Breville Deluxe Baker’s Oven BR7 Instructions Manual page 19

Q: Why did the bread not rise?
a: There may be several reasons. Check the
protein level of the flour and use by date
of the yeast. The yeast may have failed to
activate, the yeast measurements may be
inaccurate or sometimes people just forget
to add the yeast. The yeast may also have
been placed by the salt which kills it.
Q: Why do large holes appear inside the
bread?
a: Occasionally air bubbles will concentrate
at a certain location during the last rising
and will bake in this state. Check the
recipe ingredients and method of weighing/
measuring.
Q: Why does the kneading blade stay inside
the bread when it is removed from the bread
pan?
a: Sometimes this may happen and it is usually
caused by the crispness of the crust. To
locate the blade and avoid damaging the
non-stick coating of the blade use a non-
metallic utensil (a wooden chopstick is
ideal). Use a dry, thick cloth or oven mitts to
remove the blade as it will be hot.
Q: Why does the top of the bread collapse?
a: Usually this is because the ingredients are
not in balance or a low protein flour is used.
Check the method of weighing/measuring
the ingredients. Too much yeast, water or
other liquid ingredients, or not enough flour,
may cause the bread to be pale on top and
collapse with baking.
Q: Why does bread colour differ?
a: This is probably because the ingredients in
each recipe differs. A different crust colour
may also have been selected.
QuEstIons anD ansWErs
Q: are the room and water temperatures
important?
a: Yes - room and water temperature influence
yeast activity and therefore can affect the
quality of your bread. The average room
temperature is approximately 20 - 25ºC.
Room temperature water should also be
used.
notE: Never use hot water, as it will kill the
yeast.
aBout usIng tHE sMart/prEsEt tIMEr
Q: Why can't the smart/preset timer be set
past 15 hours?
a: The ingredients may deteriorate in quality or
ferment if they are left inside the bread pan
for many hours. This is especially the case
during the summer, when the timer should
be set to a shorter period of time.
Q: Why can't some ingredients be used with
the smart/preset timer?
a: Most protein foods, such as milk, cheese,
eggs, bacon, etc., are perishable and will
deteriorate if left unrefrigerated for more
than one hour.
