ASYMPHONY OF INGREDIENTS

Like the instruments in an orchestra, the ingredients in basic bread are very

simple: flour, sugar, salt, a liquid (such as water or milk), possibly a fat

(such as butter or oil) and yeast.And, like each musical instrument,

each ingredient performs a specificjob, and each lends a special flavor

to the final masterpiece.

That'swhy it's important to use the right ingredients in exactly the right

proportions to ensure you get the most delicious results!

BASI(INGREDIENTS

YEAST

Yeastis actually a microscopic plant; without it, your bread

will not rise. When moistenedby a liquid, fed by sugar and

carefully warmed,yeastproducesgaseswhich causethe dough

to rise. Ifthe temperatureis too cold, the yeastwill notbe

activated;if it's too warm, it will die. The Oster:_)DeluxeBread

and Dough Makertakes careof this worry for you by

maintainingjust the right temperaturein the baking chamberat

all times. You can use either "active dry yeast," "quick acting," "rapid rise yeast" or one of

the new "bread machineyeasts" in your Oster:_)DeluxeBreadand Dough Maker.

If you preferto use a fast-rising yeast, suchas quick rise or rapid rise, merelydecrease

the amount used.As a generalguide, we recommendusing 1/2 tsp. of fast-rising yeast

per cup of flour. Example:3cups breadflour would require 1-1/2 tsp. of fast-rising yeast.

Baking powder and baking soda maybe used to assistyeast or on their own as leavening

in quick breads which require no kneadingor rising. Recipeswith baking powder

and baking soda aredifferent than yeast recipes.Leaveningagentscannotbe substituted

for one another.

SWEETENERS

Sugars sweetenthe bread, brown the crust and lend

tendernessto the texture.Thesejobs can be performed

by white or brown sugar,molasses,mapleor corn syrups,

honey,fruits or other sweeteners.

FLOUR

In order for the breadto rise, the flour has to have

a high protein content,You should alwaysuse

a "bread flour" (for white breadrecipes) in your

breadmakerto get the bestresults, Do not use

all-purpose flour, cakeflour or self-rising flour,

Unlike white breadflour, whole wheatflour

contains bran andwheatgerm which inhibit rising,

Wheatbreadsthereforetend to be heavier in texture

and smaller in size,A lighter, largerloaf can be

achievedby combining whole wheatflour with

white breadflour for wheatbreadrecipes,

LIQUIDS

When liquids are mixed with the proteins in flour,

gluten is formed. Gluten is necessaryfor rising.

Many recipesuse dry milk, but other liquids,

such as fruitjuice, beerandwaterwork, too. It'sa

delicatebalance:A recipewith too much liquid

maycausethe breadto fall during baking while a

recipe with too little liquid will not rise. Wateris

the most common liquid used in breadmaking.

It producesa heavier,crisper crust anda more

opentexture. Buttermilkresults in a light,

high-rising and tender bread; it will also help

extendthe bread'sfreshness.To offsetthe acidity

of buttermilk, add 1/4 cup of baking soda per cup

of buttermilk.

SALT

Salt strengthensthe gluten and controls the yeastand

makesthe dough moreelastic. However,it also inhibits

rising, so use ordinary table salt and bevery careful in

measuring. For dietary reasons,it can be omitted and in

somecasesyou can use a vegetableseasoningsubstitute

for flavor.

FATS

Any form of solid shortening or oil can be

substituted for oneanother in someamounts,

Fatenrichesbread'sflavor and keepsit tender

and moist, Do not use diet spreadsor tub-type

margarinesas they will affectthe quality,

Butteradds flavor, The sameamount of

vegetableshorteningor oil can be substituted

if you choose, Saltedor unsaltedbutter

maybe used, Soft spreadswill NOTwork,

Margarine is an acceptablesubstitute for butter;

do not use whipped or diet margarines,

EGGS

Eggsadd richness and color to breads,but dueto health andsafetyprecautions,

do not use with the delay cycle.

IHPORTANTHEASIIRINGTiPs

Becauseeach ingredient plays such a specific role in relationship to the other,

it is especially importantto measurethe ingredientsexactlyto get the best results.

For Dry Ingredients, use standardmeasuringspoon or

measuringcup - not atablewarespoon or coffee cup -

and level off. For flour, simply spoon the flour into a

measuringcup and level off with a flat kitchen utensil.

For Liquids, fill a standardmeasuringspoon or

measuringcup to the level indicated.Checkyour cup

measurementby placing the measuringcup on a flat

surface.

For Solid Fats, fill a standardmeasuringspoon or

measuringcup to the level indicatedand level off with a

kitchen utensil.

LASTTHINGSLAST!

You'll seethis tip often in the book, but it bears repeating:

Always put the liquids in first, the dry ingredients

next and the yeast last. Beforeadding the yeast,dig a

shallow hole in the dry ingredientsand placethe yeast in

the hole so that there is absolutely no contactbetweenthe

liquids andthe yeast;you do not want the yeastto beactivatedtoo soon in the process.

This is especially importantwhen you areusing the Belay Bake option.

SETTINGS

Below arebrief descriptionsof the manydifferent types of bread, doughs,pizzas,pastas,

jellies andjams you can makewith your new Oster_' DeluxeBreadand Dough Maker.

•Basic (1)

This setting is probably used more often than any other becauseit givesthe best

results with almost any recipe (standardwhite bread,raisin breadand more),

Totalcycle time is 3 hours,

•Rapid (2)

The Rapidsetting will makebreadfasterthan other cycles. We suggestthat you use the

Classic White Breadrecipe and increasethe water by 1to 2 Tbsp. This setting reduces

the second kneadand final rise times. Totalcycle time is 2 hours and 20 minutes.

