Congratulations on your purchase of a new Deluxe Electronic Breadmaker from Magic Chef®. Our many years of
experience have enabled us to continually develop new and innovative technology in our products. Your
breadmaker is the latest design in our constantly growing family of bread machines.
You will find that your breadmaker is an extremely simple and fun product to operate. We have attempted to make
the operating instructions as simple as possible to follow and we have included many kitchen-tested recipes for
your enjoyment. Once you become familiar with the operation of your breadmaker, feel free to experiment with
variations of our recipes for your own use. Your only limit is your imagination!
BEFOR.E YOU START
Many factors can affect the quality of the bread produced in your new bread maker. It is important to understand
these factors to ensure that you get a perfect loaf every time.
TEMPERATIJRE
All ingredients, including liquids, should be at room temperature. Your kitchen should be between 18°C (65°F)
and 23°C (74°F) when baking.
ALTITUDE
At higher altitudes (+3000 ft) water evaporates more rapidly and fermentation (rising) is faster. Therefore, slight
recipe adjustments may be necessary.

The most CRITICAL factor affecting the success
of your baking is the quality, freshness, and accurate
measurement of your ingredients.
FLOUR
For best results, use bread flour. It is milled for yeast
bread baking and has a higher protein content than all-
purpose flour. It is the protein in the flour that turns to
gluten when mixed with liquid. The gluten then
becomes elastic when kneaded and forms the
structure of the dough. All-purpose flour forms a weak
structure and a small loaf.
Whole wheat flour is ground from the whole kernel of
wheat so the flour is coarser than white flour. It
requires a longer kneading time than white flour. If
whole wheat flour makes up more than half of the total
flour amount, select the WHOLE WHEAT cycle.
Rye flour does not become elastic when kneaded.
Therefore, it is always mixed with bread flour in a
recipe. Sometimes the rye flour will cause the loaf to
be shorter and denser than an all white flour bread.
GLUTEN
Gluten is a flour-like substance that assists rising
and adds structure to the loaf. It could be used with
low protein flours, such as whole wheat or rye.
YEAST
Yeast the leavening agent used to make bread dough
rise, is a single cell organism that grows and
multiplies as it ferments sugar. The fermentation
process produces gases which are trapped in the
dough in the form of small bubbles and force the
dough to rise.
There are two basic types or strains of RED STAR®
Yeast available: RED STAR® Active Dry Yeast and
QUICK-RISETMActive Dry Yeast. Both types of yeast
will work fine in your breadmaker. To use RED STAR®
QUICK-RISETMYeast, decrease the amount of Yeast to
1/2 teaspoon for each cup of flour in the recipe.
Always make sure your yeast is fresh. Unopened
packages of yeast have a one year shelf life from the
date they are packaged. Since yeast is very perishable
when exposed to air, moisture and/or warmth, all
opened packages of yeast must be refrigerated or
frozen in an airtight container. Under refrigeration, the
life of yeast is about six weeks and when frozen, six
months.
