Menu Settings

1. Basic

Use this setting to make traditional white bread. Press the MENU button once and the LCD window will show ‘1’. You have a choice of 3 crust colours - Light, Medium or Dark.

2. Basic Turbo

Use this turbo setting for ready made Basic bread in approximately 1 hour. The crust colour is set to Medium, and is for 1.0kg loaf sizes only. 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

Use this setting for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat, rye flour, oats or bran. This Wheat cycle begins with a 30 minute preheat cycle during which flours or grains absorb liquid ingredients. This causes flour or grains to soften and helps ingredients to combine. The machine will begin kneading after the preheat cycle is completed. Wheat breads also require more rising time to accommodate the slower rising action with whole wheat flour. It is normal for Wheat breads to be shorter and more dense in texture than Basic, French or Sweet breads.

4. Wheat Turbo

Use this turbo setting for ready made Wheat bread in approximately 1 hour. The crust colour is set to Medium, and is for 1.0kg loaf sizes only. 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. Wheat breads made using this setting may be shorter and more dense due to the reduced rising time.

5. French

This cycle is for breads that are lighter in texture and have crispier crusts, such as

French and Italian breads. Generally loaves are lower in fat and sugar

6. French Turbo

Use this turbo setting for ready made French bread in approximately 1 hour. The crust colour is set to Medium, and is for 1.0kg loaf sizes only. 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. French breads made using this setting may be shorter and more dense due to the reduced rising time.

7. Sweet

This cycle is for breads that require additional ingredients such as sugar, dried fruits or chocolate to sweeten the bread. The baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning. To prevent the crust from becoming too dark due to the higher sugar content, the light crust colour is recommended.

8. Yeast Free. Gluten Free Bread Mix

The Bakehouse has been designed to meet the needs of people who have intolerances to yeast. Use this setting for recipes and storebought bread mixes that do not contain yeast.

For Gluten Free store-bought bread mixes use this menu. For Gluten Free recipes use Menu

10.

9. Rye

Rye bread is made with a percentage of the flour made from rye grain. Rye bread is usually more dense than bread made from wheat flour but is often more moist. Rye breads are typically darker in colour and offer a heartier flavour. The concentrations of

6

Menu Settings

protein and fibre are also higher. Rye breads are best eaten on the day they are baked. Note, this menu starts with a preheat cycle of

30 minutes. It will begin kneading after that.

10. Gluten Free Recipe

The Bakehouse has been designed to meet the needs of people who have intolerances to gluten. Use this setting for Gluten Free recipes. Please note for Gluten Free storebought bread mixes, the Menu 8 setting may work best. The Gluten Free setting and recipes have been tested and endorsed by The Coeliac Society of Australia. Note, this menu starts with a preheat cycle of 8 minutes. It will begin kneading after that.

11. 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. This setting blends and kneads the dough and takes it through the first rise.

12. Artisan-style Dough

Use this setting to create Artisan dough to bake in a conventional oven. Artisan breads use the freshest ingredients, usually including fresh herbs and seed and nut additions. The longer rising time (the entire cycle in the bread machine is 5:15 hours) at cooler temperature settings preset in the machine, allow the flavour of the flour to dominate. You can use ingredients such as organic flours, unrefined sea salt and spring water. Sugar and fats are not often used in these breads.

13. Jam

Use to prepare preserves, marmalade, chutneys and ketchup. Have fresh jam all year round. Refer to the Jam instructions in the Recipe section.

Bake Only – Additional Setting

Use this setting for an immediate baking process. This setting is useful if the crust is too light or if your bread is not quite done and requires more baking time. Press the BAKE ONLY button to activate this setting, no need to scroll through the Menu list. This setting can bake for up to 1 hour and

30 minutes and can be controlled manually by pressing the Start/Stop button to stop the function at any time. For Bake Only instructions, see page 14.

Bread mixes

All brands of store bought bread mixes are different – different ingredients, different ratios of the ingredients and different instructions. Please use the baking instructions supplied with your bread mix rather than use the Sunbeam Bakehouse menu. Eg some Rye bread mixes suggest using the French setting rather than Rye setting on your bread machine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

10

Ingredients continued

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.

Bread mixes

A variety of bread mixes can be used in your bread maker. All brands of store bought bread mixes are different. Please use the baking instructions supplied with your breadmix rather than the Bakehouse menu.

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, the yeast and the humidity and temperature.

Ingredient hints for New Zealand

The recipes for the Bakehouse 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.

11

Using your Bakehouse®

Before using your Bakehouse 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 bread maker in the dishwasher. Select a recipe from the recipe section and prepare the ingredients as directed. (see Important Measuring Tips on page 16).

Step 1 – Insert kneading blade

Place the kneading blade in the bread pan, ensuring the blade is in the upright position.

Step 2 - Add ingredients

Simply add ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed before inserting the bread pan into the bread maker.

1.Liquid ingredients

2.Dry ingredients

3.Yeast

All ingredients should be at room temperature and measured carefully. Wipe all spills from the outside of the pan.

Note: Ensure the blade remains in the upright position after the ingredients have been added.

Step 3 - Insert the bread pan

Align the pan and gently insert straight down into the baking chamber of the bread machine. Do not twist. Press down on the rim of the bread pan until you hear a click sound to ensure it is set firmly in 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 machine will beep and the LCD window will flash.

Step 4 – Add Fruit and Nuts if required

If your recipe includes extra ingredients such as fruit or nuts, add these to the automatic fruit and nut dispenser. Your Bakehouse will add the fruit and nuts automatically during the bread making process. Do not use the dispenser for ingredients such as cheese, as these will melt in the dispenser before it's released. Small grains & seeds will fall through the gaps. If using ingredients such as linseeds, sesame seeds etc, add these straight to the bread pan.

