GETTING STARTED continued..

Using Ingredients

To achieve optimum results when bread making;

• Use fresh ingredients.

• Check the expiry dates.

• All ingredients except liquids, should be at room temperature.

• Measure ingredients accurately

Basic Ingredients for bread making

Yeast

Yeast is a vital ingredient when bread making, without it the bread will not

rise. Your Breadmaker maintains the optimum temperature for the yeast to

take effect, during the breadmaking process.

Important: only use dried yeast with this Breadmaker. Using fresh or tinned

yeast will produce poor results.

Note: Some yeast may require the use of a bread improver. A bread

improver will provide additional gluten to the flour to produce a better loaf.

Flour

In order for the bread to rise, the flour used has to have a sufficiently high

protein content. Breville recommend the use of a good quality strong plain or

bread flour.

Liquids

When liquids are mixed with flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for

the bread to rise. Most recipes use dry milk and water, but other liquids

such as fresh milk and fruit juice can be used.

Salt

In small amounts salt adds flavour and controls yeast action. Too much salt

will inhibit the yeast and the bread will not rise properly.

Important: when adding ingredients to the bread pan, yeast and salt should

be kept separate.

8

USING THE BREADMAKER

For your first loaf of bread, we would recommend that you try the standard

750g or 1kg white bread recipe. When you have tasted the resulting loaf, it

will allow you to vary the settings to suit your individual taste.

Adding the ingredients

1 Open the lid and remove the bread pan by pulling

the bread pan handle upwards, until it releases

from the retaining clips.

2 Place all ingredients in the bread pan.

Important:

• always place ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed in the

recipe.

• make sure you do not leave out any of the ingredients.

• always measure the ingredients carefully, as a small variation can affect

the quality of the bread.

• never use larger quantities of ingredients than recommended, as this is

likely to produce poor results and may damage your Breadmaker.

• all ingredients (except liquids) should be at room temperature (70-80°F/

21-27°C).

When placing ingredients into the bread pan, always put liquids in first,

followed by salt, and then flour. When adding yeast, make a small ‘well’ in

the flour to place into.

Important: do not let yeast come into contact with salt and liquids.

USING THE BREADMAKER continued..

3 Place the bread pan inside the baking chamber. To do this, align the

bread pan handle with the retaining clips on either

side of the baking chamber. Fold down the bread

pan handle.

Using both hands apply downwards pressure on

the bread pan until it locks into place. Ensure the

bread pan has locked correctly.

4 Close the lid, plug in and switch the Breadmaker

on at the main. Set the power on/off switch to the on position (‘I’).

When the Breadmaker is first switched on a ‘beep’ will sound and ‘0:00’

will flash in the display window until a program setting is selected.

Selecting a Program Setting

5 To select a program setting, press the MENU button on

the control panel, ‘1’ will appear in the display window.

Each time this is pressed the next program setting is

selected and a ‘beep’ will sound. When you reach

program 12, pressing the MENU button again will

display program 1.

For a description of each program setting, refer to the Program Guide

on page 13.

Selecting loaf size

Note: loaf size can not be adjusted for programs 8-12.

6 By default the loaf size will be set to 1kg. To change the

loaf size press the SIZE button. The 750g loaf indicator

will illuminate, indicating your current selection.

The display window will show the bread making duration.

Each press of the SIZE button changes the loaf size, and the duration

accordingly.

USING THE BREADMAKER continued..

Selecting crust colour

Note: crust colour can not be adjusted for programs 8-12.

7 By default the crust colour will be set to ‘Medium’. To

select the desired crust colour, press the CRUST

button. Each press of the button cycles through Light,

Medium or Dark crust. The indicator for each setting will

illuminate to indicate the setting you have chosen.

Starting the bread making cycle

Note: if you wish to delay the start of the bread making cycle, see setting

the delay timer section on page11.

8 To start the bread making cycle, press the START/

STOP button. You will hear a beep and the duration time

on the display window will start counting down in

minutes.

Note: When using certain program settings, the Breadmaker will take a few

minutes before starting the bread cycle. This is to allow the ingredients in

the bread pan to warm sufficiently.

The dough consistency can be checked through the viewing window

during the mixing cycle.

The dough should form a soft, tacky ball. If too dry or too moist, add

water or flour one tablespoon at a time, until the correct consistency is

reached. The more you use your Breadmaker, the better you will get at

judging the appearance of the dough.

