Almost any BASIC recipe, including the ones on the following pages, can be modified for use with the BASIC RAPID setting.
To reduce the total cycle time by approx. 1 hour, select the BASIC RAPID setting. Follow the recipe and instructions for the BASIC version, however, replace the Active Dry Yeast with Instant (aka
Quick-Rise, Rapid Rise) or Bread Machine Yeast and add the vital wheat gluten as it helps produce a better result during the shorter 'rise' phase.

Ensure the collapsible paddle is securely attached and in the upright position before adding ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed. Secure the bread pan inside the baking chamber. Select
the BASIC setting, desired crust color and loaf size. Press the START | PAUSE button. When the cycle is complete, use oven mitts to remove the bread from the bread machine and transfer to a wire
rack to cool. Bread will slice best when allowed to cool.
