Beginner’s Guide To Baking Your First Loaf

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
450g, 680g or 900g loaf of bread. The
actual weight of the baked loaf will
vary depending on the weight of raw
ingredients used.

Remove and safely discard any
packaging materials and promotional
labels before using the Bread Maker
for the first time.

Step 1: Open the Lid and Remove
the Bread Pan

Open the lid and remove the
bread pan from the Bread Maker by
holding, twisting the bread pan and
lifting straight up.

Always remove the bread pan from
the Bread Maker before adding
ingredients to ensure ingredients are
not spilt into the baking chamber and
the element.

Before using for the first time, we
recommend that the inside of the
bread pan and the kneading blades
are 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. Yeast

NOTE: 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.

Step 4: Return the Bread Pan to
the Bread Maker

Insert the bread pan into the Bread
Maker 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 the bread pan down firmly
and turn until it clicks in 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 below.

Step 6: Plug in the Bread Maker

Insert the power plug into a 230V or
240V power outlet. Switch on at the
power outlet.

The LCD Screen will display 1 (BASIC)
then automatically change to show
the total time 3:25 for the setting (BASIC
bread, MEDIUM crust). A red light will
illuminate beside the MENU panel.

Step 7: Select the Bread Setting
and Crust Colour

Press the MENU button until the LCD
Screen indicates the number of the
required setting.

The symbol ‘-‘ will also show above
the setting in the LCD Screen when a
bread Setting is selected.

Press the CRUST button once to select
DARK crust or three times to select
LIGHT crust.

The crust selection is available on
bread settings 1-4.

Step 8: Start the Bread Maker

Press the START/STOP button to
commence operation. The total setting
time will appear on the LCD screen.
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 Bread Maker features an ‘Add-In
Ingredient Beeper’ which operates
in the BASIC, RAPID, SWEET, FRENCH,
WHOLE WHEAT and DOUGH settings.
The Bread Maker will sound 10 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 the
recipes.

The addition of ingredients at this time
assists with keeping fruits, etc. whole,
rather than being mashed through
the dough making it heavy.

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.

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

10 11

Beginner’s Guide To Baking Your First Loaf continued

NOTE: RAPID BREAD and

DOUGH have two rising cycles
with one degassing of the
dough. GLUTEN FREE BREAD has
only one rising cycle.

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 Maker will sound 5 beeps
and the LCD Screen 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
Bread Maker 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
Bread Pan

Use oven mitts to remove the bread
pan from the Bread Maker 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.

NOTE: When baking is finished
and the bread has been
removed from the bread pan,
remove the kneading blade
from the pan using oven mitts.
Do not remove the blade with
bare hands, as it is very hot! If
the kneading blade is difficult to
remove from the driveshaft, pour
some warm water with detergent
into the pan and allow to stand
for 10 minutes. The kneading
blade should then be easily
removed from the shaft. Follow
care and cleaning instructions
on page 24.

Step 11: Switch off and Unplug the
Bread Maker

Press the START/STOP button on the
Bread Maker. The LCD Screen will
reset to 1. Switch off at the power and
remove the plug.

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

If the Bread Maker is too hot it will
display an error code E01 and rapid
beeps will sound. The Bread Maker
cannot be reprogrammed until the
correct operating temperature for
kneading has been reached.

To store the Bread Maker 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 Maker upright.

Step 12: Cut 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, using a
serrated-edge knife or electric knife
on a firmly-seated breadboard. A
standard blade knife is not suitable as
it will tear the bread.

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 1 month.

12 13

Weighing and Measuring with Your
Bread Maker

Baking bread is in part a science and
each ingredient plays an important
role. Care should be taken when
weighing and measuring ingredients
to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Recipes in this Instruction Book were
developed using Australian Metric
Weights and Measurements.

Australian Metric Measurements mls

1 teaspoon

1 tablespoon
1 cup

NZ Metric Measurements mls

1 teaspoon

1 tablespoon

1 cup

NOTE: The New Zealand
tablespoon is 5ml less than the
Australian tablespoon, so care
should be taken when measuring
ingredients to compensate for
this variance. For example, 1
Australian tablespoon = 1 New
Zealand tablespoon plus 1 New
Zealand teaspoon.

