Save These Instructions
14.
Use of extension cords: A short power supply cord has been provided to reduce the risk of injury resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from hardware stores and may be used with care.
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled by children or
tripped over accidentally.
15.
Electrical 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.
16.
Polarized plug: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
This unit is intended for household use only.

Bread Mix Instructions
1
. Remove the bread pan from the Bread Maker. Add
1
cup of
warm water to pan. Open bread mix packet and empty contents
into pan. Dig a small hole in the
breadmix
and add the yeast
packet.
2
. Insert the pan firmly into the bottom of the machine, applying
pressure to each corner of the pan to make sure it is snapped
tightly into the retaining brackets. If you are unsure, apply
pressure once more to each corner of the pan.
3
. Now press “Start.” Your bread will be done in the amount of
time indicated on the timer. When it is done, you’ll hear five
beeps. That’s the cue to take the pan out of the machine. A word
of caution, the pan will be hot, so use pot holders. It’s best to let
your bread cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
(There directions only apply if your Bread Maker has bread mix included.
Should you purchase bread mix from a grocery store or specialty store, be
sure to follow the instructions on the box for best results.)

A Symphony
of Ingredients
Like the instruments in an orchestra, the
ingredients in basic bread are very simple:
flour, sugar, salt, a liquid (such as water or
milk), possibly a fat (such as butter or oil), and
yeast. And, like each musical instrument, each
ingredient performs a specific job, and each
lends a special flavor to the final masterpiece.
That’s why it’s important to use the right
ingredients in exactly the right proportions to
ensure you get the most delicious results!
9
yeast
Basic Ingredients
Yeast is actually a microscopic plant. Simply stated, without yeast, your bread will not
rise.
When moistened by a liquid, fed by sugar, and carefully warmed, yeast produces gases which
power the dough to rise. If the temperature is too cold, the yeast will not be activated; if it’s
too warm, it will die. The Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker takes care of this worry for
you by maintaining just the right temperature in the baking chamber at all times,
YOU can
use either “active dry yeast”,
”
quick acting”,
“rapid rise yeast” or one of the new “Bread
machine yeasts” in your Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker.
Sugars
Sugars sweeten the bread, brown the crust, and lend tenderness to the texture. These jobs
can be performed by white or brown sugar, molasses, maple or
corn
syrups. honey, fruits or
other sweeteners.
In order for the bread to rise, the flour has to have a high protein content. You should
always use a “bread flour” (for white bread recipes) in your bread maker to get the
best
results. Do not use all-purpose, cake flour or self-rising flour.
Unlike white bread flour, whole wheat flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibit
rising. Wheat breads therefore tend to be heavier in texture and smaller in size. A lighter
larger loaf can be achieved by combining whole wheat flour with white bread flour for
wheat bread recipes.
Liquids
When liquids are mixed with the proteins in flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for
rising. Many recipes use dry milk, but other liquids, such as fruit juice, beer, and water work
too. It’s a delicate balance: A recipe with too much liquid may cause the bread to fall during
baking while a recipe with too little liquid will not rise.
Salt
Salt inhibits rising, so be very careful measuring. Any ordinary table salt will do.
Fats
Many breads use fats to enhance the flavor and retain moisture. Typically, we use margarine
in these recipes, but butter may also be used.
10
Important Measuring Tips
Because each ingredient plays such a specific role, it is especially
important to measure the ingredients exactly to get the best results.
For
dry
ingredients, use a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup --
not a tableware spoon or coffee cup -- and level off. For flour, simply spoo
the flour into a measuring cup and level off with a flat kitchen utensil.
For
liquids,
fill a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup to the level
indicated. Check your cup measurement by placing the measuring cup on a
flat surface.
For
solid fats,
fill a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup to the level
indicated and level off with a kitchen utensil.
Last Things Last!
You’ll see this tip in several places in this book, but it bears repeating:
Always
put th
liquids in first, the dry ingredients in next, and the yeast last.
Before adding the yeas
dig a shallow hole in the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that there
absolutely no contact between the liquids and the yeast. You don’t want the yeast to b
activated too soon in the process. This is especially important when you’re using the Dela
bake option.
Adding Fruits and Nuts
Fruits and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the first knead. The
machine will beep three times to let you know it is time to add fruit or nuts. If they are
added before the fruit nut beep, the fruit will be pureed due to excessive kneading.
If fresh fruits or perishable ingredients are called for in a recipe, (i.e., eggs,
cheese, milk) do not use the Delay bake option.
The Process Simplified
Mixing, Kneading, Rising,
Baking..
.here’s
a glimpse of how
the Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough
Maker automatically does all the
steps for you.
12
Mixing and Kneading
In standard bread baking, the baker mixes the ingredients
,
first by stirring, then by kneading the dough by hand. The
I
Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker mixes and kneads the
dough automatically for you.
Rising
When making bread by hand, the dough is placed in a warm
place to rise after mixing so that the yeast can ferment and
produce gas. After mixing the dough, the Oster Deluxe Bread
and Dough Maker maintains the optimum temperature for
rising during this part of the process.
If you are using the Dough Only cycle, the Oster Deluxe Bread
and Dough Maker will stop at the end of the first rising. You
will hear a series of 5 beeps to let you know it’s done. The
dough can now be removed and shaped
-
for bagels, pizza or
other creations
-
and placed in your own oven for baking.
Punch Down
Once the dough has risen, the baker will typically “punch
down” the dough. This process helps to break apart large,
unwanted pockets of air and gas that have developed
through rising, giving the bread a more even and appetizing
texture. This Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker handles
this process automatically for you by turning on the kneading
13
blade for just the right amount of time.
Second Rise
After it is punched down, the bread bounces back -- it rises a
second time. Some breads require shorter or longer rising times.
For example, wheat breads require a longer rising time because
the flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibit rising. The
Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker regulates the temperature
and timing of this second rise automatically for you based on
your selection.
Bake
The Oster Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker automatically
regulates baking time and temperature for perfect results every
time!
In standard baking, the baker removes the bread from the pan
immediately to keep the crust from turning soggy. We
recommend that you do the same with the Oster Deluxe Bread
and Dough Maker, too.
