RECIPES - FLAVOURED BUTTERS

BREAD

The Breville Futura Snack Maker is designed for large sized bread. With extra large cooking plates, even the super sized bread is easily cut and sealed for the perfect toasted snack.

Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content, remember that they tend to brown much more quickly.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated.

Be careful when biting into sandwiches containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly.

One quarter cup of filling for each sandwich is sufficient. Do not overfill your sandwiches.

BUTTER OR MARGARINE

For best results we recommend to butter the outside of the bread ie place filling between the unbuttered sides of bread.

If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule counting, the outside of the bread may be

left unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier.

To season, brush the plates with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper. Do this after preheating the unit.

Do not use spray on non-stick coatings as this will effect the performance of the non- stick surface on the cooking plates.

For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of castor sugar over the outer buttered sides of the bread will make them extra delicious.

For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for spreading on bread.

PASTRY

Frozen pastry will snap in the Futura Snack Maker. Ready-rolled is the easiest to use, either in sheets or from a roll. See page 10 for further details.

REHEATING

If the sandwich is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven, about 100°C. The sandwich will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.

Add interest to your toasted sandwiches by using a flavoured butter on the outside of your bread. Store unused butter in the refrigerator. Each recipe makes approximately 1/2 cup butter.

Before cleaning, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the plug.

Allow your Futura Snack Maker to cool slightly. The unit is easier to clean when slightly warm.

Always clean your Futura Snack Maker after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.

Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked on food is not removed by this method, brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.
