using the Delayed Timer (this type of layering will prevent that). Wipe clean the
edge of the pan around the rim.
Replace the bread pan in the machine and click it into place in the bottom of the oven
floor. Fold down the handle, close the lid, and plug in the machine. The display
surface will light up and there will be a beep.
Program the bread machine for the cycle appropriate to the type of bread you are
making. In this case, the desired cycles are Basic or French Bread. Consult your
owner’s manual for the clearest instructions for programming your machine.
If applicable, press the loaf control button and select the size loaf. Press the
setting for the desired crust color. Choose medium for this loaf.
The total time for the cycle you have chosen—Basic or French Bread, about 3

hours—will come up on the display. Check your manufacturer’s manual to see
how far ahead you can program the Delay Timer. Figure out what time you want
to have the finished bread. For example, say you want fresh bread ready at 5:00
P.M. to eat for dinner. You are setting up the machine at 8:00 A.M. before you leave
for work. You must do some math here. It is 9 hours until you want the bread to
be finished baking.
There are two Timer buttons, one ascending and one descending. Each push of the
button will increase or decrease the amount of time programmed by a certain in-
terval, 10 minutes or 20 minutes, for example. Continue pressing the ascending
Timer button until you see the amount of time you want displayed on the screen, 9
hours. (Continually pressing a button will cause the increments to register very
quickly, like when you set your bedside digital clock.) If you press the ascending
button too many times, you can correct the time by pressing the descending Timer
button, which will subtract time. When you finish, the display should read 9:00,
or 9 hours, which includes the time for mixing, rising, and baking the bread.
Press the On or Start button to begin the Timer. The colon (:) on the screen will flash
to indicate that the Delay Timer is in progress. You can look at the display any
time of the day and see the countdown. Clean up the work area. If you have made
a mistake or decide to bake the bread at a different time, press and hold
Stop/Reset. This will clear everything that you have programmed, and you can
start all over again.
Set a cooling rack on the counter. When the baking cycle ends, the machine will au-
tomatically go into a Keep Warm/Cool Down phase in case you can’t remove the
