Things you should know about your breadmaker
• Your bread maker makes regular 450g (1lb) and
large 675g (11/2lb) loaves of bread (approx weights)
• There are 11 settings, including one for dough.
• A ‘Keep Warm’ function prevents the bread from
getting soggy by keeping finished bread warm up
to an hour after the baking is completed. This
function stops when the unit is turned OFF/STOP or
unplugged.
• An ‘added-ingredient’ function signals with an
audible tone when it is time to add ingredients
such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with the Basic
Breads (2-3) and Sweet (8) settings. The signal
tone comes on 32 minutes into the cycle (after
initial kneading) so that your fruit or nuts will
remain whole rather than be chopped up by the
kneading blade. If you use the TIMER to delay
baking, you may add all ingredients at once and
bypass this function; however, your fruit or nuts
may get somewhat ‘chopped’.

• Do not cover the bread maker with towels or other
material that may prevent steam from escaping.
Some steaming from vents is normal.
• Do not place any objects on top of the bread
maker.
• Unplug the unit and wait until it cools, then
remove any food substances from inside the inner
case of the Breadmaker by wiping with a damp
sponge or cloth. See ‘Care and Cleaning’, page 12
for full cleaning details.
• IMPORTANT: Always add ingredients in the order
they are specified in the recipe. For best results,
accurate measuring of ingredients is very
important. The breadmaker and the
ingredients should be at room temperature.
Do not put larger quantities than recommended
into the baking pan as it may produce poor results
and may damage the bread maker.

Before first use
Enjoy using your Morphy Richards Breadmaker.
Before first use, please take a few minutes to read
this instruction book and to find a place to keep it
handy for reference.
Pay particular attention to the safety instructions
we have provided for your protection.

Carefully unpack the Breadmaker and remove all
packaging materials. To remove any dust that may
have accumulated during packing, wipe the baking
pan, kneading blade and outside surface of the
Breadmaker with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use
scouring pads or any abrasives on any part of the
Breadmaker.

Setting descriptions
NOTE: The number in brackets following each setting
description represents the total program time.

Basic breads
These settings are used for breads which primarily
use white flour. These settings have the minimum
number of rising cycles and the shortest overall times
until baking is completed. Therefore, loaves will be
slightly denser than French or Sweet breads.
Setting 1 – Small (2 hours 45 minutes)
Setting 1 is for smaller loaves and takes less time
than Setting 2 and 3. Use this setting if you are adding
ingredients such as cheese or nuts as they tend to
brown easily.
Setting 2 – Large (2 hours 50 minutes)
Setting 2 and 3 are for large loaves. Most recipes
use Setting 2.
Setting 3 - Large Dark (3 hours 10 minutes)
Setting 3 has a longer baking time and will produce
a loaf with a darker crust.

Whole wheat/wholemeal

Specialty
Setting 7 – French (3 hours 30 minutes)
Traditionally French bread has a crispier crust and
lighter inside texture than basic breads.

Setting 8 - Sweet (3 hours 25 minutes)
Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice,
additional sugar, or added sweet ingredients such as
coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking
temperature is reduced to prevent burning and the
extra rise cycle gives the loaves a light, airy texture.

Setting 9 – Dough (1 hours 30 minutes)
This setting makes dough only and will not bake
the final bread. Dough can be shaped to make pizza,
rolls, doughnuts and round or braided breads that
must then be baked in an oven or fried in a deep fryer
(ie. doughnuts). Follow dough recipes for specific
directions.
Setting 10 – Cake (1 hours 50 minutes)
Setting 11 – Jam (1 hour)

These settings are used for recipes with significant
amounts of whole wheat or wholemeal flour. They
begin with a delay period of 30 minutes during which
the flours or grains soak in the liquid ingredients.
Soaking causes the flour or grain to soften and
helps ingredients to combine well. These settings also
have an extra rise cycle to allow heavy wheat/grains to
expand. Breads made with wholewheat/wholemeal
flour are lower in volume and have a dense texture,
compared to breads made with white flour.
Setting 4 - Small (4 hours 20 minutes)
Setting 5 - Large (4 hours 30 minutes)
Setting 5 has a slightly longer bake time than 4 and
loaves will have a darker crust. Use 4 to obtain a
lighter crust or for recipes with added ingredients
(bran, raisins, dried fruit, fruit juice) which may brown
easily.
Setting 6 - Large Rapid (3 hours 20 minutes)

How to use your breadmaker
The 8 bread settings in this unit will combine
ingredients, knead and make bread from start to finish
automatically. The DOUGH setting makes dough for a
variety of recipes but you must shape and bake the
dough yourself in an oven. To delay completion, the
automatic TIMER may be programmed to make bread
or dough while you are at work or asleep. (See ‘Using
The Timer For Delayed Completion’ pg. 11).

