Although baking EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting breads is a little diff erent, the results
and convenience are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one to try for your fi rst EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting loaf.
Traditional White Bread 1–1/2 lb. loaf
Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tablespoons
9 ounces total) of hot water (115° – 125°)
2 tablespoons oil
(room temperature)
Instructions:
1 Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember,
it’s a good idea to view the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured
exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total).
2 Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between
115° – 125° F. When water is at the proper temperature, pour into the bread pan.
3 Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature.
4 Carefully measure and add the salt and sugar to the bread pan.
5 Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread fl our to the bread pan. Remember to make sure
not to “overpack” the fl our into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fi ll the
measuring cup to overfl owing, then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to
remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula.
6 Before adding the yeast, use your fi nger to form a well (hole) in the fl our where you will
pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding
ingredients. Measure (again, leveling off ) 5 teaspoons of a fast-rising yeast and carefully
pour it into the well you made in the fl our.
7 Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
8 Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The
following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will
turn on. The time setting will say “3:25” hours.
9 Repeatedly press the “Menu Select” button to select the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker
(1.5LB) setting.
10 Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear
the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.
Note: It is important that you DO NOT press the “Start/Stop” button while the breadmaker
is making bread. If you do, the machine will turn off and you will need to start over again,
from scratch.
Note: DO NOT raise the lid when using the EXPRESSBAKE® Breadmaker setting.
Doing so can aff ect the rising of the dough.
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups Bread Machine fl our
5 teaspoons fast-rising yeast
