Before Your First Use
Please fill out information that follows warranty.
Unpack and clean Bread Maker; see CLEANING AND STORING.
Place Bread Maker on a dry, stable surface away from burners and away from areas where cooking grease or water may splatter onto it. Avoid placing it where it may tip over during use. Place on back of counter top.
The 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 Bread Maker may be damaged. The maximum amount of ingredients to be used is as follows.
Bread programs — 4 cups Quick Bread programs – 4 cups Dough program — 4 - 41⁄2 cups
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.
POWER OUTAGE
Your Bread Maker has a 7-minute power interrupt feature. If the electricity goes off, the memory will store the course in process for up to 7 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, the course will resume where it left off. If the Bread Maker loses power for more than this time 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 Bread Maker at the beginning of the course again for all courses except FAST BAKE™. This may not always produce an acceptable loaf. 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 350°F/177°C oven for 30-45 minutes or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done.
If you are using the FAST BAKE™course or if the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.
The power interrupt will not cover power surges. If you experience frequent power surges, use a surge protector.

Helpful Hints for Bread and Dough
We recommend that you read the following information before you shop for your ingredients. Your Bread Maker will bake up to a 2 pound loaf of fresh bread containing 4 cups of flour. All ingredients except liquids must be at room temperature and liquids should be approximately 80°F/27°C (baby bottle temperature). When preparing bread for the FAST BAKE™program, all liquid temperatures must be 110°-115°F/43°-46°C. Always place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe: liquids, dry ingredients and then yeast. Some ingredient amounts are the same for different size loaves.
MEASURING: THE CORRECT WAY
Be sure to measure accurately for success. Mis-measuring, even slightly, can make a big difference in your results.
When you are measuring liquids, use a clear glass or plastic liquid measuring cup. To ensure accuracy, set the measuring cup on the counter top and read the measurement at eye level.
To measure your flour, spoon it lightly into a standard dry ingredient measuring cup and level it with a straight edge. Also, do not shake the cup or tap it on the counter top. Do not scoop the flour with the measuring cup as this tends to pack more flour than the recipes call for.
Use standard measuring spoons and level with a straight edge.

DOUGH BALL: NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL LOAF OF BREAD
We have found that liquid amounts called for in a recipe may need to be adjusted slightly because different climates and seasons result in a wide variety of humidity levels. You should check the dough ball at the beep during the kneading process, see program specifications. At this point, the ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. When touched it will leave a little dough on your finger. Push down any dough or flour that may be on the sides of the pan. If it does not form a ball and is more like a batter, add 1 tablespoon of bread flour at a time until it reaches the appropriate consistency. On the other hand, if the moisture is too dry to form a ball, forms more than one ball, or is a ball but not soft and slightly tacky, add 1 teaspoon of water and allow it to absorb. Add more water if necessary. Provided you have used all of the ingredients specified in the recipe, measured the ingredients properly, and have a “good” dough ball, you should achieve a successful loaf of bread.
Bread Maker Use and Care Guide

