BREAD AND DOUGH SETTINGS HOW TO USE THE PRESET TIMER

8

The Baker’s Oven Preset Timer lets you
wake up to the aroma of fresh baked bread
in the morning. You can set the timer up to
13 hours in advance before you require the
baked loaf.

Recipes using perishable ingredients
should not be made using the Preset Timer

1. To bake a loaf of bread on the Basic
Medium Bread setting using the Preset
Timer, follow the steps 1-7 under the
heading ‘Beginners Guide to Your First
Loaf’ on pages 11-13.

2. To preset the timer use the + or – buttons
on the control panel to enter the number
of hours in which you want your bread to
be ready (the amount of time shown in the
Display Window will include the total
setting time). To set the time, press the
+ button or – button the appropriate
number of times until you see the required
number of hours and minutes displayed.
Each time the + button is pressed the
timer advances 10 minutes.
Each time the - button is pressed the
timer is set back 10 minutes.
Hold down the + or- buttons for speedier
adjustments. If an error is made during or
after your selection, press the Stop button
twice and begin your selection again.

3. Press the Start button. The colon (:) in the
time displayed begins to flash indicating
that the Preset Timer has started. The
remaining time will count down in one
minute increments. When the time display
indicates ‘0:00’, baking is complete.

Example

Before leaving for work at 8.00 a.m., you
wish to make a loaf of White Bread and
have it ready for dinner at 6.00 p.m.
(10 hours later):

• Press the + button until 10:00 hours

appears in the Display Window.

• Press the Start button.

• The Baker’s Oven will start making the

bread at the appropriate time for it to be
ready at exactly 6.00 p.m.

9

The Preset Timer cannot be
used with the Yeast Free
Bread and Bake Only settings.

The Preset Timer cannot be
used f or all recipes.
Individual recipes will
specify if not suitable.

It is advisable before using
the Preset Timer for the
first time to test the recipe.
It is also advisable to weigh
and measure ingredients
accurately to ensure the
correct ratio of flour, water
and other ingredients is used.

Use the Baker’s Oven in an
area not affected by
extremes of heat and coldness
to ensure efficient operation.

The following instructions are to be used when
making Bread or Dough recipes from the
recipe section of this book.
All recipes use local ingredients and Australian
Standard Metric Measuring tools (cup, spoons
and weighing scales) for accuracy in producing
a 750g or 1kg loaf of bread. The actual weight
of the baked loaf will vary depending on the
weight of raw ingredients used. Before making
your first loaf, remove any promotional stickers
from the Baker’s Oven. Do not remove the
Baker’s Oven logo located on the front panel of
the bread machine.

STEP 1. OPEN THE LID AND
REMOVE THE BREAD PAN

Open the lid and remove the bread pan from
the machine by holding the handle and
lifting straight up.
Always remove the bread pan from the
Baker’s Oven before adding ingredients to
ensure ingredients are not spilt into the
baking chamber and onto the element.

Before using for the first time, we recommend
that the inside of the bread pan and the
kneading blade be washed with warm soapy
water, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Do not
immerse the bread pan in water.

STEP 2. INSERT THE KNEADING
BLADE

It is important that the kneading blade is
properly inserted on the shaft in the base of
the bread pan by aligning the flat edge on
the inside of the kneading blade with the flat
side of the shaft. If the blade is not inserted
correctly the ingredients may not be mixed
and kneaded properly.

STEP 3. ADD INGREDIENTS
INTO THE BREAD PAN

It is IMPORTANT that the ingredients are
added in the correct order listed in the recipe
and that the ingredients are measured and
weighed accurately or the dough may not
mix correctly or rise sufficiently.
All ingredients should be at room
temperature 20 – 25°C. Ingredients should
be added in the following order:

1. Liquid ingredients

2. Fat/Oil

3. Dry ingredients: salt, sugar, flour

4. Dry yeast

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF

The Bake Only setting of the Baker’s Oven
gives more versatility to your bread making.
The Bake Only setting is useful when
wishing to:

• Extend the baking time if a darker or

crisper loaf crust is required.

• Crispen loaves already baked and cooled

• Rewarm loaves already baked and cooled.

• Delay bake a finished dough.

• Melt or crispen toppings

TO USE THE BAKE ONLY
SETTING

1. Place the dough or bread into the bread
pan and insert into bread machine.

2. Press the Menu button seven times and
the Display Window will show 8 and then
change automatically to 1:00.

3. Press the Start button. The Bake Only
setting will bake for 1 hour. This time
cannot be altered. If the total hour is not
required remove the bread after the
sufficient time had elapsed and press the

Stop button.

TRY THIS CREATIVE IDEA FROM
OUR TEST KITCHEN

1. When the baking cycle of a Bread

selection has finished, press the Stop
button and leave the bread in the bread
pan in the bread machine.

