Bread Machine Baker’s Hint: Crust Control
Most of the recipes in this book call for a medium or normal setting on the
crust control, but you must always judge how your machine is functioning;
light or dark might be better in some cases. Also, consider the type of loaf
you are making: country loaves are good with a dark crust, regular loaf
breads are good with a medium or dark crust; sweet breads brown quickly
because of the sugar, so use light or medium. Substituting honey, molasses,
sugar cane syrup, barley malt syrup, or maple syrup for sugar can make a
crust exceptionally dark. Turn down the crust control to light for breads
made with these sweeteners. If you think your machine is not functioning the
way it should, call the customer service number for your machine. One of
my recipe testers kept getting a crust that was too light, even on the darkest
setting, and after inquiring with the manufacturer, was instructed to exchange
the machine because it was not performing properly.
