4. Using Your Beyond Breadmaker Smart Features

Note: To use the Beyond Breadmaker’s smart features you must have a Home Hub and a Beyond Information Service.

Preparing your favorite packaged mixes for yeast breads, batter breads and cakes is easy, fast and convenient thanks to your Beyond Breadmaker’s smart features. Your Breadmaker is programmed to recognize the barcodes of hundreds packaged bakery mixes. With a swipe of the scanning wand your Breadmaker will automatically program itself to perfectly prepare your packaged mix.

If your Breadmaker is on a Home Hub network, you can log onto your Beyond Information Service from your personal computer to select baking programs to be downloaded to your Breadmaker and you can program your favorite homemade bread recipes.

Using the Scanning Wand

Your Beyond Breadmaker is equipped with a UPC scanning wand that is similar to scanning equipment used in many retail settings. The scanning wand on your Beyond Breadmaker is like having a “magic” wand that tells your Breadmaker to automatically program itself for the perfect baking cycle for your packaged bakery mix.

To use the scanning wand:

1. Locate the barcode on the packaged mix you wish to prepare. On the Breadmaker’s control panel, press SCAN. A red light will come on in the end of the scanning wand.

Breadmaker Owner’s Manual

2. Hold the scanning wand as you would hold a pencil. Touch the lighted end of the

wand against the package and to the left of the barcode.

right and from right to left at a medium to fast speed. Be sure to scan the entire barcode and to keep the wand tip touching the package. A beep tells you that the barcode was scanned successfully.

To complete baking:

1. Place the mix in the bread pan (the kneading paddle must already be in the bread pan). Follow package directions for adding other ingredients.

2. Place the bread pan in the Breadmaker. Make sure the pan is seated properly in the baking chamber (it will snap into place). Close the lid and press START.

3. At the end of the cooking time, the Breadmaker will beep to let you know baking is completed.

4. Using oven mitts, remove the bread pan from the baking chamber. Follow package directions for cooling and removing the baked goods from the bread pan.

If the Breadmaker does NOT find the barcode in its database:

If the Breadmaker does not find the barcode in its database, the Breadmaker will beep and the message NOT IN MEMORY will appear on the display.

To modify the times/temperatures in a standard baking cycle, please refer to “Customizing Pre-Programmed Baking Cycles” on page 25.

Why Does NOT IN MEMORY Appear in the Display?

Your Beyond Breadmaker comes pre-programmed with hundreds of recipes for preparing national brand bakery mixes. However, your Breadmaker may not recognize the barcodes for regional, private label, in-store, or distributor brands.

Using the Learn Function

Your Breadmaker saves a list of all unrecognized barcodes. If your Breadmaker is on a Home Hub network, the Home Hub will update the Breadmaker’s database at least once each day (depending on what type of Internet connection you have).

Your Breadmaker will now be able to recognize the barcode and program itself with the proper cooking instructions.

Using the Learn Function

When you scan a barcode that’s not already in the Breadmaker’s database, the message NOT IN MEMORY appears on the display. If this happens, you can use the Breadmaker’s Learn function to manually enter and save the baking program to the Breadmaker’s database. The next time you swipe the barcode, the Breadmaker will program itself to prepare the mix according to the instructions you entered.

Adding a New Baking Program to the Breadmaker’s Memory:

1. Press SCAN. The red light at the end of the scanning wand will illuminate. Scan the barcode on the package. (Please refer to Figure 3 for scanning procedure.) When the message NOT IN MEMORY flashes in the display. Press LEARN within 3 seconds.

2. “CUSTOM PROGRAM” will appear in the display. Enter the times and temperature required to prepare the mix. Please refer to the instructions in “Customizing PreProgrammed Baking Cycles” on page 25.

3. When you’re finished entering the baking program, press LEARN again to store the program in the Breadmaker’s memory.

The next time you scan another package of the same mix, the Breadmaker will recognize the barcode and automatically program itself to cook the food according to the instructions that you entered.

Using the Learn Function to Customize Cooking Programs

You may also use the Learn function to tailor the Breadmaker’s pre-programmed baking cycles to your individual preferences. Instructions that you manually enter using the Learn function take priority over pre-programmed cooking instructions.

5. Making Dough and Baking Bread

Tips and Hints for Good Results

The most important step when using your Breadmaker is measuring your ingredients. It is very important to measure each liquid and dry ingredient accurately. For best results, add ingredients in the order given in each recipe.

