PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or

tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

ELECTRIC POWER

If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Bread Maker may not operate properly. The Bread Maker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances.

POWER OUTAGE

7-Minute Power Failure Back-Up

Your Breadman® Automatic Bread Maker has a 7-Minute Power Failure Back-Up feature. If the electricity goes off, the memory will store the cycle in process for up to 7 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, the cycle will resume where it left off. If the Breadman® Bread Maker loses power for more than 7 minutes and you are using any dairy products, perishables or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to health and sanitary considerations.

For non-perishable recipes you may try starting the Breadman® Bread Maker at the beginning of the cycle again. However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread. If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the Bread Pan and place in an oven-safe baking container. Allow to double in size and place in a preheated 350ºF/177ºC oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done. Again, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf of bread.

If the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.

NOTE: Power Failure Back-Up does not cover surges. If you

experience frequent surges, please use a surge protector.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Unpack and clean your Breadman® Automatic Bread Maker; see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS. When the Breadman® Bread Maker is packaged for shipment, a clear plastic film is placed over the Control Panel; carefully peel it off.

2. Place the Breadman® Bread Maker on a dry, stable surface away from heat and away from areas where cooking grease or water may splatter onto it. Avoid placing the Bread Maker where it may tip over during use. Place away from edge of the counter top.

3. The Breadman® Bread Maker will bake up to a 2 pound loaf of bread. Do not put a larger quantity of ingredients into the Bread Pan than recommended. If you do so, the bread may not mix or bake correctly and the Breadman® Bread Maker may be damaged. The maximum amount of ingredients to be used is as follows.

• Bread cycles . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 to 4-2/3 cups

• Batter Breads™ and prepackaged cake mixes . . . 4 cups

• Dough cycles . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-2/3 cups

• Jam . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 cups fruit

4. Before first use, operate the Breadman® Bread Maker with an empty Bread Pan on the SUPER RAPID cycle to burn off the manufacturing oils.

NOTE: During first use, this product may smoke and/or emit an odor

from mineral oils used in manufacturing. This is normal for a newly manufactured appliance.

BREADMAN®BREAD MAKER TIPS

1. Remember to insert the Kneading Paddle first, then add all your ingredients BEFORE inserting the Bread Pan into the Baking Chamber of your Breadman® Bread Maker.

Inserting and Removing the Bread Pan

PLEASE NOTE:

2. To insert the Bread Pan in the Breadman® Bread Maker, seat it firmly in place.

3. To remove the Bread Pan from the Baking Chamber, hold the Handle with an oven mitt and lift gently. When you remove the Bread Pan after baking, BE SURE TO WEAR OVEN MITTS to prevent burning. After you remove the loaf (by turning the Bread Pan upside down and shaking gently), check to see that the Kneading Paddle is removed from the loaf. If it is stuck in your bread, use a non-metal utensil to gently remove it, taking care not to scratch the Kneading Paddle.

If, at any time during the bread making process, you need to turn the Breadman® OFF, press the START/STOP Button for a full second.

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS

It has been said that cooking is an art that relies on the creativity of the chef. Baking bread is much more of a science, since the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a chemical reaction that produces bread. You must remember that when the ingredients combine with each other, they produce a specific result. Read the following information carefully to gain a better understanding of the importance each ingredient plays in the bread making process.

All-Purpose Flour

All-purpose flour is a blend of refined hard and soft wheat flours ideally suited for making sweet breads and cakes. The most popular brands of flour have been tested for quick bread and cakes using the BAKE cycle in the Breadman® Bread Maker with excellent results.

Bran

Bran (unprocessed) is the coarse outer portion of the wheat or rye grains that is separated from flour by sifting or bolting. It is often added to bread in small quantities for nutritional enrichment, heartiness and flavor. It is also used to enhance bread texture.

Bread Flour

Bread flour is a high gluten/protein flour that typically has a higher gluten concentration than all-purpose flour. Using bread flour with the Breadman® Bread Maker will produce loaves with better volume and structure.

Cornmeal and Oatmeal

Cornmeal and oatmeal come from coarsely ground white or yellow corn and from rolled or steel-cut oats. They are used primarily to enhance the flavor and texture of the bread.

Cracked Wheat

Cracked wheat has a very coarse texture. It comes from wheat kernels cut into angular fragments. It gives whole grain breads a nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

Rye Flour

Rye flour must always be mixed with a high proportion of bread flour, as it does not contain enough gluten to develop the structure for a high, even-grained loaf.

Self-Rising Flour

Self-rising flour contains leavening ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake making. Self-Rising Flour is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your Breadman®

Bread Maker.

7 Grain Cereal Blend

7 grain cereal blend is a blend of cracked wheat, oats, bran, rye, cornmeal, flax seeds and hulled millet.

Vital Wheat Gluten

Gluten is manufactured from wheat flour that has been treated to remove nearly all of the starch, which leaves a very high protein content. (Gluten is the protein in the wheat that makes the dough elastic.) Gluten is available at most health food stores and in the baking aisle in many markets. It is sometimes used in small portions with dense, lowgluten flours (such as whole wheat) to increase volume and lighten texture.

