USING THE PAUSE FEATURE
Uses for the pause feature are limited only by your imagination. Bread dough
can be hand-shaped into braided breads with decorative crusts, rolled or
layered into sweet or savory filled pull-apart breads, or finished with a variety
of glazes, crumbles and toppings.
To pause the cycle, press and hold the START | PAUSE button.
The LCD screen will display a flashing 'PAUSE' until the START | PAUSE
button is pressed again to resume the cycle.
NOTE
The pause feature cannot be selected during the 'keep warm' phase.
Here are a few ideas and techniques to get you started.
Decorative Crusts
1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon
of water.
2. At the start of the 'bake' phase, press and hold the START | PAUSE button
to pause the cycle.
3. Lift open the lid.
4. With the bread pan still in the interior baking chamber, use a very sharp
knife or blade to cut a decorative pattern in the top of the loaf (slashes,
tic-tac-toe, cross, etc.) Carefully brush the top of the loaf and cuts with the
egg wash, careful not to spill or drip the egg wash inside the interior baking
chamber as it will burn. Work quickly to limit the amount of heat loss.
5. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume the cycle.

Braided Breads
1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon
of water.
2. At the start of the 'rise 3' phase, press and hold the START | PAUSE button
to pause the cycle.
3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking chamber and
close the lid.
4. Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.
5. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece into a
25cm rope. Place the ropes on a flat surface side by side. Begin braiding
from the centre of the ropes rather than the ends for a more even shape.
When complete, rotate the half braided bread and repeat the procedure
from the middle to the other end. Tuck the ends under and place into
the bread pan. Carefully brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash and
sprinkle with seeds if desired.
6. Return the dough to the bread pan.
7. Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.
8. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume the cycle.
Pull-Apart Rolls
1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1 tablespoon
of water.
2. At the start of the 'rise 3' phase, press and hold the START | PAUSE button
to pause the cycle.
3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking chamber and
close the lid.
