Understanding Baking Cycle
Cycle Description
White This setting is used for breads that primarily use white flour, although
some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour. The
settings has the shortest overall times until baking is completed. Select
White settings according to Loaf Size and Crust Control.
Whole Wheat This setting is used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat
or rye flour, oats, or bran. It begins with a preheat or rest period during
which the flours or grains absorb the liquid ingredients. Soaking causes
the flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine well.
Generally, whole wheat and multi-grain breads are shorter and denser
than White, French, or Fruit & Nut. Select Whole Wheat and then Loaf
Size and Crust Control.
French The French cycle is for breads with crisper crusts, especially those that
are lowest in sweeteners, such as French and Italian breads.
Fruit & Nut Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, additional sugar or added
sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit or chocolate.
Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning. Select Fruit & Nut
and then Loaf Size and Crust Control.
Batter Breads This setting is used for recipes that contain baking powder or baking
soda rather than yeast to make bread or cake rise. Cake recipes made
from scratch must be specially designed for this setting. Use this setting
to prepare pre-packaged cake and muffin mixes.
Jam Use this setting for making jams from fresh fruits. Do not double reci-
pes or allow ingredients to boil over the pan into the Baking Chamber.
Should this happen, stop the Breadmaker immediately. Allow to cool
and clean thoroughly.
Dough This setting only makes dough and will not bake the final bread. Remove
the dough and shape it to make rolls, pretzels, and round or braided
breads. Then bake in a conventional Breadmaker.
Pizza Dough This setting is a special dough setting for pizza only and will not bake
the final bread. Remove the dough and follow the recipe for making
pizza.
Bake Only This setting will bake for up to 2 hours and is especially helpful if your
bread, batter bread or cake is not quite done. Check every few minutes.
Crust Controls
The LIGHT, MEDIUM AND DARK Crust Control settings let you choose your favorite crust color
and texture for most bread varieties, including Whole Wheat and White breads.
