the Baking Pan with a damp cloth. Be careful not to
damage the rubber seal under the shaft. NEVER TOTALLY IMMERSE THE BAKING PAN in water. You can hand wash the inside of the Baking Pan with soapy water. The Mixing Paddle should be
removed from the shaft and the well under the
Paddle cleaned. A small amount of baked product
may collect under the paddle. If the Mixing Paddle
gets stuck on its shaft, fill the Baking Pan with hot water and soak it for
about 30 minutes or until it
loosens and can be removed easily. If the hole in the
Mixing Paddle becomes clogged, carefully clean it
out with a toothpick or soft kitchen brush.
CAUTION:
None of the breadmaker parts are dishwasher-safe. DO NOT place the Baking Pan, Removable Lid, or Mixing Paddle in the dishwasher.
Storing The Unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing and wipe any moisture from the Viewing Window To prevent loss,
you may want to store the Mixing Paddle on the
shaft. Close the Lid and do not store anything on
top of the Lid.

Questions About The Breadmaker :
Q 1 :
What do I do if the mixing paddle stays
in the loaf? Is this normal? How do I remove the paddle?
The mixing paddle may stay in the loaf when the bread is removed from the bread pan. This happens because the crust forms around the paddle during the baking process. Allow the loaf to cool before removing the mixing paddle
(the inside of the loaf is VERY HOT- you may burn yourself if you try to remove the paddle too soon.) When the loaf has cooled, use a plastic spoon or rubber spatula to remove the paddle. Gently insert the spoon/spatula into the bottom of the loaf and loosen the crust from the paddle. Pull the paddle out. DO NOT use a sharp object
(knife, metal utensil) as it will scratch the non-stick coating on the mixing paddle.
Q2:
Is there any time that I should not use the delayed start feature?
Yes,
when the recipe calls for perishable ingredients such as milk, cheese, buttermilk, or eggs. These foods should not stay at room temperature for an extended period of time. With some recipes, you may substitute powdered milk.
Q3:
Why can't the delayed time be set for more than 13 hours? What is the minimum time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 13 hours including the particular cycle time. For example, the Basic Bread setting takes
3
hours and 50 minutes, so it may be delayed up to 9 hours and 10 minutes. The delay clock increases in 10-minute increments.
Q4: Can I open the lid while the breadmaker is operating?
This breadmaker is designed with a window in the lid to let you watch your bread's progress. Quick checks are fine in the early stages of operation and of course to add ingredients when the beeper sounds. However, don't open the lid too frequently during operation as the change in air temperature may cause the loaf to fall. Avoid opening the lid once the baking period begins—the last hour of the cycle. Sometimes condensation forms on the window after initial mixing and kneading. It usually disappears once the baking cycle starts so you should be able to get a clear view of your rising loaf.
Q5:
Where is the OFF button?
Since the breadmaker shuts off its "processing" automatically once the bread or dough cycle is complete and the "Keeps Warm" cycle ends, there is no OFF button. However, the power light will remain on until the unit is unplugged or the Start/Reset button is pressed and held.
Q6: If the power goes out while I'm in the middle of a breadmaking cycle, will my Breadmaker continue to process my bread once the power comes back on?
The breadmaker will only finish making bread if the power returns within 20 seconds. Unfortunately, if your power outage is longer, you will have to discard the unfinished bread and start the process from the beginning.
Questions About Ingredients/Recipes :
Q7:
When do I add raisins, nuts, etc. to the
bread?
This breadmaker has an "Add-Ingredient" function that signals with an audible tone to let you know when you may add raisins, nuts, caraway seeds, etc. (NOTE: The time of the tone varies from one setting to another. Consult the "Add-Ingredient" chart on page 10.) The "Add-Ingredient" feature helps reduce the breaking up of added foods . If you are using the Timer and it is more convenient, you may add ingredients at the start.
Q8: May I use a sugar substitute in place of sugar?
