Program 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 lets
you choose your favourite crust colour for
most breads.
(2) Turbo
Use the turbo setting for ready made bread in
approximately 2 hours. 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.
(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) Gluten Free & Wheat Rapid
The Gluten Free setting provides a set recipe
specifically designed to meet the needs of
many people who have intolerances to gluten.
This setting can also be used to decrease the
completion time of whole wheat bread. Ideal
to cater for last minute guests or when you
need bread in a hurry.
(5) 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.
(6) French
This cycle is for breads with crispier crusts,
such as French and Italian breads.
(7) Cake
Make your favourite cakes or use packaged
cake mixes to have warm home made cakes
any time.
(8) Jam
Use fresh fruit to make sweet and savoury
jams. Ideal to store and use all year round.
(9) Bake
Set the program to Bake for an immediate
baking process.
(10) Damper
Make a traditional damper bread in less than
1 hour on this setting. The bread will have a
heavier and denser texture than Basic bread.
(11) Pasta
This setting is used to prepare the dough
for pasta. Feed the pasta through a pasta
machine to make fettucini, ravioli and
lasagne.
(12) Dough
Use this setting to make dough only, so that
you can knead and shape a variety of breads
to bake in a conventional oven. Make dough
for pizzas, dinner rolls and bread sticks.
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 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 sweeteners 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.
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.
It is important to weigh the flour required for
each recipe as flour naturally aerates. This
will ensure a perfectly baked loaf.
Bulk packs of flour may be used, however
the result of your bread may vary. 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
for all recipes 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.

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. For easy
slicing we recommend the use of an electric
knife or a quality bread knife.

After using your Bakehouse, unplug the
machine and allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before commencing another program. If you
attempt to use the Bakehouse too soon, it
will beep and the display will read ‘E:01’,
indicating the Bakehouse has not cooled
sufficiently.
Press the Start/Stop button and wait until the
Bakehouse has cooled.
Using the Time Delay Function
The Bakehouse allows you to delay the
cooking of your bread by up to 15 hours,
so you can wake up to the smell of freshly
baked bread, or go out for the day while your
Bakehouse 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 program selected
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, 2 and 3 on page 10.
2. Press the Delay button 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.
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 Delay 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 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 when it is
selected.

section.
Power Interruption Program
Protection
Your Bakehouse features a 10 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 10 minutes
and continue cooking when the power supply
returns. This feature is applicable whether the
machine is in the Kneading, Baking or Delay
cycle.
Without this feature the machine would reset
and the breadmaking cycle would stop.
If you experience a power failure greater than
10 minutes you may need to discard your
ingredients and start again.
16
Important Measuring Tips
Liquids
Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the
level indicated. Check your cup measurement
by placing the measuring cup on a flat
surface and reading the measurement at eye
level.
Solid fats
Fill a metric measuring spoon or cups to the
level indicated and level off with a flat knife.
Each ingredient in a loaf of bread plays a
specific role, so it is extremely important to
measure the ingredients correctly to get the
best results.
For optimum results, we recommend weighing
ingredients on a kitchen scale. This is
especially important with flour. Because flour
aerates, an accurate amount is needed to
achieve an optimum loaf of bread.
Weight measurements are given for each
recipe. If kitchen scales are not available,
ensure the following instructions are
followed:
Dry ingredients
Use a metric measuring spoon or cup. Do
not use tableware spoons or cups. Spoon
the dry ingredients loosely into the spoon or
cup and level off with a flat knife. This is
particularly important with flour. Do not pack
dry ingredients down into the cup or tap the
cup unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
Last things last
Always place the liquid in the bread pan first,
the dry mix ingredients in next. Then, make a
small pocket in the top of the dry ingredients
and place the yeast in the pocket. Wipe away
any spills from around the outside of the
pan. This will ensure a well risen and evenly
baked loaf.
Adding fruits and nuts
Fruits and nuts are added towards the end
of the kneading cycle. The machine will
beep to let you know it is time to add fruit
or nuts. If they are added before the Fruit
and Nut beep, the fruit will be pureed due to
excessive kneading.

