Bread Machine Stages (for 2 lb. loaves)
It’s fun to watch your bread being made through the viewing window. For the basic cycle,
you can expect the following things to happen as the timer counts down to zero.
To begin: The ingredients are kneaded for the rst time (5 minutes)
At 3:20, the dough rests for 5 minutes
At 3:15, the dough is kneaded for the second time (20 minutes)
At 2:55, the dough begins to rise (39 minutes)
At 2:16, the dough is “punched down” (10 seconds)
At 2:16, the dough continues to rise (25 minutes and 50 seconds)
At 1:50, the dough is shaped (15 seconds)
At 1:50, the dough comes to the last period of rise (48 minutes and 45 seconds)
At 0:60, the dough begins to bake (60 minutes)
At 0:00, the bread is nished.
After the bread is baked
Caution: Do not put your face near the lid when you open the breadmaker, hot steam may
escape that could burn you.
Important: The breadmaker has an automatic “keep warm” setting that will keep your
bread warm for up to one hour, we recommend however to remove the bread from the
breadmaker right away to preserve its freshness.
1 Use pot holders or oven mitts to carefully lift the pan by its handle from the breadmaker.
2 Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it until the bread comes
out. If it sticks, take a rubber spatula (metal can damage the pan’s surface) and carefully
go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out.
3 If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use the included kneading blade
removal tool to remove it from the loaf, Remember, it will be hot!
Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying it.
Important: If you wish to make another loaf of bread right away, please allow the
breadmaker to cool down for 10 to 15 minutes with the cover open and the pan removed.
