Tips and Hints for Last-Minute Loaves
When making Last-Minute Loaves it is important to remember a few things:
These breads are best consumed within 2 hours after preparing.
Allow the bread to cool before cutting to allow the structure to develop properly. Or allow
to remain in the Bread Maker for the 60-Minute Keep Warm cycle before serving.
When preparing these loaves, bring all solid ingredients to room temperature and
` liquids to 100°F.
It is necessary to use rapid rise yeast when making Last-Minute Loaves – do not substitute
instant or bread machine yeast for the rapid rise yeast.
The texture and rise of the bread is greatly improved by adding vital wheat gluten to the
mixture – in a pinch it can be left out, but keep it on hand for Last-Minute Loaves.
For a more classic/traditional bread, any of the following recipes may be made on the
White cycle – use instant or bread machine yeast, reduce the amount of yeast used to
2 teaspoons, and omit the vital wheat gluten. To prepare using the Rapid White cycle,
use 2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast, and add 1 to 2 teaspoons vital wheat gluten to
enhance the rising.
