how to measure ingredients (refer to

illustrations 3 to 7)

It is extremely important to use the exact measure

of ingredients for best results.

●

Always measure liquid ingredients in the see-

through measuring cup with graduated markings

provided. Liquid should just reach marking on cup

at eye level, not above or below (see 3).

●

Always use liquids at room temperature,

20ºC/68ºF, unless making bread using the rapid 1

hour cycle. Follow the instructions given in the

recipe section.

●

Always use the measuring spoon provided to

measure smaller quantities of dry and liquid

ingredients. Use the slider to select between the

following measure -

1

⁄2 tsp, 1 tsp,

program status indicator

The program status indicator is situated in the

display window and the indicator arrow will point to

the stage of the cycle the breadmaker has reached

as follows: -

Pre-heat – The pre-heat feature only operates

at the start of the wholewheat (30 minutes),

wholewheat rapid (5 minutes) and gluten free (8

minutes) settings to warm the ingredients before

the first kneading stage begins. There is no

kneader action during this period.

Knead – The dough is either in the first or 2nd

kneading stage or being knocked back between

the rising cycles. During the last 20 minutes of the

2nd Kneading cycle on setting (1), (2), (3). (4). (5).

(6). (9), (10), (11) and (13) the automatic dispenser

will operate and an alert will sound to tell you to

add any additional ingredients manually.

Rise – the dough is in either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd

rising cycle.

Bake – The loaf is in the final baking cycle.

Keep Warm – The bread maker automatically

goes into the Keep warm mode at the end of the

baking cycle. It will stay on the keep warm mode

for up to 1hour or until the machine is turned off,

which ever is soonest. Please note: the

heating element will switch on and off

and will glow intermittently during the

keep warm cycle.

automatic dispenser

Your BM450 breadmaker is fitted with an

automatic dispenser for releasing additional

ingredients directly into the dough during the

kneading cycle. This ensures that the ingredients

are not overprocessed or crushed and are evenly

distributed.

to the lid using the alignment

arrows .

●

The dispenser will not locate and lock into position

unless fitted the correct way round.

●

The breadmaker can be used without the

dispenser fitted if required but the manual alert will

still sound.

2 Fill the dispenser with the required ingredients.

3 The Automatic dispenser operates after approx.

15-20 minutes of kneading and an audible alert

sounds as well in case you need to add ingredients

manually.

hints & tips

Not all ingredients are suitable for use with the

automatic dispenser and for best results follow the

guidelines below: -

●

Do not overfill the dispenser – follow the

recommended quantities specified in the recipes

supplied.

●

Keep the dispenser clean and dry to prevent

ingredients sticking.

●

Cut ingredients roughly or lightly dust with flour to

ingredients

T

he major ingredient in bread making is flour, so

selecting the right one is the key to a successful loaf.

wheat flours

W

heat flours make the best loaves. Wheat consists of

a

n outer husk, often referred to as bran, and an inner

kernel, which contains the wheat germ and

endosperm. It is the protein within the endosperm

which, when mixed with water, forms gluten. Gluten

stretches like elastic and the gases given off by the

yeast during fermentation are trapped, making the

dough rise.

white flours

These flours have the outer bran and wheat germ

removed, leaving the endosperm which is milled into

a white flour. It is essential to use strong white flour or

white bread flour, because this has a higher protein

level, necessary for gluten development. Do not use

plain white flour or self-raising flour for making yeast

risen breads in your bread maker, as inferior loaves

will be produced. There are several brands of white

bread flour available, use a good quality one,

preferably unbleached, for the best results.

wholemeal flours

Wholemeal flours include the bran and wheat germ,

which gives the flour a nutty flavour and produces a

coarser textured bread. Again strong wholemeal or

wholemeal bread flour must be used. Loaves made

with 100% wholemeal flour will be more dense than

white loaves. The bran present in the flour inhibits the

release of gluten, so wholemeal doughs rise more

slowly. Use the special wholewheat programs to allow

time for the bread to rise. For a lighter loaf, replace

part of the wholemeal flour with white bread flour. You

can make a quick wholemeal loaf using the rapid

whole wheat setting.

