STEP 3
STEP 4
Place the ingredients into the Bread Pan.
For best results, add all liquid ingredients
first. Then, beginning with the salt, add
all dry ingredients EXCEPT yeast.
ALWAYS ADD YEAST LAST.
Note: If your recipe contains salt, please
add it with the liquid ingredients,
keeping it away from the yeast. Salt may
interact with the yeast, reducing the
ability of the bread to rise.
Make a small indentation on top of the
dry ingredients (not so deep it reaches
the wet layer) and add the yeast to the
indentation.
This order of adding ingredients is
important, especially when using the
Timer, because it keeps the yeast away
from the liquid ingredients until it’s time
to knead them together. (Liquid
ingredients will prematurely activate
the yeast.)

MAKING DOUGH AND BAKING BREAD (continued)
This Breadman
®
Plus has a vertical style loaf pan. This feature, in combination with the
PAUSE button, lets you be very creative with bread machine baking.
When you press and hold PAUSE for a full 2 seconds, the Breadman
®
Plus will stay “on
hold” for up to 10 minutes. You can press PAUSE at any time, during any cycle.
To activate the PAUSE mode, press and hold PAUSE for 2 seconds. You will hear a
beep when the pause begins.
To resume the cycle, press START and the machine will start again at the point where
it left off. If you forget to press START, the machine will automatically reactivate after
10 minutes have elapsed.
Using the PAUSE will let you do some of the following:
• Decorative crusts • Braided breads • Add crumble toppings
• Pull-apart rolls • Monkey breads
to coffee cakes
•Create rustic-style, Mediterranean-styled rolled bread.
Here’s a quick example of a rolled, Mediterranean-style bread using a French
bread recipe:
Activate PAUSE at the end of the Knead 3 (see Kneading and Baking cycle Charts for
time details).
Remove the dough. Roll it out on a clean, lightly floured surface. You’ll want to roll the
dough into an 8-1/2˝ x 13˝ rectangle.
Lightly brush with good olive oil, such as Tassos. Then, sprinkle with fresh chopped
garlic, basil, rosemary, and sun-dried tomatoes. Top with 1/3 cup of crumbled feta or
goat cheese. If you would like, you could even add 2-3 slices of prosciutto.
You can remove the Kneading Paddle from the Pan and set it aside. It is no longer
necessary for this recipe.
Roll the dough up tightly into an 8-1/2” wide roll. Tuck the ends under and place
into the Bread Pan. Return the Bread Pan to the Breadmaker, close the Lid and
press START.
The final rise will begin, immediately followed by BAKE.
As the baking begins, you could PAUSE again. You can score the top crust, gently mist
the loaf with cold water, return the Bread Pan to the Oven, close the Lid and touch
START. Your rustic, alfresco Mediterranean bread will soon finish baking.
Note: Do not leave the Lid standing open for extended periods of time.
ALWAYS use an oven mitt when handling the pan and follow the Important
Safeguards found in the beginning of this book.
