Setting descriptions
NOTE: The number in brackets following each setting description represents the total program time.
Basic breads
These settings are used for breads which primarily use white flour. These settings have the minimum number of rising cycles and the shortest overall times until baking is completed. Therefore, loaves will be slightly denser than French or Sweet breads.
Setting 1 – Small (2 hours 45 minutes)
Setting 1 is for smaller loaves and takes less time than Setting 2 and 3. Use this setting if you are adding ingredients such as cheese or nuts as they tend to brown easily.
Setting 2 – Large (2 hours 50 minutes)
Setting 2 and 3 are for large loaves. Most recipes use Setting 2.
Setting 3 - Large Dark (3 hours 10 minutes) Setting 3 has a longer baking time and will produce
a loaf with a darker crust.
Whole wheat/wholemeal
These settings are used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or wholemeal flour. They begin with a delay period of 30 minutes during which the flours or grains soak in the liquid ingredients.
Soaking causes the flour or grain to soften and
helps ingredients to combine well. These settings also have an extra rise cycle to allow heavy wheat/grains to expand. Breads made with wholewheat/wholemeal flour are lower in volume and have a dense texture, compared to breads made with white flour.
Setting 4 - Small (4 hours 20 minutes)
Setting 5 - Large (4 hours 30 minutes)
Setting 5 has a slightly longer bake time than 4 and loaves will have a darker crust. Use 4 to obtain a lighter crust or for recipes with added ingredients (bran, raisins, dried fruit, fruit juice) which may brown easily.
Setting 6 - Large Rapid (3 hours 20 minutes)
Specialty
Setting 7 – French (3 hours 30 minutes) Traditionally French bread has a crispier crust and
lighter inside texture than basic breads.
Setting 8 - Sweet (3 hours 25 minutes)
Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice,
additional sugar, or added sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning and the extra rise cycle gives the loaves a light, airy texture.
Setting 9 – Dough (1 hours 30 minutes)
This setting makes dough only and will not bake the final bread. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, doughnuts and round or braided breads that must then be baked in an oven or fried in a deep fryer (ie. doughnuts). Follow dough recipes for specific directions.
Setting 10 – Cake (1 hours 50 minutes)
Setting 11 – Jam (1 hour)