• Sweet (3)

This setting is madefor breads containing high amounts of sugar,fats or protein

(cheese,eggs, etc,),all of which increasebrowning, It producesa finished loaf

in 2 hours and 50 minutes,

•French (4)

This setting is used for the preparationof Frenchwhite bread, Dueto the longer

kneading,rising and baking times, the breadhas a heartiercrust, This entire cycle

needs 3 hours and 50 minutes,

• Quick Bread (5)

Recipesfor this setting will use a quick-acting leaveningagent, usually baking powder

or baking soda, ratherthan yeast.Total cycletime is 1 hour and 50 minutes.

• Whole Wheat (6)

This setting offers longer rise times to accommodatethe slower rising action of bread

containingmore than 50% whole wheatflour. Totalcycle time is 3 hours and40 minutes.

•Dough/Pasta (7)

This setting is usedto preparedough for rolls, specialtybreads,pizza,pasta,etc.,

which areshaped by hand,allowed to rise for a final time andthen bakedor cooked

conventionally.Totalcycle time is 1 hour and 30 minutes.When cycle is complete,

removethe dough and proceedwith handshaping, rolling, etc.

•Bake Only (8)

Thissettingis for bakingdoughsor makingjams,Totalcycletimeis 1 hour,

STEP-BY-STEPDIRECTIONSON]tOWTOUSEYOURBREADMAKER

1, OPEN THE LID AND REMOVE THE BAKING PAN by pulling straight up on

the handle, It is important to removethe Baking Pan from the unit beforeputting the

ingredients into the panto avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case,

2• ATTACH THE KNEADING BLADE onto the shaft inside the Baking Panby lining

up the flat side of the bladewith the flat side on the shaft, Make sure the KneadingBlade

is placed securely on the shaft,

3• MEASURE ALL INGREDIENTS carefully and accurately,Inaccurate

measurements,even if only slightly off, can makea difference in results, Add ingredients

into the bread pan in the orderthey are listed, Yeastis always added lastand must not

come in contact with any liquid, (Beforeadding yeast,rememberto dig a small hole in

the flour so that the yeast doesn't prematurelycome into contactwith the liquids or salt,

This is especially important when you are using the DelayBake Timer),

4• WIPE WATER AND OTHER SPILLS from the outside of the pan;

then insert the pan firmly into the bottom of the machine, applying pressureto

each corner of the pan to makesure it is snappedtightly into the retaining brackets,

5•CLOSE THE LID AND PLUG IN THE BREAD MAKER. You will heara beeF)

a signal tone will sound and the display window will show "0:00" (the "Colon" in

the time display will continue flashing). The "Keep Warm" setting will automatically

continue to keep the bread warm for one hour after the cycle ends (except when

using the dough setting). For best results, remove the bread as soon as possible

to keep the crust from getting soggy. Remove the pan using potholders and take

the bread out of the pan by turning the pan upside down and shaking it. If you

have difficulty removing the bread from the pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic

spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. If the kneading paddle

remains in the bottom of the loaf, use the end of a plastic utensil to remove it.

Once removed from the Bread Pan, it's best to let your bread cool 15 minutes

before slicing. Enjoy!

1o. KEEP-WARM CYCLE automatically begins when the bake time is done.

REMOVABLE LID

Yournew BreadMaker is equippedwith a removablelid for easycleaning and storage.

To removethe lid, simply raisethe lidjust short of the vertical position (approx.70° angle);

while holding the baseof the unit with one hand,gently hold the front edgeof the lid

and pull it to the right side so asto pop the left hinge pin out (you will heara loud "pop"

sound when the hinge pops out). Then simply slide the lid to the leftto removethe

LAST THINGS LAST

You'll seethis tip in severalplaces in this book, but it bearsrepeating. Always put the

liquids in first, the dry ingredientsin next,and the yeast last (fruits and nuts areadded

later,afterthe machinehas completedthe first knead).Dig a shallow hole in the dry

ingredientsand placethe yeast in the hole so that there'sabsolutely no contactbetween

the yeastand any liquids or salt. This is especially important whenyou're using the

DelayBakeoption. You don't wantthe yeastto be activatedtoo soon in the process!

PLACEMENT COUNTS!

Placedried fruits, vegetables,anddried spices awayfrom the liquid ingredients

in the breadpan. If they soakup water,they can underminethe bread'schemistry.

FRESHNESS FIRST

Avoid using perishable ingredients- milk, yogurt, eggs,or cheese- with

the DelayBakefunction.

JUST WAIT FIFTEEN

For bestresults, wait fifteen minutes beforeslicing; the breadneedstime to cool.

DEEP FREEZE

Tofreezefresh bread, let it cool completelyand double-bag in plastic.

BRI:.ADRECIPES

IMPORTANT

Altitude, weatherconditions and accuracy in measurement

can all affectthe outcome of a loaf; to help compensatefor

this, we have createdeach recipe with a range for the liquid

portion of the recipe.

We recommend that you begin using the smaller amount of liquid. Allow your Bread

Maker to mix the ingredients for a few minutes before checking the dough consistency.

If it is dense, oddly shaped or the unit is making a knocking noise, add 1 Tbsp. of water

at a time until the dough is soft and pliable.

Do not exceed4-1/2 cups dry ingredients.

IMPORTANT:Place ingredients into bread pan in the exact order listed. If the ingredients

are listed in two columns, begin with the left column and finish with the

column on the right.
