Measuring Ingredients
The most important secret of making bread is
exact measurements. With wet ingredients,
use the provided measuring cup. After filling
the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface
and view it at eye level to make sure the
amount of liquid is exact.
With dry ingredients, always “level off” the
measurement with the back of a knife or a
spatula to make sure the measurement is
exact.
Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to
scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By
scooping, you could add up to one tablespoon
of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup
with a spoon before leveling off.
Ingredient order is important
The second most important secret of making
bread is putting the ingredients into the
bread maker in the exact order given in the
recipe.
This means:
- FIRST, liquid ingredients
- SECOND, dry ingredients
- LAST, yeast
Temperature of Ingredients
Ensure all ingredients are at room
temperature unless otherwise noted in the
recipe.
Temperatures too low or too high can affect
the way the bread rises and bakes. It’s a
good idea to start with all new, fresh
ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast).
Hints and Tips
The ExpressBake
TM
allows you to delay the
completion of your bread by up to 13 hours,
so you can wake up to the smell of freshly
baked bread, or go out for the day while your

does all the work.
Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the
recipe has perishable ingredients such as
milk, eggs or cheese as these may spoil.
