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.

*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. 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.
12
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.
13
Turbo Setting
Need bread in a hurry? The Turbo setting is used to decrease the overall completion time of your bread. This is especially handy when you need bread in a hurry.
The breads made using this setting may be shorter and denser because of a decrease in rising times.
The Turbo setting should only be selected when baking White and Wheat breads.
To use the Turbo setting, put ingredients into bread pan and then place in the Bakehouse and select program setting (2) Turbo, then press Start.
Cake Setting
Make a variety of sweet and savoury home made cakes on this setting. You can use this setting to mix and bake cakes.
Select the Light crust colour to prevent the sides from burning.
Refer to the Cake instructions in the Recipe section.
Jam Setting
You can now have fresh jam all year round. Use this setting to make fresh savoury and sweet jams.
Refer to the Jam instructions in the Recipe section.
14
Bake Setting
When you select the Bake setting, the Bakehouse 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. This setting can 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 3/4 of the way up the bread pan.
Reconnect electricity and select program setting (9) Bake, and press Start.
Note: You may need to wait 10-15 minutes for the machine to cool down, before you select the Bake program. If you attempt to use the Bake option before the machine has cooled down, an error message will appear on the display - ‘E:01’.
Damper Setting
Have traditional damper style bread ready in under 1 hour.
Refer to the Damper instructions in the Recipe section.
Pasta Setting
This program allows you to make pasta dough for fresh pasta. Feed the pasta through a pasta machine to make fettucine, ravioli and lasagne.
Refer to the Pasta instructions in the Recipe section.
15
Dough Setting
This program 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
17
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
our list of recommended ingredients on page 9 before attempting any of the recipes provided in this Instruction Book.
A breadmix will usually contain all the necessary ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, etc. to make a loaf of bread. There are a variety of breadmixes available. It
is important to refer to the packaging directions before use, as the recipes and ingredients may vary. For further information on breadmixes, we suggest you contact the breadmix manufacturer.
