– 500g, 750g or 1.0kg. The default loaf size is 1.0kg.

4. Menu Button

Press the MENU button to select automatic breadmaking menus from (1) to (13). Each

of these menus is explained further on page

6. Each time you press the MENU button it cycles through the menus from (1) to (13). The default menu is Menu 1. In addition, there is a 14th menu – Bake Only. To access the Bake Only setting, press the BAKE ONLY

button.

5. Bake Only Button

Use this button to activate the BAKE ONLY setting, then adjust the time needed by using the timer buttons.

6. Crust Button

Press the CRUST button to select the desired crust colour – Light, Medium or Dark. The default crust colour setting is Medium. For the Turbo menus, the crust is set to Medium.

7. Start / Stop Button

Press to commence selected setting or begin timer countdown for delay timer. To stop the operation or cancel a timer setting, press and hold for 2-3 seconds to clear.

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 store-

bought 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

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 store-

bought 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.
