Things You May Need to Buy
You should only use “Bread Machine”  our for the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting recipes.
You may need a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of the water
you use in these recipes. You should only use hot water (between 115° and 125° F)
for EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting recipes.
Although baking EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads is a little di erent, the results
and convenience are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one to try for your  rst EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting loaf.
Traditional White Bread 1–1/2 lb. loaf
Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tablespoons
9 ounces total) of hot water (115° – 125°)
2 tablespoons oil
(room temperature)
Instructions:
1 Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember,
it’s a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured
exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total).
2 Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between
115° – 125° F. When water is at the proper temperature, pour into the bread pan.
3 Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature.
4 Carefully measure and add the salt and sugar to the bread pan.
5 Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread  our to the bread pan. Remember to make sure
not to “overpack” the  our into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to  ll the
measuring cup to over owing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to
remove air pockets. Level o the measuring cup with the knife or spatula.
6 Before adding the yeast, use your  nger to form a well (hole) in the  our where you will
pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding
ingredients. Measure (again, leveling o ) 5 teaspoons of a fast-rising yeast and carefully
pour it into the well you made in the  our.
7 Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
8 Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The
following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will
turn on. The time setting will say “3:25” hours.
9 Repeatedly press the “Menu Select” button to select the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker
(1.5LB) setting.
10 Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear
the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.
Note: It is important that you DO NOT press the “Start/Stop” button while the breadmaker
is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn o and you will need to start over again,
from scratch.
Note: DO NOT raise the lid when using the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting.
Doing so can a ect the rising of the dough.
