Congratulations
You are just a few easy steps away from experiencing the aroma of fresh bread baking in your new Sunbeam SmartBake Custom.
We at Sunbeam understand the busy lifestyles that we live today and that’s why when developing the SmartBake Custom we made baking a loaf of bread as easy as 1, 2, 3. Or for those with a little more time you can use the SmartBake Technology to create your own favourite recipes.
The SmartBake Technology ensures that your breadmaker is easy to use, fully programmable and has a Baking Progress Monitor, so that you know exactly what stage your machine is at in the bread making process.
The SmartBake Custom has been designed with a true Gluten Free Recipe. Specific program modifications have been developed with Coeliac Australia to ensure that your SmartBake Custom will allow those with Gluten intolerances, to bake successful Gluten Free recipes. The Gluten Free preset menu also acts as the basis for a Yeast Free recipe.
With your SmartBake Custom you have 76 baking and dough options including your Basic White, Gluten/Yeast Free, Wheat, Sweet, French, Pizza & Pasta dough and it even creates delicious fresh jam that tastes great on a freshly baked loaf.
You have a choice of 3 traditional horizontal loaf sizes from 750g up to a 1.25kg loaf and a choice of 3 crust settings to suit any size family and appetite. Baking with your SmartBake Custom is so easy to do and with the 15 hour pre-set timer you can set it the night before and wake up to a freshly baked loaf.
Before you start, we suggest that you read this booklet to ensure that you achieve the best results from your SmartBake Custom.
We’ve done everything we can do to make bread baking a breeze, but if you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your breadmaker, please call the

Menu Settings
1. Basic
Press the MENU button once and the LCD window will show ‘1’. Use this menu to make traditional white bread. You have a choice of 3 crust colours - Light, Medium or Dark.
The SmartBake Custom will default to a 1.0kg loaf with a Medium crust colour setting. To select a crust setting other than Medium, press the CRUST button. If you require a loaf size other than 1.0kg, press the SIZE button.
2. Turbo
Need bread in a hurry? The Turbo menu is used to decrease the overall completion time of your bread. Depending on your loaf size and crust colour, your bread will be ready
in approximately 2 hours. The breads made using this menu may be shorter and more dense due to the reduced rising times. The default setting is 1.0Kg loaf with a Medium Crust. If you need your bread more quickly, use the Extra Turbo menu (8) which takes 80 minutes.
Tip: The Turbo menu should only be selected when baking Basic (1), Wheat (4), Sweet (5) & French (6) breads.
3. Gluten Free/Yeast Free
The Gluten Free menu on the SmartBake Custom has been tested thoroughly by Sunbeam with the assistance of Coeliac Australia, and has been specifically designed to meet the needs of many people who have intolerances to gluten. Due to the use of different ingredients in Gluten Free bread there are a few handy hints which you should read before you commence baking. Refer to the Gluten Free instructions in the recipe section. This menu can also be used for Yeast Free breads. Refer to the Yeast Free instructions in the recipe section. The default setting is 1.0Kg loaf with a Medium Crust.
4. Wheat
Use this menu for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat, rye flour, oats or bran. This Wheat cycle begins with a 30 minute preheat cycle during which flours or grains absorb liquid ingredients. This causes flour or grains to soften and helps ingredients to combine. The machine will begin kneading after the preheat cycle is completed. Wheat breads also require more
rising time to accommodate the slower rising action with whole wheat flour. It is normal for Wheat breads to be shorter and more dense in texture than Basic, French or Sweet breads. The default setting is 1.0Kg loaf with a Medium Crust.
5. Sweet
This cycle is for breads that require additional ingredients such as sugar, dried fruits or chocolate to sweeten the bread. The baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning. The default setting is 1.0Kg loaf with a Medium Crust.
Tip: To prevent the crust from becoming too dark, a Light crust colour is recommended.
10
Menu Settings - continued
6. French
This cycle is for breads that are lighter in texture and have crispier crusts, such as French and Italian breads. The default
setting is 1.0Kg loaf with a Medium Crust.
Tip: This style loaf best suits loaves which are low in fat and sugar.
7. Cake
Make a variety of sweet and savoury homemade cakes on this menu. You can use this menu to mix and bake cakes. We recommend the use of pre-packaged cake mixes.