For all settings (1 to 11)
1 Open the lid and remove the Baking Pan by pulling
straight up on the handle. It is important to remove
the Baking Pan from the unit rather than putting
ingredients into the Pan while it is in place to avoid
accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case.
Warning:
Place your automatic breadmaker where it is level,
stable and secure.
2 Attach the kneading blade onto the shaft inside the
baking pan by lining up the flat side of the blade
with the flat side on the shaft. Push the blade
firmly onto the shaft.
• Be sure to set the kneading blade firmly into place
otherwise the blade may come off during
operation, which may affect the kneading or
mixing.
• Be sure the shaft is clean of any residue (i.e.
dough). This will ensure the kneading blade will
fully seat into place.
3 Measure ingredients carefully and
accurately.
• To measure liquids, use the cup provided and check
the measurement at eye level.
• When measuring dry ingredients, use the cup
provided (ensure it is dried after measuring the
liquid) and level the ingredients with a straight
edge knife.
• Inaccurate measurement, even if only slightly out,
can make a difference in results. Use the measuring
spoon and level off with a straight edge knife. (See
‘Measuring your ingredients’ pages 14-15).
• Always add ingredients into the baking pan in the
order they are listed.
• Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the yeast
does not touch the liquid ingredients.
• Be careful not to mix the yeast with any
of the wet ingredients especially when
using the delayed timer feature, otherwise
the bread may not rise properly.

4 Place the baking pan back into the unit. with the
word FRONT on the rim of the Pan facing towards
the front of the Breadmaker. Push down on the
pan until you hear it click firmly into place. Fold the
handle down.

Special Note
If the baking pan is not installed in the proper
orientation or firmly clicked into place the kneading
blade will fail to operate. The baking pan can only be
installed in one position as indicated.
5 Close the lid and connect the plug to an electrical
socket. You will hear a beep sound and the display
window will be blank.

6 Select the appropriate
setting for your recipe
(1-11 or 0-12 dependent
on model) by pressing
the SELECT button on
the pad. Each time
SELECT is pressed, the
number in the display
window will advance to
the next setting.

7 Press START. The baking
time in hours and minutes
will appear in the display.
For example, if you chose
a recipe using setting 1,
the display will show 2:45. It will count down the
remaining bake time in one-minute decrements (2:44,
2:43, etc) until the bread is done. When the baking
time is completed, a signal tone will sound three times
and the display window will flash ‘END’.

makers surface, do not put any object or the hot
baking pan on top of the unit.
8 This Breadmaker is designed with a ‘Keep Warm’
function that automatically begins when the BAKE
time is completed. At the end of the BAKE cycle
‘END’ will appear (in the display window) up to 60
minutes after baking is complete and will keep the
bread warm during that time. You may remove the
baking pan at any time during the ‘Keep Warm’
cycle. To turn off the ‘Keep Warm’ feature before
the 60 minutes are up, simply press the STOP
button and hold it for 3 seconds until you hear a
‘beep’. END will disappear and the display window
will now be blank.
• UNPLUG THE UNIT WHEN FINISHED. Never
leave the unit plugged in when not in use.
The ‘Keep Warm’ feature is not provided for the jam
or DOUGH settings 5. If you keep finished dough in
the Breadmaker over a period of time, it may overrise and produce poor results. For best results,
remove dough at the end of the cycle and follow the
recipe directions for shaping, resting and baking.
9 This Breadmaker has a convenient Viewing Window
so that you may watch the progress of the bread as
it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally some
moisture may be formed in the window during
processing. If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to
look inside during the mixing and kneading stages,
however do not open the lid during the
baking cycle (approximately the last hour or so)
as this may cause the bread to collapse.
10 To remove the bread from the baking pan, use an
oven glove or oven mitts and pull straight up on
the baking pan handle. Turn the pan upside down
and shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack.
The baking pan has a non-stick coated finish so that
the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal
utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the
non-stick coating. If you have difficulty removing
bread from the baking pan, slide a flat rubber or
plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen
the loaf. Turn the pan over and shake the loaf out.
Allow the bread to cool before slicing (See ‘Slicing
and Storing Bread’ page 11).
• If the kneading blade remains in the bottom of the
baking pan, it may be necessary to fill the baking
pan with warm water in order to loosen the
kneading blade from the shaft.