2. Combine 3 tablespoons cheddar cheese, 3
tablespoons finely chopped bacon and 2
teaspoons chopped fresh chives.

3. Open the bread machine lid and carefully
sprinkle combined ingredients over the
top of loaf. Close the lid.

4. Press the Menu button seven times and
the Display Window will show 8 and then
change automatically to 1:00.

5. Press the Start button.

6. After sufficient baking time to melt
cheese and crisp bacon, press the Stop
button. Carefully remove bread from the
bread machine and bread pan. Allow to
cool on a rack.

USING THE BAKE ONLY SETTING

10

Always ensure that there
is dough or bread in the
bread pan inserted in the
bread machine when a
baking cycle is in operation
or when the Bake Only
setting is selected.

Press the Crust button once to select H
(dark crust) or twice to select L (light crust).
The crust selection is available on bread
settings 1-6.

STEP 8. START THE
BREAD MACHINE

Press the Start button to begin the bread
machine operation. The total setting time
will appear in the Display Window. The setting
time will count down in one minute increments.
The colon : between the hour and the minutes
displayed will flash throughout the kneading,
rising and baking cycles.

• The kneading cycles commence. During the

kneading cycles beeps will sound indicating
the correct time to add other ingredients.

Add-In Ingredient Beeper

The Baker’s Oven features an ‘Add-In
Ingredient Beeper’ which operates in the
Basic, Rapid, Sweet, French, Wholewheat
and Dough Settings. The bread machine will
sound 12 beeps at approximately 8 minutes
before the end of the second kneading cycle,
indicating the time to add any additional
fruit, nuts, herbs, chocolate, etc. required or
as specified in recipes.
The addition of ingredients at this time
assists with keeping fruits, etc. whole, rather
than being mashed through the dough
making it heavy.

STEP 4. RETURN THE BREAD
PAN TO THE MACHINE

Insert the bread pan into the machine as
follows:

1. Place the bread pan into the baking
chamber and locate the drive mechanism of
the pan directly onto the drive mechanism in
the baking chamber.

2. Push down on the bread pan firmly until it
clicks into position.

STEP 5. CLOSE THE LID

It is not recommended to open the lid during
operation except to check the consistency of
the dough and add additional ingredients in
the kneading cycle, or to glaze and add
seeds to the top of the loaf in the baking
cycle (Refer Page 56).

STEP 6. PLUG IN THE BREAD
MACHINE

Insert plug into a 230/240V volt power outlet.
Switch on at the power outlet and at the
ON/OFF switch under the bread machine.
The Display Window will show 1P then
automatically change to show the total time
3:00 for the setting (Basic bread, Medium
crust). A red light will illuminate beside
Basic on the Settings list on the Control
Panel.

STEP 7. SELECT THE BREAD
SETTING AND CRUST COLOUR

Press the Menu button until the Display
Window indicates the number of the required
setting. The red light on the Settings list will
also indicate the setting selected.
The letter P (Medium crust) will also show in
the Display Window when a bread setting is
selected.

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF cont’d

12

The Basic, Rapid, Sweet,
French and Wholewheat
Bread settings are
programmed to make a 1kg
loaf. However, a 750g loaf
can be made on the same
setting. When making a 750g
loaf it is recommended to
remove the loaf 10 minutes
before the end of the baking
cycle. The weight of the
baked bread will vary
depending on the weight
of the raw ingredients
used (including the weight
of the water).

If using pre-packaged bread
mix, refer to recipes on
Page 52.

Mound the flour into the pan,
make a small hollow in the
centre and place the yeast
there. If the yeast contacts
the water before the kneading,
the bread may not rise well.
This is important when using
the Preset Timer.

Use oven mitts to remove the bread pan
from the bread machine and then gently
shake the bread out of the bread pan onto a
wire rack. Check that the kneading blade
has remained on the shaft in the pan. Place
the bread upright on the wire rack to cool. It
is recommended to allow the bread
sufficient time to cool before slicing.

STEP 11. SWITCH OFF AND
UNPLUG THE BREAD MACHINE

Press the Stop button on the Baker’s Oven.
The Display Window will reset to 1P. Switch
off at the ON/OFF button under the bread
machine, switch off at the power outlet and
remove the plug.

If wishing to make another loaf of bread,
allow approximately one hour for the
Baker’s Oven to cool before using again.
Leave the lid open to help the machine cool.

If the Baker’s Oven is too hot it will display
an error code E01 and rapid beeps will
sound. The Baker’s Oven cannot be
reprogrammed until the correct operating
temperature for kneading has been reached.
To store the bread machine ensure it is
completely cool, clean and dry. Place the
bread pan and kneading blade into the
baking chamber and close the lid. Do not
place heavy objects on the lid. Store the
bread machine upright.