• All ingredients should be as fresh as possible. Packaged foods should not be past the expiration date.

• Take care to measure ingredients accurately, using a good set of measuring cups and spoons, or a good scale. Make sure to level all dry ingredients as you measure them. Inaccurate measuring could cause unexpected results in your loaf of bread. In particular, be precise in measuring the liquids.

• Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed in recipe.

• Flour will deteriorate when exposed to moisture. Be sure to store your flour in an airtight container.

• To keep your yeast active, store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Do not use yeast if the date code on the packet has expired.

• When using the Delay Bake Timer, set it for as short a time as possible. Because ingredients are partially combined in the bread pan, the dough may tend to deteriorate if left too many hours, especially on a warm or humid day.

• Do not use the Delay Bake Timer if the recipe includes perishable ingredients such as eggs or milk.

• Ingredients, such as fruit or nuts can be added to the Fruit/Nut Dispenser after placing ingredients in the bread pan.

• Keep the lid closed during the baking cycle. Opening it too frequently causes uneven baking.

• If the baking cycle is complete but the bread needs more baking, you may add more baking time using the Bake cycle for up to 2 hours of additional baking.

• After your bread has cooled completely, store it in a plastic bag or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

Guidelines for Packaged Mixes:

• For packaged bread mixes follow package directions to prepare a 1, 1-, or 2-pound loaf.

• For packaged cake mixes: Use mixes 16-ounces or larger.

• For packaged muffin mixes: Use mixes 9-ounces or larger.

• For packaged quick bread (batter bread) mixes: Use mixes 13-ounce or larger

• Some brands and/or flavors do not work in the Breadmaker, such as swirl coffee cakes.

• Follow package directions for adding correct amounts and temperature of water, eggs, oil, and all other ingredients.

Understanding Baking Cycle

• When using the scanning wand: If a mix is not in the Breadmaker’s database, follow package directions for the correct cycle.

• Use the Batter Bread cycle for all cake, quick breads and muffin mixes.

ERASE The display will prompt SAVE or ERASE. Select for YES or for NO.

Power Loss Memory

Your Beyond Breadmaker has a 60 minute power interrupt memory feature. If the electricity goes off, the memory will store the cycle in process for up to 60 minutes. If the power comes back on within this time, the cycle will resume where it left off. If the Breadmaker loses power for more than this time and you are using eggs, dairy products or meat in your bread, you should discard the contents of the recipe and start again with new fresh ingredients due to the risk of spoilage.

For non-perishable recipes you may try starting the Breadmaker at the beginning of the cycle. However, this may not always produce an acceptable loaf. If you are not sure when the outage occurred, remove the dough ball from the bread pan and place it in an oven-safe baking container. Allow it to double in size and place in a preheated 350º F/177º C oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until done. The bread will sound hollow when tapped on top of the loaf if it is done.

If the bread has already begun to bake when the outage occurs, you must begin with new ingredients.

When the power comes back on, you should do the following:

Press and hold down the STOP/RESET for at least 3 seconds. If the display does not return to the time setting before the outage, unplug the Breadmaker and then plug it back in.

• If you have a Home Hub network perform an Internet Update from your Home Hub to reset the clock and restore saved settings.

• If you do not have a Home Hub, reset the clock manually using the procedure on page 15.

6. Know Your Ingredients

It has been said that cooking is an art that relies on the creativity of the chef. Baking bread is much more of a science, since the process of combining flour, water and yeast results in a chemical reaction that produces bread. You must remember that when the ingredients combine with each other, they produce a specific result. The following information describes the roll of each ingredient used in the bread making process.

Seven grain cereal blend is a blend of cracked wheat, oats, bran, rye, cornmeal, flax seeds and hulled millet.

Gluten manufactured from wheat flour that has been treated to remove nearly all of the starch, which leaves a very high protein content. (Gluten is the protein in the wheat that makes the dough elastic.) Gluten is available at most health food stores and in the baking aisle in many markets. It is sometimes used in small portions with dense, low-gluten flours (such as whole wheat) to increase volume and lighten texture.

