Meet Your Toastmaster Bread Box™
BREAD & BUTTER MAKER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Toastmaster Bread Box™! With eight BAKE settings,
a DOUGH setting and a BUTTER CHURN setting to choose from, you are on your way to
enjoying the fresh baked goodness of all sorts of homemade breads topped with freshly
churned butter. You can gather and measure the ingredients in just a few minutes. The
Toastmaster Bread Box™does the rest of the work with automatic ease and efficiency-combining and mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough, timing the resting and rising periods,
shaping the dough, and baking a beautiful high-rising loaf of fragrant fresh bread.
If you want to make rolls, coffee cakes, or breads in special shapes, the Toastmaster Bread
Box™will prepare the dough for you, the tricky part. Another great feature of the Toastmaster
Bread Box™ is the Delayed Finish which allows you to delay completion of your bread or
dough. You can add ingredients in the evening and have warm, fresh-baked bread for breakfast, or have the dough ready to shape into cinnamon rolls for brunch.
Making butter in the Toastmaster Bread & Butter Maker is as easy as 1 - add heavy whipping
cream, 2- select Butter Churn program, 3 - remove fresh butter.
Before you start, using the T oastmaster Bread Box™, carefully read the information and guide lines, so that your first attempt is a successful one.

ALTITUDE CHART
The altitude chart is not a recipe but a guide to use to change key ingredients in a recipe if it
doesn’t work as printed.
All recipes were developed at sea level - approximately.Adjustments may be necessary if your
altitude is 2000 feet or higher.
Try the recipe as printed first unless you have experimented on other recipes and have an idea
of what to change.
REMEMBER only change one ingredient in the recipe at a time. Then use this as a guide to
change other recipes.
The following chart is for a 1 pound loaf of bread using 2 cups of bread flour in an automatic
bread machine.

1.Atmospheric pressure is less at high elevations which makes the dough rise faster. In
Utah, the dough can rise 21⁄2 to 3 times its volume in the first rising before it is ready to
punch down. Recipes need less yeast as the altitude increases to slow the rising so that
the dough has time to develop a good flavor and texture. The higher the altitude, the
greater the internal pressure on baked goods; therefore, the faster they rise.
2 .Sugar weakens the cell structure of the dough so it must be reduced to have adequate
rising.
3.Salt is increased to avoid overproofing.
4.The addition of gluten helps to protect the cell structure of the dough from over stretching so that it doesn’t have a coarse texture, and the product will not fall. The automatic
bread machine tends to over knead at higher altitudes making it necessary to add gluten
to the recipe.
5.Liquids evaporate faster at higher altitudes. If the bread is not rising enough, it is a moisture problem and not the yeast.
More Information :
Flour is very dry at high altitudes; thus, it absorbs more liquid. In many cases, less flour is necessary to achieve the proper dough consistency.
Use yeast before expiration date. Use regular active dry yeast or quick or rapid rise yeast, not
compressed yeast. If using bulk yeast, keep refrigerated or frozen. If using jarred yeast and it
has been open more than 2 months, check its freshness with the following test.
To test yeast, use a liquid measuring cup and fill to the 1⁄2 cup level with warm water (11 0 ° 115°F). Add 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 21⁄4 teaspoons of yeast. In 3 or 4 minutes, it will
have absorbed enough liquid to activate and will start rising to the surface. If at the end of 10
minutes, the yeast has multiplied to the 1 cup mark, it is very active. The yeast mixture may be
used immediately in your Toastmaster Bread Box in any recipe calling for 21⁄4 teaspoons of
yeast. (Remember to adjust your recipe for the 1⁄2 cup of water used in the test and do not add
additional yeast.)

