MORE INFORMATION
WHOLE
WHEAT
Collapsible This is a setting for breads that contain more than
50% whole wheat, whole grain, or specialty flour
such as barley or rye.
Due to ingredient properties, breads baked on the
WHOLE WHEAT setting are generally shorter and
denser than breads baked on the BASIC setting.
To encourage a lighter, higher loaf, unlike the
BASIC setting, the WHOLE WHEAT setting has a
‘preheat’ phase that warms the ingredients to allow
the yeast to perform optimally. The ‘preheat’ phase
also allows heavy grains and flours to absorb liquid,
before softening and expanding for better gluten
development.

WHOLE
WHEAT
RAPID
Collapsible This is a setting for breads that contain more than
50% whole wheat, whole grain, or specialty flour
such as barley or rye.
Unlike the WHOLE WHEAT setting, the WHOLE
WHEAT RAPID setting reduces all three of the
‘rise’ phases, shortening the entire cycle time by
approximately an hour. For this reason, Instant
Yeast (also known as quick-rise yeast, rapid-rise
yeast, fast-rising yeast, fast-acting yeast or bread
machine yeast) must be used with this setting or
the bread will not rise and bake properly.
Almost any WHOLE WHEAT recipe can be
modified for use with the WHOLE WHEAT
RAPID setting by replacing Active Dry Yeast with
an equal or larger amount of Instant Yeast. We
also recommend adding Vital Wheat Gluten. For
recommended quantities, Refer to ‘Vital Wheat
Gluten’, page 45 and ‘Yeast’, page 46.
