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.

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.

•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 turn the power ON.

Note: When the machine is first plugged in, the Display Window will beep and flash Menu 1 and the timing for Menu 1.

4.Select the desired program setting, then crust colour. Press Start. The Bakehouse Compact will display the hours and minutes until the cycle is complete.

5.To remove the bread pan from the Bakehouse Compact refer to text on page 11.

10

Select Program Setting

1.To select a program setting use the Menu button until the desired number of the program (from 1 to 12) is displayed on the control panel. Each time you press the Menu button, a beep will sound.

2.Use the Crust Colour button to select your choice of crust colour. You are able to choose from the Light, Medium, or Dark crust colours on selected settings. See table on page 12. Unless you select a crust colour (where applicable) the Bakehouse Compact will automatically default to a Medium crust colour.

Note: A choice of Crust Colours is not available on program settings 5 to 12.

3.To start, press the Start/Stop button. The Bakehouse Compact will beep and will display the hours and minutes until the cycle is complete.

To cancel operation at any time, hold the Start/Stop button down for 2-3 seconds, and reset the program setting using the 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 chamber at the end of the cycle or any time during the Keep-Warm cycle. Simply press the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds to end the Keep-Warm period and turn off the breadmaker at the powerpoint.

*Time delay is not recommended for Sweet or Basic breads that require fruits or nuts to be added.

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.

14
