How do you know when the bread maker starts to bake?

I don’t know, maybe I’m so stupid, or my oven ... But such a problem: how can I know that the raising of the dough is over and baking has begun? Well, to sprinkle or anoint the top with something. The stove should give some signal or what? Enlighten the misunderstanding, pliz! And then she was already worn out.

on time! baking - usually 55 minutes. Read the instructions - the baking time for each program should be indicated. there are no signals and should not be.

On most stoves, all modes are indicated on the display, and during the execution of each, the cursor (or an arrow, or a bold point, or any other icon) points to it, pay attention. In general, as a rule, baking starts about an hour before the end of the program.

The fact of the matter is that the instruction does not have the time for each of the cycles! And the display shows only the number of the program in use, the time left until the end of the program and arrows that indicate the degree of crispness of the crust and the size of the bread. And I myself know the APPROXIMATE baking time, I would like to know the exact one, so as not to spoil the bread when I open the lid for sprinkling.

Then you need to independently, within the time indicated on the timer, go through all the cycles and write down what and when the x / stove does and how long.

As a rule, x / n does the following operations (phases):
pre-mix
pause
batch
1 proofing
paddle (short)
2 proofing
bakery products

Here in my x / stove for example like this:
The duration of the process and the cycles in the Hitachi bread maker by operation is as follows:

1.preliminary kneading - 11 minutes
2.pause - 40 minutes
3. kneading - 14 minutes
4.first ascent - 26 minutes
5.gas outlet - 20 seconds
6.second ascent - 70 minutes
7.baking - 55 minutes
8. end of baking - 13 minutes.
Total program Main (basic) is timer-time 3.50

Try to check and record yourself

Tell me, is the cycle time different in different programs?

Different stoves are different. Do you have these or similar icons on the display ?: 🔗
This refers to the icons to the right and left of the window.

Tell me, is the cycle time different in different programs?

I gave an EXAMPLE from my x / p, you will have your own scheme in phases and time - this is what you have to do yourself

And dopleta tells you correctly. if you have such a panel x / stove, then there are icons on the sides that show at what stage (phase) the x / n is at the moment

I have some mysterious she. The panel and display looks like this:





But thanks anyway for the advice. I will observe, calculate.
