The Suzanne Somers Somersize bread machine allows its owners to make a variety of breads, pastries, doughnuts and cakes in a snap. The manual also includes a variety of recipes, approved by Somers herself, if you're looking to try something different than your typical bread making. Add the ingredients in the right order, choose the settings desired and plug in the machine for warm, bread-based food.
Instructions
1. Clean the bread pan and kneading paddle gently with watered-down cloths. Dry the pan and paddle off with dry cloths.
2. Place the paddle, with its arrow pointing upwards, into the pan's shaft; push the paddle all the way down into the shaft. Leave the pan standing on a flat surface, such as a table.
3. Add the ingredients needed for your recipe. For example, for a 1 1/2 pound loaf of white bread, add 1 cup of water to the pan, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 tablespoons of vegetable shortening, 2 3/4 cups of bread flour and 2 teaspoons of the included bread machine yeast. Stir the ingredients gently with a wooden spoon until they are blended together.
4. Align the pan's arrows with the corresponding ones in the machine and place the pan inside; press it down firmly to lock it in place.
5. Plug the machine into a functioning power outlet, and close the cover to lock it in place.
6. Press the "Program Select" button on the machine's control panel once to highlight the desired recipe. Press the "Crust" button to select the type of crust you want; the options are "Light," "Medium" or "Dark."
7. Press the "Start/Cancel" button to make your bread; the control panel display will tell you how long it will take to cook.
8. Press and hold down the "Start/Cancel" button for three seconds when the bread is finished; this action turns the machine off. Open the machine's cover, pull the bread pan out with a hot pad, and shake the loaf onto a cutting board. Wait 10 minutes for the bread to cool, and cut it with a knife to serve.
