How it compares

Basic or White is the default program on almost every bread machine. It usually runs a rest or preheat, two kneads, two or three rises with punch-downs and a full bake. Loaf size and crust color can change the total on some machines; on others the manual gives one time for every crust.

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.
