Use of extension cords: A short power supply cord has been provided to reduce the risk of i@ury resul'tingfrom becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from hardware stores and may be used with care. The cord should be arranged so that it wilL not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled by children or tri>ped over accidentally. IS. Elect&a/power: If electric circuit is overdoaded with other appliances, your Bread Maker may not operate properly. The Bread Maker should be operated on a separate electrical circuitfrom other operating appliances. This unit is intended for household use only. Like the instruments in an orchestra, the ingredients in basic bread are very simple: flour, sugar, salt, a Ziquid (such as water or miZk), possibZy a fat (such as butter or oil'), and yeast. And, like each musical instrument, each ingredientperforms a specificjob, and each lends a specialflavor to the final masterpiece. That's why it's important to use the right ingredients in exactly the right proportions to ensure you get the most delici024.3 results! 8 Basic Ingredients Yeast is actually a microscopic plant. Simply stated, without yeast, your bread will not rise. When moistened by a liquid, fed by sugar, and carzjdly warmed, yeast produces gases which power the dough to rise. If tfie temperature is too cold, the yeast will not be activated; ifit? too warn, it will die. The Sunbeam Deluxe Bread and Dough Maker takes care of this worry for you by maintaining just the riiht temperature in the baking chamber at al/ times. You can use either "active dry yeas?, " quick acting", "rapid rise yeast" or one of the neze "Bread machine yeasts" in your Sunbeam Bread Maker. Sugars sweeten the bread, brown the crust, and lend tenderness to the texture. These jobs can be pegormed by white or brown sugar, molasses, maple or corn syrups, honey, faits or other sweeteners. Yeast Sugars use a `bread In orderfor the bread to rise, the flour has to have a high protein content. You shouldalways flour" (for white bread recipes) in your bread maker to get the best results. Do not use all-purpose, cake f/our self--risingflour. Flour or Unlike white breadflour, who/e wheatflour contains bran and wheatgerm which inhibit rising. Wheat breads therefore tend to be heavier in texture andsmaller in sixe. A lighter larger loaf can be achieved by combining wheat bread recipes. whole wheat flour with white breadflourfor When liquids are mixed with the proteins in flour, gluten is formed. Gluten is necessary for rising. Many recipes use dry milk, but other liquids, such as fruit&ice, beer, and water work too. Itic a delicate balance: A recipe with too much liquid may cause the bread to fall during baking while a recipe with too littl'e @id wiL not rise. liquids Salt inhibits rising, so be very careful measuring. Any ordinary table salt will do. Many breads use fats to enhance the flavor and retain moisture. Typically, we use mafgan'ne but butter may also be used. Fats in these recipes, I Important Measuring lips Because each ingredient plays suclz a spec;f;c role, it is especially important to measure the ingredients exqYy to get the best results. For dry ingredients, use liquids, a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup -- not a tableware spoon or coffee cup -- and level ofj Forflozq simply spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level off with a flat kitchen utensd. For fib a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup to the ZmeZ indicated. Check your cup measurement by placing the measuring cup on a flat surface and reading the measurement at eye level. For solid fats, Fill a standard measuring spoon or measuring cup to the level indicated and Zmel off with a kitchen utensil. You'llsee this tip in seueralplaces in this book, but it bears repeating: Always put the liquids in first, the dry ingredients in next, and the yeast last. Before adding the yeast, dig a shallow hok in the dry ingredients and place the yeast in the hole so that there's absolutely no contact betweerz the liquids and the yeast. You don't want the yeast to be activated too soon in the process. This is especially important when you 5-e using the Delay bake option. Last Things Last! Fruits and nuts are added later, after the machine has completed the first knead. The machine will beep three times to let you know it is time to addfruit or nuts. If they are added before the fruit nut beep, the fmcit will be pureed due to excessive kneading. Iffesh fruits or perishabLe ingredients are calledfor in a recipe, (i.e., eggs, cheese, milk) do not use the Delay bake option. Adding Fruits and Nuts 10 Mixing, Kneading, Rising, Baking...the Sunbeam Bread Maker pacts it all together for you with the touch of a button. In fact, science has never been so simpZe. 11 In standard bread baking, the baker mixes the ingredients first by stirring, then by kneading the dough by hand. The Sunbeam Bread Maker mixes and kneads the dough automatical for you. Rising When-making bread by hand, the dough is placed in a warm place to rise after mixing so that the yeast can ferment andproduce gas. After mixing the dough, the Sunbeam Bread Maker maintains the optimum temperature for rising during this part of the process. If you are using the Dough Only cycle, the Sunbeam Bread Maker will stop at the end of the first rising. You will hear a series of 5 beeps to let you know it5 done. The dough can now be removed andshaped for bagels, pixxa or other creations - andplaced in your own oven for baking. Punch Down Once the dough has risen, the baker will typically "punch down " the dough. This process helps to break apart large, unwantedpockets of air andgas that have deveLoped through rising, giving the bread a more even and appetizing texture. This Sunbeam Bread Maker handles this process automatically for you by turning on the kneading blade forjust the r&ht amount of time. After it is punched down, the bread,bounces back - - it rises a second time. Some breads require shorter or longer raiing times. For example, wheat breads require a longer riking time because the flour contains bran and wheat germ which inhibit rising. The Sunbeam Bread Maker regulates the temperature and timing of this second rise automatically for you based on your selection. Second Rise Bake Cool The Sunbeam Bread Maker automatically regulates baking time and temperature for perfect results every time! In standard baking, the baker removes the breadfrom the pan immediately to keep the cmcst from turning soa. We recommend that you do the same with the Sunbeam Bread Make; too. 12 The Science Simplified 1 Mixing, Kneading, Rising, Raking...tlie Sunbeam Bread Maker never been In fact, science has puts it all I together for you with the touch of a button.