Tip: To prevent the crust from becoming too dark, a Light crust colour is recommended.
8. Extra Turbo
Use this Extra Turbo menu for ready made Basic bread in about 80 minutes. This menu is quicker than the Turbo menu (2). The crust colour is set to Medium, and is for 1.0kg loaf sizes only. This menu lets you save time on the bread recipes by reducing the completion time and is ideal for when you need bread
in a hurry. Breads made using this menu may be shorter and more dense due to the reduced rising time.
9. Jam
You can now have fresh jam all year round. Use this menu to make fresh savoury and sweet jams.
Refer to the Jam instructions in the Recipe section.
Note: As with the Wheat menu (4) the Jam menu also features a preheat setting. The SmartBake Custom will begin to mix after this preheat setting is completed.
10. Bake
Use this menu for an immediate baking process. This menu is useful if the crust is too light or if your bread is not quite done and requires more baking time. This setting can be controlled manually by pressing the START/ PAUSE button to stop the function at any time.
This menu can also be used to complete the bread baking process in case of a power failure. If there has been a power failure, allow the dough to rise in the bread pan without power until it reaches ¾ of the way up the bread pan. Reconnect electricity and
select the Bake menu (10), and press START.
Note: You may need to wait 10-15 minutes for the machine to cool down, before you select the Bake menu. If you attempt to use the Bake menu before the machine has
cooled down, an error message will appear on the display - “E:01”.
11. Pasta Dough
This menu allows you to make pasta dough for fresh pasta. Feed the pasta through a pasta machine to make fettuccini, ravioli and lasagne. Refer to the Pasta instructions in the Recipe section.
12. Pizza Dough / Dough
This menu allows you to create a variety of doughs for breads, croissants, bread rolls and pizza, to bake in a conventional oven. Refer to the Dough instructions in the Recipe section.
11
Using your SmartBake® Custom
Before using your SmartBake Custom for the first time
We recommend that you remove the baking pan and wipe over the bread pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the bread pan in water unless necessary. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners as they may damage the non-stick surface. Do not place any parts of your breadmaker in the dishwasher.
Removing the baking pan
Open the lid of your SmartBake Custom and remove the baking pan by taking hold of the baking pan handle and lifting it straight up. It is a good idea to remove the baking pan before adding ingredients so that no
ingredients are spilt into the baking chamber and onto the element.
Step 1. Adding ingredients
We recommend that you add the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. All ingredients should be at room temperature and measured carefully. All recipes listed in this booklet use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric Measuring tools (spoons, cups and measuring scales).
Step 2. Replacing the baking pan
To return the baking pan to the baking chamber simply position the baking pan into the baking chamber and push down until it slots into position. Lay the handle flat toward the side of the bread pan. Close the lid securely, plug the machine into a 230-240 volt AC power outlet and turn the power ON.
Note: When the machine is first plugged in, the LCD window will beep and flash “0.00” until a menu is selected.
Step 3. Add Fruit and Nuts if required
If your recipe includes extra ingredients such as fruit or nuts, add these to the automatic fruit and nut dispenser. Your SmartBake Custom will add the fruit and nuts automatically during the bread making process. Do not use the dispenser for ingredients such as cheese, as these will melt in the dispenser before it's released. Small grains & seeds may fall through the gaps. If using ingredients such as linseeds, sesame seeds etc, add these straight to the bread pan.
Step 4. Select Menu
Press the MENU button to make your desired selection. As you press the MENU button you move through each of the recipes from (1) to (12) and as you scroll through the recipes the number is displayed in the LCD window.
Step 5. Select Size
Press the SIZE button to select the desired loaf size - 750g, 1.0kg or 1.25kg.
The default loaf size is 1.0kg.
Step 6. Select Crust
Press the CRUST button to select your choice of crust colour. You are able to choose from the Light, Medium or Dark crust colours on selected settings. The default crust colour is Medium.
Step 7. Press Start
Press the START button to commence selected setting. The LCD window will display the hours and minutes until the menu is complete.
12
Using your SmartBake® Custom continued
Step 8. Hot fresh crusty bread
When the bread is finished baking, the SmartBake Custom will beep and “0:00” will appear in the LCD window. A red light located on the control panel, will flash for approximately 15-20 minutes.
