C o f fee creamer, non-dairy creamer or dry bu t t e rmilk may be substituted for dry milk in equal proport i o n s.
Liquid milk 80°F/27°C may be substituted for water in equal proportions for all bread programs except fa s t
b a ke. The dry milk may then be eliminated all together. The loaf will be slightly smaller.
S a l t
Salt-free recipes are not successful. Dietetically sodium free (less than 5 mg sodium per serving) or low
salt (less than 1/2 the sodium of table salt) may be used in equal amounts. The bread will be more coarse.

Ⅲ HIGH ALT I T U D E
High elevations may make dough rise fa s t e r. We recommend that you try the recipe as it is printed first.
The dough ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. If you find the
results are unsuccessful, decrease your yeast 1/4 teaspoon at a time. You may also have to increase the
liquid because of the drier air; s t a rt with 1 tablespoon and increase it if necessary. The addition of gluten
will help the structure of the bread. The recommended amount is 1 teaspoon per cup of flour unless spec-
ified otherwise in the recipe.
Ⅲ FREEZING BAKED BREAD
When freezing bread and rolls, cool them before wrapping in plastic wra p. Place them in a plastic bag and
seal it. Bread may be frozen for up to six we e k s. When you thaw, partially open the wrapping to allow the
moisture to escape gradually for best results.
Ⅲ FREEZING DOUGH
At the end of the dough program, you may remove the dough and freeze it for baking at a later time. Fo rm
the dough into the desired shape and immediately freeze for one hour to harden. R e m ove from the freez-
er and wrap in plastic wra p. N ext, place it in a plastic bag and seal. Dough can be kept in the freezer fo r
up to four we e k s. T h aw the dough in plastic bag in the refri g e rator ove rnight or for seve ral hours. U n w ra p
and place on baking container. C over and let stand in wa rm, draft free place until double the original size.
Because the dough is not room tempera t u r e, you will find it takes longer than usual to ri s e . B a ke accord-
ing to recipe instru c t i o n s.
