How to Convert a Bread Recipe to a Bread Machine Instructions
1. Know the capacity of your bread machine: 1 lb., 1.5 lb. or 2 lb. ll the bread pan
with water in one cup increments, keeping count of the number of cups the pan
holds. Assume a one-pound machine holds two to three cups, a one-and-a-half pound
machine holds three to four cups and a two pound machine holds four or more cups.
2. Reduce the amount of total our in your recipe to t into your bread machine. Look
at the amount of all the our used in the recipe, even if the recipe uses multiple grains
such as rye our, wheat our and rice our. Use no more than two cups of our in a
one pound machine, three cups of our in a one-and-a-half pound bread maker and
four cups of our in a two-pound machine.
3. Decrease the amounts of all other ingredients by the same proportion as you did the
our. For example, an original recipe requiring 6 cups of our converted to a one-
pound bread machine would reduce the our by 2/3. Decrease all other ingredients by
2/3, so 1 tbsp. (3 tsp.) of yeast would become 1 tsp. of yeast; 2/3 cup (about 12 tbsp.)
of warm liquid would become about 1/4 cup (about 4 tbsp.) of water and 3 tbsp. Sugar
would become 1 tbsp. of sugar.
4. Bring all the ingredients to room temperature, unless your recipe species otherwise.
5. Put the ingredients into the bread machine in the correct order: liquids, fats (butter or
oils), liquid milk, salt, sugar or sweetener, dried spices or seasonings, whole wheat
our, all other ours and yeast.
6. Replace all of the white our in the recipe with bread our or add one tbsp. of vital wheat
gluten to the recipe with the ours when putting the ingredients into the bread machine.
7. Plug in the machine and set it for a normal loaf.
8. Wait for your bread machine to do the work and listen for the timer to go off.
9. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the bread pan before turning the loaf onto a cooling rack
to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy a homemade loaf of warm bread.