When preparing bread in the FAST BAKE™program, the dough ball will be a very soft, loose ball with a smooth texture and will be sticky to the touch. When touched it will leave dough on your finger.
INGREDIENTS: READ BEFORE SHOPPING
Yeast: The Number One Ingredient
For all programs except FAST BAKE™we used RED STAR®Active Dry Yeast when we developed the bread recipes. However, RED STAR®QUICK•RISE™Yeast may also be used. We found that we did not have to vary the amount used when we substituted one for the other. When using bread machine yeast, follow the package instructions.
When developing the FAST BAKE™program, we found that QUICK•RISE™or Bread Machine yeast must be used. They may be substituted in equal amounts. You will find that this program requires more yeast than other programs.
A 1/4 ounce package of RED STAR®Yeast contains approximately 21⁄4 level teaspoons of yeast. When the yeast is exposed to oxygen, moisture or warmth, the activity of it deteriorates. Therefore, we recommend storing yeast in an airtight container and refrigerating for up to 6 weeks or freezing it for up to 6 months. Measure out the amount you need and allow it to come to room temperature before using it — this takes about 15 minutes.
If you have any doubt regarding the activity of the yeast, you may use one of the following tests to determine its strength. Each test calls for a different amount of yeast as a base ingredient. This gives you more bread choices once the test is complete. The yeast mixture should not be used for the fast bake program.
1
To test for one package (2
4 teaspoons) of RED STAR®Active Dry or QUICK•RISE™Yeast, use a liquid measuring cup and fill to the 1⁄2 cup cup level with 110°-115°F/43°-46°C water. Stir in 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 package (21⁄4 teaspoons) RED STAR®Active Dry or QUICK•RISE™Yeast. Leave your stirring spoon in the cup. Set a timer for 10 minutes. As the yeast absorbs liquid, it will begin to activate and rise to the surface. If at the end of the 10 minutes the yeast has multiplied to the 1 cup mark, it is very active. The yeast mixture may be used in your Toastmaster Bread Maker in a recipe that calls for 21⁄4
teaspoons of yeast. Remember to adjust your recipe for the
1
cup of water and 2
2 teaspoons of yeast used in the test. The sugar does not need to be adjusted. To test for 11⁄2 RED STAR
®
Active Dry or QUICK•RISE™Yeast, use a liquid measuring cup and fill to the 1⁄4 cup level
with 110°-115°F/43°-46°C water. Stir in 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 11⁄2 teaspoons RED STAR
1
4
teaspoons of
®
Active Dry or QUICK•RISE™Yeast. Leave your stirring spoon in the cup. Set a timer for 10 minutes. As the yeast absorbs liquid, it will begin to activate and rise to the surface. If at the end of the 10 minutes the yeast has multiplied to the 1⁄2 cups mark, it is very active. The yeast mixture may be used in your Toastmaster Bread Maker in a recipe that calls for 11⁄2 teaspoons or more of yeast. Remember to adjust your recipe for the 1⁄4 cup of water and 11⁄2 teaspoons of yeast used in the test. The sugar does not need to be adjusted.
Flour: Bread Flour is Essential for Bread
All types of flour are affected by many factors, such as milling grades, moisture content, length of storage and manufacturing process. Adjustments to the recipes may need to be made to compensate for climactic changes in different regions to ensure an excellent loaf.
Bread flour is a definite necessity. Milled from hard winter or spring wheat, it has a higher protein content that makes it more durable than all-purpose flour. The protein, when mixed with liquid, becomes gluten.
9.
When kneaded, gluten becomes elastic and gives the bread better structure. In contrast, all-purpose flour, milled from a combination of soft and hard wheat, becomes elastic too easily for use in a Bread Maker and quickly loses its ability to stretch well. As a result, bread made from all-purpose flour will be smaller and more dense. Several well-known mills now market bread flour. It is labeled bread flour on the package and is available at grocery stores.
Wheat is the only grain that contains the type of protein that becomes elastic when kneaded. Other flours, such as rye, barley, oats, soy, rice and buckwheat add flavor and fiber to breads but do not add structure to the dough. Therefore, wheat flour is essential as a base when making bread.
Vital Wheat Gluten is produced by processing white flour one more step. White flour contains both protein and starch, and mills now can remove most of the starch leaving only the protein (gluten). When gluten is added to recipes containing whole grain flours, it improves the volume and shape of the loaf significantly. Many grocery stores stock gluten in the flour section. Health food and nutrition centers also carry this item.
Flour is best kept in an airtight container. If you are storing the flour for a long period of time, you may want to keep it in the freezer as the refrigerator tends to dry it out. Whole grain wheat flours, which have a higher oil content, will become rancid much more quickly than white flour and should always be kept in the freezer. Be sure, however, to allow all flours to return to room temperature before placing in the Bread Maker.
Fat: Dough Enhancer and Conditioner
Our recipes were developed using vegetable oil. You may use any type of oil or substitute in equal proportions solid shortening or real butter (divide them into small pieces). We have found no noticeable difference in flavor but the crust may be more crisp with real butter. We do not recommend the use of margarine as it tends to make the crust tough.
Liquids: Activate the Yeast and Bind the Dough
When we use the term liquid, we are referring to all wet ingredients used in the recipe. For all programs except FAST BAKE™, it is very important that the liquid temperature is 80°F/27°C. With this water temperature, the yeast activates gradually to accommodate these programs.
When preparing bread using the FAST BAKE™program, all liquid temperatures must be 110°­115°F/43°-46°C. The warmer temperature is necessary for the yeast to activate quickly to accommodate this specially designed program.
Eggs are also considered part of the total liquid amount. Eggs should be at room temperature. When removing them from the refrigerator, place whole uncracked eggs in a bowl of warm water for 15 minutes to bring to room temperature.
Cinnamon and Garlic: Not True Friends of Yeast
Previously, cinnamon and sugar were sprinkled on dough before it was rolled up jelly-roll fashion. Adding cinnamon and garlic to the dough in a Bread Maker, however, presents a problem. Cinnamon and garlic reacts with bread dough just as a meat tenderizer reacts with meat. It breaks down the structure. Although it smells wonderful as it is baking, the flavor is dissipated in the baking process. DO NOT ADD MORE THAN LISTED IN THE RECIPE. For more flavor, use cinnamon and garlic as spread for the bread rather than adding to the dough.
Fruits and Vegetables: Add Flavor and Nutrition
When adding fruits or vegetables to recipes, do not exceed the amount listed. These products, if used in excessive amounts, may inhibit the rising of the bread.

