Menu Settings
(1) Basic
Use this setting to make traditional white
bread. You have a choice of 3 crust colours Light, Medium or Dark. The Bakehouse
Compact lets you choose your favourite crust
colour for most breads.
(2) French
This cycle is for breads with crispier crusts,
such as French and Italian breads.
(3) Wheat
Whole wheat breads require more rising time
to accommodate the slower rising action with
whole wheat flour. Therefore, it is normal for
whole wheat breads to be heavy and slightly
dense in texture.
(4) Sweet
This cycle is for breads that require
additional ingredients such as sugar, dried
fruits or chocolate to sweeten the bread. To
prevent the crust from becoming too dark,
the light crust colour is recommended.
(5) Turbo
Use the turbo setting for ready made bread in
approximately 1 hour. This setting 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 setting may be shorter and more
dense due to the reduced rising time. The
Turbo setting should only be selected when
baking White breads.
For turbo wheat bread, use the Gluten Free
setting.
(6) Buttermilk
This setting is for bread made with
buttermilk. Buttermilk bread is a great all
purpose bread with a rich texture and a
buttery flavour.
(7) Gluten Free/ Yeast Free
The Bakehouse Compact has been designed
to meet the needs of people who have
intolerances to gluten and yeast. The Gluten
Free setting and recipes have been tested
and endorsed by The Coeliac Society of
Australia.
(8) 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 pre-packaged cake
mixes. Refer to the Cake instructions in the
Recipe section.
(9) Dough
This setting allows you to create a variety of
doughs for bread sticks, bread rolls and pizza
to bake in a conventional oven. Refer to the
Dough instructions in the Recipe section.
(10) Pasta Dough
This setting 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 Dough
instructions in the Recipe section.
6
Menu Settings
(11) Jam
You can now have fresh jam all year round.
Use fresh fruit to make sweet and savoury
jams. Refer to the Jam instructions in the
Recipe section.
(12) Bake
Set the setting to Bake for an immediate
baking process. When you select the Bake
setting, the Bakehouse Compact 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. The baking
time can be increased manually to 1½ hours.
This setting 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 menu setting to (12) Bake, and press
Start. Note: You may need to wait 10-15
minutes for the machine to cool down, before
you select the Bake setting. If you attempt to
use the bake option before the machine has
cooled down, an error message will appear on
the display - E00 or E01.
7
Role of 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
Bakehouse Compact 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.
Note: We do not recommend the use of fresh
or compressed yeast in your breadmaker.
Sunbeam recommend 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 recommend the use of a good
quality plain or bread flour.
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.
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. Most recipes use powdered
milk and water, but other liquids such as
milk and fruit juice can be used. 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.
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.
8
What Ingredients To Use
To achieve an optimum loaf of bread, always
use fresh, quality ingredients.
Flour
A good quality flour (within its use by date)
should be used. A high protein bread flour
can also be used for bread making.
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.
Yeast
Bulk packs of dry yeast and dry yeast sachets
are recommended.
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.
Bread mixes
A variety of bread mixes can be used in your
bread maker. Directions of use should be
supplied on the bread mix packaging.
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.
Ingredient hints for New Zealand
The recipes for the Bakehouse Compact were
written in Australia. While most of the
information is applicable in New Zealand,
there are some ingredients that are different.
How to use the recipes in New Zealand
• Instead of “Tandaco Dry Yeast", use
Edmonds Surebake Yeast
• We recommend using 1 teaspoon of
Edmonds Surebake Yeast to every cup of
flour.
• Instead of Plain Flour, use High Grade
White Flour.
9
• Do not use "Bread Improver" as listed in
some recipes. The Edmonds Surebake
Yeast contains improvers which ensure
excellent results.
• You can check the consistency of the
dough throughout the initial kneading cycle
(about 20 minutes after the machine has
started). Lift the lid and have a quick look.
The dough should be smooth, soft, slightly
sticky and have a tendency to flatten and
catch the sides of the container.
Using your Bakehouse
®
1. Before using your Bakehouse Compact for the
first time remove the bread pan by gently
pulling it out. 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.