Warning
Do not place the baking pan or any other object on
the top of the unit. To avoid damaging the bread

• If the kneading blade remains in the bottom of the
loaf of bread, use the end of a plastic spoon or
other non-metal utensil to remove. Always check to
see where the kneading blade is when removing a
baked loaf of bread. If it remains stuck in the bread
you may accidentally damage it by cutting into it
while slicing.

Using the timer for delayed
completion
Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the
completion of your bread. This feature allows you to
delay the bake time for up to 12 hours plus the cycle
time. For example, you can set the TIMER in the evening
and wake to fresh bread the following morning.
NOTE: Be sure you have followed the ‘How to Use
Your Breadmaker’ steps 1-6 in preparing the
ingredients in the baking pan. It is not recommended
that you use the ‘Delayed Completion’ function and
TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients which
might be spoiled such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream,
or cheese.
1 To set the TIMER, determine when you would like
your bread to be finished.
• For example, if it is 8pm when you place all your
ingredients in the baking pan and you would like
to wake up to the aroma of fresh-baked bread at
8am, you will want a total of 12 hours before your
bread is complete. Once you have chosen the
appropriate setting for your recipe (for example, if
you are doing a Sweet bread, you will push SELECT
until 8 is showing in the display), you simply set the
TIMER to bring it up to your total hours – in this
case 12 hours.
2 Press the ▲ arrow on the control panel and 3:25 –
the timer for setting 8 – will automatically come up
in the display window. Continue to Press ▲ until
the display reads 12:00 (or is as close to this as
possible, since your timer moves in 10 minute
increments, your actual reading for this setting will
be 11:55 or 12:25).
• You do not need to mathematically calculate the
difference between the setting time (3:25) and the
total hours you want (12:00). The machine will
automatically adjust to include the setting time.
Simply set the TIMER for your total hours (12).
• If you pass the desired time, simply press ▼ to go
back.

3 Once you have set the time, press START. The colon
(:) in the display will flash to indicate that the
TIMER has been set and the countdown will begin.
The TIMER will count down in one-minute
increments. When the display reaches END, your
bread is complete and the beeper will sound.
4 If you make a mistake while setting the TIMER,
press and hold the STOP button until it beeps. This
will clear the display and you can set the TIMER
again.

Slicing and storing bread
For best results place bread on a wire rack and
allow to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. You
may use an electric knife for even slices. Otherwise, use
a sharp knife with a serrated blade.
Store unused bread tightly covered at room
temperature for up to three days. If weather is hot and
humid, store in the refrigerator overnight. For longer
storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly
covered container in the freezer. If you store the bread
in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room
temperature before serving. Since homemade bread
has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become
stale faster than commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into
1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5cm (1 inch) cubes and used in
favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or
stuffing.

Care and cleaning
Caution
To prevent electrical shock, unplug the unit before
cleaning. Wait until the breadmaker has cooled prior
to cleaning. Do not immerse or splash either the body
or lid in any liquid as this may cause damage and/or
electric shock.
For best performance and maintenance, it
is recommended to clean the Breadmaker
after each use as follows:

Outer body, lid and inner case
P

Wipe the lid and outer
body of the unit with a
damp cloth or slightly
dampened sponge. Use a
damp sponge or cloth to
wipe out any flour,
crumbs, or other materials
from the inner case.

Baking pan and kneading blade
Both the baking pan and kneading blade have a
non-stick coated surface. Do not use any harsh
cleansers, abrasive materials
or utensils which may scratch
their surfaces. Over time, the
non-stick surface may change
in appearance due to
moisture and steam. This is
normal and has no effect on
its use or quality.
Remove the baking pan
and kneading blade from the
inner case before cleaning.
To remove the blade from
the baking pan, hold the
drive underneath the base of
the pan. If required, rotate
the blade back and forth a
few times and pull to
remove.
If you still have difficulty
removing the blade, fill the
baking pan with hot, but not
boiling, water and allow to
soak for 30 minutes. This should loosen the blade
enough for it to be removed.
Wipe the outside of the baking pan with a damp
cloth. You may hand wash the inside of the baking
pan with soapy water. The drive shaft on the inside
base of the pan should also be cleaned.
The hole in the centre of the kneading blade
should be cleaned with a plastic or wooden tooth pick
and a drop of cooking oil put in the hole to prevent
sticking.

