Fastbake
For Fastbake models only (48230 series)
The Fastbake programme (1 hour 20mins) is designed to produce a traditional white loaf in a fraction of the time it takes with the standard programme. Quality of taste and texture is generally retained using this method. The cycle time is reduced by starting the dough mixture at higher temperature so the ingredients and temperature are more critical.
•As the Fastbake programme is dependent on the correct water temperature, it is recommended that you do not use the delay timer.
•Use lukewarm water at
•All ingredients should be at room temperature.
•Do not attempt to make 100% whole wheat or other natural grain breads, as this setting is unsuitable.
•Always use strong white bread flour, recipes using Fastbake should contain at least 65% bread flour.
•Do not open the lid.
•The keep warm function operates as usual with this programme (bread will be kept warm for 1 hour).
•If baking several loaves, turn off, remove the pan and allow to cool with the lid open for at least 30 minutes between makings. This will allow the control to cool down for accurate temperature sensing which is critical for Fastbake.
•A crack may form on top of the crust caused by the higher temperature which is a feature of traditional bread.
•Loafs of bread made on this setting can be shorter.
