one hour "keep warm" mode. If machine is not turned off after end of "keep
warm" period, machine will turn itself off and red "keep warm" light will go out.

Invert bread pan and shake gently until loaf falls out. Place on rack to cool 15 to
20 minutes. Knead bar will normally stay in pan when bread is removed, but
may on occasion slide out in the bread. If bar is inside loaf, remove before
slicing. If making another loaf of bread right away, be sure machine is turned off
and allowed to cool 15 to 20 minutes with cover open. This will ensure proper
temperature sensing which is critical for the 45-minute cycle.
High Altitude Adjustment: Reduced air pressure at high altitudes causes yeast
gases to expand more rapidly and the dough to rise more quickly. The dough can
rise so much that when it begins to bake, it will collapse due to overstretching of the
gluten structure. To slow the rising of the dough, reduce the amount of yeast by ¼
teaspoon at a time until you find the right amount. You can also reduce the amount
of liquid by a teaspoon or two. Some experimentation will be needed when using
your bread maker at high altitudes.
Pre-packaged bread mixes can be used in your bread maker following the guidelines
below. Most bread mixes have a net weight of 14 or more ounces. This will make
TWO dinner size loaves of bread. Never attempt to use a full bread mix in your Just
for Dinner™ bread maker as it can not make this large a loaf of bread.
1.
Before opening blend mix thoroughly.
2.
Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of lukewarm water, 80-90°F, to bread pan containing
knead bar.
3.
Measure 1½ cups of bread mix and add to bread pan, level ingredients.
4.
Add packet of yeast from mix PLUS 1 teaspoon fast rising or bread machine
yeast. If extra yeast is not used, the loaf of bread will be short. Do not use
active dry yeast. (If mix has yeast blended into the dry ingredients, you will still
need to add the extra teaspoon of fast rising or bread machine yeast). Yeast
does not need to be the same brand as original packet.
5.
Lock bread pan into machine and close cover. Program for Basic/Specialty or
Wheat, depending on type of mix being used. Turn machine on. After 3 to 4
minutes of kneading, check dough for any minor adjustment that may be needed
as bread mixes vary slightly by brand. Do not turn machine off to adjust dough.
Crust treatment can be performed when alert sounds just before bake cycle
begins.
If dough is too dry and motor seems to be laboring, add 1-teaspoon lukewarm
1.
water at a time until dough becomes soft and pliable.
If dough is too wet and clinging to the side of pan, add 1-tablespoon bread mix
2.
or flour, allowing it to be blended into dough before adding more if needed.
Dough should gather into a ball and just be sticky to the touch.
Do not leave cover open while adjusting dough, as this will allow heat to escape.
3.
Open cover only to add ingredients, and then close.