Metric Liquid Measuring Jugs

If measuring liquids 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.

NOTE: It is important to note
that New Zealand ingredients,
especially flour and yeast, differ
from the Australian equivalents.
In the Vital Ingredients section
(pages 15-18) suitable New
Zealand products have been
listed. We suggest these New
Zealand products be substituted
for the Australian products in the
Recipe section.

Metric Weighing Scales

For consistent results it is
recommended to use metric
weighing scales if possible as they
provide greater accuracy than
measuring cups. Tare (or zero) the
scales with the container in position
then spoon or pour ingredients in until
the desired weight is achieved.

NOTE: In general, water
weighs the same in grams as it
measures in millilitres.

Metric Measuring Cups
and Spoons

If using graduated, metric measuring
cups, it is important to spoon in or
scoop 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 SPOONS
OR CUPS.

The Vital Ingredients

Flour

Flour is the most important ingredient
used for bread making. It provides
food for the yeast and structures
the loaf. When mixed with liquid,
the protein in the flour starts to form
gluten. Gluten is a network of elastic
stands, which interlock to trap the
gases produced by yeast. This process
increases as the dough undergoes
kneading and provides the dough
with the structure required to produce
the weight and shape of the bread.

White Wheat Flour

The flour used in the Bread Maker
should be bread or baker’s flour. There
is no need to sift the flour. Plain flour is
most readily available, however best
results are obtained with flour that
has 11-12% protein. For this reason, the
recipes in this book requiring bread
flour, have been made with flours with
11-12% protein content. This is normally
indicated on the packaging. Do not
use self-raising flour unless indicated
on the recipe.

NOTE: When using a low protein,
stone ground, wholemeal or
plain flour the quality of the
bread can be improved by
adding gluten flour.

Baker’s Or Bread Flour

Several brands of baker’s or bread
flour are available nationally at larger
supermarkets. Baker’s flour was used
for the development of most of the
recipes contained in this guide. It is a
high protein, white wheat flour, with
11-12% protein content, ensuring a
higher quality and consistency to the
baked bread.

NOTE: NEW ZEALAND ONLY:
‘Elfin High Grade White Flour’ or
‘Champion High Grade Flour’.
These are high protein, white
bread flours, containing
12% protein.

Wholemeal Flour

Contains all the bran, germ and flour
of the whole wheat grain. Although
breads baked with this type of flour
will be higher in fibre, the loaf can be
lower in height and heavier in texture
depending on the protein level of the
flour. Wholemeal flour with low protein
can be improved by adding gluten
flour or replacing 1 cup of wholemeal
flour with bread or baker’s flour.

Rye Flour

Popular for continental bread
making, rye flour is low in protein
and so it is essential to combine rye
flour with bread flour to make bread
successfully in the bread maker. Rye
flour is traditionally used to make
Pumpernickel and Black breads.

Gluten Flour

Gluten flour is a concentrated mixture
of gluten forming protein and wheat
flour. Adding gluten flour can improve
the structure and volume of bread
when using a low protein, stone
ground, wholemeal or plain flour.
Gluten flour can be purchased at
most health food stores.

The Vital Ingredients continued

Bread Mixes

These convenient mixes contain bread
flour, sugar, milk, salt, oil and other
ingredients such as bread improvers.
Usually only the addition of water and
yeast is required. Bread mix brands
such as “Defiance”, “Laucke” and
“Kitchen Collection” are available
nationally from major supermarkets.

For information on other brands of
bread mix contact the manufacturer
listed on the package.

NOTE: NEW ZEALAND ONLY:
Bread mix brands such as ‘Elfin’
are available.

Bread Improver

Several brands of bread improvers
are available nationally in
supermarkets and health food stores.
The ingredients in a bread improver
are usually a food acid such as
ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and other
enzymes (Amylases) extracted from
wheat flours.

NOTE: Adding a bread improver
will help strengthen the framework
of the bread resulting in a loaf
that is lighter in texture, higher in
volume, more stable and with
enhanced keeping qualities.