Do not open the lid during the rising or baking cycles, as this may affect

the quality of the finished loaf.

9 When the bread making cycle is complete, you will hear a beep and the

display window will read ‘0:00’.

USING THE BREADMAKER continued..

Removing the bread pan

Important: steam may escape when the lid is opened. Always use oven

gloves when opening the lid and removing the pan.

10 Wearing oven gloves, hold the handle securely

and lift the pan from the Breadmaker.

Using oven gloves, turn the bread pan upside

down and gently shake it to release the bread.

Place the bread on a wire rack to allow the

steam to escape and the bread to cool.

Note: if the bread cannot be easily removed, using an oven glove, turn the

drive shafts on the bottom of the bread pan in both directions to loosen the

bread.

Fruit and nut beep

If you are baking bread which requires the addition of other ingredients, such

as dried fruit or nuts, 8 beeps will sound during the kneading cycle. This

feature applies to programs 1 (Basic) and 8 (Sweet).

Cancelling a program setting

If for any reason you wish to cancel a program, press and hold the START/

STOP button until you hear a beep.

Power loss memory

This feature automatically resumes the bread making cycle where it left off,

in the event of a short-term power loss. Note that a long delay during the

bread making process (for example, a power cut) is likely to affect the

quality of the finished loaf.

Keep warm function

This prevents the bread from getting soggy by keeping the baked bread

warm for up to an hour after baking. This function stops when the START/

STOP button is pressed or the Breadmaker is unplugged.

12

USING THE DELAY TIMER

The Breadmaker is equipped with a delay timer to enable the breadmaking

cycle to start at a predetermined time.

Note: the timer should not be used in conjunction with certain recipes. Avoid

using recipes, which contain fresh milk, eggs, fruit or vegetable purees when

using the timer, as they could spoil.

When using the delay timer function, you are setting the number of hours to

completion of the baking cycle.

Important: you do not have to consider the time it takes to bake the loaf,

as this is automatically taken into account. For example, if you want your

loaf to be ready in 8 hours, all you have to do is set the timer to 8 hours!

Setting the delay timer

1 Choose the desired bread recipe - ensuring that it is suitable for timer

cooking.

2 Select the required program setting (see page 8).

3 Select the correct loaf size (see page 8).

4 Select the desired crust colour (see page 9).

5 Set the delay timer. To do this, press the DELAY

button. The duration time will appear in the display

window. Each press advances the duration time in 10

minute increments.

If you go past the desired time, simply continue pressing the DELAY

button. Once the timer reaches ‘15:00’ , pressing the DELAY button

again resets the duration time.

Holding the DELAY button makes the numbers advance quickly.

6 When the timer is set, press the START/STOP button. The display will

start to count down the time to completion.

Note: once you have pressed the start button you can not alter the timer.

DELAY

13

USING THE DELAY TIMER continued..

Example:

If the time is 8:00 PM and you want the bread to be ready at 7.00 AM, you

need to set the timer for an 11 hour delay.

Press DELAY button until 11:00 appears on the display window, then press

the START/STOP button. The time will begin counting down.

The Breadmaker will automatically start mixing the ingredients at precisely

the right moment and your bread will be ready at the desired time.

Important: If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the delay timer

will not work.

Always add carefully measured ingredients in the correct sequence: liquids,

salt, dry ingredients then the yeast. The yeast must always be kept away

from the liquids and salt, especially when using the timer.

14

1. Basic

This program is primarily used for breads that use white flour. The bread will

be slightly denser than French or Sweet breads, as there are fewer rising

cycles and the overall cycle time is shorter.

2. Turbo

The Turbo setting is used to decrease the overall completion time of your

bread. This is especially handy when you need bread in a hurry. The breads

made using this setting may be shorter and denser because of a decrease

in rising time. The Turbo setting should only be selected when baking White

and Wheat breads.

3. Wheat

This program is used for recipes which contain significant amounts of whole

wheat or rye flour, oats or bran. It begins with a rest period during which the

flours and grains absorb the liquid - this softens the ingredients and helps

them to combine properly. The program also incorporates an additional rise

cycle which helps the heavier wheat and grains to expand.

PROGRAM GUIDE

15

4. Wheat Rapid

This program is similar to the Wheat program but with a shorter completion

time. However it is not suitable to use 100% granary or wholemeal flour.