strong brown flour

This can be used in combination with white flour, or

on its own. It contains about 80-90% of the wheat

kernel and so it produces a lighter loaf, which is still

full of flavour. Try using this flour on the basic white

cycle, replacing 50% of the strong white flour with

strong brown flour. You may need to add a little extra

liquid.

g

ranary bread flour

A combination of white, wholemeal and rye flours

mixed with malted whole wheat grains, which adds

b

oth texture and flavour. Use on its own or in

combination with strong white flour.

non-wheat flours

Other flours such as rye can be used with white and

w

holemeal bread flours to make traditional breads like

pumpernickel or rye bread. Adding even a small

amount adds a distinctive tang. Do not use on its

own, as it will produce a sticky dough, which will

produce a dense heavy loaf. Other grains such as

millet, barley, buckwheat, cornmeal and oatmeal are

low in protein and therefore do not develop sufficient

gluten to produce a traditional loaf.

These flours can be used successfully in small

quantities. Try replacing 10-20% of white bread flour

with any of these alternatives.

salt

A small quantity of salt is essential in bread making

for dough development and flavour. Use fine table salt

or sea salt, not coarsely ground salt which is best

kept for sprinkling on top of hand-shaped rolls, to

give a crunchy texture. Low-salt substitutes are best

avoided as most do not contain sodium.

●

Salt strengthens the gluten structure and makes

the dough more elastic.

●

Salt inhibits yeast growth to prevent over-rising and

stops the dough collapsing.

●

Too much salt will prevent the dough rising

sufficiently.

sweeteners

Use white or brown sugars, honey, malt extract,

golden syrup, maple syrup, molasses or treacle.

●

Sugar and liquid sweeteners contribute to the

colour of bread, helping to add a golden finish to

the crust.

●

Sugar attracts moisture, so improving the keeping

qualities.

●

Sugar provides food for the yeast, although not

essential, as modern types of dried yeast are able

to feed on the natural sugars and starches found in

the flour, it will make the dough more active.

●

Sweet breads have a moderate level of sugar with

the fruit, glaze or icing adding extra sweetness.

Use the sweet bread cycle for these breads.

●

If substituting a liquid sweetener for sugar then the

total liquid content of the recipe will need to be

reduced slightly.

15

f

ats and oils

A small amount of fat or oil is often added to bread to

give a softer crumb. It also helps to extend the

f

reshness of the loaf. Use butter, margarine or even

lard in small quantities up to 25 g (1 oz) or 22ml (11⁄2

tbsp.) vegetable oil. Where a recipe uses larger

a

mounts so the flavour is more noticeable, butter will

provide the best result.

●

Olive oil or sunflower oil can be used instead of

butter, adjust the liquid content for amounts over

15ml (3 tsp) accordingly. Sunflower oil is a good

alternative if you are concerned about the

cholesterol level.

●

Do not use low fat spreads as they contain up to

40% water so do not have the same properties as

butter.

liquid

Some form of liquid is essential; usually water or milk

is used. Water produces a crisper crust than milk.

Water is often combined with skimmed milk powder.

This is essential if using the time delay as fresh milk

will deteriorate. For most programs water straight

from the tap is fine, however on the rapid one-hour

cycle it needs to be lukewarm.

●

On very cold days measure the water and leave to

stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before

use. If using milk straight from the fridge do

likewise.

●

Buttermilk, yoghurt, soured cream and soft

cheeses such as ricotta, cottage and fromage frais

can all be used as part of the liquid content to

produce a more moist, tender crumb. Buttermilk

adds a pleasant, slightly sour note, not unlike that

found in country style breads and sour doughs.

