Tips for Best Results
• If using delay bake timer, make sure yeast is on top of flour, away
from liquids.
Important: Never allow dough to remain in bread maker after cycle is
complete; it may over rise and damage machine.
• Rising times for dough after it is shaped and placed in baking pan
will vary due to recipe, temperature and humidity level of your
kitchen. Optimum temperature for rising is 80°– 85°F. Rising is the
most essential feature in bread making.
• Bread maker allows dough to have first rise or fermentationbefore
dough is removed. Fermentation conditions gluten, (becoming
pliable and elastic with a soft, smooth quality) develops flavor and
leavens product.
• Sometimes a double rising is beneficial especially for whole grain
or 100% whole wheat bread. Let dough rise once in bread maker.
Remove from bread maker, punch down, let rise again, punch down
and let rest 10 minutes. Resting allows gluten to relax and makes
handling easier. Shape as desired and allow to rise until doubled in
volume. If only 1 rise is desired, remove from bread maker, let rest,
shape and rise as above.
• Baker’s Tip: Dough has doubled in volume when an indentation
remains after tip of a finger is pressed lightly and quickly into dough.
If indentation springs back, cover and let rise a few more minutes
and check again.
SPECIAL TIPS FOR MAKING DOUGH
Important: For use only with the Dough Cycle.
• Always allow optimum rising of shaped dough.
• Use pastry brush to apply glaze.
• Bake as directed in recipe.
Apply Just Before Baking:
Egg Yolk Glaze
For shiny golden crust, mix 1 slightly beaten egg or egg yolk with
1 tbsp. water or milk.
Egg White Glaze
For shiny, chewy crust, mix 1 slightly beaten egg white with
1 tbsp. water.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or fruit and/or seeds after glazing.
Lightly Floured
Sprinkle enough flour onto work area so dough can be handled without
sticking.
Shaped Rolls
Important: Once rolls are shaped, cover and let rise until doubled
before baking.
Cloverleaf Rolls
Shape into ½-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each greased muffin tin.
Crisscross Rolls
Shape into balls, setting 2 aside. Combine balls and roll into a ¹⁄8-inch
thick square. Cut strips ¹⁄8-inch wide and 2-inches long. Brush top
of roll with beaten egg. Place 1 strip across top of each ball. Repeat
process, placing second strip in opposite direction across top of
each ball.
Traditional Rolls
Shape into balls. For “pull apart” rolls, place dough balls with sides
touching in 8 or 9 inch round or square greased baking pan. For
“individual” rolls place dough balls 2-inches apart.
Crescent Rolls
On lightly floured board, roll dough to 12-inch circle. Spread with
softened butter. Cut into 16 wedges beginning at wider end.
Place rolls 2-inches apart on greased baking sheet with points
underneath; curve rolls slightly. If desired, brush with melted butter
just before baking.
