YEAST BREADS AND QUICK BREADS General Instructions for Making and Kneading Yeast Dough with the Rapid Mix Method "Rapid Mix" describes a bread baking method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed with other dry ingredients before liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional method is to dissolve yeast in warm water. 1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into bowl, except last 1 to 2 cups flour. 2. Attach bowl and PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook. Raise mixer bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds, or until ingredients are combined. 3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add liquid ingredients to flour mixture and mix 1 to 2 minutes longer. See Illustration A. NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too quickly, they will form a pool around the PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook and slow down mixing process. 4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add remaining flour, 1⁄2 cup at a time. See Illustration B. Mix until dough starts to clean sides of bowl, about 2 minutes. 5. Knead on Speed 2 for 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. See Illustration C. 6. Lower bowl on mixer and remove dough from the bowl and PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook. Follow directions in recipe for rising, shaping and baking. When using the traditional method to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl. Add remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except last 1 to 2 cups flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute, or until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with steps 4 through 6.

However, the "Rapid Mix" method may be a bit faster and easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly more temperature tolerant because the yeast is mixed with dry ingredients rather than with warm liquid. 55
