The Baking Process

Mixing, Kneading, Rising, Baking.... Here’s

a glimpse of how your Sunbeam Quantum SmartBake automatically does all the steps for you.

Mixing and kneading

In standard bread baking, the baker mixes the ingredients first by stirring, then by kneading the dough by hand. The Quantum SmartBake mixes and kneads the dough automatically for you.

Rising

When making bread by hand, the dough is placed in a warm place to rise after mixing, so that the yeast can ferment and produce gas. After mixing the dough, the Quantum SmartBake maintains the optimum temperature for rising during this part of the process.

If you are using the Dough Only cycle, the Quantum SmartBake will stop at the end of the first rising. The dough can now be removed and shaped - focaccia, pizza or any other creations, and placed in your own oven for baking.

Knock Down

Once the dough has risen, the baker will typically “knock down” the dough. This process helps to break apart large, unwanted pockets of air and gas that have developed through rising, giving the bread a more even and appetising texture. The Quantum SmartBake handles this process automatically for you by turning on the kneading blade for just the right amount of time.

Second Rise

After it is knocked down, the bread bounces back, it rises a second time. Some breads require shorter or longer rising times. For example, wheat breads require a long rising time because the flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibits rising. The Quantum SmartBake regulates the temperature and timing of this second rise automatically for you based on your selection.

The Quantum SmartBake automatically regulates baking time and temperature for perfect results every time!

Cool

In standard baking, the baker removes the bread from the pan immediately to keep the crust from turning soggy. However the Quantum SmartBake has a 60 minute keep warm feature which helps remove the hot air from the baking chamber after the bread is done. This keeps the crust from getting soggy. After removing the bread leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