A crushed unflavoured Vitamin C
tablet or Vitamin C powder can
be used as a bread improver and
added to the dry ingredients.

Sugar

Sugar provides food for the yeast,
sweetness and flavour to the crumb
and helps brown the crust. White
sugar, brown sugar, honey and golden
syrup are all suitable to use. When
using honey or golden syrup it must
be counted as additional liquid. We
have successfully tested granulated
‘SPLENDA’ as a sugar substitute.

NOTE: NEW ZEALAND ONLY:
Sugar can be reduced for more
improved results.

Powdered Milk

Milk and milk products enhance
the flavour and increase the
nutritional value of the bread.
Powdered milk is convenient and
easy to use (store in an airtight
container in the refrigerator).

Fresh milk should not be substituted
for powdered milk unless stated in the
recipe. Low fat or skim milk powder
can be used with good results. Soy
milk powder can also be used by
produces a denser loaf.

Salt

Salt is an important ingredient in
bread making. However, salt inhibits
the rising of the bread, so be careful
when measuring, as it should be
accurate.

Fat

Butter, margarine or oils, such as
vegetable, safflower, sunflower,
canola, etc., will add flavour, retain
the moisture and enhance the
keeping qualities of the bread.

Yeast

Without yeast the bread will not rise.
Yeast needs liquid, sugar and warmth
to activate. Dried yeast has been
used in the recipes in this instruction
book where appropriate. Before using
dried yeast, always check the use-by­date, as stale yeast will prevent the
bread from rising.

“Tandaco” brand yeast (available
nationally in most supermarkets) was
used in the development of all yeasted
recipes contained in this book.

Smaller packets of bread mix usually
contain sachets of yeast. Larger bulk
bags of bread mix usually do not
include the yeast sachets, however
the corresponding brand of yeast
may be purchased separately.

Some bulk and imported yeasts
are more active, therefore it is
recommended to use less of these
yeasts. Yeast may also be more
active in hot weather. For information
on other brands of yeast relating to
quantities contact the manufacturer
listed on the package.

NOTE: NEW ZEALAND ONLY: We
recommend the use of ‘Elfin’
brand yeast.

Rapid Rise Yeast

There products are a mixture of yeast
and bread improver. Brands will vary
in strength. If wishing to substitute
for yeast in a recipe, omit the bread
improver. Rapid rise yeasts should
not be used with bread mix as bread
improver is already included.

NOTE: NEW ZEALAND ONLY:
‘Edmonds Surebake Yeast’ is
the most readily available yeast
product in New Zealand. Where
a recipe states ‘Bread Improver
and Tandaco Yeast’ substitute
with ‘Edmonds Surebake Yeast.’

Water

Tap water is used in all recipes. If using
water in cold climates or from the
refrigerator, allow water to come to
room temperature. Extremes of hot
or cold water will prevent the yeast
activating.

Eggs

Eggs are used in some bread recipes
and provide liquid, help with the rising
and increase the nutritional value
of the bread. They give flavour and
tenderness and are usually used in the
sweeter type of breads.

Other Ingredients

Fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. are
added when the Bread Maker sounds
10 short beeps approximately 8
minutes before the end of the second
kneading when using the BASIC,
RAPID, WHOLE WHEAT, FRENCH, SWEET
and DOUGH settings. If added before
this stage, excessive kneading will
cause the ingredients to break down
rather than hold their shape.

Do's

• Do measure ingredients
accurately – weighed
measurements are more accurate
than volumetric measurements.

• Do use bread flour unless recipe
states otherwise.

• Do check use-by-dates
on ingredients.

• Do add ingredients to the
bread pan in the order stated
in the recipe.

• Do store opened ingredients in
airtight containers.

• Do use ingredients at
room temperature.

Don'ts

• Don’t use flour that contains
a protein level of less than 11%,
for example, generic brands
of plain flour.

• Don’t use tableware cups and
spoons for measuring.

• Don’t use compressed yeast.

• Don’t use hot water or liquids.

• Don’t use metal objects to

remove the kneading blade from
the cooked loaf of bread or the
bread pan as this may cause
damage to the non-stick coating.

