Last-minute Loaf – The Last-Minute Loaf is a fast bake cycle, which
goes through kneading, rising and baking in approximately an hour.
Mix-ins must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with other
basic ingredients. Please note: Because they are added at the begin-
ning, there will be no signal indicating mix-ins.
This function can come in handy when you cannot plan ahead for
bread making. The Last-Minute Loaf cycle requires the use of rapid
rising yeast. The kneading and rising of this cycle is suitable for
white bread recipes. Allow it to cool before cutting or allow to remain
in the bread maker for 60 minutes on Keep Warm cycle before serv-
ing.
Bake Only – This menu setting activates the bread maker for bake
function only, and can be set in 10-minute intervals up to 90 minutes.
You can use this setting if you want the nished loaf to have darker
crust colour (this will only require a few extra minutes, so keep your
eye on the loaf). Bake Only can also be used to bake store-purchased
doughs.
CYCLES OF BREAD MAKING
Knead – There are typically 3 knead cycles for most bread types.
The rst knead cycle will actually mix the ingredients. Mix-ins can be
added during the second knead. The one or two other short knead
cycles will punch the dough down before the rise cycles.
Rise – There are periods of resting in which the unit will not be active
except for the countdown display. These are rise cycles. A good rise
is as important to the avour of your bread as kneading and baking.
During the rise, the machine will appear inactive – the dough is “at
work”.
Bake – The Cuisinart
TM
Convection Bread Maker will regulate the bak-
ing time and temperature according to the individual recipe.
Convection feature – A fan circulates air throughout baking cycles
for better overall browning and crispier crust. The convection feature
runs during Bake Only and Keep Warm only.
Warm –
The Keep Warm cycle allows you to leave the nished bread
in the machine to serve warm. It also helps keep the crust from
becoming soggy if not removed from the machine immediately after
baking. Some crusts will darken slightly in Keep Warm mode. For best
results it is recommended to remove nished loaf as soon as baking
cycle is complete. Cool on a baking rack.
AUDIBLE TONES
Mix-ins – The signal consists of a series of four sets of 5 long beeps
each at 14 minutes before the end of the second knead (page 5, #8).
Remove Paddle – The signal consists of a series of three sets of 6
quick beeps before last rise (page 6, #11).
Baking Cycle Complete – At the end of the baking cycle a series of
10 beeps will sound when the cycle is done (page 6, #12).
Keep Warm Function – There will be a series of 12 beeps after the
completion of the keep warm function.
Jam Program Only – Tones will sound at 5 minutes and 10 minutes
into program (page 7) as a recommendation to clean sides of the pan
with a spatula.
Error Beep – There will be an error beep if you press an invalid func-
tion (page 5, #6 and #7).