The kneading blade should be removed
and cleaned after each use.
If the blade remains in the base of the loaf
of bread, carefully remove and clean.
Do not use any of these when
cleaning your breadmaker:
• Paint Thinner
• Benzine
• Steel Wool
Pads
• Polishing
Powder
• Chemical
Dustcloth
CAUTION:
None of the breadmaker parts are dishwasher
safe. DO NOT place the baking pan or kneading
blade in the dishwasher. Never submerge the
baking pan in water.
Special care for the non-stick finish.
Avoid damaging the coating. Do not use metal
utensils such as spatulas, knives or forks.
The coating may change colour after long use, this
is only caused by moisture and steam and will not
affect the performance of the unit or quality of your
bread.

Storing the unit
Be sure to dry all parts before storing including
wiping any moisture from the viewing window. Close
the lid and do not store anything on top of the lid.

The electrical cord
The cord length of this appliance has been selected
to reduce the possibility of tangling or tripping over a
longer cord. If additional cord length is needed, an
extension cord rated not less than 13 amperes, 240
volts and BS certified, may be used. If using an
extension, be sure to arrange it so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped on.

Troubleshooting
Specific questions about the breadmaker functions
and problems with ingredients or recipes are addressed
in the ‘Need Help?’ section starting on page 25.

Knowing your ingredients
Introduction
Waking to the smell of homemade bread baking in
the kitchen is one of the most comforting memories of
childhood. Can you remember rushing downstairs to
taste the bread, hot out of the oven, with butter
melting on top? What a great way to start the
morning. The breadmaker can create that same
experience every morning.
There's very little effort on the part of the baker,
because this automatic breadmaker is a sophisticated
counter top appliance with a computer memory that
does all the work for you. Just follow the recipe
instructions, and wake up to fresh baked bread in your
automatic breadmaker. But don't stop at baking bread
in this appliance. Besides being able to do all kinds of
speciality breads, including wholemeal, you can also
prepare doughs for croissants, bagels, doughnuts,
pizzas and more. Everything is easy and tastes
homemade, because it is.

Understanding baking
It is often said that cooking is an art relying on the
creativity of the chef while baking bread is much more
of a science. This means that the process of combining
flour, water and yeast results in a chemical reaction
that produces bread. You have to remember that
when the ingredients combine with each other they
produce a specific result. Read the following
information carefully to gain a better understanding
of the importance each ingredient plays in the
breadmaking process.

Important special note on flours
Flours, while visibly similar, can be very different by
virtue of how they were grown, milled, stored, etc.
You may find that you will have to experiment with
different brands of flour to help you make that perfect
loaf. A Baking Tips Guide has been provided on pages
28-29 of this book to assist you with these experiments.
Storage is also very important, as all flours should be
kept in a secure, airtight container.
All purpose flour/plain flour
All-Purpose Flour is a blend of refined hard and soft
wheat flours especially suitable for making cake
breads. This type of flour should be used for recipes in
the cake/quick bread section.
Strong plain flour/bread flour
Bread Flour is a high gluten/protein flour that has
been treated with conditioners that give dough a
greater tolerance during kneading. Bread Flour
typically has a higher gluten concentration than All
Purpose Flour; however, depending on different
milling practices this may vary. Strong plain flour or

bread flour are recommended for use with this
Breadmaker.
Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour
Whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour is milled from
the entire wheat kernel which contains the bran and
germ and makes it heavier and richer in nutrients than
All purpose flour. Breads made with this flour are
usually smaller and heavier than white loaves due to
the sharp edges of the bran and the germ cutting the
gluten strands. To overcome this whole wheat
flour/wholemeal flour is usually mixed with Bread flour
or strong plain flour to produce a high light textured
bread.
Self-raising flour
Self Raising Flour contains unnecessary leavening
ingredients that will interfere with bread and cake
making. It is not recommended for use.
Bran
Bran (unprocessed) & Wheat Germ are the coarse
outer portions of the wheat or rye grains separated
from flour by sifting or bolting. They are often added
in small quantities to bread for nutritional enrichment,
heartiness and flavour. They are also used to enhance
the texture of bread.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal comes from rolled or steel-cut oats. They
are used primarily to enhance flavour and texture.
Yeasts (active dry yeast)
Yeast through a fermentation process produces gas
(carbon dioxide) necessary to make the bread rise.
Yeast must be able to feed on sugar and flour
carbohydrates in order to produce this gas. Active dry
granular yeast is used in all recipes that call for yeast.
There are basically three different types of yeast
available, fresh, dry and instant quick rising. It is
recommended that traditional dry yeast be used,
however, instant quick rising can also be used in lesser
amounts. (Note: The recipes in this cookbook were
developed using traditional dry yeast). Fresh or
compressed cake yeast is not recommended as they
will produce poor results. Store yeast according to
manufacturers instructions. Ensure your yeast is fresh
by checking its expiration date. Once a package or can
of yeast is opened it is important that the remaining
contents be immediately resealed and refrigerated as
soon as possible for future use. Often bread or dough,
which fails to rise, is due to stale yeast being used. The
following test can be used to determine whether your
yeast is stale and inactive:
1 Place half cup of lukewarm water into a small bowl
or cup.
2 Stir 1 tsp. of sugar into the water then sprinkle 2
tsp. of yeast over the surface.
3 Place bowl or cup in a warm area and allow to sit
for 10 minutes undisturbed.