Once the red light has stopped flashing, using oven mitts, remove the baking pan from the baking chamber by lifting it straight up. Note: the bread pan and loaf are very hot. Be careful not to place these on any heat sensitive surface that may scorch.
Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan for 10 minutes before removing. Then with the oven mitts tap the sides and base of the baking pan and turn upside down and gently shake until the bread slides out. If necessary, use a plastic spatula to loosen bread from the side of the pan. Place the bread on a wire rack and allow the bread to cool. We recommend that sufficient cooling time is approximately 15 minutes to ensure optimum bread texture and this also makes slicing easier.
Keep Warm
If the bread is not removed immediately after baking and PAUSE is not pressed, the SmartBake Custom will automatically switch to a Keep Warm cycle for 60 minutes. Warm air will circulate throughout the baking chamber to help reduce condensation.
After 60 minutes on Keep Warm cycle, the machine will beep and the machine will go to a standby mode. The bread can be
removed from the baking chamber at the end of the baking cycle or any time during the Keep Warm cycle. Simply press the PAUSE button for 3 seconds to end the Keep Warm period and turn off the bread maker at the powerpoint. Note: Keep Warm does not apply to the Pasta Dough and Pizza Dough menus.
After using your SmartBake Custom
Unplug the machine and allow it to cool for 30 minutes before commencing
another program. If you attempt to use the SmartBake Custom too soon, it may beep and the display will read ‘E:01’, indicating the SmartBake Custom has not cooled sufficiently. Wait until the SmartBake Custom has cooled and then press START.
Tip: The screen will change to sleep mode after 20 minutes, and the screen will darken. Push any button to light up the screen again.
13
Ingredients
Yeast
Yeast is actually a microscopic plant. Simply stated, without yeast, your bread will not rise. When moistened by a liquid, fed by sugar and carefully warmed, yeast produces gases that power the dough to rise. If the temperature is too cold, the yeast will not be activated; if it’s too warm, it will die. Your SmartBake Custom takes care of this worry for you by maintaining just the right temperature in the baking chamber at all times.
Some yeasts may require the use of a bread improver. The Bread Improver will provide additional gluten to the flour to produce a better loaf.
Tip: We do not recommend the use of fresh or compressed yeast in your breadmaker. Sunbeam recommends the use of dry yeast only. Always ensure it is used well within the use-by date, as stale yeast will prevent the bread from rising. We suggest that a small pocket be made in the top of the dry mixture to hold the yeast. This will ensure its activation when in contact with the liquid and sugar during kneading.
Flour
In order for the bread to rise, the flour has to have a sufficiently high protein content. Sunbeam recommends the use of a good quality plain or bread flour. The texture and height of the bread will be inconsistent if the flour is stored for long periods of time in unsatisfactory conditions. Purchase bulk packs of flour only if baking constantly. Unlike white flour, wheat flour contains bran and wheatgerm which inhibit rising.
Wheat breads therefore, tend to be heavier in texture and smaller in size. A lighter, larger loaf can be achieved by combining wheat flour with white flour for whole wheat bread recipes.
Bread Improver
The use of Bread Improver is recommended to achieve optimum results. Bread Improver will increase the gluten content of the flour mix. It will also influence the structure, size and texture of the bread, so that it does not collapse when baking. The suggested
quantity to use is stated in all recipes. Bread Improver has a flour like texture and can
be purchased through health food shops or through selected supermarkets.
Sugars
Sugars sweeten the bread, brown the crust, lend tenderness to the texture and supply the yeast with food. White or brown sugar, molasses, maple or golden syrup, honey and other sweeteners may be used in equivalent quantities. Artificial sweetener can be substituted in equivalent amounts, however the taste and texture of your bread will vary.
Liquids
When liquids are mixed with protein in flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for the bread to rise. Experiment with quantities
of these liquids to obtain optimum results. Liquids should be used at room temperature. A recipe with too much liquid may cause the bread to fall during baking while a recipe with too little liquid will not rise.
Salt
In small amounts, salt adds flavour and controls yeast action. Too much salt inhibits rising, so be sure to measure amounts correctly. Any ordinary table salt may be used.
