BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BREAD MAKING

Before using the bread maker for the first time, remove and
safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels
including the clear film over the display panel. Ensure the power
cord is unplugged from the power outlet.

Wipe the exterior of the stainless steel housing with a soft,
damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Wash the inside of the bread pan with warm soapy water and
a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the
outside of the bread pan in water as this may interfere with the
free movement of the coupling and drive shaft. Wash only the
interior of the bread pan.

Wash the collapsible paddle and fixed paddle in warm soapy
water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

1. Remove the Bread Pan

a) Place the bread maker on a flat dry surface such as a bench

top. Ensure the power cord is unplugged from the power
outlet.

b) Lift open the lid and remove the bread pan from the interior

baking chamber by holding the handle and lifting straight up.

c) If the bread pan becomes stuck, press the handle down then

lift straight up.

2. Insert the Collapsible or Fixed Paddle

a) Select the appropriate paddle. Refer to ‘Know your Breville

the Bread Maker on page 9.

NOTE

Always remove the bread pan from the baking chamber
before inserting the paddle and ingredients. This ensures
that ingredients are not spilt onto the heating element
and drive mechanism inside the baking chamber.

b) Ensure there is no baked-on residue on the drive shaft inside

the bread pan or in any of the paddle crevices, including the
‘D’ shaped hole and hinge area.

c) Align the ‘D’ shaped hole on the paddle with the ‘D’ shape

on the drive shaft inside the bread pan. Push down firmly.
The paddle should rotate with the drive shaft, collapsible
parts should be free to move.

It is important that the paddle is properly assembled onto the
drive shaft to ensure ingredients are mixed and kneaded properly.

3. Add ingredients to the Bread Pan

a) Before adding ingredients to the bread pan, ensure they are:

− Fresh. In particular, fresh flour and yeast are critical –
check the ‘Best Before Date’ stamped on the package.
For tips on checking the freshness of your yeast, refer
to the yeast section in 'The Vital Ingredient' section of
this book on page 42.

− Measured and weighed accurately. Refer to ‘Tips
for Better Bread Making - Measuring and Weighing
Ingredients’ in this book on page 36.

− At room temperature 20°C-25°C except all liquids which
should be 27°C unless stated otherwise. Temperatures
too cool or too warm can prevent the yeast from
activating and affect the way the bread rises and bakes.

b) Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in the

recipe to ensure the dough mixes thoroughly and rises
sufficiently. Wipe any spilt ingredients from the rim and
outside of the pan and ensure it is clean and dry.

− Liquid ingredients

− Fats

− Dry ingredients eg. salt, sugar, flour

− Yeast

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

NOTE

Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread
may not mix properly. The recipes in this book are
designed for 0.5kg to 1.25kg loaves. However if
developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a
minimum 2 cups and maximum 4.5 cups of total dry
ingredients is recommended. On the jam setting, as a
general guide, a maximum 3 cups of fruit should be used.

4. Return the Bread Pan to the Baking Chamber

a) Align the coupling on the underside of the bread pan

with the drive mechanism in the interior baking chamber
of the stainless steel housing. You may need to turn the
coupling slightly if you have difficulty aligning it onto the
drive mechanism. Push down firmly until the bread pan is
securely in position.

It is important that the bread pan is properly assembled onto
the drive mechanism to ensure the paddle operates correctly.

b) Lower the lid. It is not recommended to lift open the lid

during operation unless stated in the recipe, to check the
consistency of the dough during the ‘knead’ phase, or to
glaze and add seeds to the top of the loaf during the ‘bake’
phase. Refer to ‘Using the Pause Feature’ in this book.

5. Load the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser

The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser releases fruits, nuts,
chocolate chips, seeds or other suitably sized ingredients
into the dough at the right time which is programmed for a
specific time during the ‘knead’ phase. If added before this time,

excessive kneading will cause the ingredients to break down
rather than maintain their shape within the dough.

a) Lift open the lid of the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser.

Touch the base of the dispenser to check that it is completely
closed before adding a maximum ¾ cup of dry ingredients. If
the base is open, see Troubleshooting.

b) Ensure the bread pan is in the baking chamber and the lid is

closed. Loading ingredients into the dispenser without the
bread pan inserted or with the lid closed increases the risk
of ingredients falling into the baking chamber and burning
during the ‘bake’ phase.

c) Always remember:

− Ingredients should be suitably sized so they do not fall
through the steam vents at the base of the dispenser.
We recommend separating ingredients that may stick
together, such as raisins and other fruits, before adding.

