Use the right capacity
King Arthur Baking’s guide emphasizes following the machine’s instructions and matching the recipe to its capacity. A machine program is not a substitute for checking the recipe’s quantities.
Observe the dough
The guide encourages inspecting dough during early mixing. For a delayed cycle, keeping yeast away from liquid until mixing begins is a relevant consideration. Avoid opening the machine during the final rise and baking stage.
