OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

TIP

There are three main types of domestic yeast available: −− Cake Yeast: also known as fresh yeast or wet yeast −− Active Dry Yeast

−− Instant Yeast: also known as quick-rise yeast, rapid- rise yeast, fast-rising yeast, fast-acting yeast or bread machine yeast.

Cake Yeast is not recommended for use with the bread maker. We recommend using Active Dry Yeast, added directly into the flour (no dissolving necessary) if the liquid ingredients are 27°C (80°F), unless stated otherwise.

For the shorter BASIC RAPID and WHOLE WHEAT RAPID settings, use only Instant Yeast or the bread will not rise properly during the shortened ‘rise’ phase. We also recommend adding Vital Wheat Gluten when using these settings. For recommended quantities, Refer to ‘Vital Wheat Gluten’, page 45 and ‘Yeast’, page 46.

Yeast must be separate from wet ingredients, so always ensure to layer ingredients in the bread pan in the order listed in the recipe (liquids, fats, dry ingredients, yeast). When using the Delay Start feature, this is particularly important as the yeast should not be placed in direct contact with water, salt or sugar as these can prematurely activate or decrease the activity of the yeast and the bread may not rise. When using the Delay Start feature, we recommend layering the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe, making a small hollow in the centre of the flour (ensuring the hollow does not touch the water, salt or sugar layer) then placing the yeast in the hollow.

NOTE

Do not underfill or overfill the bread pan as the bread may not mix properly. The recipes in this book are designed for 0.5kg to 1.25kg (1lb to 2.5lb) loaves. However if developing your own recipes, as a general guide, a minimum 2 cups and maximum 4.5 cups of total dry ingredients is recommended. On the jam setting, as a general guide, a maximum 3 cups of fruit should be used.

4. Return the Bread Pan to the Baking Chamber

a)Align the wing-nut on the underside of the bread pan with the drive mechanism in the interior baking chamber of the stainless steel housing. You may need to turn the wing-nut slightly if you have difficulty aligning it onto the drive mechanism. Push down firmly until the bread pan is securely in position.

It is important that the bread pan is properly assembled onto the drive mechanism to ensure the paddle operates correctly.

b)Lower the lid. It is not recommended to lift open the lid during operation unless stated in the recipe, to check the consistency of the dough during the ‘knead’ phase, or to glaze and add seeds to the top of the loaf during the ‘bake’ phase. Refer to ‘Using the Pause Feature’, page 31.

5. Load the Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser

The Automatic Fruit and Nut Dispenser releases fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, seeds or other suitably sized ingredients into the dough at the right time which is programmed for a specific time during the ‘knead’ phase. If added before this time, excessive kneading will cause the ingredients to break down rather than maintain their shape within the dough.
