6. When done, turn machine off and remove loaf from pan. Allow to cool on rack 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Notes: When using the remainder of the bread mix to make another loaf follow the guidelines except add a ¼-ounce package OR 2¼ teaspoons of fast rising or bread machine yeast. This amount will compensate for the packet of yeast used to make the first loaf. If there is not enough (1½ cups) bread mix left to make a second loaf of bread, use bread flour or all purpose flour to make up the difference. ADAPTING YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES After you have prepared some of the recipes in this book, you may wish to adapt some of your favorite bread recipes to the bread maker. Some experimentation will be required on your part and you will need to check the condition of the dough during the knead cycle for any minor adjustment that may be needed in liquid or flour. Use one of the recipes in this book that is similar to your recipe as a guide, or use the formula that follows: ½ cup liquid, 80-90°F (4 ounces) 1 tablespoon sweetener 2¼ teaspoons fast rising or bread machine yeast 1 tablespoon fat 1⅓ cups bread flour ¼ teaspoon salt CRUST TREATMENT For a gourmet touch, you can create breads with decorative crusts, whether slashed, slit or sprinkled with seeds, herbs or cheese. Follow these guidelines for the crust treatment of your choice: Just before bread is baked: When alert sounds just before bread cycle begins, open cover and carefully brush top surface of dough with a lightly beaten egg white mixed with 1-teaspoon water. Slash top of dough with a sharp knife, about ¼ to ½ inch deep for desired design. Leave plain or sprinkle with seeds, herbs, grated Parmesan or Romano cheese or other desired topping. Press topping gently into dough to make sure it will adhere. Close cover and allow bread to be baked. Avoid opening cover during baking to prevent heat loss. Slashed Top Butter Split Top For best results, use only beaten egg white and water mixture to treat crust before bake cycle begins. This mixture will ensure that any topping will stick to the top of the bread and not fall off when loaf is removed from pan. X Slashed Top Tic-Tac-Toe Top Warning: Do not use vegetable oil cooking sprays for crust treatment, as mixture is flammable when exposed to heating unit in bread maker. 10