Handy Hints
Order of ingredients
Always put the liquid in first, the dry
ingredients in next and the yeast in last.
Fruits and nuts are added later, after the
machine has completed the first knead. This
will ensure a crisp and evenly baked loaf
every time.
Freshness
Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used
before the specified use-by date.
Avoid using perishable ingredients such as
milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese, with the Time
Delay function.
Store dry ingredients in airtight containers, to
prevent drying out.
Slicing bread
For best results, wait at least 10 minutes
before slicing, as the bread needs time to
cool. Place loaf on its side and cut in a
sawing motion with a bread knife. For easy
and even slicing we recommend the use of
the Sunbeam Carveasy electric knife.
Freezing bread
To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely
and wrap in plastic. Slice bread before
freezing and use at your convenience.
Like a cake, the bread needs to cool slightly
before removing from the bread pan. Allow
the bread to sit in the pan for approximately
10 minutes before removing.
If you remove the bread pan whilst it is still
hot you must use an oven mit.
Toppings
Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and
chopped bacon can be added to the top of
the bread during the baking stage.
Open lid of Bakehouse, gently brush top of
loaf with a little milk or egg yolk and sprinkle
with topping. (Do not allow ingredients to fall
outside pan). Close lid and allow baking to
continue.
Note: This step needs to be done quickly to
prevent bread from sinking.
Crust colour
It is normal for the top of the bread to be
lighter in colour than the sides. Different
combinations of ingredients can encourage or
discourage browning.
Baking at high altitudes
At high altitudes above 900 metres, dough
rises faster. Therefore, when baking at high
altitudes some experimentation is required.
Follow the suggested guidelines. Use one
suggestion at a time and remember to write
down which suggestion works best for you.
Suggestions:
1. Reduce the amount of yeast by 25%.
This will stop the bread from over-rising.
2. Increase the salt by 25%. The bread will
rise slower and have less of a tendency to
sink.
3. Watch your dough as it mixes. Flour stored
at high altitudes tends to be drier. You may
have to add a few tablespoons of water,
until the dough forms a nice ball.

Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning the Bakehouse, unplug it
from the power outlet and allow it to cool
completely.
To clean the exterior
Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth
and polish with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use metal scourers or abrasives as this
may scratch the exterior surface.
To clean the non-stick baking pan
Wipe baking pan and kneading blade with
a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not
use any harsh abrasives or strong household
cleaners as these may damage the non-stick
surface. Gently wash bread pan in warm
soapy water using a soft cloth and dry well
before and after each use.
Caring for your non-stick baking pan
Do not use metal utensils to remove
ingredients or bread, as they may damage the
non-stick coating. Do not be concerned if the
non-stick coating wears off or changes colour
over time. This is a result of steam, moisture,
food acids, mixing of various ingredients
and normal wear and tear. This is in no way
harmful and does not affect the performance
of your Bakehouse.
Do not wash any part of your breadmaker in a
dishwasher.
Do not immerse the Bakehouse in water.
Remove and clean lid
To remove lid, simply raise the lid just short
of the vertical position (approx. 70°). While
holding the base of the unit with one hand,
gently lift the lid out of the hinge.
Wipe interior and exterior of lid with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly before replacing lid.
Storage
Make sure the Bakehouse is completely cool
and dry before storing. Store the Bakehouse
with the lid closed and do not place heavy
objects on top of the lid.

Breadmix Recipes
NOTE: Some recipes may vary depending on
the moisture content of the ingredients and
may need to be adjusted. e.g. the weight
of the flour changes when it has absorbed
moisture from the air. Please feel free to
experiment with slight variations to our
recipes to get a better result. Always record
the amounts you try so that you can adjust
the recipe to your own liking.
You may find inconsistencies in the taste,
texture and appearance of the bread you
bake in the Bakehouse. This is quite normal,
and is normally due to the ingredients being
used. To avoid disappointment, please read
