yeast. DO NOT substitute active dry yeast in these recipes.
BREAD MIXES AND OTHER COOK BOOKS
Use mixes labeled for up to 1 1 ⁄
2
pound loaves. For best results, use the basic program. Even though we
offer a wide variety of recipes for bread and dough, you may be looking for one that we have not
included in our recipe book. Bread maker helpful hints and recipe books are available at book and
retail stores. They offer a wide variety of recipes. Refer to the features section of this book for the best
bread program to use for other recipes. Minor adjustments may be necessary for best results.
HIGH ALTITUDE
High elevations may make dough rise faster. We recommend that you try the recipe as it is printed
first. The dough ball should be round, smooth-textured, soft and slightly tacky to the touch. If you find
the results are unsuccessful, decrease your yeast
1 ⁄
4
teaspoon at a time. You may also have to increase
the liquid because of the drier air; start with 1 tablespoon and increase it if necessary. The addition of
gluten will help the structure of the bread. The recommended amount is 1 teaspoon per cup of flour
unless specified otherwise in the recipe.
FREEZING BAKED BREAD
When freezing bread and rolls, cool them before wrapping in plastic wrap. Place them in a plastic bag
and seal it. Bread may be frozen for up to six weeks. When you thaw, partially open the wrapping to
allow the moisture to escape gradually for best results.
FREEZING DOUGH
At the end of the dough program, you may remove the dough and freeze it for baking at a later time.
Form the dough into the desired shape and immediately freeze for one hour to harden. Remove from
the freezer and wrap in plastic wrap. Next, place it in a plastic bag and seal. Dough can be kept in the
freezer for up to four weeks. Thaw the dough in plastic bag in the refrigerator overnight or for several
hours. Unwrap and place on baking container. Cover and let stand in warm, draft free place until
double the original size. Because the dough is not room temperature, you will find it takes longer than
usual to rise. Bake according to recipe instructions.
