EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker Setting:
Making Bread In Under 1 Hour
Your OSTER® breadmaker can bake great bread in under 1 hour.
This is called the “EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker” setting. EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting
loaves are a little di erent from loaves baked on non-EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings.
Make sure to try the di erent settings to see which of them you prefer.
There are a few things you should know about the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings that
are di erent than the other settings.
• EXPRESSBAKE® 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 EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings. This would
cool the liquid ingredients and a ect the way that the bread rises.
• You CANNOT use the “Crust Color” buttons for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads.
• DO NOT open the cover while making EXPRESSBAKE® 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 EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads, but the
results may not be as good as the results when using the recipes within this book
EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker Setting Tips and Hints
Yeast
Always use a fast rising yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for EXPRESSBAKE® 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 EXPRESSBAKE® 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 our, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room
temperature. Always use bread our for the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker settings.
