Beginner’s guide to baking your first loaf
The following instructions are to be used when making Bread or Dough recipes from the recipe section
of this book.
For making Gluten Free bread, please see “Gluten Free Bread” on page R21.
All recipes use local ingredients and Australian Standard Metric Measuring tools (cup, spoons and
weighing scales) for accuracy in producing a 750g or 1kg loaf of bread. The actual weight of the baked
loaf will vary depending on the weight of raw ingredients used.
Remove and safely discard any packaging materials and promotional labels before using the Baker’s
Oven for the first time.
Step 1: Open the lid and remove the bread pan
Open the lid and remove the bread pan from the
Baker’s Oven by holding the handle and lifting
straight up.
Always remove the bread pan from the Baker’s
Oven before adding ingredients to ensure
ingredients are not spilt into the baking chamber
and the element.
Before using for the first time, we recommend
that the inside of the bread pan and the kneading
blades are washed with warm soapy water, rinsed
and dried thoroughly. Do not immerse the bread
pan in water.
Step 2: Insert the kneading blade
It is important that the kneading blade is properly
inserted on the shaft in the base of the bread
pan by aligning the flat edge on the inside of the
kneading blade with the flat side of the shaft. If
the blade is not inserted correctly the ingredients
may not be mixed and kneaded properly.
Step 3: Add ingredients into the bread pan
It is IMPORTANT that the ingredients are added in
the correct order listed in the recipe and that the
ingredients are measured and weighed accurately
or the dough may not mix correctly or rise
sufficiently.
All ingredients should be at room temperature
20-25°C. Ingredients should be added in the
following order:
Liquid ingredients
Fat/Oil
Dry ingredients: salt, sugar, flour
Yeast
If using Prepackaged Bread Mixes, refer to
page R30-R32.
Note
Mound the flour into the pan, make a small
hollow in the centre and place the yeast
there. If the yeast contacts the water before
the kneading, the bread may not rise well.
This is important when using the PRESET
TIMER.
Note
Step 4: Return the bread pan to the machine
Insert the bread pan into the machine as follows:
Place the bread pan into the baking chamber
and locate the drive mechanism of the pan
directly onto the drive mechanism in the
baking chamber.
Push the bread pan down firmly until it clicks
in position.
