Flour In order for the bread to rise, the flour used has to have a sufficiently high protein content. Breville recommend the use of a good quality strong plain or bread flour. Liquids When liquids are mixed with flour, gluten is formed.
USING THE BREADMAKER For your first loaf of bread, we would recommend that you try the standard 750g or 1kg white bread recipe. When you have tasted the resulting loaf, it will allow you to vary the settings to suit your individual taste. Adding the ingredients Open the lid and remove the bread pan by pulling the bread pan handle upwards, until it releases...

USING THE BREADMAKER continued.. Place the bread pan inside the baking chamber. To do this, align the bread pan handle with the retaining clips on either side of the baking chamber. Fold down the bread pan handle. Using both hands apply downwards pressure on the bread pan until it locks into place.

USING THE BREADMAKER continued.. Selecting crust colour Note: crust colour can not be adjusted for programs 8-12. By default the crust colour will be set to ‘Medium’. To CRUST select the desired crust colour, press the CRUST button. Each press of the button cycles through Light, Medium or Dark crust.
USING THE BREADMAKER continued.. Removing the bread pan Important: steam may escape when the lid is opened. Always use oven gloves when opening the lid and removing the pan. Wearing oven gloves, hold the handle securely and lift the pan from the Breadmaker. Using oven gloves, turn the bread pan upside down and gently shake it to release the bread.
USING THE DELAY TIMER The Breadmaker is equipped with a delay timer to enable the breadmaking cycle to start at a predetermined time. Note: the timer should not be used in conjunction with certain recipes. Avoid using recipes, which contain fresh milk, eggs, fruit or vegetable purees when using the timer, as they could spoil.
Page 13
USING THE DELAY TIMER continued.. Example: If the time is 8:00 PM and you want the bread to be ready at 7.00 AM, you need to set the timer for an 11 hour delay. Press DELAY button until 11:00 appears on the display window, then press the START/STOP button.
PROGRAM GUIDE 1. Basic This program is primarily used for breads that use white flour. The bread will be slightly denser than French or Sweet breads, as there are fewer rising cycles and the overall cycle time is shorter. 2. Turbo The Turbo setting is used to decrease the overall completion time of your bread.
Page 15
PROGRAM SETTINGS GUIDE continued... 4. Wheat Rapid This program is similar to the Wheat program but with a shorter completion time. However it is not suitable to use 100% granary or wholemeal flour. 5. Sweet Use this program for recipes that include fruit juice, additional sugar or added ingredients such as coconut, raisins or chocolate.
HINTS AND TIPS Important measuring tips Each ingredient in the loaf of bread plays a specific role, so it is extremely important to measure the ingredients correctly to get the best results. Wherever possible we recommend weighing bulk ingredients such as flour on a kitchen scale.
Page 17
HINTS AND TIPS continued... Order of Ingredients Always put the liquid in first, the dry ingredients in next and the yeast in last. Fruit and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the first knead. This will ensure a crisp and evenly baked loaf every time. All liquids ie: water, milk, syrup, honey, oil.
HINTS AND TIPS continued... Freshness Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used before the specified use-by-date. Avoid using perishable ingredients such as milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese with the time delay function. Store dry ingredients in airtight containers, to prevent drying out. Slicing Bread For best results, wait at least 10 minutes before slicing, as the bread needs time to cool.