Step 5 – Select the Menu setting

Press MENU to choose your desired menu. Scroll through the various menu settings available by pressing the MENU button.

Step 6 – Set the Time Delay if required

See ‘Using the Time Delay’ section on page 14.

Step 7 - Select the Crust colour

Press CRUST to choose your desired crust colour. The Bakehouse is preset to the medium crust. If your recipe has much sugar, a light crust setting may be best.

Note: Crust will not be activated for the following menus Turbo, Dough, Artisan Dough, Jam and Bake.

Step 8 – Select the Loaf size

Press LOAF to choose your desired loaf size –

500g, 750g or 1.0kg. The Bakehouse is preset to the 1.0kg loaf size. Note: Loaf size can not be activated for the following cycles Turbo , Rye, Gluten Free, Dough, Artisan Dough and Jam.

Step 9 – Start

Press START / STOP button to begin the cycle. The colon (:) in the time display will begin to flash, letting you know your timer has started. The time remaining will begin to count down in the LCD window. Bread

Using your Bakehouse® continued

making time and the loaf size are also shown.

If you start the program, and then wish to change your selection, press and hold START/ STOP for several seconds. The timer will clear and you can begin again.

Note: During kneading cycle, yeast will activate and viewing window may begin to fog. This will clear eventually so you can view the bread making process.

Step 10 – Hot fresh crusty bread

When the bread is finished baking, the bread maker will beep and “0:00” will appear in the LCD window. Press START/ STOP, open the lid and remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Note: the bread pan and loaf are very hot. Be careful not to place these on any heat sensitive surface that may scorch.

Keep Warm

If the bread is not removed immediately after baking and START/ STOP is not pressed, the Bakehouse will automatically switch to a

Keep Warm cycle for 60 minutes. The machine will beep and the display will read

“0:00”. Warm air will circulate throughout the baking chamber to help reduce condensation. After 60 minutes on Keep

Warm cycle, the machine will beep and the machine will go to a 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 bread maker at the powerpoint. Note: Keep Warm does not apply to the following cycles Dough, Artisan Dough, Jam and Bake.

Remove the bread

Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan for

10 minutes. Turn the bread pan upside down

and shake until the bread slides out. If necessary use a plastic spatula to loosen the bread from the sides of the pan. Place bread upright on a wire rack to cool 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 serrated bread knife.

Kneading Blade

The collapsible kneading blade is designed to stay in the bread pan, however it can sometimes stay in the bread. Ensure the kneading blade is not in the bread. If necessary, use the bonus blade hook to remove the blade from hot bread.

After using the Bakehouse, unplug the bread machine and allow to cool completely before cleaning for before commencing another program. If you attempt to use the Bakehouse too soon, it will beep and an error message will be displayed in the LCD window indicating the Bakehouse has not cooled sufficiently. Press the START/ STOP and wait until the machine has cooled.

13

Using the Time Delay

The Bakehouse allows you to delay the completion 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.

Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese as these may spoil.

1.Follow steps 1 – 5 on page 12.

2.Press and buttons until you reach the number of hours and minutes you want your bread to be ready. Press to add or minus time in 10 minute intervals.

3.Follow remaining steps 7 - 10 on page 12.

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.

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. Set the timer for 10:00. 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.

Using the Bake Only menu

The BAKE ONLY menu offers the flexibility to vary time. Use this setting for an immediate baking process. This setting is useful if the crust is too light or if your bread is not quite done and requires more baking time. Check every few minutes. This setting will bake for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes and can be controlled manually by pressing the Start/ Stop button to stop the function at any time.

1.Press the BAKE ONLY button to activate this setting, no need to scroll through the Menu list. Adjust the amount of time you need using the and buttons.

2.Press the START/ STOP button to begin baking.

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 3/4 of the way up the bread pan. Reconnect electricity and press the BAKE ONLY button, and press

Start. Note: You may need to wait 10-15 minutes for the machine to cool down, before you select the Bake Only setting.

If you attempt to use this setting before the machine has cooled down, an error message may appear on the display.

14

Power Interruption Program

Protection

Your Bakehouse features a 7 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 7 minutes and continue cooking when the power supply returns.

If you experience a power failure greater than 7 minutes you may need to discard ingredients and start again. If the power interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you can use the BAKE ONLY setting to finish baking.

Fruit and Nut Dispenser

Your Bakehouse has an Automatic Fruit and Nut dispenser which automatically releases dry ingredients into the dough during the kneading cycle. This will occur during the second kneading cycle, ensuring that the dried fruit and nuts are not crushed and the pieces remain whole and are evenly dispersed.

This option is available on all menus except

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.

We recommend using Australian standard measuring jugs, cups and spoons. Weight measurements are provided if you wish to use a kitchen scale.

Australian standard

Tablespoon = 20mls

Tablespoon = 5mls

1 cup = 250mls

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 jug to the level indicated. Check your jug measurement by placing the measuring jug on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level.

Note: For greater accuracy water can be weighed using the conversion:

1ml = 1g water

Solid fats

Fill a metric measuring spoon or cup to the level indicated and level off with a flat knife. Alternatively use kitchen scales.

Last Things Last

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.

Handy Hints

Order of ingredients

Place 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 keep them fresh.

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 several layers of plastic. Slice bread before freezing and use at your convenience.

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 and gently 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

Gently wash bread pan in warm soapy water using a soft cloth and dry well before and after each use. 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.

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 overtime. This is 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 bread maker 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.
