Notes About Your Stand Mixer

thorough mixing. However, there
will be some “bouncing” of the
Mixer Head during heavy mixing
or kneading. This is caused by the
flexibility designed into the Mixer.
• If a spoon is accidentally caught in
attachments or the motor stalls, the
Mixer will automatically shut off. If this
happens, turn Mixer off, then unplug.

A Few Words About Baking Bread...
All of our recipes were tested using
all-purpose flour. Bread flour can
also be used.
Most of these recipes call for shaping
bread into a loaf and baking in a loaf
pan. However, bread can be shaped
into any shape and baked in almost
any pan. The only thing this affects
is the baking time.
All of the yeast bread recipes were
made using the dough hooks on
Speed 6.
Basic White Bread
2 packages active dry yeast
2
1 ⁄
2
cups warm water
3 tablespoons butter or margarine,
melted
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and 1 ⁄
2
cup of warm water. Stir until
dissolved. Add remaining warm water, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until mixed.
Add 6 cups of flour and mix until blended. Add enough of remaining flour until
dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Bread Tips!
• When yeast is dissolved in warm water,
the water temperature should be 105°
to 115°F. This is usually very warm tap
water.
• Bread rises best in a moist, warm
environment. For a perfect place to raise
bread, place bread in a microwave oven
or regular oven with a pan of steaming
water. Do not turn oven on, but close
the door.
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
