Place the breadmaker on a
counter where the plug
shown later when to do this.
Make sure you
can open the breadmaker top with-
out hitting the top of kitchen cabinets.
Open the lid and remove the bak-
ing pan. To do this, simply grasp
the handle of the pan, twist pan
it
counterclockwise and pull
straight up. Use a gentle,
non-abrasive soap and wash,
rinse and dry the pan thoroughly.
To reinsert bread pan, simply
repeat the above instructions
in reverse order.

Attach the kneading blade
to the baking pan, as shown.
You will find the kneading
blade in a small plastic wrap
attached to the power cord.
Set the pan aside.
Do not yet place the pan
into the breadmaker.
YOU’RE READY TO START!

The simplest way to learn how to bake bread is to follow a basic
4
recipe. The following recipe is easy and the bread is delicious. 0

BEFORE YouB EGIN
1
l Make sure you have the follo
measuring equipment:
- Liquid measuring cup
- Dry measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
l You will need the following
ingredients:
- Water
- Butter/Margarine
- Salt
wing
- Bread flour
(be sure to buy bread
flour,
preferably for breadmakers)
- Dry milk
- Sugar
- Active, fast rising yeast

MEASURING
THE most important secret of making bread. Exact measurements.
That’s the key to successfully baking bread. Exact measurements.
With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the
cups/ounces marked clearly on the
side. After filling the measuring cup,
place it on a flat surface and view it at
eye level to make sure the amount of
liquid is exact. Then, double check.
With dry ingredients, always “level off”
the measurement with the back of a knife
or a spatula to make sure the measure-
ment is exact. Another helpful tip is to
never use the cup to scoop the ingredi-
ents (for example, f/our). By scooping,
you could add up to one tablespoon of
extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup
with a spoon before leveling off.
The SECOND most important secret of making bread.
Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order
given in the recipe. This means:
- FIRST, liquid ingredients
-SECOND, dry ingredients
- LAST, yeast
Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, unless
otherwise noted (that is, between
77-85°F or 25°C -30°C).
Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread
rises and bakes.
Last, its a good idea to start with fresh ingredients
(especially fresh flour and yeast).
Now, lets try a simple (but really good) recipe.

2 Le. LOAF
1-3/8 cups
2Tbsp.
2tsp.
4cups
2 Tbsp.
2 tsp.
2 tsp.
Carefully
measure 1-3/8 cups water. Remember, use water that
s room temperature. DO NOT use very hot or very cold water.
chine flour
It'sa good idea to view the measuring cup
at
~eye level to make sure you
have measured exactly I-318 cups.
2 Pour the water into the bread pan.
3 Carefully measure 2 Tbsp. of butter or margarine that
is at room temperature. Add this to the bread pan.
This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe.
Next come the dry ingredients.
4 Measure 4 cups of bread flour. Make sure not
to “overpack” the flour into the cup. To avoid
2~
over packing, a good trick is to fill the
G?--
c?
measuring cup to overflowing, then
tap the side of the cup with a knife or W
spatula to remove air pockets. .
b:~,~~:
Level off the measuring cup
with the knife
or spatula. Pour the flour into the bread pan,

Measure 2 teaspoons of sugar. Again, make sure to level off
the tablespoons for an exact measurement. Add the sugar
into the bread pan.

Measure 2 tablespoons of dry milk. Level off the table-
spoons of dry milk like all of the rest of the dry ingredients.
Add the dry milk to the bread pan.

Measure 2 teaspoons of salt. It is especially important
to measure the salt precisely because too much salt,
even a little, can affect the rising of the dough.
Add the salt to the bread pan.
Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well
(ho/e) in the flour where you will pour the yeast.
Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid
when you are adding ingredients.
Measure (again, leveling off) 2 teaspoons of yeast and care-
fully pour it into the well you made in the flour.
Carefully snap the baking pan
into the breadmaker.
Close the lid of the bread
machine and plug the power
cord into the wall outlet.
The following things will happen. The machine will “beep:
and the red lights of the display will turn on. The time set-
ting will read
“3:OO” hours and the red light will be lit next
to the “basic” setting.

Repeatedly press the “Crust Color” button to select the kind
of crust you want. For this recipe we recommend
“Medium.”
Depending on the crust color you select, the display
will read as follows:
Light:
1L
Medium: 1P
Dark: 1H
Press the “Crust Color” button until “IP” (medium)
appears in the display window.
Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start
making bread. You will hear the breadmaker begin to mix
the ingredients.
J- IMPORTANT: Do NOT press the “Start/Stop” button while.

the breadmaker is making bread. If you do, the machine will
turn off and you will need to start over again, from scratch.
3z IMPORTANT: You should not raise the lid for this recipe.
(For other recipes you try
later, you will need to raise
the lid to add nuts, fruits, or other ingredients.)
A
I CAUTION:The breadmaker is very hot. Do not handle
the machine while it is operating. Do NOT lift the lid
while the breadmaker is baking bread.

