OPTIONAL SETTINGS - PAUSE FEATURE
Using the PAUSE feature
Uses for the pause feature are limited only by your imagination.
Bread dough can be hand-shaped into braided breads with
decorative crusts, rolled or layered into sweet or savory filled
pull-apart breads, or finished with a variety of glazes, crumbles
and toppings.
To pause the cycle, press and hold the START | PAUSE button.
The LCD screen will display a flashing ‘PAUSE’ until the
START | PAUSE button is pressed again to resume the cycle.
NOTE
The pause feature cannot be selected during the ‘keep
warm’ phase.
Here are a few ideas and techniques to get you started.
Decorative Crusts
1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1
tablespoon of water.
2. At the start of the ‘bake’ phase, press and hold the
START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
3. Lift open the lid.
4. With the bread pan still in the interior baking chamber, use a
very sharp knife or blade to cut a decorative pattern in the top
of the loaf (slashes, tic-tac-toe, cross, etc.) Carefully brush the
top of the loaf and cuts with the egg wash, careful not to spill
or drip the egg wash inside the interior baking chamber as it
will burn. Work quickly to limit the amount of heat loss.
5. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume
the cycle.
Braided Breads
1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus
1 tablespoon of water.
2. At the start of the ‘rise 3’ phase, press and hold the
START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.
3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking
chamber and close the lid.
4. Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.
5. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Stretch and roll
each piece into a 10” (25cm) rope. Place the ropes on a flat
surface side by side. Begin braiding from the center of the
ropes rather than the ends for a more even shape. When
complete, rotate the half braided bread and repeat the
procedure from the middle to the other end. Tuck the ends
under and place into the bread pan. Carefully brush the
top of the loaf with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if
desired, careful not to spill or drip the egg wash and seeds
inside the interior baking chamber as these will burn.
6. Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.
7. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume
the cycle.