●

Eggs may be added to enrich the dough, improve

the colour of the bread and help to add structure

and stability to the gluten during rising. If using

eggs reduce the liquid content accordingly. Place

the egg in a measuring cup and top up with liquid

to the correct level for the recipe.

yeast

Yeast is available both fresh and dried. All the recipes

in this book have been tested using easy blend, fast

action dried yeast which does not require dissolving

in water first. It is placed in a well in the flour where it

is kept dry and separate from the liquid until mixing

commences.

●

For best results use dried yeast. The use of fresh

yeast is not recommended as tends to give more

variable results than dried yeast. Do not use fresh

yeast with the delay timer.

I

f you wish to use fresh yeast note the following:

6g fresh yeast = 1tsp dried yeast

Mix the fresh yeast with 1tsp sugar and 2tbsp of

t

he water (warm). Leave for 5 minutes until frothy.

Then add to the rest of the ingredients in the pan.

To get the best results the yeast quantity may need

t

o be adjusted.

●

Use the amounts stated in the recipes; too much

could cause the bread to over-rise and spill over

the top of the bread pan.

●

Once a sachet of yeast is opened, it should be

used within 48 hours, unless stated otherwise by

the manufacturer. Re-seal after use. Resealed

opened sachets can be stored in the freezer until

required.

●

Use dried yeast before its use by date, as the

potency gradually deteriorates with time.

●

You may find dried yeast, which has been

manufactured especially for use in bread machines.

This will also produce good results, though you

may need to adjust the quantities recommended.

adapting your own recipes

A

fter you have baked some of the recipes supplied,

you may wish to adapt a few of your own favourites,

which previously have been mixed and kneaded by

h

and. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this

booklet, which is similar to your recipe, and use it as

a guide.

Read through the following guidelines to help you,

and be prepared to make adjustments as you go

along.

●

Make sure you use the correct quantities for the

bread maker. Do not exceed the recommended

maximum. If necessary, reduce the recipe to match

the flour and liquid quantities in the breadmaker

recipes.

●

Always add the liquid to the bread pan first.

Separate the yeast from the liquid by adding after

the flour.

●

Replace fresh yeast with easy blend dried yeast.

Note: 6g fresh yeast = 1tsp (5ml) dried yeast.

●

Use skimmed milk powder and water instead of

fresh milk, if using the timer delay setting.

●

If your conventional recipe uses egg, add the egg

as part of the total liquid measurement.

●

Keep the yeast separate from the other ingredients

in the pan until mixing commences.

●

Check the consistency of the dough during the first

few minutes of mixing. Bread machines require a

slightly softer dough, so you may need to add

extra liquid. The dough should be wet enough to

gradually relax back.

removing, slicing and storing

bread

●

For best results, once your loaf is baked, remove it

from the machine and turn out of the bread pan

immediately, although your bread maker will keep it

w

arm for up to 1 hour if you are not around.

●

Remove the bread pan from the machine using

oven gloves, even if it is during the keep warm

cycle. Turn the pan upside-down and shake

several times to release the cooked bread. If the

bread is difficult to remove, try gently knocking the

corner of the bread pan on a wooden board, or

rotate the base of the shaft underneath the bread

pan.

●

The kneader should remain inside the bread pan

when the bread is released, however occasionally it

may remain inside the loaf of bread. If so, remove it

before slicing the bread, using a heat resistant

plastic utensil to prise it out. Do not use a metal

implement as this may scratch the non-stick

coating on the kneader.

●

Leave the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes on

a wire rack, to allow the steam to escape. The

bread will be difficult to slice if cut hot.

storing

Home-made bread does not contain any

preservatives so should be eaten within 2-3 days of

baking. If not eating immediately, wrap in foil or place

in a plastic bag and seal.

●

Crispy French-style bread will soften on storage, so

is best left uncovered until sliced.

●

If you wish to keep your bread for a few days,

store in the freezer. Slice the bread before freezing,

for easy removal of the amount required.