14
Ingredients continued
Eggs
Eggs are used in some bread recipes. They provide liquid, assist with the rising and increase the nutritional value of the bread. They add extra flavour and are usually used in the sweeter types of bread. Recipes in this booklet use extra large 59g eggs.
Fats
Many breads use fats to enhance the flavour and retain moisture. Typically, we use margarine in the recipes. Softened butter or oil may be used in equivalent quantities. If you choose not to add any fat, your bread may vary in taste and texture.
Bread mixes
A variety of bread mixes can be used in your bread maker. All brands of store bought bread mixes are different. Please use the baking instructions supplied with your breadmix rather than the SmartBake Custom menu. Some bulk bread mixes may require the use of a bread improver. We recommend you contact the Bread Mix manufacturer
for further information on the use of their product.
Hints
•Different brands of yeast, used with different brands of flour, will influence the size and texture of your bread. Experiment with these ingredients to determine which combination of ingredients gives you the best result.
•It is normal for breads to be inconsistent in height and texture even if you are using the same ingredients time and time again. This inconsistency is usually influenced by the natural varying protein levels of wheat in the flour, the yeast and the humidity and temperature.
15
Important measuring tips
Each ingredient in a loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results.
We recommend using Australian standard measuring jugs, cups and spoons. Weight measurements are provided if you wish to use a kitchen scale.
Australian standard Teaspoon = 5mls Tablespoon = 20mls 1 cup = 250mls
Dry ingredients
Use a metric measuring spoon or cup. Do not use tableware spoons or cups. Spoon 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 or tap the cup unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Liquids
Fill a metric measuring spoon or jug to the level indicated. Check your jug measurement by placing the measuring jug on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.
1ml = 1g water
Solid fats
Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the level indicated and level off with a flat knife. Alternatively use kitchen scales.
Last Things Last!
Place the liquid in the bread pan first, the dry mix ingredients in next. Then, make a small pocket in the top of the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the pocket. Wipe away any spills from around the outside of the pan. This will ensure a well risen and evenly baked loaf.
16
Fruit and Nut Dispenser
Your SmartBake Custom has an Automatic Fruit and Nut dispenser which automatically releases dry ingredients into the dough during the kneading cycle. This will occur during the second kneading cycle, ensuring that the dried fruit and nuts are not crushed and the pieces remain whole and are evenly dispersed.
This option is available on all menus, however we recommend use only on the Basic (1), Gluten/ Yeast Free (3), Wheat (4) and Sweet Bread (5).
Do not overfill the dispenser and ensure the dispenser is closed prior to each use. The dispenser may be open from the previous time it was used.
17
The Baking Process
Mixing, Kneading, Rising, Baking.... Here’s a glimpse of how your Sunbeam SmartBake Custom automatically does all the steps for you.
Mixing and kneading
In standard bread baking, the baker mixes the ingredients first by stirring, then by kneading the dough by hand. The SmartBake Custom mixes and kneads the dough automatically for you.
Rising
When making bread by hand, the dough is placed in a warm place to rise after mixing, so that the yeast can ferment and produce gas. After mixing the dough, the SmartBake Custom maintains the optimum temperature for rising during this part of the process.
If you are using the Dough cycles, the SmartBake Custom will stop at the end of the first rising. The dough can then be removed and shaped - focaccia, pizza, bread rolls or any other creations, and placed in your own oven for baking.
Knock Down
Once the dough has risen, the baker will typically “knock down” the dough. This process helps to break apart large, unwanted pockets of air and gas that have developed through rising, giving the bread a more even and appetising texture. The SmartBake Custom handles this process automatically for you by turning on the kneading blade at just the right time.
Second Rise
After it is knocked down, the bread bounces back, and rises a second time. Some breads require shorter or longer rising times. For example, wheat breads require a long rising time because the flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibits rising.
The SmartBake Custom regulates the temperature and timing of this second rise automatically for you based on your selection.
Bake
The SmartBake Custom automatically regulates baking time and temperature for perfect results every time.
Cool
In standard baking, the baker removes the bread from the pan immediately to keep the crust from turning soggy. The SmartBake Custom has a 60 minute keep warm feature which helps remove the hot air from the baking chamber after the bread is done. This keeps the crust from getting soggy. After removing the bread, leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
18