4 The mixture should foam and produce a strong
yeast aroma. If this does not occur, discard mixture
and start again with another packet of dried yeast.
Sugar
Sugar is important for the colour and flavour of
breads. It is also food for the yeast as it supports the
fermentation process. Artificial sweeteners cannot be
used as a substitute for sugar as the yeast will not react
properly with them.
Salt
Salt is necessary to balance the flavour of breads
and cakes, as well as for the crust colour that develops
during baking. Salt also limits the growth of yeast so
the amounts shown in the recipes should not be
increased. For dietary reasons it may even be
eliminated entirely, however, your bread may overproof and rise higher than normal.
Liquids/milk
Liquids such as milk or a combination of powdered
milk and water, can be used when making bread. Milk
will improve flavour, provide a velvety texture and
soften the crust, while water alone will produce a
crispier crust. Some liquids call for juice (orange, apple,
etc) to be added as a flavour enhancer. Note: For most
recipes we suggest the use of dry skimmed milk.
Eggs
Eggs add richness and a velvety texture to bread
doughs and cakes.
Butter & margarine
Butter and Margarine ‘shortens’ or tenderises the
texture of yeast breads. Breads that call for butter stay
fresh longer. If butter or margarine is used direct from
the refrigerator, it should as softened for easier
blending during the kneading cycle. Sunflower oil can
be used as a substitute for butter or margarine.

Measuring your ingredients
The key and most important step when using your
Breadmaker is measuring your ingredients precisely
and accurately. It is extremely important to measure
each liquid and dry ingredient properly or it could
result in a poor or unacceptable baking result. The
ingredients must also be added into the baking pan in
the order in which they are given in each recipe. Liquid
and dry measurements are done somewhat differently
and are as follows:
Liquid Measurements
Use the cup provided. When reading amounts, the
measuring cup must be placed on a horizontal flat
surface and viewed at eye level (not on an angle).
The liquid level line must be aligned to the mark of
measurement. A ‘guesstimate’ is not good enough
as it could throw out the critical balance of the
recipe.

Dry Measurements
Dry measurements (especially flours) must be done
using the measuring cup provided. Dry measuring must
be done by gently spooning ingredients into the
measuring cup and then once filled, levelling off with
a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup will pack
the ingredients and you will end up with more than is
required. This extra amount could affect the balance of
the recipe. Do not sift the flour, unless stated.

Baking powder
Baking powder is a raising agent used in quick
breads and cakes. This type of raising agent does not
require rising time before baking as the chemical
reaction works when liquid ingredients are added.
Bicarbonate of soda
Bicarbonate of Soda is another raising agent not to
be confused or substituted for baking powder. It also
does not require rising time before baking as the
chemical reaction works during baking process.

When measuring small amounts of dry or liquid
ingredients (ie yeast, sugar, salt, powdered milk,
honey, molasses) the standard measuring spoon which
is provided must be used. Measurements must be
level, not heaped as this small difference could throw
out the critical balance of the recipe.
Your breadmaker produces delicious baked goods
with ease. This machine asks only that you carefully
follow the recipe instructions. In basic cooking,
normally ‘a pinch of this and a dash of that’ is fine, but

not for breadmakers. Using an automatic breadmaker
requires you accurately measure each ingredient
(especially yeast and water) for best results. For best
results, have your ingredients and breadmaker at room
temperature unless otherwise specified.

Ingredient temperatures
All ingredients, especially liquids (water or milk),
should be warmed to room temperature 21°C (70°F). If
ingredients are too cold, below 10°C (50°F), they will
not activate the yeast. Extremely hot liquids, above
40°C (104°F), may kill the yeast.

