Because all microwaves are different in heating, you may have to adjust the timing by seconds or a minute. If it turns out too dark, decrease time on each step a bit. If it doesn't end up golden and doesn't break easily, increase the time a bit on each step. Once you have figured out the timing on YOUR microwave, be sure and write it down and use that timing easily from then on.
