Bread Cooking Guidelines
1. Muffins, coffee cakes, quick breads, and yeast
breads are generally baked on Cook Level 7.
2. Breads will not brown in a microwave oven as
they do in a conventional oven. For color, use
toppings or ingredients which supply color.
Some examples include rye flour, whole wheat
flour, brown sugar, or dark spices, such as
cinnamon. In some recipes, there may seem to
be extra topping ingredients left over. Use all
ingredients, since the bread will expand during
cooking.
3. When cooking muffins, use 6 oz. glass custard
cups or 6-cupcake capacity plastic tray. Line
custard cups or plastic tray compartments with
paper liners. Fill liners with 2 tablespoons of
batter to avoid having the muffins rise over the
edges. Arrange custard cups in a circle, rather
than in rows. Remove muffins from custard
cups or plastic tray immediately, to avoid soggy
"bottoms".

Place 2 tablespoons of batter into each plastic muffin
cup lined with paper liners. Muffins are done when

muffins from tray and place on cooling rack
immediately.

Top may look glossy but will finish cooking after five
minutes standing time.
4. Quick breads are usually fully cooked when
toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean. Some breads will look slightly moist
when first removed from microwave oven. Look
through bottom of glass dish to see if bread is
fully cooked. Breads should stand 3 to 5
minutes after cooking.
5. When reheating baked breads, heat only for a
few seconds. Reheat only as much bread as
needed for each meal. Wrap bread in a
microwave-safe paper towel or napkin when
reheating to capture steam and help keep
bread moist.

cooking time (non-turntable models, only).
