Press START to mix and bake. 

After the batter has mixed for 4 minutes, stir sides and bottom of bread pan with rubber scraper to ensure complete mixing. Allow to continue mixing.

When the cycle is complete, remove the bread pan from the machine and shake the bread onto a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Bread slices best when allowed to cool. If not serving after cooling, cover in plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
