OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BREAD MAKER - BEGINNER’S GUIDE

13. Unplug the Bread Maker

a)While the bread is cooling, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

NOTE

If you wish to make another loaf of bread, allow approximately one hour cooling time before using again. Open or remove the lid to help cool the interior baking chamber. If the bread maker is too hot an error code will appear on the LCD screen. The bread maker will not operate until it cools down to the correct operating temperature for kneading. Refer to ‘Troubleshooting’, page 59.

b)With protective hot pads or insulted oven mitts, remove the paddle from the drive shaft inside the bread pan. Do not attempt to remove the paddle with your bare hand as it is very hot. If the paddle is difficult to remove, pour some warm water and a little detergent into the bread pan and allow to stand for 10-20 minutes to loosen baked-on crust or crumb residue.

NOTE

Never immerse the outside of the bread pan in water as this may interfere with the free movement of the wing- nut and drive shaft. Submerge and wash only the interior of the bread pan.

c)Refer to ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 49

14. Slice the Bread

a)When the bread has cooled sufficiently, place the bread onto a firmly seated breadboard.

TIP

Bread slices best when allowed to cool for a minimum of 20 minutes (preferably longer). This allows the steam to escape. The exception is yeast free breads. Refer to Step 12b, page 27. If you wish to serve bread warm, wrap it in foil and re-heat in the oven.

b)Ensure the paddle is not in the bottom of the baked bread loaf and slice using a serrated bread knife or electric knife. A standard flat-bladed kitchen knife is likely to tear the bread. For rectangular slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.

15. Store the Bread

Store unused bread tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Sealable plastic bags, plastic containers or a sealable bread box work well. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially-made bread. For longer storage, place bread in a sealable plastic bag, removing any air before sealing, then place in the freezer. Bread may be frozen for up to 1 month.

TIP

Leftover or slightly hardened bread can be used to make croutons, bread crumbs, bread cups, croustades, melba toast, crostini, bread pudding or stuffings.