Salt: Regulates Yeast Activity
Salt is necessary to control the activity of yeast, causing it to work slowly and steadily. Without salt, yeast acts too rapidly. Salt also strengthens the structure of the dough. If too little or no salt is used, the bread will rise rapidly and then fall. The texture will also be more coarse and/or uneven.
Sugar: Food for Yeast
Sugar is the favorite food of yeast, but too much sugar will cause the yeast to over-react. The loaf of bread will be small and dense. Dried fruits also contribute sugar to the bread dough. We do not recommend adding any more than is specified in each recipe. In addition, we do not recommend the use of artificial sweeteners because the yeast cannot react with them.
SUBSTITUTES
In our test kitchen, we experimented with these ingredient substitutions. We do want to mention that your results may vary from ours. If you would like to try other substitutions, there are several helpful hint books available from retail stores to assist you. Of course, we cannot guarantee their results.
Eggs
Liquid egg substitutes may be used as directed on the carton. Two egg whites may be substituted for one whole egg. REMEMBER, all egg products must be at room temperature.
Milk
Coffee creamer, non-dairy creamer or dry buttermilk may be substituted for dry milk in equal proportions. Liquid milk 80°F/27°C may be substituted for water in equal proportions for all bread programs except FAST BAKE™. The dry milk may then be eliminated all together. The loaf will be slightly smaller.
Salt
Salt-free recipes are not successful. 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.
Sugar
Honey may be substituted for sugar in equal proportions; reduce the liquid by the same amount. Brown sugar may be substituted for white sugar in equal proportions. Yeast needs sugar — no artificial sweetener should be used.
Wheat Flour
For wheat-free bread recipes refer to gluten-free bread books.
Yeast
We used RED STAR®Yeast to develop our recipes. However, any brand may be used. Refer to yeast ingredient section for other yeast substitutes.

Note: The FAST BAKE™recipes were developed using the quick-acting Red Star™Quick•Rise™or Bread Maker yeast. DO NOT substitute active dry yeast in these recipes.
BREAD MIXES AND OTHER COOK BOOKS
Use mixes labeled for up to 2 pound loaves. For best results, use the basic program. Even though we offer a wide variety of recipes for bread and dough, you may be looking for one that we have not included in our recipe book. Bread Maker helpful hints and recipe books are available at book and retail stores. They offer a wide variety of recipes. Refer to the features section of this book for the best bread program to use for other recipes. Minor adjustments may be necessary for best results.
HIGH ALTITUDE
High elevations may make dough rise faster. We recommend that you try the recipe as it is printed first. The dough ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. If you find the results are unsuccessful, decrease your yeast 1⁄4 teaspoon at a time. You may also have to increase the liquid because of the drier air; start with 1 tablespoon and increase it if necessary. The addition of gluten will help the structure of the bread. The recommended amount is 1 teaspoon per cup of flour unless specified otherwise in the recipe.
FREEZING BAKED BREAD
When freezing bread and rolls, cool them before wrapping in plastic wrap. Place them in a plastic bag and seal it. Bread may be frozen for up to six weeks. When you thaw, partially open the wrapping to allow the moisture to escape gradually for best results.
FREEZING DOUGH
At the end of the dough program, you may remove the dough and freeze it for baking at a later time. Form the dough into the desired shape and immediately freeze for one hour to harden. Remove from the freezer and wrap in plastic wrap. Next, place it in a plastic bag and seal. Dough can be kept in the freezer for up to four weeks. Thaw the dough in plastic bag in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours. Unwrap and place on baking container. Cover and let stand in warm, draft free place until double the original size. Because the dough is not room temperature, you will find it takes longer than usual to rise. Bake according to recipe instructions.

The beeper will sound when the bread is done. Press the
START/STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep.
8
Hold the lid open while you remove the bread pan using oven mitts. If you do not stop the unit and remove the bread, it will automatically go into the keep warm process on all programs except for DOUGH. Your bread will be kept warm for 1 hour. You may remove the bread pan at any time during the keep warm cycle. To turn off the keep warm feature before the 1 hour is up, press the START/STOP button and hold it until you hear a beep.
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 pan removed. If you attempt to use the unit too soon, it will signal and display will read E00 or E01. Press Start/Stop until screen reverts to setting display and wait until unit has cooled.
Turn the bread pan upside down and shake to release the
bread.

Place the bread upright on a wire rack to cool 20-30 minutes before cutting. This allows the steam to escape. Be sure to remove the kneading blade from the bread.
CAUTION:
• The bread pan, kneading blade and bread will be very hot.
•Always unplug after use.
15.
Programming Delay Timer
The delay timer can be set to delay bread making up to 13 hours. At the selected time, delicious bread will be ready. The delay works for all programs except FAST BAKE™, DOUGH and BAKE.
Add all ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. It is critical to add the yeast last on top of the flour, and away from liquid. This will keep the yeast from activating until the Bread Maker starts to mix.
We do not recommend using the delay timer for recipes that contain perishable ingredients.
Select the PROGRAM, LOAF SIZE, and CRUST COLOR. Before pressing START, set the TIMER for the amount of time you want to wait before the bread is done.
EXAMPLE: It is 9:00 p.m. now. The bread is to be ready at 6:30 a.m. the next morning. Set the timer for 9:30, because there are 9 hours and 30 minutes between 9:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.
1. When pressed, the time will advance in 10 minute increments.
2. When constant pressure is applied to the pad, the time will advance quickly. Once you count up to 13:00 hours, the timer starts over again.
3. Press the Start pad. The time is set, and the colon blinks. After one minute, 9:29 is displayed, and the timer continues to count down in 1 minute increments.
NOTE: The Bread Maker will start when the timer has counted down to the start time for the program selected to begin.
