Yes, you can use your Excalibur Dehydrator to make your bread rise! An
Excalibur can make a big difference in speeding up the time it takes for
dough to rise. Remove the trays from the dehydrator, set the thermostat
to 115˚F / 46˚C and allow the unit to pre-heat. Place a shallow pan of
water on the bottom of the dehydrator. Insert a drying tray above the
water and place the bowl of dough on the tray. Cover the dough with a
cloth to keep it from drying out. Allow the dough 30 minutes to 1 hour of
time to rise. When it has risen, continue with preparation to your recipe.
Re-Crisping
You'll never have to throw away crackers, chips, cookies or cereals that
have become stale. Dry them at 145˚F / 63˚C for 1 hour.
Bread Crumbs, Stuffing Mixes & Poultry Seasonings
Put your extra breads of all types in your Excalibur to dry for making bread
crumb recipes. Crumble by hand or process for a few seconds in your food
processor. Store in air tight containers until needed. Add your favorite herbs
and spices to create stuffing mixes for side dishes or poultry stuffing.
Your dehydrator is perfect for preparing pasta. Store bought varieties can't
compete with the taste of homemade.
Make and cut the noodles according to the recipe directions. No need
for separate pasta racks! Place strips of freshly made pasta in single layers
onto your drying trays. Dry for 2 to 4 hours at 135ºF/57ºC. Store in airtight
packages. Dried noodles can be used in soups and casseroles; as a main
dish buttered; or in a cream, tomato, or cheese sauce.
