Beginner’s guide to baking your first loaf continued

Step 5: Close the lid

It is not recommended to open the lid during operation except to check the consistency of the dough and add additional ingredients in the kneading cycle, or to glaze and add seeds to the top of the loaf in the baking cycle (refer page R35).

Step 6: Plug in the bread machine

Insert the power plug into a 230/240V volt power outlet. Switch on at the power outlet.

The LED Screen will show 1P then automatically change to show the total time 3:00 for the setting (BASIC bread, MEDIUM crust). A red light will illuminate beside BASIC on the MENU list on the Control Panel.

Step 7: Select the bread setting and crust colour

Press the MENU button until the LED Screen indicates the number of the required setting. The red light on the MENU list will also indicate the setting selected.

The letter P (MEDIUM crust) will also show in the LED Screen when a bread setting is selected.

Press the CRUST button once to select H (DARK crust) or twice to select L (LIGHT crust).

The crust selection is available on bread settings 1-7.

The BASIC, RAPID, SWEET, FRENCH, WHOLE WHEAT and GLUTEN FREE BREAD settings are programmed to make a 1kg loaf. However, a 750g loaf can be made on the same setting. When making a 750g loaf it is recommended to remove the loaf 10 minutes before the end of the baking cycle. The weight of the bread will vary depending on the weight of the raw ingredients used (including the weight of the water).

Note

Step 8: Start the bread machine

Press the START/STOP button to commence operation. The total setting time will appear on the LED Screen. The setting time will count down in one minute increments. The colon : between the hour and the minutes displayed will flash throughout the kneading, rising and baking cycles.

The kneading cycles commence. During the kneading cycles beeps will sound indicating the correct time to add other ingredients.

Add-In Ingredient Beeper

The Baker’s Oven features an ‘Add-In Ingredient Beeper’ which operates in the BASIC, RAPID, SWEET, FRENCH, WHOLE WHEAT and DOUGH settings. The bread machine will sound 10 beeps at approximately 8 minutes before the end of the second kneading cycle, indicating the time to add any additional fruit, nuts, herbs, chocolate, etc. required or as specified in the recipes.

The addition of ingredients at this time assists with keeping fruits, etc. whole, rather than being mashed through the dough making it heavy.

Open the lid, gradually add the additional ingredients to the dough as it is kneading. Take care not to drop the ingredients over the side of the bread pan into the baking chamber, as these may burn and smoke during the baking cycle. Close the lid.

DO NOT PRESS THE STOP BUTTON TO ADD INGREDIENTS AS THIS WILL CANCEL THE SELECTED PROGRAM.

The rising cycles begin when the kneading cycles end and the dough will start to rise. During the rising cycles, the dough will be degassed twice by the blade moving at the end of the first and second rising cycles. The dough rises fully in the third rising cycle.