Creating your own yeast breads
With the breadmaker, even the most inexperienced
baker can achieve the satisfying experience of baking a
loaf of bread. All of the mystery and hard work is
gone. Inside this talented machine with a computer
brain, the dough is mixed, kneaded, proofed and
baked without you being present. The automatic
breadmaker can also just prepare the dough, and
when it's ready, you shape and bake in a conventional
oven. The recipes on the following pages are ‘tailored’
or this breadmaker. Each recipe features ingredients
that best compliment a particular loaf of bread, and
each was tested in our machines. It is extremely
important not to exceed the amounts of flour specified
in each of the recipes or else it could result in
unsatisfactory baking performance. When creating
your own yeast bread recipes or baking an old
favourite, use the recipes in this cookbook as a guide
for converting portions from your recipe to your
breadmaker.

Other tips
• Place all recipe ingredients into the baking pan so
that yeast is not touching any liquid.
• After completing the process of making dough in
your breadmaker, typically when letting dough rise
outside the breadmaker, allow 30 minutes or until
dough doubles in size. Dough should be lightly
greased and covered with waxed paper and a dry
towel. It should be placed in a warm area free from
drafts.
• Humidity makes dough more moist, therefore
humidity and high altitudes require adjustments.
For humidity, add an extra tablespoon of flour if
consistency isn’t right. For high altitudes, decrease
yeast amount approximately 1/4 teaspoon, and
decrease sugar and/or water or milk slightly. (See
Baking tips guide pages 28-29).
• The DOUGH setting is great for mixing, kneading
and proofing (allowing dough to rise) richer dough
like croissant doughs. Use the automatic

•

•
•

breadmaker to prepare this dough so all you need
to do is shape and bake it according to your recipe.
When recipes call for a ‘lightly floured surface,’ use
about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour on the surface.
You may want to lightly flour your fingers or
rolling pin for easy dough manipulation.
When you let dough ‘rest’ and ‘rise’ according to a
recipe, place it in a warm, draft-free area. If the
dough doesn't double in size, it may not produce a
tender product. Dough is ready when an
indentation remains when it is touched.
If the dough you are rolling shrinks back, let it rest
covered for a few minutes before rolling again.
Dough may be wrapped in plastic and stored in a
freezer for later use. Bring the dough to room
temperature before using.

Special glazes for yeast breads
Give your just baked bread a professional finish.
Select one of the following special glazes to enhance
your bread.
Egg Glaze
Beat 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water
together, brush generously (Note: apply only to
doughs before baking).
Melted Butter Crust
Brush melted butter over just baked bread for a
softer, tender crust.
Milk Glaze
For a softer, shiny crust, brush just baked bread
with milk or cream.
Sweet Icing Glaze
Mix 1 cup sifted icing sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons
of milk to make a glaze consistency and drizzle over
raisin bread or sweet breads.
Poppy/Sesame/Caraway Seed/Oatmeal
Sprinkle your choice of these seeds generously over
just glazed bread.

Using cheese with a high fat and moisture content
may result in a slightly collapsed loaf.
To achieve a cheesey top crust once baked, 1/4 cup
cheese can be carefully placed on top of the bread at
the beginning of the second rise. If the cheese is added
at the middle/end of the second rise, the bread will
have risen too much and the cheese will fall off, soiling
the bottom of the breadmaker. (Refer to the bread
cycles at the back of the book).

Jam Making
Jam is made by boiling the fruit, sugar and lemon
juice until it forms a ‘gel’ which sets on cooling. In
order for this ‘gel’ to form, all jam recipes require the
following:
a) Pectin is found in the cell walls of fruit and the
amount present depends on the type of fruit and
the age and quantity of the fruit.
b) Sugar.
c) Lemon Juice (acid).
It is important that these substances are present in
the right proportions.
If you wish to experiment and make your own jam
recipes, use the guidelines for the ingredients to use.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN 3 CUPS OF FRUIT. You may
find that you will have to experiment with different
quantities of lemon juice and use different types of
sugar, when making your own recipes. This is due to
different fruits having different pectin and acid
content. This means they require different
concentrations of lemon juice and sugar in order to
form a ‘gel’. Use good quality fruit which is just ripe
(or slightly under ripe) when it has its highest pectin
content. NEVER USE FRUIT WHICH IS OF POOR
QUALITY OR OVER-RIPE.

Safety notes when making jam
Do not open the lid during the jam cycle.
Once finished leave the jam for about 10 mins
before opening lid. Then open lid very slowly. Carefully
remove the kneading blade using metal tongs, before
pouring the jam into prepared warm jars.
Using oven gloves and slowly pour the jam into
prepared jar(s), (cleaned and warmed). Allow to cool
thoroughly and once cooled store the jam in the fridge.