Whole wheat flour is milled from the entire wheat kernel, which contains the bran and germ. This high fiber flour is richer in nutrients than all-purpose or bread flour. Breads made with this flour are usually smaller and heavier than white loaves. Many recipes mix whole wheat flour with bread flour or vital wheat gluten to produce a high, light-textured bread.

dioxide gas necessary to make bread rise. Yeast feeds on carbohydrates in sugar and flour to produce this gas. Three different types of yeast are available: fresh (cake), active dry and quick-acting. Breadmaker, quick or rapid rise yeast is quick-acting. Fresh (cake) yeast is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with your Breadmaker.

Flour Storage

Keep flour in a secure, airtight container. Keep rye and whole wheat flours stored in a refrigerator, freezer or a cool area to prevent them from becoming rancid. Allow flour to come to room temperature before using.

Working with Yeast

Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking its expiration date. Once a package or jar of yeast is opened, it is important that the remaining contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated or frozen for future use. Often dough that fails to rise is due to stale yeast.

The following test can be used to determine if your yeast is stale and inactive.

Place  cup of lukewarm (110º F to 115º F/43º C to 46º C) water into a liquid measuring cup.

Stir 1 teaspoon of sugar into the water and then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of yeast over the surface.

Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes undisturbed.

The mixture should foam and rise to the 1 cup mark. If this does not occur, discard this yeast and purchase fresh yeast.

Working with Yeast

Note: The basic bread and dough recipes in this booklet were developed using active dry yeast. You may use the chart below to substitute any quick-acting yeast (quick rise, fast rise or Breadmaker yeast) for the active dry yeast or vice versa.

Conversion Chart for Quick-Acting Yeast

Active Dry Yeast Quick Acting Yeast

1 teaspoon =  teaspoon

1- teaspoons = 1 teaspoon

2- teaspoons 1- teaspoons

1 tablespoon = 2 teaspoons

Rapid Settings Additional Yeast Amounts:

The Rapid settings for White, French, Whole Wheat and Fruit & Nut decrease the time for making your favorite bread by approximately an hour. Choose a recipe, then simply ADD an additional  teaspoon of active dry or quick-acting yeast, whichever one you are using, to the recipe. The bread may be shorter and denser.

• All liquids should be warm, 80º F/27º C, for all recipes.

• Liquids, such as milk (1%, 2%, whole and skim), water or a com- bination of powdered milk and water, can be used when making bread.

• Milk will improve flavor, provide a velvety texture and soften the crust, while water alone will produce a crispier crust.

• Vegetable or fruit juices and potato water may be used for fla- vor variety.

• Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread dough and cakes. When the recipe calls for egg(s): bring them to room temperature first.

• You may substitute an egg for a portion of the liquid in a yeast bread recipe: crack any size egg into a liquid measuring cup, then add enough water to equal the amount listed in the recipe.

• The Batter Bread recipes call for specific size eggs.

• Shortening, butter and oil shorten, or tenderize, the texture of yeast breads. Breads that call for fat stay fresh longer.

• French bread gets its unique crust and texture from the lack of fat added.

• If butter is used directly from the refrigerator, it should be cut into small pieces for easier blending during the kneading cycle.

Measuring Your Ingredients

Liquid Measure

• Use transparent plastic or glass liquid measuring cups to measure all liquid ingredients.

• Place the cup on a horizontal flat surface and view markings at eye level. The level of the liquid must be aligned to the appropriate mark of measurement.

• Do not “guesstimate!”

Dry Measure

• Dry ingredients must be measured using standard dry measuring cups. These cups are available in various sizes.

• Gently spoon dry ingredients into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not scoop or tap measuring cup, as this will pack the ingredients. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe.

• Do not sift flour in bread making.

Recipe Tips

The recipes included in this book were developed for this Breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients that best compliment a particular loaf of bread and each was tested using the Beyond Breadmaker.

• It is extremely important not to exceed the amount of flour specified in each recipe, approximately 4-4- cups, or the bread may not be satisfactory.

• When using your own yeast bread recipes, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide for converting portions from your recipe to the Breadmaker.

Special Glazes for Yeast Breads

Select one of the following special glazes to enhance your bread. After glazing, if desired, generously sprinkle with your choice of poppy, sesame or caraway seeds.

Egg Glaze Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water together, brush

generously over dough. Note: Apply to breads just before baking.

Melted Butter Crust: Brush melted butter over just-baked bread for a softer,

tender crust.

Milk Glaze For a softer, shiny crust, brush just-baked bread with milk or cream.
