BASICINGREDIENTS
YEAST
Yeast is actually a microscopic plant; without it, your bread
will not rise. When moistened by a liquid, fed by sugar and
carefully warmed, yeast produces gases which cause the dough
to rise. If the temperature is too cold, the yeast will not be
activated; if itÕs too warm, it will die. The Oster
¨Deluxe Bread
and Dough Maker takes care of this worry for you by
maintaining just the right temperature in the baking chamber at
all times. You can use either Òactive dry yeast,Ó Òquick...

LIQUIDS
When liquids are mixed with the proteins in flour,
gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for rising.
Many recipes use dry milk, but other liquids,
such as fruit juice, beer and water work, too. ItÕs a
delicate balance: A recipe with too much liquid
may cause the bread to fall during baking while a
recipe with too little liquid will not rise. Water is
the most common liquid used in bread making.
It produces a heavier, crisper crust and a more
open texture. Buttermilk results in a light,...

IMPORTANTMEASURINGTIPS
Because each ingredient plays such a specific role in relationship to the other,
it is especially important to measure the ingredients exactly to get the best results.
For Dry Ingredients,use standard measuring spoon or
measuring cup Ð not a tableware spoon or coffee cup Ð
and level off. For flour, simply spoon the flour into a
measuring cup and level off with a flat kitchen utensil.
For Liquids,fill a standard measuring spoon or
measuring cup to the level indicated. Check your...