5. Sweet

Use this program for recipes that include fruit juice, additional sugar or

added ingredients such as coconut, raisins or chocolate. The baking

temperature is reduced to prevent burning and an additional rise cycle gives

the loaf a lighter texture.

6. French

Traditionally, French bread has a crispier crust and lighter texture than basic

breads. These recipes do not usually include additional fats or milk.

7. Cake

Make a variety of sweet and savoury home-made cakes on this setting. You

can use this setting to mix and bake cakes. We recommend the use of

prepackaged cake mixes. Select the light crust colour to prevent the sides

from burning.

8. Jam

Use this setting to make fresh savoury and sweet jams. The process is a

simple case of mixing and heating.

9. Bake

When you select the Bake setting, the Breadmaker Baker’s oven will

immediately start baking. This setting will bake for 1 hour and can be

controlled manually by pressing the Start/Stop button to stop the function at

any time.

10. Damper

This program is specially design to make a tradition Damper style bread.

Damper style breads have a rich flavour and are heavy and dense in texture.

The bread will take its own shape throughout the rising cycle but generally

remain flat.

11. Pasta

This program allows you to make pasta dough. Feed the pasta dough

through a pasta machine to make fettuccini, ravioli and lasagne.

12. Dough

This program allows you to create a variety of dough’s for breadsticks, bread

rolls and pizza to bake in a conventional oven.

HINTS AND TIPS

Important measuring tips

Each ingredient in the loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely

important to measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results.

Wherever possible we recommend weighing bulk ingredients such as flour

on a kitchen scale. However, for your convenience, if kitchen scales are not

available, the recipes also include volumes by cup. Other dry ingredients

can be measured using the spoon and cup provided, and some butter

wrappers provide weight guidelines.

• Liquids

Fill the spoon or cup provided to the level indicated. Check your cup

measurements by placing the measuring cup on a flat surface and

reading the measurement at eye level.

• Solid fats

When using butter and margarine it is important to chop the

ingredients into cubes before adding to the bread pan. Butter and

margarine should be added at room temperature. Use unsalted butter

or margarine.

• Adding Fruit and Nuts

Fruit and nuts are added towards the end of the kneading cycle. The

machine will beep to let you know it is time to add fruit or nuts. If they

are added before the Fruit and Nut beep, the fruit will be pureed due to

excessive kneading.

• Dry Ingredients

Use the spoon or cup provided. (Do not use tableware spoons or

cups). Put the dry ingredients loosely into the spoon or cup and level

off with a flat knife. This is particularly important with flour. Do not pack

dry ingredients down into the cup, unless otherwise stated in the

recipe.

17

HINTS AND TIPS continued...

Order of Ingredients

Always put the liquid in first, the dry ingredients in next and the yeast in

last. Fruit and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the

first knead. This will ensure a crisp and evenly baked loaf every time.

1 All liquids ie: water, milk, syrup, honey, oil.

2 Fat ie: butter, oil, margarine. If using butter or hard margarine chop into

small pieces.

3 Salt and sugar.

4 Flour.

5 Dry milk powder.

6 Yeast - make a small well in the top of the flour and place the yeast in

the well.

• Wipe away any spills from around the outside of the pan.

• Ensure ingredients are evenly distributed in layers unless stated

otherwise in the recipe.

18

Freshness

Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used before the specified use-by-date.

Avoid using perishable ingredients such as milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese

with the time delay function.

Store dry ingredients in airtight containers, to prevent drying out.

Slicing Bread

For best results, wait at least 10 minutes before slicing, as the bread needs

time to cool. Place loaf on its side and cut in a sawing motion with a bread

knife. For easy and even slicing we recommend using a bread knife or

electric knife.

Freezing Bread

Make sure the bread has completely cooled. Slice and wrap the bread in

plastic, before freezing.

Removing bread from the bread pan

Like a cake, the bread needs to cool slightly before removing from the bread

pan. Allow the bread to sit in the pan for approximately 10 minutes before

removing. If you remove the bread pan whilst it is still hot you must use oven

gloves.

Toppings

Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and chopped bacon can be added

to the top of the bread during the baking stage. Open the lid of the ‘Compact’

Breadmaker Baker’s Oven, gently brush the top of the loaf with a little milk

or egg yolk and sprinkle with topping. (Do not allow ingredients to fall

outside the pan). Close the lid and allow baking to continue.

Note: this step needs to be done quickly to prevent bread from sinking.

Important: The Breadmaker gets very hot during baking, always use

caution to prevent injury.
