rise, and bake, providing a heartier crust.

more than 50% whole wheat fl our.

proteins, all of which tend to increase browning.

but the texture will be fi ner.

Express Bake (2.0LB) - Use this setting for baking larger loaves of bread in under one hour.

that all ingredients being used are marked as gluten free. Note that wheat-free does not
always mean Gluten-free, you must read all labels carefully.

EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker Setting:
Making Bread In Under 1 Hour
Your OSTER® breadmaker can bake great bread in under 1 hour.
This is called the “EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker” setting. EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting
loaves are a little diff erent from loaves baked on non-EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker settings.
Make sure to try the diff erent settings to see which of them you prefer.
There are a few things you should know about the EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker settings that
are diff erent than the other settings.
• EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting breads tend to have a darker, thicker crust than other
kinds of bread. Sometimes there will be a crack in the top of the crust. This is because
baking is done at higher temperatures. They also tend to be shorter, denser loaves.
• You CANNOT use the Delay Timer for the EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker settings. This would
cool the liquid ingredients and aff ect the way that the bread rises.
• You CANNOT use the “Crust Color” buttons for EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting breads.
• DO NOT open the cover while making EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting breads.
• If the loaf is hard to remove from the pan let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Gently
shake the bread out of the pan and wait for 15 minutes before slicing.
• If you wish to bake another Loaf of bread, you must let the bread maker cool for
20 minutes with the cover open.
• YOU CAN use standard bread mixes for EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting breads, but the
results may not be as good as the results when using the recipes within this book
EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker Setting Tips and Hints
Yeast
Always use a fast rising yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker
settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.
Liquids
Always use hot water in the range of 115°–125° F. You must use a cooking thermometer to
gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.
Salt
As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker setting breads. Less salt
provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow your Oster® Breadmaker recipe
suggestions for best results.
Other Ingredients
Make sure all other ingredients (like fl our, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room
temperature. Always use bread fl our for the EXPRESS BAKE Breadmaker settings.
