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!

5

BEFORE YOU START

We have designed the Oster® Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker to be easy to use. But, like any kitchen appliance, it requires proper use and handling.

BEFORE USE

1.READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2.Make sure to remove all foreign matter from the baking pan.

3.Plug the Bread Maker into a properly wired outlet.

WHILE IN USE

Keep the Bread Maker out of the reach of children – ITS HOT!

1.The temperature is very hot during operation. Be careful to keep your hands and face away from the unit.

2.Do not open the lid or remove the bread pan during operation.

3.Do not place anything on the Bread Maker lid. Do not cover vents.

4.If any buttons are accidentally touched during operation, baking may stop.

5.If a power outage occurs, you can restart the machine if it has not begun the bake cycle. If it is at the bake cycle, then remove bread pan and place into an oven to finish cooking.

WHERE TO USE

1.Use only indoors on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

2.Do not use the Bread Maker where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources, such as a stove or oven.

3.Place the unit at least two inches away from walls. If you do not, the walls may become discoloured.

AFTER USE

1.Use oven mitts or a pot holder when taking out the bread pan after baking.

2.Make sure to disconnect the power by unplugging the unit. Allow the Bread Maker to cool down before storing.

3.Read instructions before cleaning. Do not immerse the unit in water. This will cause electric shock and/or damage to the unit.

BASIC INGREDIENTS

YEAST

Yeast is actually a microscopic plant; without it, your bread will not rise. When moistened by a liquid, fed by sugar and carefully warmed, yeast produces gases which cause 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.

If you prefer to use a fast-rising yeast, such as quick rise or rapid rise, merely decrease the amount used. As a general guide, we recommend using 1/2 tsp. of fast-rising yeast per cup of flour. Example: 3 cups bread flour would require 1-1/2 tsp. of fast-rising yeast.

Baking powder and baking soda may be used to assist yeast or on their own as leavening in quick breads which require no kneading or rising. Recipes with baking powder

and baking soda are different than yeast recipes. Leavening agents cannot be substituted for one another.

SWEETENERS

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.

FLOUR

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 flour, 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.

7

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. Water is the most common liquid used in bread making. It produces a heavier, crisper crust and a more open texture. Buttermilk results in a light, high-rising and tender bread; it will also help extend the bread’s freshness. To offset the acidity of buttermilk, add 1/4 cup of baking soda per cup of buttermilk.

SALT

Salt strengthens the gluten and controls the yeast and makes the dough more elastic. However, it also inhibits rising, so use ordinary table salt and be very careful in measuring. For dietary reasons, it can be omitted and in some cases you can use a vegetable seasoning substitute for flavor.

FATS

Any form of solid shortening or oil can be substituted for one another in some amounts. Fat enriches bread’s flavor and keeps it tender and moist. Do not use diet spreads or tub-type margarines as they will affect the quality. Butter adds flavor. The same amount of vegetable shortening or oil can be substituted if you choose. Salted or unsalted butter

may be used. Soft spreads will NOT work. Margarine is an acceptable substitute for butter; do not use whipped or diet margarines.

EGGS

Eggs add richness and color to breads, but due to health and safety precautions, do not use with the delay cycle.

8

IMPORTANT MEASURING TIPS

Because each ingredient plays such a specific role in relationship to the other,

it is especially important to measure the ingredients exactly to get the best results.

For Dry Ingredients, use standard measuring spoon or measuring cup – not a tableware spoon or coffee cup – and level off. For flour, simply spoon 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 often in the book, but it bears repeating:

Always put the liquids in first, the dry ingredients next and the yeast last. Before adding the yeast, dig a shallow hole in the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that there is absolutely no contact between the

liquids and the yeast; you do not want the yeast to be activated too soon in the process. This is especially important when you are using the Delay Bake option.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DELUXE BREAD AND DOUGH MAKER

The best way to get there is to use this map. Soon you’ll know the electronic bread-baking territory the way you know your own kitchen. In the meantime, here are some easy-to-follow directions to get you started.

THE CONTROL PANEL

IMPORTANT: When using the touch pad controls, be sure to press the pad until you hear a beep.

1.Display Window. The display will indicate the cycle selected (Number from 1 to 8) and the crust colour (L, P or H) until the Start button is pressed. Then the display shows minute-by-minute countdown during the cycle. The display will show “0:00” when cycle

is complete.

2.Timer. Use the Timer to delay baking.

The timer can be set up to 13 hours in advance. The panel has forward and reverse arrows. Arrows move time forward or backward in 10-minute increments. Holding the buttons down continuously will advance or decrease time more quickly.

