bread machine loaf size buttons
My sunbeam 5891 does not give specifics on the knead/rise/bake times of each cycle, or what happens when you change the loaf size. Time slightly increases if I click the button to raise from 1.5 lbs to 2 lb loaf. Does proofing time, baking time, or both increase when the 2 lb button is used?
My goal is to add 10 to 15 minutes of proofing time for particular recipes.
Best Answer
I doubt it'd increase the proofing time, since that doesn't generally vary with the quantity of dough; the yeast is working in all the dough at the same rate. It would definitely need to increase baking time, though, since it takes longer for heat to transfer all the way into a larger loaf.
Sounds like with that machine you might have to do some non-automatic proofing in order to increase the time, e.g. with a preferment.

What size is my bread machine loaf?
Measure the volume of the baking pan by filling it with water, then measuring the amount of water the pan will hold. Fewer than 11 cups means the machine will bake a 1-lb., or small, loaf. Between 11 and 13 cups is a medium, or 1 1/2-lb., loaf. More than 13 cups of water indicates a large, 2-lb.What is the basic setting on a bread machine?
