In addition, you should choose the type of crust. If you wish to bake the bread later, you can set the delay time by pushing the proper button.
After setting all of the options, fill the pan with other ingredients. There is an ocean of various recipes of delicious bread. However, the traditional products used for baking bread relate to water, honey, sugar, fat, milk, eggs, salt, yeast and flour. Replace the bread machine paddle, put the pan with the ingredients back into your machine and close the lid. And now all you have to do is pressing the start button. And that is it! Your Magic Chef Bread machine is going to do the job, including mixing of the ingredients, raising the dough and baking the bread.
When the bread is ready, you should remove the paddle from the loaf. Magic Chef breadmaker should be cleaned with a moist rag. Avoid immersing the pan in water completely. The paddle can be washed by hands or machine. Use oven mitts when operating with Magic Chef Bread machine pan as it tends to be very hot (even if you have used cool-down mode).
