Using Your Breadmaker
Over the following pages we will take you through an introduction to your new breadmaker. We will show you detailed information on each of the steps involved with programming your breadmaker including selecting the programme, selecting the loaf size and measuring the ingredients. As we go through the guide we will cover all the key features and benefits of your breadmaker including the various baking programmes. We suggest you spend some time reading through these clearly as the more you read the more you will be able to create with your new machine.
1. Selecting the Programme
Your breadmaker has a number of programmes for creating a variety of different breads, doughs and even jam. A summary of each programme featured on your breadmaker is detailed below. To select a different programme, use the Increase Ô and Decrease buttons until the programme number you want appears in the top left corner of the screen Â.
The Cycle Time of the selected programme will automatically appear on the screen Ê. The time is displayed in hours and minutes and begins to count down to zero once the programme is started. Once you have selected your chosen programme, press the Accept/Start button Ò. The Loaf size icon È will illuminate.
You will also notice when you go further through the programming process that the baking time will automatically update based on the options you choose.
1 Basic white and brown (2:51 - 3:00)
For white and brown bread. Also for flavoured breads with added herbs and raisins as well as gluten free packet mixes.
2 Wholewheat (3:32 - 3:40)
For the baking of bread containing significant amounts of wholewheat. This setting has a longer preheat time to allow the grain to soak up the water and expand. It is not advised to use the delay timer as this can produce poor results.
3 Sweet (2:35 - 2:45)
For the baking of sweet type bread which gives a crisper crust than on basic setting. The crisper crust is produced by the sugar caramelising.
10 Gluten Free (2:35)
Using this setting you can create gluten free (yeast levened) bread. Coeliacs once diagnosed can gain gluten free flour on prescription from their doctor. Gluten free bread mixes are also available on prescription and in supermarkets, we however recommend baking these on Programme 1 as opposed to Programme 10 for best results.
11 Fastbake I (1:25)
For preparation of a 1.5lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist. For best results use the very dark crust setting.
12 Fastbake II (1:25)
For preparation of a 2lb white loaf in a reduced time period. Loaves made on this setting can be shorter and the texture more moist. For best results use the very dark crust setting.
13 Extra bake (1:00)
This setting is bake only and can be used to increase the baking time on selected settings. This is especially useful to help ‘set’ jams and marmalade. When started the default time is 1 hour (1:00) minimum and counts down in 10 minute intervals. You will have to manually switch this off by pressing the start /stop button, when you have completed the Extra bake process. It is advised that you check the condition of the bread or jam after 10 minutes and at 10 minute intervals. Pressing the Increase button Ô increases the time in increments of 10 minutes. When selecting Extra bake straight after another programme, if the message H:HH is displayed, open the Lid, remove the Baking Pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes. When cool, replace the Baking Pan and its contents, set programme and press start.
4 Sandwich (2:55 - 3:00)
This is to bake light texture bread but with a softer and thicker crust.
5 French (3:30 - 3:50)
For the baking of light weight bread such as French bread which has a crisper crust and light texture.
6 Dough (1:30)
This setting only makes the dough and will not bake the bread. Remove the dough and shape it to make bread rolls, pizza, etc. Any dough can be prepared on this setting. Do not exceed 1kg (2lb) of combined ingredients.
7 Jam (1:20)
Use this setting for making jam from fresh fruits and marmalade. Do not increase the quantity or allow the recipe to boil over the Baking Pan into the baking chamber. Should this happen, stop the machine immediately. Remove the Baking Pan carefully, allow to cool a little and clean thoroughly.
8 Bread mixes (2:30)
For preparation of approximately a 1lb loaf, using a packet of shop bought bread mix. These mixes usually come in two varieties: ‘Just add water’ and ‘Just add flour and water’.
9 Speciality (2:50)
The bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a more moist and dense texture. These breads do not use bread flour.
14 Pizza dough (0:50)
This setting can be used to mix plain or flavoured pizza dough, as well as fresh pasta dough. Once the programme is complete, the dough can be removed from the machine and shaped into pizza bases to be cooked in the oven, or cut into pasta to be boiled.
15 Quick (1:40)
For white bread that is required in a shorter time. Bread baked on this setting is usually smaller with a dense texture.
16 Homemade I
This setting allows you to alter the amount of time your bread is kneaded, risen and cooked for, to enable you to create your own perfect loaf. The Homemade function is for experienced breadmakers who understand how these processes affect bread and also for more inexperienced users who wish to use trial and error to create a truly individual loaf.
The breadmaker will automatically remember the settings you alter so you don’t have to remember them yourself. Once you have used either of the Homemade programmes, when you select them again, your previous settings will be shown. These can then be altered or used again.
17 Homemade II
See Homemade I for details.
See page 8 for more information on using the Homemade programmes.
