The recipe booklet strongly recommends using dry yeast (also known as instant yeast) specifically designed for bread makers for optimal and consistent results. If you must use fresh yeast, be sure to follow the instructions on the package. One critical tip: yeast is delicate. It must never come into direct contact with liquid, salt, or sugar before the kneading process begins, as this can kill it and prevent the dough from rising.

Choose between Light, Medium, or Dark crust settings based on your personal preference. 1. The Everyday Classic White Loaf Program 1: Normal (Regular) Size Setting: 1000g
