Setting Tips and Hints
Yeast
Always use a fast-rising yeast. DO NOT use
active dry yeast for ExpressBake
™
settings
because the loaves will be much shorter
when baked.
Liquids
Always use hot water in the range of 115°–125°F/46°–52°C.
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
™
breads.
Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow
the recipe suggestions in this booklet for best results.
Other Ingredients
Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.)
are at room temperature.
Always use bread flour for the ExpressBake
™
settings.
Things You May Need to Buy
➢
You should only use “Bread Machine” flour
for the ExpressBake
™
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°F and 125°F
or 46°C and 52°C) for ExpressBake
™
recipes.
Although baking ExpressBake
™
bread is a
little different, the results and convenience
are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one
to try for your first ExpressBake
™
loaf.

ExpressBake
™
Setting: Making Bread
In Under 1 Hour
Your SUNBEAM
®
breadmaker can
bake great bread in under 1 hour.
This is called the “ExpressBake
™
” setting.
ExpressBake
™
loaves
are a little different
from loaves baked on other settings.
ExpressBake
™
Setting:
• This setting can bake bread in 58 minutes. The bread is a little more
dense in texture with this setting.
• The ExpressBake
™
setting will only make a 1.5-lb. loaf.
There are a few things you should know about the ExpressBake
™
settings
that are different than the other settings.
➢
ExpressBake
™
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
™
settings.
This would cool the liquid ingredients and affect the way that
the bread rises.
➢
You CANNOT use the ”Crust Color” option for ExpressBake
™
breads.
➢
DO NOT open the cover while making ExpressBake
™
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 breadmaker cool for 20 minutes with the cover open.
➢
YOU CAN use standard bread mixes for ExpressBake
™
breads,
but the results may not be as good as the results when using
the recipe within this booklet.
