Keep Warm

Removing the Bread

Menu Settings

1. Basic
   Use this setting to make traditional white bread. You have a choice of 3 crust colours - Light, Medium or Dark. The Bakehouse Compact lets you choose your favourite crust colour for most breads.
2. French
   This cycle is for breads with crispier crusts, such as French and Italian breads.
3. Wheat
   Whole wheat breads require more rising time to accommodate the slower rising action with whole wheat flour. Therefore, it is normal for whole wheat breads to be heavy and slightly dense in texture.
4. Sweet
   This cycle is for breads that require additional ingredients such as sugar, dried fruits or chocolate to sweeten the bread. To prevent the crust from becoming too dark, the light crust colour is recommended.
5. Turbo
   Use the turbo setting for ready made bread in approximately 1 hour. This setting lets you save time on the bread recipes by reducing the completion time and is ideal for when you need bread in a hurry. Breads made using this setting may be shorter and more dense due to the reduced rising time. The Turbo setting should only be selected when baking White breads.
   For turbo wheat bread, use the Gluten Free setting.
6. Buttermilk
   This setting is for bread made with buttermilk. Buttermilk bread is a great all purpose bread with a rich texture and a buttery flavour.
7. Gluten Free/ Yeast Free
   The Bakehouse Compact has been designed to meet the needs of people who have intolerances to gluten and yeast. The Gluten Free setting and recipes have been tested and endorsed by The Coeliac Society of Australia.
8. Cake
   Make a variety of sweet and savoury home made cakes on this setting. You can use this setting to mix and bake cakes. We recommend the use of pre-packaged cake mixes. Refer to the Cake instructions in the Recipe section.
9. Dough
   This setting allows you to create a variety of doughs for bread sticks, bread rolls and pizza to bake in a conventional oven. Refer to the Dough instructions in the Recipe section.
10. Pasta Dough
    This setting allows you to make pasta dough for fresh pasta. Feed the pasta through a pasta machine to make fettuccini, ravioli and lasagne. Refer to the Pasta Dough instructions in the Recipe section.
11. Jam
    You can now have fresh jam all year round. Use fresh fruit to make sweet and savoury jams. Refer to the Jam instructions in the Recipe section.
12. Bake
    Set the setting to Bake for an immediate baking process. When you select the Bake setting, the Bakehouse Compact will immediately start baking. This setting will bake for 1 hour and can be controlled manually by pressing the Start/Stop button to stop the function at any time. The baking time can be increased manually to 1½ hours.
    This setting can also be used to complete the bread baking process in case of a power failure. If there has been a power failure, allow the dough to rise in the bread pan without power until it reaches ¾ of the way up the bread pan. Reconnect electricity and select menu setting to (12) Bake, and press Start. Note: You may need to wait 10-15 minutes for the machine to cool down, before you select the Bake setting. If you attempt to use the bake option before the machine has cooled down, an error message will appear on the display - E00 or E01.

Using the Time Delay Function

The Bakehouse Compact allows you to delay the completion of your bread by up to 13 hours, so you can wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread, or go out for the day while your Bakehouse Compact does all the work.

Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as milk, eggs or cheese as these may spoil.

1. Follow steps 1 – 4 from Quick Start Guide section.
2. Press and buttons until you reach the number of hours and minutes you want your bread to be ready. Press to add or minus time in 10 minute intervals.
3. Follow remaining steps 6 - 7 from Quick Start Guide section.

Note: You do not need to take into account the amount of time required to cook the program selected. This is automatically registered in the Bakehouse Compact when it is selected.

Using the Bake Only Menu

The BAKE menu setting is useful if the bread crust is too light or requires more baking time. This setting will bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes and can be controlled by pressing the Start/Stop button at any time.

1. Press the BAKE button.
2. Adjust the amount of time using the and buttons.
3. Press the Start/Stop button.

Power Interruption Program Protection

Your Bakehouse Compact features a 5 minute Power Interruption Protection that protects the Program memory in the advent of power surges, or short term power failure (blackout).

This means that if there is a power interruption during your bread making, the machine will retain its memory for at least 5 minutes and continue cooking when the power supply returns.

If you experience a power failure greater than 5 minutes you may need to discard your ingredients and start again. If the power interruption occurs in the baking cycle, you can use the Bake setting (12) to finish baking.

Handy Hints

Order of ingredients

Always put the liquid in first, the dry ingredients in next and the yeast in last. For Gluten Free recipes place the dry ingredients in first, then the liquid. Fruits and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the first knead.

Freshness

Ensure all ingredients are fresh and used before the specified use-by date.
Avoid using perishable ingredients such as milk, yoghurt, eggs or cheese, with the Time Delay function.

Slicing bread

For best results, wait at least 10 minutes before slicing, as the bread needs time to cool. Place loaf on its side and cut in a sawing motion with a bread knife. For easy and even slicing we recommend the use of the Sunbeam electric knife.

Freezing bread

To freeze fresh bread, let it cool completely and wrap in several layers of plastic. Slice bread before freezing and use at your convenience.
Like a cake, the bread needs to cool slightly before removing from the bread pan. Allow the bread to sit in the pan for approximately 10 minutes before removing.

Toppings

Ingredients such as herbs, sesame seeds and chopped bacon can be added to the top of the bread during the baking stage.
Open lid of Bakehouse Compact, gently brush top of loaf with a little milk or egg yolk and sprinkle with topping. (Do not allow ingredients to fall outside pan). Close lid and allow baking to continue.
Note: This step needs to be done quickly and gently to prevent bread from sinking.

Crust colour

It is normal for the top of the bread to be lighter in colour than the sides.

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning the Bakehouse Compact, unplug it from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.

To clean the exterior

Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. Do not use metal scourers or abrasives as this may scratch the exterior surface.

To clean the non-stick baking pan

Gently wash bread pan in warm soapy water using a soft cloth and dry well before and after each use. Do not use any harsh abrasives or strong household cleaners as these may damage the non-stick surface.

Caring for your non-stick baking pan

Do not use metal utensils to remove ingredients or bread, as they may damage the non-stick coating. Do not be concerned if the non-stick coating wears off or changes colour overtime. This is result of steam, moisture, food acids, mixing of various ingredients and normal wear and tear. This is in no way harmful and does not affect the performance of your Bakehouse Compact.

Do not wash any part of your breadmaker in a dishwasher.
Do not immerse the Bakehouse Compact in water.

Remove and clean lid

To remove lid, simply raise the lid just short of the vertical position (approx. 70°). While holding the base of the unit with one hand, gently lift the lid out of the hinge. Wipe interior and exterior of lid with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before replacing lid.

Storage

Make sure the Bakehouse Compact is completely cool and dry before storing. Store the Bakehouse Compact with the lid closed and do not place heavy objects on top of the lid.