6 Using oven mitts, remove pan from unit.
NOTE: Plums should be washed, destoned and cut
into pieces. Strawberries should be washed, hulled and
cut into pieces.
NOTE: The fruits in the recipes above were fresh
and ripe. The quantity of jam made is approximately
one medium sized jar. Wide necked jars are easier and
safer to fill.
If the jam is not setting at the end of the jam
programme, cooking can be continued on the
Extrabake programme ’0’, provided the breadmaker
has not been switched off. Try an Extrabake time of 30
minutes. Note Extrabake can only be used once at the
end of the programme.
*You can also try fruit combined with baking
apples, this will achieve a firmer set, combine 21/2 cups
of fruit with 1/2 cup of baking apples, (plus sugar and
lemon juice as in recipe). Alternatively specially
prepared pectin products can be added to achieve the
required set.

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 30-32°C. If cooler liquid is
used a short loaf of bread will be obtained. If
hotter liquid is used, the yeast can be killed.
• 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.

Questions about general
performance and operation
Question 1
How do I make doughnuts with my
Breadmaker?
How does it make the hole?
The Breadmaker only makes the dough for the
doughnuts. You must form and fry the doughnuts in a
conventional deep fryer.
Question 2
What should I do if the kneading blade
comes out with the bread?
Remove it with a pair of plastic tongs before slicing
the bread. Since the blade can be disconnected from the
pan, it is not a malfunction if it comes out in your bread.
Question 3
Why does my bread sometimes have some
flour on the side crust?
In some cases, the flour mix may remain on the
corners of the baking pan. When this happens, it
usually can be eaten or simply trim off that portion of
the outer crust with a sharp knife.
Question 4
Why isn't the dough mixing? I can hear the
motor running.
The Kneading Blade or baking pan may not be
inserted properly. Make sure the pan is facing the right
way and that it has ‘clicked’ and seated into the
bottom of the Breadmaker.
Question 5
How long does it take to make bread?
Timings for each setting are outlined on page 8 and
page 24.
Question 6
Why can't I use the timer when baking
with fresh milk?
The milk will spoil if left sitting in the machine too
long. Fresh ingredients such as eggs and milk should
never be used with the delayed timer feature.
Question 7
If the power goes off in the middle of
processing, will my breadmaker finish baking
bread or making dough?
The control unit will keep the programmed
information, for only 1-2minutes. This is if you
accidently switch off at the mains socket. If the power
is interrupted for longer than this, the display shows
SEL when switched back on, then the unfinished bread
or dough should be discarded and the process started
from the beginning.

Question 8
Why do I have to add the ingredients in a
certain order?
This allows the Breadmaker to mix the ingredients
in the most efficient manner possible. It also serves to
keep the yeast from combining with the liquid before
the dough is mixed.
Question 9
When setting the timer for morning, why
does the machine make sounds late at night?
The machine must start operation several hours
before the bread will be ready. These sounds are made
by the motor when kneading the dough. It is a normal
operation, not a malfunction.
Question 10
What size loaf does the Breadmaker make?
Your Breadmaker makes small 450g (1lb) large 675g
(11/2 lb) loaves of bread.
Question 11
The kneading blade is stuck in the bread
pan. After baking how do I get it out?
The kneading blade may ‘stick’ in place after
baking. Running warm or hot water over the blade
should loosen it enough to be removed. If still stuck,
soak in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes.
Question 12
How many watts is my Breadmaker?
670 watts during the baking cycle. Very little power
is consumed during the kneading and rising cycles.
Question 13
Can I wash the baking pan in the
dishwasher?
No. The baking pan and kneading blade must be
washed by hand.
Question 14
What will happen if I leave the finished
bread in the baking pan?
Whilst still in the breadmaker for the first hour
after baking is complete the bread ’keeps warm’ to
prevent it becoming ‘soggy’.
It may result in a ‘soggy’ loaf of bread as excess
steam (moisture) would not be able to escape. Allow
to cool on a wire rack after baking to prevent this.
Question 15
Why did the dough only partially mix?
Why didn't it mix completely?
The batter may be too heavy or dry. Also, the
kneading blade or baking pan may not be inserted
properly. Ingredients may have been added in the
wrong order. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 28-29).

Question 16
Why didn't the bread rise?
The yeast could be bad, past it’s sell by date or
possibly no yeast was added at all. Also, if the mixing
was not complete, rising problems could develop.
Gluten free flour will also affect the amount of rising.
There are numerous reasons for this problem and are
outlined in the Baking Tips Guide on page 28-29).
Question 17
Why can't the delayed finish be set for
more than 12 hours? What is the minimum
time a cycle may be delayed?
The maximum length of delay is 12 hours plus the
particular cycle time. For example, setting 3 has a cycle
that takes 3:25 hours, so it may be delayed up to 15.25
hours. The minimum length of delay for each setting is
10 minutes, as the delay clock increases in 10 minute
increments.

