How it compares

Cake and quick-bread programs mix a batter briefly and then bake. There is no yeast rise, so the delay timer is generally not used.

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.

    Completion time can be set up to about 13 hours ahead in 10-minute increments. The Add Beep does not sound when the timer is used.

    Times shown are for the MEDIUM crust setting. Times in parentheses are with REST OFF selected.
