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 manual says the delay timer can be set for up to 10 hours, and the delay counts working time plus delay: its example shows 13:00 for Basic 2 lb (10 hours of delay plus 3 hours of baking).

    The manual does not list which settings accept the delay timer; it warns against perishable ingredients.