3. Crust Colour. Choose from light (L), medium (P) or dark (H) crust settings; select “L” for the lowest setting to yield “light” crust; “P” for the default program setting to yield “medium” crust; and “H” for the highest setting to yield “dark” crust. Unit will automatically bake on the medium setting unless another is selected.

5. Start/Stop. Press the “START/STOP” button to start operation or begin the Timer countdown for delayed completion. (A signal tone will sound to indicate that the breadmaking cycle has begun). To stop the operation or cancel a timer setting, press and hold 2 – 3 seconds until you hear a “Beep.” The unit will return to its ready condition showing the time for the cycle you had selected.

NOTE: Do not press “STOP” when you are just checking the progress of your bread as this will cancel the cycle.

SETTINGS

Below are brief descriptions of the many different types of bread, doughs, pizzas, pastas, jellies and jams you can make with your new Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker.

Basic (1)

This setting is probably used more often than any other because it gives the best results with almost any recipe (standard white bread, raisin bread and more). Total cycle time is 3 hours.

Rapid (2)

The Rapid setting will make bread faster than other cycles. We suggest that you use the Classic White Bread recipe and increase the water by 1 to 2 Tbsp. This setting reduces the second knead and final rise times. Total cycle time is 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Sweet (3)

This setting is made for breads containing high amounts of sugar, fats or protein (cheese, eggs, etc.), all of which increase browning. It produces a finished loaf in 2 hours and 50 minutes.

French (4)

This setting is used for the preparation of French white bread. Due to the longer kneading, rising and baking times, the bread has a heartier crust. This entire cycle needs 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Quick Bread (5)

Recipes for this setting will use a quick-acting leavening agent, usually baking powder or baking soda, rather than yeast. Total cycle time is 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Whole Wheat (6)

This setting offers longer rise times to accommodate the slower rising action of bread containing more than 50% whole wheat flour. Total cycle time is 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Dough/Pasta (7)

This setting is used to prepare dough for rolls, specialty breads, pizza, pasta, etc., which are shaped by hand, allowed to rise for a final time and then baked or cooked conventionally. Total cycle time is 1 hour and 30 minutes. When cycle is complete, remove the dough and proceed with hand shaping, rolling, etc.

Bake (8)

This setting is for baking doughs or making jams or jellies. Total cycle time is 1 hour.

STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO USE YOU BREAD MAKER

1. OPEN THE LID AND REMOVE THE BAKING PAN by twisting the pan counter-clockwise and pulling it out. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit before putting the ingredients into the pan to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case.

Counter-Clockwise

While Lifting Up

2. ATTACH THE KNEADING BLADE onto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining up the flat side of the blade with the flat side on the shaft.

Make sure the Kneading Blade is placed securely on the shaft.

3. MEASURE ALL INGREDIENTS carefully and accurately. Inaccurate measurements, even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results. Add ingredients into the bread pan in the order they are listed. Yeast is always added last and must not come in contact with any liquid. (Before adding yeast, remember to dig a small hole in the flour so that the yeast doesn’t prematurely come into contact with the liquids or salt. This is especially important when you are using the Delay Bake Timer.)

4. WIPE WATER AND OTHER SPILLS from the outside of the pan; then rotate the pan counter-clockwise and reinsert the bread pan at an angle

with the right end of the handle in the upper right hand corner of the unit and the left end of the handle in the lower left hand corner; turn clockwise, applying pressure

to each corner of the pan to make sure it is snapped tightly into the retaining brackets.

5. CLOSE THE LID AND PLUG IN THE BREAD MAKER. You will hear a “beep” and the LED display window will show “1P” for “Basic” setting, “Medium” crust.

6. CHOOSE YOUR PROGRAM. Select the appropriate setting for your recipe

by pressing the “SELECT” button on the control panel. Each time “SELECT” is pressed the red LED light will scroll down to the next setting.

7. SELECT CRUST COLOUR. Your bread maker will automatically produce a “medium” crust colour (“P”= the default program) unless another is chosen;

select crust colour by pressing the “Crust Colour” button; “L” = low setting (light crust); and “H” = high setting (dark crust).

12

8. PRESS THE “START/STOP” BUTTON firmly once you have selected your bread type and crust colour. A signal tone will sound to indicate that you have begun!

The baking time in hours and minutes will appear in the display. It will count down the remaining bake time in one-minute increments until the bread is done. This bread maker has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded and baked. DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLES.

NOTE: Once the “START/STOP” button is pressed, the selected function(s) cannot be altered. To make any changes at this point, the unit must be stopped, reset and restarted.

To stop, press the “START/STOP” button and hold until signal sounds and screen reverts to initial display setting.