− Liquids should not be added to the dispenser.

− Glacé (glazed) fruits such as cherries, ginger,
pineapple, etc. should be washed and well-dried on
kitchen paper towel before adding into the dispenser.
Sticky ingredients can also be tossed in a little flour to
help dispensing.

− Bottled or canned ingredients such as olives, sun dried
tomatoes etc. should be drained and well-dried on
kitchen paper towel before adding to the dispenser.

− It is recommended that the dispenser be cleaned
thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth after each use.

d) The Fruit and Nut Dispenser will automatically release

its contents on the BASIC, BASIC RAPID, WHOLE
WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN FREE,
CRUSTY LOAF, SWEET, YEAST FREE and all DOUGH
settings. You may notice the base of the dispenser flip
open during the bread making cycle even when it is empty.
This is normal. It is the dispenser automatically releasing
ingredients.

TIP

If ingredients exceed the maximum ¾ cup capacity of the
dispenser, lift open the lid and add ingredients manually
when the ‘add-in’ alert sounds Ensure the BEEPER button
has not been muted and the sound alerts are on - there

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

NOTE

Although the bread maker is capable of making 0.5kg,

0.75kg, 1.0kg or 1.25kg loaves, we recommend the
larger sizes for a better uniform loaf. The ingredient
quantities for the 0.5kg loaf may not fill the bread pan
to the ideal volume for a uniform loaf. This is especially
true for breads that contain whole grains or other special
ingredients. This is why some settings have limited or no
loaf size options.

NOTE

The loaf sizes - 0.5kg, 0.75kg, 1.0kg and 1.25kg - are a
guide to the size of the loaf only. Different ingredients
will affect the actual weight and size of the baked loaf.

For example:

− A 0.5kg loaf baked with fruit and nuts will be heavier
than a plain 0.5kg loaf.

− A 0.5kg 100% whole wheat loaf will be smaller and
shorter than a 0.5kg regular white loaf as whole wheat
flour does not rise as well as bread flour.

The table below outlines the different settings.

the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’
and ‘keep warm’ phases to suit a specific recipe or
your personal preference. It then stores it in the
memory of the bread maker.

This is particularly useful if you have a favourite
recipe that you regularly bake. Alternatively,
for advanced bakers it allows you to factor
in variables such as the brand and type of
flour, quality of the yeast, altitude and climate
considerations. For example, in a humid climate
the rising cycles can be reduced.

This is an all-purpose setting for white breads,
whole wheat breads and whole grain breads that

the yeast to perform optimally. The ‘preheat’ phase
also allows heavy grains and flours to absorb liquid,

an oven.

This setting mixes ingredients, then takes the
dough through the ‘knead’ phase and ‘rise 1’
phase. At the end of the cycle, the dough should be
removed, shaped then allowed to rise before baking.

In comparison to the DOUGH-BREAD setting, the
DOUGH-PIZZA setting has a shorter ‘rise 1’ phase
as the dough does not need to become a big puffy
mass that is characteristic of bread doughs.

The only difference between pizza crust
and focaccia is that instead of being baked
immediately after shaping to make a thin, crisp
pizza crust, focaccia is left to rise a second time
before baking. For this reason, pizza doughs
should be removed, shaped then baked, while
focaccia doughs should be removed, shaped then
allowed to rise before baking.

This is a setting for pasta doughs.
In comparison to the DOUGH-BREAD and

The bake time and temperature range is 1:00min ­2:00hrs and 60°C - 150°C (140°F - 300°F).

NOTE:
Due to the small, enclosed baking chamber and
close proximity of the heating element, the baking
temperatures are lower than a wall oven but hot
enough to bake the bread efficiently and evenly.

They make a delicious accompaniment to freshly
baked bread. The bread maker is ideal for making
jam as the paddle continuously stirs ingredients.