Select a recipe from the recipe section and
prepare the ingredients as directed. (See
Important Measuring Tips on page 15).
2. Add the ingredients into the bread pan in
the order listed. All ingredients should be
at room temperature and measured
carefully. Wipe all spills from the outside of
the pan.
3. Insert the bread pan into the baking
chamber of the bread machine. To do this,
place the bread pan into the baking
chamber and twist into place.
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

Menu button. Avoid opening the lid at any
time during the bread cycle unless adding
fruits or nuts when indicated.
The table on page 12 illustrates the Program
settings and Crust Colour options.
To add fruit or nuts
You are able to add fruit or nuts on settings
(1) Basic, (3) Wheat, (4) Sweet, (6)
Buttermilk and (7) Gluten-Free/Yeast Free.
7 short beeps will sound approximately
15-20 minutes into the cycle. Open the lid
and add any fruits or nuts that the recipe
requires as the machine is kneading.
At the end of the baking cycle the machine
will beep 5 times and the display will read
“0.00”. The Bakehouse Compact will
automatically switch to a Keep Warm cycle
for 60 minutes. Warm air will circulate
throughout the baking chamber, to help
reduce condensation. After 1 hour on Keep
Warm cycle, the machine will beep 3 times
and the machine will to standby mode.
The bread can be removed from the baking

Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan for
10 minutes before removing. Turn the pan
upside down and shake until the bread slides
out. If necessary, use a plastic spatula to
loosen bread from the sides of the pan.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at
least 10 minutes before slicing. Ensure the
kneading blade is not in the bread. For easy
slicing we recommend the use of an electric
knife or a quality bread knife.
After using your Bakehouse Compact, unplug
the machine and allow it to cool for 30
minutes before commencing another
program. If you attempt to use the Bakehouse
Compact too soon, it will beep and the
display will read ‘E00 or E01’, indicating the
Bakehouse Compact has not cooled
sufficiently.
Press the Start/Stop and wait until the
Bakehouse Compact has cooled.
12
Using the Time Delay
The Bakehouse Compact allows you to delay
the cooking of your bread by up to 13 hours,
so you can wake up to the smell of freshly
baked bread, or go out for the day while your
Bakehouse Compact does all the work.
We strongly recommend you make a pocket
in the top of the dry ingredients to hold the
dry yeast. This will ensure that the yeast does
not start activation before the selected
program begins.
Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the
recipe has perishable ingredients such as
milk, eggs or cheese, as these will spoil.
Also, fruit and nuts should only be added
manually. Do not use the Time Delay for
recipes that require fruits and nuts to be
added at a later time. If you do add them on
the Time Delay, they will be excessively
crushed during the kneading cycle.
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 on page 11.
2. Press the timing + and - buttons until you
reach the number of hours and minutes
from now that you want your bread to be
ready.
3. Press the Start/Stop button to begin the
cycle. The Timer will start counting down.
The bread will be cooked and ready in the
hours and minutes displayed.
Note: If you make a mistake, or need to reset
the Timer, press the Start/Stop button for 2-3
seconds, and reset the program setting using
the menu button.
Example
Before leaving for work at 8am, you decide to
set the Time Delay so that the bread or
selected program will be ready and
completed by 6pm when you return home which is 10 hours later.
After following instruction 1 on this page,
press the timing + button until the display
reads “10.00”. Then press Start.
This tells you that your bread or selected
program will be complete in 10 hours. The
Bakehouse Compact will begin counting down
and your selected program will be complete
by 6pm.
Note: You do not need to take into account
the amount of time required to cook the
program selected. This is automatically
registered in the Bakehouse Compact when
it is selected.
13
Power Interruption Program
Protection
Your Bakehouse Compact features a 5 minute
Power Interruption Protection that protects
the Program memory in the advent of power
surges, or short term power failure (blackout).
This means that if there is a power interruption
during your bread making, the machine will
retain its memory for at least 5 minutes and
continue cooking when the power supply
returns.
If you experience a power failure greater than
5 minutes you may need to discard your
ingredients and start again. If the power
interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you
can use the Bake setting (12) to finish
baking.