BEFORE YOU BAKE
REFER TO USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK THE PARTS
Get familiar with machine.
• Read the use and care guide carefully.
• Examine the removable parts . . . the bread pan
and kneading blade.
• Return these parts to the machine to get the
feel of how they fit securely into position.
The Bread Box™ is a completely computerized
appliance that proceeds automatically once you
press the right pads on the control panel.
Here’s how it works :
• Remove bread pan from machine, making sure
kneading blade is in position. Add ingredients to
bread pan as directed in recipe.
• Return bread pan to the machine, pressing until
it clicks in place.
• Close outer lid.
• Plug in machine. The display panel will show
0:00.
• Press the SELECT pad to find the desired
BAKE or DOUGH setting. The setting selected
will appear in the display window.
• Press STA RT. The machine will begin the
selected setting. WHOLE WHEAT s e t t i n g s
begin with a preheat period. All other settings
begin with a “knead” period.
• At the series of 3 “beeps,” the bread or dough is
completed.
• Press top for more than two seconds.
• Unplug machine.
• If machine is not turned off, the keep warm
f u n c t i o n will automatically turn on after the bake
cycle. It will remain on for up to 60 minutes.
• When removing bread, invert the bread pan
using hot pads or mitts. Shake loaf from pan.
For dough, simply remove by hand and proceed
as recipe instructs.
• Cool bread on wire rack.
• After bread is cool, remove kneading blade if it
is embedded in bread. See use and care guide.
TAKE HEED
There are a few precautions that should be
f o l l o w e d while using the Bread Box™. See use
and care guide.
CHOOSE A SETTING
The Bread Box™ can perform the following
f u n c t i o n s simply by pressing various pads on the
control panel.
• BAKE settings - There are eight BAKE settings.
To make a loaf of bread from start to finish,
press the SELECT pad until the desired BAKE
setting number appears in the display window.
(Example: 1 for Basic Light, 2 for Basic Medium,
etc.) For best results use the program number
(1, 2 or 3) suggested for the specific recipe. If
you desire a different crust color you can
change the program number. Generally
Program number 1 is a light color, number 2 is
a medium crust and number 3 is darkest.
When changing from the suggested program you
may find different results such as a diff e r e n t
t e x t u r e crust, or a different shape on the top of
the loaf, etc. This is a result of different times in
each of the various stages of breadmaking from
Program to Program.
• DOUGH setting - Press the SELECT pad until
the DOUGH setting (the number 9 appears in
the display window.)
• If you make a mistake in selecting a setting,
press STOP for 2 seconds. This will clear the
display window. Press SELECTagain to find the
setting you desire.
DELAYED FINISH
Now you can make a loaf of bread or start the
dough for dinner rolls without even being home.
The Bread Box™ has a Delayed Finish feature
that will automatically start the BAKE or DOUGH
setting you have selected.
You can choose from the BASIC, WHOLE
WHEAT, FRENCH or SWEET BAKE or DOUGH
settings when using this feature. Just select
which setting you wish to use. Now, calculate the
number of hours between the present time and
the time when you wish to have the bread
f i n i s h e d or the dough ready to be removed and
shaped. The maximum amount of time that can
be programmed is 12 hours.
If may be necessary to reduce the amount of
l i q u i d in some recipes when using the delayed
timer. For some one-pound loaf recipes, reduce
liquid 1-2 teaspoons, one and one-half pound
recipes 1 tablespoon and two-pound loaf recipes
1-2 tablespoons.
The order in which ingredients are added to the
bread pan for Delayed Finish is critical. Liquids
must be added first, followed by oil and dry ingredients. Yeast should be added last. For best
b a k i n g results, pile dry ingredients along one wall
of bread pan with yeast on top. This keeps the
yeast farthest from the liquid ingredients and
helps to delay activation. For delay finish
DOUGH setting, remember to remove the dough
as soon as the cycle is complete, shape and bake
according to the recipe being used.
CLEANING YOUR BREAD BOX™
• Unplug and wipe out the interior of the machine
with a damp cloth after each use. Wipe the
removable parts and rinse thoroughly to remove
any remaining detergent which can have an
adverse effect on the yeast.
• Do not use strong detergents or wash in dishw a s h e r. Warm water is usually all that is needed
to clean the bread pan and kneading blade.
• Do not immerse the bread pan in water. Instead,
fill the pan with warm water to “unstick” any
cooked-on dough.
• Do not use any cleansers, scratchy pads, or
anything that could scratch the surface of the
bread pan or kneading blade.