10. Start the Bread Maker

The bread maker is now ready to activate, automatically calculating
the recommended temperatures and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’,
‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’ phases based on your
selected setting, crust colour and loaf size. The LCD screen will
indicate the recommended total cycle time.

a) To modify the recommended temperatures and times for the

‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’ and ‘keep warm’
phases, refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’.

b) To activate the cycle using the recommended temperatures

and times for the ‘preheat’, ‘knead’, ‘rise’, ‘punch-down’, ‘bake’
and ‘keep warm’ phases, press the START | PAUSE button.
The button surround will illuminate red. As the cycle begins,
the LCD screen will indicate the time remaining until the
loaf is ready and the progress indicator will flash to indicate
the current phase of the cycle.

c) To pause the cycle, press and hold the START | PAUSE

button. Refer to ‘Using the PAUSE feature’.

d) To cancel the cycle, press and hold the CANCEL button

until the LCD screen returns to the main menu.

NOTE

When using the bread maker for the first time you may
notice the machine emit vapors. These are the protective
substances on the heating elements. These are safe, not
detrimental to the performance of the bread maker and
will dissipate with use.

NOTE

The bread maker is equipped with Power Failure
Protection. If the power supply is interrupted then
restored, this feature allows the cycle to automatically
resume where it left off instead of starting from the
beginning of the cycle. For the Power Failure Protection
to activate, the bread maker must have been operating
for a minimum of 5 minutes before the power was
interrupted, and the power must be restored within
60 minutes. If the power is not restored within 60
minutes; if you are unsure when the outage occurred; or
if the ‘bake’ phase was interrupted; it is recommended
to discard the ingredients, particularly when using
perishable ingredients such as dairy products, eggs, etc.

the moistened gluten strands to a springy elasticity. A dough ball will
form.

During this phase, the paddle will rotate faster and in both the
clockwise and counterclockwise direction. You may notice the
collapsible paddle automatically collapse into the flat position then
return to the upright position multiple times during this phase. This
action allows the dough ball to accumulate all the unincorporated
ingredients in the corners of the bread pan.

The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser will automatically release its
contents 8 minutes before the end of the ‘knead 2’ phase, regardless
of whether it has been loaded.

This phase will only occur on the WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT
RAPID and JAM settings.

Viewing window may fog up. This is normal and will dissipate later
in the cycle.

There may be lumps and unincorporated ingredients in the corners of
the bread pan. Be patient - the clockwise and counterclockwise direction
of the paddle will eventually incorporate all the ingredients before the
end of the ‘knead 2’ phase, however if necessary use a rubber spatula
to fold in any flour from around the edges of the bread pan. This is
especially important on the GLUTEN FREE and YEAST FREE settings.

Humidity, the way the flour is measured and the moisture content
of the flour affects dough consistency. For this reason, you may wish
to check the dough approximately 5-10 minutes into this phase. Lift
open the lid. Poke the dough ball with your finger, careful to avoid
the moving paddle. The dough should feel soft and sticky like scotch
tape. If it is too dry, add liquid (27°C), ½ to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it
is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

NOTE: Gluten free doughs will be wetter and more like a thick, sticky
batter, while yeast free bread doughs will look like a cake batter.

The ‘rise’ phase, also known as ‘proofing’, is a period of rest that
allows the gluten to become smooth and elastic. The dough ball will
become a puffy mass that increases in size. This phase is important to
the flavour of the bread.

During this phase, no movement occurs in the bread pan.
The ‘rise 1’ and ‘rise 2’ phases are separated by two ‘punch down’

During this phase, no movement occurs in the bread pan.
To turn off the ‘keep warm’ phase, or to reduce the 60 minute keep

warm time, refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 31.

If the dough is unevenly sitting to one side of the bread pan, it
should be centred over the paddle before the ‘rise 3’ phase to avoid a
lopsided loaf. This is especially important for the smaller 0.5kg and

0.75kg loaf sizes.
TIP: Although the collapsible paddle will automatically collapse before the

start of the ‘bake’ phase to minimise the hole at the bottom of the baked
loaf, you can also remove the paddle altogether for an even smaller hole. At
the start of the ‘rise 3’ phase, the ‘remove paddle’ alert will sound. Press and
hold the START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle. With protective hot
pads or insulated oven mitts, lift open the lid. Hold the bread pan by the
handle and lift straight up. Place the bread pan on a wire rack. Close the
lid. Take the dough from the bread pan, remove the paddle, form the dough
into a neat ball and replace in the centre of the bread pan. Return the bread
pan to the baking chamber. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button
to resume the cycle.