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF cont’d

15

Open the lid, gradually add the additional
ingredients to the dough as it is kneading.
Take care not to drop the ingredients over
the side of the bread pan into the baking
chamber, as these may burn and smoke
during the baking cycle. Close the lid.

DO NOT PRESS THE STOP BUTTON TO ADD
INGREDIENTS AS THIS WILL CANCEL THE
SELECTED PROGRAM.

• The rising cycles begin when the

kneading cycles end and the dough will
start to rise. During the rising cycles, the
dough will be degassed twice by the blade
moving at the end of the first and second
rising cycles. The dough rises fully in the
third rising cycle.

• The baking cycle commences when the

rising cycles end. The dough may rise a
little more at this time due to the
increasing heat expanding the gases
entrapped in the dough.

Steam may also come out of the vents on the
lid and obscure the viewing window for a
short time. This is a normal part of the
bread making process.
When the baking cycle has ended, the bread
machine will sound 5 ‘beeps’ and the Display
Window will read 0:00. The bread is now
ready to remove.

STEP 9. REMOVE THE
BREAD PAN

It is recommended to remove the bread at
the end of the baking cycle to retain the
crispness of the crust. However, if you do not
wish to remove the bread immediately, the
Baker’s Oven will automatically go into a
Keep Warm cycle, holding the temperature
of the bread for up to 60 minutes (except on
the Dough setting). Five beeps will sound
every five minutes throughout the Keep
Warm cycle.

STEP 10. TAKE THE BREAD OUT
OF THE PAN

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF cont’d

14

RAPID BREAD and DOUGH
have two rising cycles with
one degassing of the dough.

YEAST FREE BREAD has one
shorter kneading cycle and
no rising cycles.

When baking has finished
and the bread has been
removed from the bread
pan, remove the kneading
blade from the pan using
oven mitts. Do not attempt to
remove the blade with your
bare hands, as it is very hot!

If the kneading blade sticks
to the shaft after removing
the bread from the pan, pour
warm water into the pan and
let it soak for approximately
10 minutes.

If the kneading blade bakes
into the bread, insert the thin
end of a wooden chopstick or
skewer into the blade hole
and pull out at an angle.

Baking bread is in part a science and each
ingredient plays an important role.
Care should be taken when weighing and
measuring ingredients to achieve accuracy
and consistency.
Recipes in this Instruction Book have been
developed using Australian Metric Weights
and Measurements.

The New Zealand tablespoon is 5ml less
than the Australian tablespoon, so care
should be taken when measuring
ingredients to compensate for the variance.
For example,
1 Australian tablespoon = 1 New Zealand
tablespoon + 1 New Zealand teaspoon.
It is important to note that New Zealand
ingredients, especially flour and yeast, can
differ from Australian equivalents. In the
Vital Ingredients section (Pages 18) suitable
New Zealand products have been listed.
We suggest these New Zealand products be
substituted for the Australian products in the
Easy Bake Recipe Section.
For further New Zealand bread making
assistance Telephone: [phone].

METRIC WEIGHING SCALES

For accuracy and consistent results it is
recommended that a set of metric weighing
scales be used to weigh larger quantities as
they provide greater accuracy and
consistency than measuring cups.
Tare (zero) the scales with the container in
position then spoon or pour ingredients in
until the desired weight is achieved.

METRIC MEASURING CUPS
AND SPOONS

If using graduated metric measuring cups, it
is important to spoon the dry ingredients
loosely into the required cup. Do not tap the
cup on the bench or pack the ingredients
into the cup unless otherwise directed. Level
the top of the cup with a knife. When using
graduated metric measuring spoons, level
the top of the spoon with a straight edged
knife or spatula.

DO NOT USE TABLEWARE CUPS OR SPOONS

METRIC LIQUID
MEASURING JUGS

If using a graduated, metric measuring jug,
place jug on a flat surface and check for
accuracy at eye level.

DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR
MEASURING CUPS

WEIGHING AND MEASURING

STEP 12. CUTTING THE BREAD

Before cutting the bread, check that the
kneading blade has been removed from the
bottom of the baked bread.
When the bread is cool, cut it on a firmly­seated breadboard using a serrated-edge
knife or electric knife. A standard blade knife
is likely to tear the bread.

Breville recommends using the Breville
Bread Slicing Guide – Model BS1. This
foldable lightweight cutting guide is the ideal
accessory for any bread maker. The guide
slots ensure even slices every time when
using a serrated bread knife or electric
knife.

STEP 13. STORE THE BREAD

Store the bread in a freezer bag or a
sealable bread box. To store for more than a
few days, place the bread into a freezer bag,
expel the air, seal, label and date. Bread
may be frozen for up to one month.