9. WHEN THE BREAD IS DONE. When the baking time is completed,

a signal tone will sound and the display window will show “0:00” (the “Colon” in the time display will continue flashing). The “Keep Warm” setting will automatically continue to keep the bread warm for one hour after the cycle ends (except when using the dough setting). For best results, remove the bread as soon as possible to keep the crust from getting soggy. Remove the pan using potholders and take the bread out of the pan by turning the pan upside down and shaking it. If you have difficulty removing the bread from the pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. If the kneading paddle remains in the bottom of the loaf, use the end of a plastic utensil to remove it. Once removed from the Bread Pan, it’s best to let your bread cool 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

10. KEEP WARM CYCLE automatically begins when the bake time is done. At the end of the 60 minutes, the heater will turn off. NOTE: You may remove the Baking Pan at any time during the “Keep Warm” cycle. To turn off the “Keep Warm” feature, simply press the “STOP” button and hold it for 2 – 3 seconds.

CAUTION: Steam will escape when the cover is opened. Be sure to use pot holders or oven mitts to avoid steam burns.

NOTE: Your Bread Maker includes an auto cycle recall feature. When a cycle

is completed and the “START/STOP” button is pressed, the unit will automatically revert to the last setting selected.

NOTE: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, allow the Bread Maker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed. If you attempt to use the unit too soon, it will signal and the display will read “H:HH”.

Press “START/STOP” until the screen reverts to the setting display and wait until the unit has cooled.

13

11. USING THE DELAY TIMER – You can add the ingredients into your bread pan and set the timer to delay the baking. Baking can be delayed up to 13 hours.

NOTE: Do not use the timer if your recipe includes fresh eggs, milk or other ingredients that may spoil.

Follow Steps 1 – 7 on the previous page to make sure to measure ingredients into the bread pan in the sequence specified in the recipe. Take special care not to let the yeast contact the liquid ingredients or the salt.

Then calculate the number of hours and minutes until you want fresh baked bread. EXAMPLE: If it is 8:00 and you want the bread to finish baking at 2:00,

the timer should be set at 6 hours.

Press the timer button once. The cycle length will appear in the display window.

Use the Timer button to advance the time in 10 minute increments. (Use Timer button to subtract time, if necessary). EXAMPLE: You have chosen the Sweet Setting and 2:50 appears in the display window. If you wish your bread to begin cooking in 6 hours, you will press the Timer button until 6:00 appears in the display window.

Press “START/STOP” to begin the Timer. The colon (:) in the time display begins to flash, indicating that the Timer is engaged.

When unit beeps three times and 0:00 appears in the display window, press “START/STOP” to cancel the “KEEP-WARM” cycle and remove the bread.

If you make an error while setting the timer and wish to start over, press “START/STOP” and hold until a beep sounds and the screen reverses to the original setting.

Timer is canceled and you may begin again.

NOTE: If you forget to press “START/STOP”, the Timer will not function.

When using the Timer Cycle for more than a couple of hours during times of high humidity or hot weather, reduce the liquid by one or two Tbsp. to reduce the possibility of overrising. Salt may be increased by 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. to keep the dough from rising too quickly and falling. Sugar can also be reduced by up to half the amount called for in the recipe.

12. REMOVABLE LID – Your new Bread Maker is equipped with a removable lid for easy cleaning and storage. To remove the lid, simply raise the lid just short of the vertical position (approx. 70° angle); while holding the base of the unit with one hand, gently hold the front edge of the lid and pull it to the right side so as to pop the left hinge pin out (you will hear a loud “pop” sound when the hinge pops out). Then simply slide the lid to the left to remove the right hinge pin.

and pull it to the right side so as to pop the left hinge pin out (you will hear a loud “pop” sound when the hinge pops out). Then simply slide the lid to the left to remove the

right hinge pin.

TIPS FOR THE

GOURMET BAKER

LAST THINGS LAST

You’ll see this tip in several places in this book, but it bears repeating: Always put the liquids in first, the dry ingredients in next, and the yeast last (fruits and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the first knead). Dig a shallow hole in the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that there’s absolutely no contact between the yeast and any liquids or salt. This is especially important when you’re using the Delay Bake option. You don’t want the yeast to be activated too soon in the process!

PLACEMENT COUNTS!

Place dried fruits, vegetables, and dried spices away from the liquid ingredients in the bread pan. If they soak up water, they can undermine the bread’s chemistry.

FRESHNESS FIRST

Avoid using perishable ingredients – milk, yogurt, eggs, or cheese – with the Delay Bake function.

JUST WAIT FIFTEEN

For best results, wait fifteen minutes before slicing; the bread needs time to cool.

DEEP FREEZE

To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely and double-bag in plastic.