Whole Wheat Flour

Whole wheat flour is milled from the entire wheat kernel, which contains the bran and germ. This high fiber flour is richer in nutrients than all-purpose or bread flour. Breads made with this flour are usually smaller and heavier than white loaves. Many recipes mix whole wheat flour with bread flour or vital wheat gluten to produce a high, light-textured bread.

Flour Storage

Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Keep rye and whole wheat flours stored in a refrigerator, freezer or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using.

NOTE: Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by virtue of how they were

ground, milled, stored, etc. You may have to experiment with different brands of flour to help you make the perfect loaf.

Yeast

Active yeast, through a fermentation process, produces carbon dioxide gas necessary to make bread rise. Yeast feeds on carbohydrates in sugar and flour to produce this gas. Three different types of yeast are available: fresh (cake), active dry and quick-acting. Quick or rapid rise or bread machine yeasts are quick-acting. Fresh (cake) yeast is

NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your Breadman® Bread Maker.

Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Once a package or jar of yeast is opened, it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated or frozen for future use. Often dough that fails to rise is due to stale yeast.

The following test can be used to determine if your yeast is stale and inactive.

1. Place 1/2 cup of hot (110ºF-115ºF/43ºC-46ºC) water into a liquid measuring cup.

2. Stir 1 teaspoon of sugar into the water and then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of yeast over the surface.

3. Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.

4. The mixture should foam and rise to the 1 cup mark. If this does not occur, discard this yeast and purchase fresh yeast.

NOTE: The basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using active

dry yeast. You may use the chart below to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick

rise, fast rise or Bread Maker yeast) for the active dry yeast or vice versa.

Conversion Chart for Quick Rise Yeast

3/4 tsp active dry yeast = 1/2 tsp quick rise yeast

1 tsp active dry yeast = 3/4 tsp quick rise yeast 1-1/2 tsp active dry yeast = 1 tsp quick rise yeast 2-1/4 tsp active dry yeast = 1-1/2 tsp quick rise yeast

1 TBL active dry yeast = 2 tsp quick rise yeast

Sugar

Sugar is important for the color and flavor of breads. It also serves as food for the yeast since it supports the fermentation process. Recipes in this book that call for sugar require granulated sugar. Do not substitute powdered sugar. In addition, artificial sweeteners cannot be used as a substitute for sugar as the yeast will not react properly with them. Honey may be substituted for sugar in equal proportions; reduce the liquid by the same amount.

Salt

Salt is necessary to balance the flavor of breads and cakes. Salt limits the growth of yeast. Do not increase or decrease the amount of salt shown in the recipes. Dietetically sodium-free (less than 5 mg sodium per serving) or low salt (less than 1/2 the sodium of table salt) may be used in equal amounts. The bread will be more coarse.

Liquids

All liquids (except water that is listed with specific temperatures for each cycle in each recipe) should be warm (80ºF/27ºC) for most recipes. Liquids, such as milk (1%, 2%, whole and skim), water or a combination of powdered milk and water, can be used when making bread. Milk will improve flavor, provide a velvety texture and soften the crust, while water alone will produce a crispier crust. Vegetable or fruit juices and potato water may be used for flavor variety.

Eggs

Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread dough and cakes. When the recipe calls for egg(s) at room temperature, large egg(s) should be used. Liquid egg substitutes may be used as directed on the carton or 2 egg whites may be substituted for 1 whole egg. They must also be room temperature.

Fats

Shortening, butter and oil shorten, or tenderize, the texture of yeast breads. French bread gets its unique crust and texture from the lack of fat added. However, breads that call for fat stay fresh longer. If butter is used directly from the refrigerator, it should be cut into small pieces for easier blending during the kneading process.

Baking Powder

Double acting baking powder is a leavening agent used in the PASTA cycle recipes. This type of leavening agent does not require rising time before baking, as the chemical reaction works when liquid ingredients are added and again during the baking process.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is another leavening agent, not to be confused or substituted for baking powder. It also does not require rising time before baking as the chemical reaction works during the baking process.

MEASURING YOUR INGREDIENTS

The most important step when using your Breadman® Bread Maker for making bread is measuring your ingredients. It is very important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient accurately. For best results, add ingredients into the Bread Pan in the order given in each recipe.

Liquid Measurements

Use transparent plastic or glass liquid measuring cups to measure all liquid ingredients. Place the cup on a horizontal flat surface and view markings at eye level. The level of the liquid must be aligned to the appropriate mark of measurement. A “guesstimate” is not good enough, as it could throw off the critical balance of the recipe.

Dry Measurements

Dry ingredients must be measured using standard size dry measuring cups. These cups are available in various sizes. Gently spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not scoop or tap measuring cup, as this will pack the ingredients. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe. Do not sift flour in bread making.

When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients (i.e. yeast, sugar, salt, dry milk, honey or molasses), a standard measuring spoon must be used. Measurements must be level, not heaping.

The Breadman® Bread Maker produces delicious baked goods with ease. This marvelous appliance asks only that you carefully follow the recipe instructions. In most cooking, a pinch of this and a dash of that is fine, but this is not the case for automatic Bread Makers. Using this Breadman® Bread Maker requires that you accurately measure each ingredient.