• Don’t operate the machine if any
ingredients have spilled over or
around the element. Wipe away
any spills first to prevent smoking
occurring in the baking cycle.

WARNING: Use the
PRESET TIMER for
recipes that contain
perishable items, such
as eggs, cheese, milk,
cream and meats.

WARNING: Never
immerse your Bread
Maker or bread pan
in water.

NOTE: If you live in an area with
a high altitude (above 900m)
you will probably need to alter
your bread recipe, as the higher
the altitude, the lower the air
pressure, the faster the dough
will rise. Try reducing the yeast
by ¼ teaspoon.

NOTE: If the weather is hot and
humid, reduce the yeast by ¼
teaspoon to avoid over rising of
the dough.

Questions and Answers

NOTE: Flour properties can alter

on a seasonal or storage basis,
therefore it may be necessary to
adjust the water and flour ratio.
This can be determined after
ten minutes of the kneading
cycle. Simply open the lid of the
Bread Maker and if the dough
is too sticky, add a little more
flour, 1 tablespoon at a time,
until the dough reaches a firmer
consistency. If the dough is too
dry add a little more water, 1
teaspoon at a time until a softer,
more pliable dough results. After
being properly kneaded, dough
with the correct amount of water
should form into a smooth,
round ball.

NOTE: When hand-shaping
dough for rolls, weigh each
piece of dough for more evenly
sized rolls.

NOTE: Do not underfill or overfill
the bread pan as the bread
may not mix properly. The
recipes in this book have been
especially designed and tested
to produce 0.45kg to 0.9kg (1lb
to 2lb) loaves. As a general
guide, a maximum 650g flour
and 7.5g (1½ teaspoons) yeast
are recommended to ensure
the dough does not rise over the
bread pan. On the jam setting, a
maximum 2 cups of fruits should
be used.

About Ingredients:

Q. Can other bread recipes be

made in this machine?

A. The recipes in this book are sized

so that the dough is kneaded
properly and the finished bread
does not exceed the bread pan
capacity. Use only recipes will
similar quantities of ingredients.

Q. Can fresh milk be used instead of

dry milk?

A. Yes. bread made with fresh milk

will have a heavier texture than
bread made with milk powder.
If using fresh milk substitute the
water with fresh milk and omit the
milk powder. Scald the milk then
cool before adding to the other
dough ingredients.

Q. Can butter or margarine be used

in place of oil?

A. Yes, but the bread crumb may

appear a more creamy or yellow
colour.

Q. Can other sweetening agents be

used in place of sugar?

A. Yes, honey, golden syrup or

brown sugar can be used. Do not
use powdered or liquid artificial
sweeteners. However granulated
‘SPLENDA’ was successfully tested
during recipe development.
When substituting honey or similar
sweet liquids for sugar, reduce the
water by the same amount.

Q. Can salt be omitted?

A. Salt plays a very important part

in bread making. Omitting it
will decrease water retention
in the dough, as well as affect
mixing, the strength of the
gluten development and the
fermentation of the yeast. In the
finished bread, salt improves the
loaf shape, crumb structure and

crust colour, as well as extending
shelf life and enhancing flavour.

Q. Why do the ingredients need to

be placed into the pan in the
specified order?

A. To ensure all dry ingredients are

mixed with water and to avoid
the yeast activating prematurely
with the water when using the
PRESET TIMER.

About Baking Bread:

Q. The programmed setting has

been interrupted by a power
failure or switched off at the
power outlet during the bread
making process. What can I do?

A. If the power is accidentally

turned off for 5 minutes or less
during the operation, the Bread
Maker has a 7 minute memory
function, that will automatically
resume bread making, where it
was interrupted, when power is
restored. If the operation cannot
be resumed or the setting is
cancelled: During the kneading
stage – Re-select the bread
setting again and allow dough to
re-knead and continue through
the rising and baking process.
The result may be a loaf higher
in volume and lighter in texture.
During the rising stage – Turn
the bread maker off. Leave the
dough in the pan and in the
baking chamber with the lid
closed. Allow the dough to rise
until almost near the top of the
pan. Turn the bread maker on.
Select the MORE setting. Press
the START/STOP button. During
the baking cycle – Select the
MORE setting. Press the START/
STOP button.