BREAD MACHINE STAGES
It’s fun to watch your bread being made through the viewing win-
dow. For the basic cycle, you can expect the following things to
happen as the timer counts down to zero.
At
3:OO The dough is kneaded for the first time. (10 minutes)
At
2:50
The dough begins to rise. (20 minutes)
At 2:30
The dough is kneaded for the second time. (15 minutes)
At
2:15 The dough continues to rise. (20 minutes)
At
1:55 The dough is “punched down.” (30 seconds)
At 1:55 The dough rises for the final time. (55 minutes)
At
I:00
The bread begins to bake. (60 minutes)
At 0:00
0:OO The bread is finished.

lr
by its handle from the breadmaker.
%
Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently
m
shake it until the bread comes out. If it sticks, take a rubber
1
spatula (metal can damage the pan’s surface) and carefully
go around the sides of the loaf until the bread comes out.
e
L
If the kneading blade comes out with the bread, use a plas-
tic utensil to remove it from the loaf. Remember, it will be
m
hot!
P
Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before slicing
m
and enjoying it.
m
IMPORTANT: If you wish to make another loaf of bread

BASIC
This setting is probably used more than any other because
it gives you the best results with just about any recipe.
FRENCH
Use this setting for making French breads. French bread takes
longer to knead, rise, and bake, providing aheartier Crust.
S WEET
The sweet setting is for baking breads with high amounts of
sugar, fats, and proteins, all of which tend to increase browning.
EXPRESSBAKE (58 minutes)
Use this setting for baking bread in under 1 hour.
(Please see Page 15)
EXPRESSBAKE (80 minutes)
Use this setting to quickly bake larger loaves of bread.
(Please see Page 15)
WHOLE WHEAT
The whole wheat setting offers a longer rise time for breads
that contain more than 50% whole wheat flour.
DOUGH/PASTA
This setting lets you prepare dough for rolls, specialty breads,
pizza, etc. which you shape by hand, allow to rise, then bake
in a conventional oven.
B AKE
This setting is for making dough or jams.

EXPRESSBAKE SETTING:
MAKING BREAD IN UNDER 1 HOUR
Your SUNBEAM breadmaker can bake great bread in under 1 hour.
This is called the “EXPRESSBAKE" setting. EXPRESSBAKE set-
ting loaves are a little different from loaves baked on non-EXPRESS-
BAKE settings. Try all the different settings to see which of them
you prefer.
There are two EXPRESSBAKE settings:
One setting can bake
bread in 58 minutes.
The bread is a little
more dense in texture
with this setting.
The other setting is for bak-
ing loaves in 1 hour and 20
minutes. The loaves baked
with this setting are a little
taller and more airy than
the 58-minute breads.

There are a few things you should know about the EXPRESS-
BAKE
settings that are different than
the other settings.
- Loaves baked on EXPRESSBAKE settings tend to have
a darker, thicker crust than other kinds of bread.
Sometimes there will be a crack in the top of the crust.
This is because baking is
done at higher temperatures.
They also tend to be shorter, denser loaves.
- You CANNOT use the Delay Timer for the EXPRESSBAKE
settings. This would cool the liquid ingredients and affect
the way that the bread rises.
- You CANNOT use the “Crust Color” buttons when baking
breads on the
EXPRESSBAKE settings.
- DO NOT open the cover while making breads on the
EXPRESSBAKE” settings.
- If the loaf is hard to remove from the pan, let it sit for about
5 minutes to cool. Shake the bread out of the pan and wait
for 15 minutes before slicing.
- If you wish to bake another loaf of bread, you must let the
breadmaker cool for 20 minutes with the cover open.
- YOU CAN use standard bread mixes for EXPRESSBAKE set-
ting breads, but the results may not be as good as the results
when using the recipes within this booklet.

EXPRESSBAKE S ETTING T IPS AND HINTS
YEAST
Always use a fast-rising yeast like Bread Machine Yeast.
DO NOT use active dry yeast for
EXPRESSBAKE settings
because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.
L IQUIDS
Always use hot water in the range of 115-125°F or
46°C and 52°C. You must use a cooking thermometer
to gauge the temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast
while cooler water may not activate it.
SALT
As a rule, you should use LESS salt for EXPRESSBAKE setting
breads. Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure
to follow the recipe suggestions in this booklet for best results.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk,
butter, etc.) are at room temperature.
Always use bread flour for the
EXPRESSBAKE settings.
THINGS You M AY N EED TO B UY
- You should only use “Bread Machine” flour for the EXPRESS-
BAKE
setting recipes.
17

- You may need a cooking thermometer I
to measure the temperature of the
water you use in these recipes.
You should only use hot water
:;;I ;y:
0
(between 115°F and 1254 or
46°C and 52°C) for EXPRESSBAKE
setting recipes.
Although baking
EXPRESSBAKE setting bread is a little different,
the results and convenience are well worth it.
The following recipe is a great one to try for your first EXPRESS-
BAKE setting loaf.