It is important to remove the dough when the alert sounds, and to replace
the dough in the centre of the pan to ensure the dough rises completely and
is not lopsided. Removing the paddle is not recommended on the GLUTEN
FREE and YEAST FREE settings as the dough is more like a batter.

If the dough rises higher than the bread pan, open the lid, pierce
the top with a skewer or toothpick and allow it to gently deflate.
This should prevent it from baking over the top of the bread pan,
collapsing or spilling onto the heating element.

Steam will emit from the steam vents. This is normal. Do not cover
the steam vents or touch appliance surfaces as they will be hot.

To retain a crisp loaf crust, press and hold the CANCEL button and
remove the bread pan before the ‘keep warm’ phase. The sides of the
loaf may concave and become soggy or the crust may become harder
and darker during the ‘keep warm’ phase.

NOTE

Due to ingredient properties, some settings have been
programmed to skip certain phases.

11. Remove the Bread Pan

a) When the cycle is complete, an alert will sound and the

‘keep warm’ phase will automatically begin to count up to
60 minutes. To retain a crisp loaf crust, we recommend
removing the bread pan at the beginning of the 'keep warm'
cycle. Press and hold the CANCEL button. With protective
hot pads or insulated oven mitts, lift open the lid. Hold the
bread pan by the handle and lift straight up. Place the bread
pan on a wire rack. Be careful not to place it on a tablecloth,
plastic surface, or other heat-sensitive surface which may
scorch or melt.

NOTE

The appliance surfaces, including the lid, are hot during
and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury,
always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts
when removing the bread pan from the baking chamber,
and when removing the baked bread or jam from the
bread pan.

b) If the CANCEL button is not pressed and held after the ‘bake’

phase, the bread maker will automatically commence the ‘keep
warm’ phase. This phase holds the temperature of the baked
bread for up to 60 minutes before automatically turning off.
During the ‘keep warm’ phase, the LCD screen will count-up
indicating how long the baked loaf has been kept warm.

The ‘keep warm’ phase is activated on the BASIC, BASIC

RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, WHOLE WHEAT RAPID, GLUTEN
FREE, CRUSTY LOAF, SWEET and YEAST FREE settings. To
turn off the ‘keep warm’ phase, or to reduce the 60 minute keep
warm time, refer to ‘Using the MODIFY button’, page 31.

NOTE

To retain a crisp loaf crust, remove the bread pan before
the ‘keep warm’ phase. The sides of the loaf may concave
and become soggy or the crust may become harder and
darker during the ‘keep warm’ phase.

12. Remove Bread from the Bread Pan

a) With protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts, hold the

bread pan handle to one side and turn the bread pan upside
down onto a wire rack. Gently shake the bread out of the
bread pan. The paddle should remain in the bread pan. If
it is stuck in the bread, use a non-metal utensil to gently
remove it, taking care not to scratch the paddle.

TIP

If the bread is difficult to remove, turn the bread pan on
its side and with protective hot pads or insulted oven
mitts, wiggle the coupling on the underside of the bread
pan a few times. This will loosen the paddle from the
bread. Over-turning the coupling can drive the paddle
further into the bread and create a large hole.

24

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

13. Unplug the Bread Maker

a) While the bread is cooling, unplug the power cord from the

power outlet.

NOTE

If you wish to make another loaf of bread, allow
approximately one hour cooling time before using again.
Open or remove the lid to help cool the interior baking
chamber. If the bread maker is too hot an error code
will appear on the LCD screen. The bread maker will
not operate until it cools down to the correct operating

b) Place the bread upright on the wire rack to cool for at least

20 minutes before slicing.

The exception is yeast free breads (also known as quick breads,
batter breads or cakes). Allow these breads to remain in the
bread pan for 20 minutes on a wire rack before removing, then
allow to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before slicing.