Sugar is necessary for the yeast to produce a light loaf with a good height. Results may vary with the type and amount of sugar substitute used. If you are going to use an artificial sweetener choose one that is aspartame based rather than saccharine based.
Q9:
May I omit the salt or sugar from the recipe?
No, both the sugar and salt play an important role in the bread making process. Salt prevents the yeast from over-reacting and the bread from over-rising. The combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is a very important part of the bread making process. Remember that the total sugar and salt amounts are divided among all the slices, so the amount of sugar and salt per serving is small.

Q10:
When I make dough, it is very sticky and
difficult to work with. How can I handle it more easily?
Dough may be somewhat sticky at the end of the dough cycle. This is normal. For best results, turn it out of the Baking Pan onto a floured surface, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes. Lightly flour the board and your hands
when handling the dough. This will make it easier to
shape and divide. Once shaped, the dough must be baked in a conventional oven.
Q11: Can I bake products formed from doughs in my microwave oven?
No, once shaped, the dough must be baked in a conventional oven.
Q12: How do I know when dough is ready to bake?
Dough should have doubled in size.
Q13: How does the pasta come out of the Breadmaker?
This breadmaker includes a setting to make dough for
pasta. However, once the pasta dough is completed, it must be removed and shaped just like any dough must
be rolled, braided, or otherwise shaped. You may use a
pasta maker or pasta shaper (there are special pans— similar to muffin tins—to shape ravioli and some other kinds of filled pasta) to shape your pasta. Pasta dough does not need to rise, therefore it can be removed from the breadmaker according to the instructions in the recipes, see page 32.
Q14: Why do the loaves vary in height and weight? The whole wheat and multi-grain
breads are frequently shorter. Am I doing
something wrong?
No, it is normal for whole wheat and multi-grain breads
to be shorter and denser than basic white breads. Whole wheat and rye flours are heavier than white flour,
therefore, they don't rise as much during the bread
making process. They also typically have added
ingredients, such as oats, bran, nuts and raisins, which
contribute to the shorter height and denser texture. A 7-8 inch (19-21 cm) height for 100% whole wheat
bread and other multi-grain breads is considered normal while 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) is normal for white or other
basic breads.
Q15:
What is gluten?
Gluten is the protein in flour that makes dough elastic and allows it to stretch and expand. It gives your bread structure. The amount of gluten varies from one flour to another.
Q16: Can I use my favorite bread recipes in my bread machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the right
proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with the unit and make several loaves of bread before you begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of 4-2/3 cups (U.S) or 4 cups (Cdn.) dry ingredients (that includes flours, oats, cornmeal, bran cereal, cracked wheat, etc.). Use the recipes in this book to help determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and shortening (or butter/margarine) to use.
Q17:
Why does some flour occasionally stick to
the side of the bread?
There are many factors that may affect whether a dough
mixes completely or ingredients stick to the sides:
Dough may be too dry (ingredients may have been measured incorrectly).
Mixing Paddle was not placed correctly in the Baking Pan. Be sure it is pushed securely onto the shaft.
Baking Pan is not placed in the unit correctly. Be sure to "lock" the Pan into place.
Ingredients were not added in the recommended order. It is very important to add ingredients in the order listed in the recipe and to measure accurately.
Sometimes during the initial mixing period, small
amounts of flour and dry ingredients may get stuck to the
sides of the Baking Pan. When the loaf rises and bakes, the dry ingredients may stick to the bread. Once the loaf is removed from the Baking Pan and has cooled 10-15 minutes, the dry ingredients may be scraped off the loaf easily with a knife.
Q18: Can I make cakes and quick breads (breads that do not use yeast) in my breadmaker?
No, the breadmaker is designed to mix, knead, and bake
yeast breads. It is not recommended for use with
non-yeast foods, such as cakes, cookie dough or quick breads. These foods use leavening agents (baking powder, and/or baking soda) that react best with short mixing and baking. If you are looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, there are several recipes in this book for sweet breads.
