Many modern cooks shy away from the complicated process of breadmaking, but automatic bread machines allow almost anyone to create a tasty loaf at home. Measure the ingredients, push some buttons and your fresh bread will be ready in a couple of hours. Removing the loaf from your machine can sometimes be tricky because bread may stick inside the pan.
Instructions
1. Slip a silicone spatula between the bread and the pan after the bread is done baking. Never use a metal spatula or knife; the metal will scratch the surface of the pan. This results in spaces and nicks where dough will stick.
2. Wash your bread-pan insert and dough blades with a plastic dish scrubber. These green, rectangular scrubbers will remove baked-on crumbs without scratching the cooking surfaces.
3. Mix 1 to 2 tsp. of olive oil with the rest of your bread ingredients. The additional oil will be enough to keep the browned crust from sticking to the inside of the pan; it will not make your bread heavy or oily. Use very light or virgin olive oil for best results.