CAUTION

Always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts

temperature for kneading. Refer to ‘Troubleshooting’,
page 49-57.

b) With protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts, remove

the paddle from the drive shaft inside the bread pan. Do
not attempt to remove the paddle with your bare hand as it
is very hot. If the paddle is difficult to remove, pour some
warm water and a little detergent into the bread pan and
allow to stand for 10-20 minutes to loosen baked-on crust or
crumb residue.

when handling the bread pan, paddle and bread as they
will be very hot. Always remove the paddle from the
baked bread before slicing. Never use metal utensils to
remove the paddle.

NOTE

Never immerse the outside of the bread pan in water
as this may interfere with the free movement of the
coupling and drive shaft. Wash only the interior of the
bread pan.

c) Refer to ‘Care and Cleaning’.

25

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

14. Slice the Bread

a) When the bread has cooled sufficiently, place the bread onto

a firmly seated breadboard.

TIP

Cool bread for a minimum of 20 minutes (preferably
longer) before slicing it. This allows the steam to escape.
The exception is yeast free breads. If you wish to serve
bread warm, wrap it in foil and re-heat in the oven.

b) Ensure the paddle is not in the bottom of the baked bread

loaf and slice using a serrated bread knife or electric knife. A
standard flat-bladed kitchen knife is likely to tear the bread. For
rectangular slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.

15. Store the Bread

Store unused bread tightly covered at room temperature for
up to 3 days. Sealable plastic bags, plastic containers or a
sealable bread box work well. Since homemade bread has no
preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than
commercially-made bread. For longer storage, place bread in a
sealable plastic bag, removing any air before sealing, then place
in the freezer. Bread may be frozen for up to 1 month.

Using the PAUSE feature

Uses for the pause feature are limited only by your imagination.
Bread dough can be hand-shaped into braided breads with
decorative crusts, rolled or layered into sweet or savory filled
pull-apart breads, or finished with a variety of glazes, crumbles
and toppings.

To pause the cycle, press and hold the START | PAUSE button.
The LCD screen will display a flashing ‘PAUSE’ until the
START | PAUSE button is pressed again to resume the cycle.

NOTE

The pause feature cannot be selected during the ‘keep
warm’ phase.

Here are a few ideas and techniques to get you started.

Decorative Crusts

1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus 1

tablespoon of water.

2. At the start of the ‘bake’ phase, press and hold the

START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.

3. Lift open the lid.

4. With the bread pan still in the interior baking chamber, use a

very sharp knife or blade to cut a decorative pattern in the top
of the loaf (slashes, tic-tac-toe, cross, etc.) Carefully brush the
top of the loaf and cuts with the egg wash, careful not to spill
or drip the egg wash inside the interior baking chamber as it
will burn. Work quickly to limit the amount of heat loss.

5. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume

the cycle.

Braided Breads

1. Prepare an egg wash using 1 egg white or 1 whole egg plus

1 tablespoon of water.

2. At the start of the ‘rise 3’ phase, press and hold the

START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.

3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking

chamber and close the lid.

4. Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.

5. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Stretch and roll

each piece into a 10” (25cm) rope. Place the ropes on a flat
surface side by side. Begin braiding from the centre of the
ropes rather than the ends for a more even shape. When
complete, rotate the half braided bread and repeat the
procedure from the middle to the other end. Tuck the ends
under and place into the bread pan. Carefully brush the
top of the loaf with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if
desired.

6. Return the dough to the bread pan.

7. Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.

8. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume

the cycle.

START | PAUSE button to pause the cycle.

3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking

chamber and close the lid.

4. Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.

5. Divide the dough into even pieces (12, 18, or 24) and roll each

piece into a round ball. Create a single layer of dough balls
in the bread pan. Carefully brush the layer with the egg wash
and sprinkle with spices. Continue layering and spicing until
all the dough balls are used.

6. Return the dough to the bread pan.

7. Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.

8. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume

3. Lift open the lid. Remove the bread pan from the baking

chamber and close the lid.

4. Remove the dough and paddle from the bread pan.

5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a

rectangle shape, approximately 8” x 12” (20cm × 30cm).
Spread tomato paste over the dough and top with Italian
mixed herbs, chopped salami, chopped black olives and
grated cheese. Roll up lengthwise, as for a Swiss roll. Tuck
the ends under and place into the bread pan.

6. Return the bread pan to the baking chamber.

7. Close the lid. Press the START | PAUSE button to resume

the cycle. The ‘rise 3’ phase will begin, followed by the
