It does have the delay on it, but I've never used it. Too scared of something spoiling.
If you use the delayed timer, you're supposed to use powdered milk, I don't think any of the other ingredients can spoil... and you dig a small hole on top of everything for the yeast, so it doesn't activate till the mixer starts moving everything around. I was skeptical at first too, but it really does work great!
