When will the bread be ready?

Pick a start time to see when to add mix-ins and when it finishes, or enter when you want it ready to get the start time and the delay-timer setting.

    Uses the manual's printed total time. Room temperature and a cold start can change real-world timing slightly; delay-timer limits come from the manual.

    Timer, keep-warm and manual notes

    Delay timer: The delay timer counts the complete time until the bread is ready. Avoid delay when recipes contain perishable ingredients.

    Keep warm: Most baked-bread programs switch to Keep Warm for up to 1 hour.. Printed times do not include keep-warm.