Questions and Answers continued

Control Panel Messages

Q. What happens if the bread isn’t

removed when the bake cycle
is complete?

A. The Bread Maker will

automatically go into a keep
warm cycle, (in the BASIC, RAPID,
WHOLE WHEAT, GLUTEN FREE,
FRENCH and SWEET settings)
holding the temperature of
the bread for up to 60 minutes.
However, as the loaf cools it gives
off steam which cannot escape
from the bread pan. The bread
crust may become soft and the
loaf may slightly lose its shape.

Q. Why did the bread not rise?

A. There may be several reasons.

Check the protein level of the
flour and the use-by-date of the
yeast and the flour. The yeast
may have failed to activate, the
yeast measurements may be
inaccurate or sometimes people
just forget to add the yeast.

Q. Why do large holes appear inside

the bread?

A. Occasionally air bubbles will

concentrate at a certain location
during the last rising and will bake
in that state. This could be caused
by too much water and/or yeast
or insufficient flour. Check the
recipe ingredients and method of
weighing/measuring.

Q. Why does the top of the

bread collapse?

A. Usually this is because the

ingredients are not in balance
or a low protein flour is used.
Check the method of weighing/
measuring the ingredients. Too
much yeast, water or other liquid
ingredients, or insufficient flour,
may cause the bread to be pale
on top and collapse while baking.

Q. Why does bread colour differ?

A. This is probably because the

ingredients in each recipe differs.
A different crust colour may also
have been selected.

Q. Are the room and water

temperatures important?

A. Yes, room and water temperature

influences yeast activity and
therefore can affect the quality
of your bread. The average room
temperature is approximately 20­25°C. Water at room temperature
should also be used.

NOTE: NEVER use hot water as it
will kill the yeast.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Before cleaning your Bread Maker,
switch off and then unplug from the
power outlet and allow the bread
maker to cool completely.

Bread Maker

The inside and outside of the Bread
Maker and lid should be wiped with
a soft, damp cloth then dried
thoroughly. If overspills, such as flour,
nuts, sultanas, etc. occur in the baking
chamber, carefully remove, using
a damp cloth. Before re-using your
bread maker ensure that all parts are
completely dry.

NOTE: NEVER immerse the Bread
Maker, lid, kneading blade or the
bread pan in water or place in
the dishwasher. Take care not to
allow water or cleaning fluids to
seep under the buttons or LCD
screen on the control panel.

Bread Pan and
Kneading Blade

The inside of the bread pan and
kneading blade are coated with a
high quality, non-stick coating. As with
any non-stick coated surface, NEVER
use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners
on these items.

To Clean the Bread Pan
and Blades:

Half fill the pan with warm soapy
water (use a non-abrasive detergent),
allow to stand for 10-20 minutes.
Remove the kneading blade and
clean both blade and inside of bread
pan using a soft cloth. Be sure to
remove any crust or dough that may
become lodged around the drive
shaft and the kneading blade.

Storage

When storing the Bread Maker, switch
off and then remove the power plug
from the power outlet. Ensure it is
completely cool, clean and dry. Place
the bread pan and kneading blades
into the baking chamber and close
the lid. Do not place heavy objects on
top of the lid. Store the Bread Maker.

NOTE: Do not immerse the
outside of the bread pan in water
as this may interfere with the free
movement of the wing-nut and
drive shaft. Submerge and wash
only the interior of the bread pan.

WARNING: Do not
use harsh cleaners,
abrasives, brushes or
steel wool.

Never wash the bread
pan or kneading blade
in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Some discolouration may
appear on the bread pan over
time. This is a natural effect cause
by moisture and steam and will
not affect the bread in any way.

Replacement Bread Pan
and Blade

Both the blade and bread pan
coating are operating parts of the
Bread Maker and as such are subject
to normal wear and tear over the
life of the maker. Depending on
your usage of the Bread Maker they
may need replacement if the bread
begins to stick.
