Got it. Found the Dough setting.
So you use it to mix your dough and let it rise and then you mess around with shapes and stuff?

Yes. The nice thing is, with one push of a button, it kneeds the dough and controls the temperature. The texture of the dough is very smooth, and it rises perfectly every time.
I set it on a timer, so when I wake up, I could braid and bake challah.

I have tried the Cuisinart and didn't find it any better than the cheapest Sunbeam, $40-$50. I love my machine and the ease of having fresh bread any time I want. I use bread flour / high gluten flour blended with whole wheat and don't add any gluten. I use a large bread knife to slice and put the bread on a large tray to catch the crumbs. Super easy. I don't buy bread, ever. I use the dough setting to make pizza, rolls, bagels, etc.
