Dough Instructions 1 Put ingredients in bread pan and put the bread pan into the breadmaker. 2 Press the "Menu Select" button to choose either the dough or bagel dough setting (if making bagel dough). 3 Press the "Start/Stop" button. The display will begin counting down the time on the Dough setting. When dough is ready, the unit will signal and the display will read "0:00." 4 Press "Start/Stop" button and hold it down until you hear a beep and the display clears. 5 To remove the bread pan, grasp the handle firmly and lift the pan out. Note: The pan does not get hot when using the dough setting. Preparing Dough for Baking 1 Lightly sprinkle all-purpose flour onto a pastry mat or board. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, remove dough from the bread pan and place on lightly floured surface. Knead by hand 2 or 3 times to release the air. If the dough is easy to handle without flour, shape on a lightly oiled, clean countertop. 2 Shape dough into your favorite rolls, coffee cake, etc. (suggestions follow). Place on greased baking pan. Cover dough with a clean cloth and let rise until almost doubled in size (about 1 hour). 3 Bake as directed in the recipe. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack or serve warm. Variations for Shaping Dough Easy Dinner Rolls Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls and place in greased muffin cups. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 12. Swirls Lightly grease baking sheet. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, using your hand, roll each piece into a pencil like strand about 10 inches long. Beginning at one end of the strand, continue wrapping each piece around the center to form a swirl. Place rolls 2 to 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 10. Butterhorns Lightly grease baking sheet and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut into 12 wedges. To shape rolls, begin at wide end of wedge and roll towards the point. Place rolls point side down, 2 to 3 inches apart, on prepared baking sheet. Cover, let rise and bake as directed. Makes 12. Rising To Reduce Rising Time of Dough Preheat conventional oven to 200°F for 5 minutes, then turn off oven. Shape dough, place on baking pan as directed and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place dough in oven until doubled in size. This will reduce rising time by about one half. Recipes using whole grain or unrefined flours contain less gluten and may not rise as much as those using white bread flour. As a result, these heavier breads may fall slightly in the center. This is normal and will not affect the taste of the bread. Wheat gluten can also be added to improve the shape and volume of bread made with low gluten flours. 32 www.oster.com
