SALT
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 coarser.
EGGS
Egg beaters may be used as directed on the carton.
Two egg whites may be substituted for one egg.
REMEMBER, all egg products must be at room temperature.
Ⅲ Bread Mixes And Other Recipe Books
Use mixes labeled for up to 2 pound loaves. For best results, use the INSTA 5 program.
Bread machine helpful hints and recipe books are available at book and retail stores. They offer a
wide variety of recipes. Minor adjustments may be necessary for best results.
Ⅲ High Altitude
High elevations may make dough rise faster.Try recipe as printed first. If not getting good results,
decrease yeast 1/4 teaspoon at a time.You may also have to increase water; start with 2 tablespoons
and increase if necessary.The addition of gluten will help the structure of the bread. Add 1 teaspoon
per cup of flour.
Ⅲ Freezing Baked Breads and Rolls
Cool before wrapping in plastic wrap. Place in plastic bag and seal. Bread may be frozen up to six
weeks.Thaw by partially opening wrapping to allow moisture to escape gradually.
Ⅲ Freezing Dough
At the end of the dough program, you may remove the dough and freeze it for baking at a later time.
Form the dough into desired shape before rising and put in the freezer for one hour to harden.
Remove from freezer and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in a plastic bag and seal. Dough can be kept in
the freezer up to four weeks. Thaw the dough in plastic bag in your refrigerator overnight or for several
h o u r s. U n w rap and place on baking container. C over and let stand in wa rm, draft free place until
d o u bl e the original size. Because the dough is not room temperature, you will find it takes longer than
usual to rise. Bake according to recipe instructions.
