ADAPTING RECIPES
Your favorite yeast and quick bread recipes can be
baked in this oven on BAKE. Just follow our
guidelines.
BAKE temperatures may be 25 - 50˚F (10 - 25˚C)
lower than conventional temperatures. For quick
breads prepare batter according to the recipe
directions, and reduce the recommended baking
temperature by 25˚F (10˚C). For muffins, bake at
375˚F (190˚C). Place the Oven Rack on the
Ceramic Tray. Preheat the oven according to the
temperature recommendations. Place a dish on
the Oven Rack. Check doneness 5 - 10 minutes
sooner than minimum conventional baking times.
Bake muffins 12 - 18 minutes. Quick breads and
muffins are done when a toothpick inserted near
center comes out clean.
Bake yeast breads and rolls at 325˚F (165˚C).
Prepare recipe according to directions. Place the
Oven Rack on the Ceramic Tray. Preheat the oven
to 325˚F (165˚C). Place a dish on the Oven Rack
in the oven. Check yeast breads 5 - 10 minutes
sooner than minimum conventional baking times.
Check yeast rolls 5 minutes sooner than minimum
conventional baking times. Yeast breads and rolls
are done when the top is nicely browned and
bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.
Proofing (rising) of homemade yeast
bread dough
Select a yeast bread recipe that yields one or two
loaves. Prepare dough according to recipe directions.
Place the dough in a well greased large bowl. Brush
top of the dough with oil. Cover loosely with plastic
wrap.
Place 3 cups (750 ml) of warm water in a 10
(26.5 cm) glass or glass ceramic pie plate or square
dish. Place a bowl with the dough in the water.
Heat at P1 25 - 30 minutes, or until dough doubles in
size. Dough has risen when two fingertips lightly
pressed into dough leave an impression.
Punch dough down. Let rest, covered, 15 minutes.
Shape into loaves as recipe directs. Place dough into

Baking cakes, cupcakes, muffins,
quick bread and yeast breads on
convection
Place the Oven Rack on the Ceramic Tray. Preheat
the oven. Use the temperature indicated in the recipe
or reference panel of prepared mix. Baking
temperatures correspond to most conventional
cookbook recipes. Use only one cake layer, 12-cups
(3 L) muffin pan or two loaf pans at one time. For two
cake layers, bake one after the other.
Use metal pans when baking.
To prepare cake pans, either grease and flour the
bottom or place a circle of wax paper on the bottom
and grease. For muffins and cupcakes, grease or line
cups with paper. Bread pans should have the bottom
and sides greased.
When cakes, muffins, brownies and quick breads are
cooked, they will spring back when touched on the
top, the sides will pull away from the pan and a
toothpick inserted near the center will come out dry.
Yeast breads and rolls will be browned on all sides
and sound hollow when tapped.
2-stage microwave defrosting and
proofing (rising) of frozen bread
dough
Fill a 12 x 9" (31 x 23 cm) glass dish with 4 cups
(1 L) hot tap water. Heat at P7 4 minutes.
Generously grease one or two 8
(22 x 11 x 6 cm) glass loaf dishes and oil all sides of
frozen bread dough. Place the dough in the loaf dish,
set in hot water. Cover with wax paper.
Heat at P4, 2 minutes.
Turn dough over.
Heat at P6, 2 minutes.
Let stand in oven 10 minutes. Dough should be
defrosted and slightly warm. If needed, continue
heating at P6 in 1 minute intervals, until defrosted.
To rise, heat at P4 , 1 minute. Let stand in oven
15 minutes. Repeat procedure until dough rises 1"
(2.5 cm) above dish. Procedure is usually repeated
3 - 4 times.
Bake according to recipe directions.