Questions about ingredients and
recipes
Question 18
How do I know when to add raisins, nuts,
etc. to the bread?
On setting 2, 3 and 8, there is a beeper tone to
signal that you may add raisins, nuts, etc. after the
initial kneading cycle is complete. (NOTE: The beeper
sounds after 32 minutes).
In most cases, ingredients can be broken up during
the initial kneading cycle. However, if it is more
convenient for you to add them at the start, results
will be fine.
Question 19
How come my bread comes out too moist?
What can I do?
Humidity may affect the dough. Add an extra
tablespoon of flour. Also, high altitude may have the
same effect. Decrease the amount of yeast by 1/4
teaspoon and decrease the sugar and/or water/milk
slightly. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 28-29).
Question 20
Why do I get air bubbles at the top of the
bread?
This can be caused by using too much yeast.

Question 21
When using raisins, the Breadmaker
crushes them. How can I avoid this?
Ingredients such as raisins, nuts, etc., should be
added when the signal time comes on approximately
32 minutes into the cycle (after initial kneading) to
prevent this from occurring.
Question 22
Why does my bread rise and then collapse
or crater?
The bread may be rising too much. To reduce the
rate of rising, reduce the amount of water and/or
increase the amount of salt and/or decrease the
amount of yeast. (See Baking Tips Guide on page 2829).
Question 23
Can I use my favourite bread recipes
(traditional yeast bread) in my bread
machine?
Yes, but you will need to experiment to get the
right proportion of ingredients. Become familiar with
the unit and make several loaves of bread before you
begin experimenting. Never exceed a total amount of
42/3 cups dry ingredients (that includes flours, oats,
oatmeal, bran). Use the recipes in this book to help
determine the ratio of dry ingredients to liquid and
amounts of yeast, sugar, salt, and butter/margarine to
use.
Question 24
Is it important for ingredients to be at
room temperature before adding them to the
baking pan?
Yes, unless the delay timer is being used when it is
better if ingredients are cool.
Question 25
Why do the loaves vary in height and
weight? The whole wheat/wholemeal breads
are always shorter. Am I doing something
wrong?
No, it is normal for Whole Wheat and Wholemeal
breads to be shorter and denser than Basic or French
breads. Whole Wheat and Wholemeal flour are heavier
than white bread flour, therefore they don’t rise as
much during the bread making process. They also
typically have added ingredients, such as oats, bran,
nuts and raisins, which contribute to the shorter height
and denser texture.
Question 26
Can I premix the yeast with water?
No, the yeast must be kept dry and put into the
baking pan last, above the flour.

Baking tips for yeast breads
When this instruction book was developed,
hundreds of loaves of bread were baked using popular
brands of flours and yeasts available. Adjustments
were made to the recipes based on ingredients from
popular brands. For example, if you use flour processed
by a local mill it may have different characteristics and

produce different results than some of the more
popular national brands. If you followed the recipe in
the cookbook exactly and feel the results should be
better than what you are currently achieving, use this
guide to help you produce a loaf of bread to suit your
personal tastes. There are usually several possible

Troubleshooting
Cratered bread
If the top caves in, it is probably too much moisture
inside the bread. This could be caused by using canned
fruit or vegetables. You are better to drain well and
dry first or to reduce your water by 1 tablespoon.
Crater Bread also happens with cheese bread because
each cheese has its own moisture content. A mishaped
loaf with soggy sides could result from leaving a loaf in
the machine after baking is completed.

Mushroom bread
There is too much yeast, so that it's risen too much.
Yeast is almost always measured in teaspoons and is
active dry type. Please do not mix your active dry yeast
with fast rise yeast in same bread. There could also be
too much sugar, or ingredients with sugar like dried
fruit. Decrease the sugar or honey accordingly.
Another possibility is too much water used. Try
decreasing it by 1/8 cup at a time. If a recipe still
explodes to the top, try to replace 1/4 of the total flour
with whole wheat flour/wholemeal flour.

Gnarly loaves
Your dough probably needs more moisture. It is
suggested to reduce flour 1 tablespoon at a time or to
increase liquids 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach
the right balance for your machine.
Most recipes contain sugar in some form for
sweetness and to start the yeast and to promote
browning. Salt, on the other hand inhibits the yeast,
but is needed for flavour. Thus you can control the
balance of the chemical reaction between flour, yeast,
water, sugar and salt to make a good loaf of bread
according to your desired texture, weight and
browning.
