Introduction
Bread plays an important role in our diet, providing essential vitamins, minerals and
protein. Whole wheat breads made with wholemeal flour and multi-grain loaves are also a
good source of fibre. Your bread maker will help you transform a few ingredients into a
tasty golden loaf of bread, taking away all the hard work of mixing and kneading as well
as lots of washing up.
If like most people you want to get straight into make your first loaf of bread with your
new machine, then try the recipes in the quick start guide at the front of the book.
Get to know your machine, and do not be disappointed if your first attempts look a little
less than perfect, they are still sure to taste wonderful. After you have made a few loaves
following the recipes in this booklet you may wish to experiment for yourself to find out
how to achieve even better results.
Here you will find information on the basic ingredients which will help you understand the
importance of them for successful bread making. There are hints and tips to help ensure
the best results, plus how to adapt your own recipes for use in the bread machine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety and that of those around you, please take special care to
read the Important Safeguards listed here:

Ingredients
The major ingredient in bread making is flour, so selecting the right one is the key to a
successful loaf.
Wheat Flours
Wheat flours make the best loaves. Wheat consists of an outer husk, often referred to as
bran, and an inner kernel, which contains the wheat germ and endosperm. It is the
protein within the endosperm which, when mixed with water, forms gluten. Gluten
stretches like elastic and the gases given off by the yeast during fermentation are
trapped, making the dough rise.
White Flours
These flours have the outer bran and wheat germ removed, leaving the endosperm which
is milled into a white flour. It is essential to use strong white flour or white bread flour,
because this has a higher protein level, necessary for gluten development. Do not use
plain white flour or self-raising flour for making yeast risen breads in your bread maker, as
inferior loaves will be produced. There are several brands of white bread flour available,
use a good quality one, preferably unbleached, for the best results. A small amount of
fine French plain flour is often added to French bread recipes to achieve the texture
associated with this style of bread. See the recipe on page 42.
Wholemeal Flours
Wholemeal flours include the bran and wheat germ, which gives the flour a nutty flavour
and produces a coarser textured bread. Again strong wholemeal or wholemeal bread
flour must be used. Loaves made with 100% wholemeal flour will be more dense than
white loaves. The bran present in the flour inhibits the release of gluten, so wholemeal
doughs rise more slowly. Use the special wholewheat programs to allow time for the
bread to rise. For a lighter loaf, replace part of the wholemeal flour with white bread flour.
You can make a quick wholemeal loaf using the rapid whole wheat setting .
Strong Brown Flour
This can be used in combination with white flour, or on its own. It contains about 80-90%
of the wheat kernel and so it produces a lighter loaf, which is still full of flavour. Try using
this flour on the basic white cycle, replacing 50% of the strong white flour with strong
brown flour. You may need to add a little extra liquid.
14
Ingredients
Granary Bread Flour
A combination of white, wholemeal and rye flours mixed with malted whole wheat grains,
which adds both texture and flavour. Use on its own or in combination with strong white
flour.
Non-wheat Flours
Other flours such as rye can be used with white and wholemeal bread flours to make
traditional breads like pumpernickel or rye bread. Adding even a small amount adds a
distinctive tang. Do not use on its own, as it will produce a sticky dough, which will
produce a dense heavy loaf. Other grains such as millet, barley, buckwheat, cornmeal
and oatmeal are low in protein and therefore do not develop sufficient gluten to produce
a traditional loaf.
These flours can be used successfully in small quantities. Try replacing 10-20% of white
bread flour with any of these alternatives.
Salt
A small quantity of salt is essential in bread making for dough development and flavour.
Use fine table salt or sea salt, not coarsely ground salt which is best kept for sprinkling
on top of hand-shaped rolls, to give a crunchy texture. Low-salt substitutes are best
avoided as most do not contain sodium.
Salt strengthens the gluten structure and makes the dough more elastic.
Salt inhibits yeast growth to prevent over-rising and stops the dough collapsing.
Too much salt will prevent the dough rising sufficiently.
Sweeteners
Use white or brown sugars, honey, malt extract, golden syrup, maple syrup, molasses or
treacle.
Sugar and liquid sweeteners contribute to the colour of bread, helping to add a
yeast are able to feed on the natural sugars and starches found in the flour, it will
make the dough more active.
Sweet breads have a moderate level of sugar with the fruit, glaze or icing adding extra
15
Ingredients
Fats and Oils
A small amount of fat or oil is often added to bread to give a softer crumb. It also helps
to extend the freshness of the loaf. Use butter, margarine or even lard in small quantities
up to 25 g (1 oz) or 22ml (112 tbsp.) vegetable oil. Where a recipe uses larger amounts so
the flavour is more noticeable, butter will provide the best result.
Olive oil or sunflower oil can be used instead of butter, adjust the liquid content for
amounts over 15ml (3 tsp) accordingly. Sunflower oil is a good alternative if you are
concerned about the cholesterol level.
Do not use low fat spreads as they contain up to 40% water so do not have the same
properties as butter.
Liquid
Some form of liquid is essential; usually water or milk is used. Water produces a crisper
crust than milk. Water is often combined with skimmed milk powder. This is essential if
using the time delay as fresh milk will deteriorate. For most programs water straight from
the tap is fine, however on the rapid one-hour cycle it needs to be lukewarm.
On very cold days measure the water and leave to stand at room temperature for 30
minutes before use. If using milk straight from the fridge do likewise.
Buttermilk, yoghurt, soured cream and soft cheeses such as ricotta, cottage and
fromage frais can all be used as part of the liquid content to produce a more moist,
tender crumb. Buttermilk adds a pleasant, slightly sour note, not unlike that found in
country style breads and sour doughs.
Eggs may be added to enrich the dough, improve the colour of the bread and help to
add structure and stability to the gluten during rising. If using eggs reduce the liquid
content accordingly. Place the egg in a measuring cup and top up with liquid to the
correct level for the recipe.
16
Ingredients
Yeast
Yeast is available both fresh and dried. All the recipes in this book have been tested
using easy blend, fast action dried yeast which does not require dissolving in water first.
It is placed in a well in the flour where it is kept dry and separate from the liquid until
mixing commences.
For best results use dried yeast. The use of fresh yeast is not recommended as tends
to give more variable results than dried yeast. Do not use fresh yeast with the delay
timer.
If you wish to use fresh yeast note the following:
6g fresh yeast = 1tsp dried yeast
Mix the fresh yeast with 1tsp sugar and 2tbsp of the water (warm). Leave for 5
minutes until frothy.
Then add to the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
To get the best results the yeast quantity may need to be adjusted.
Use the amounts stated in the recipes; too much could cause the bread to over-rise
otherwise by the manufacturer. Re-seal after use. Resealed opened sachets can be
stored in the freezer until required.
Use dried yeast before its use by date, as the potency gradually deteriorates with
time.
You may find dried yeast, which has been manufactured especially for use in bread
machines. This will also produce good results, though you may need to adjust the
quantities recommended.
17
recommended maximum. If necessary, reduce the recipe to match the flour and liquid
quantities in the breadmaker recipes.
Always add the liquid to the bread pan first. Separate the yeast from the liquid by
dried yeast.
Use skimmed milk powder and water instead of fresh milk, if using the timer delay
setting.
If your conventional recipe uses egg, add the egg as part of the total liquid
measurement.
Keep the yeast separate from the other ingredients in the pan until mixing
commences.
Check the consistency of the dough during the first few minutes of mixing. Bread
machines require a slightly softer dough, so you may need to add extra liquid. The
dough should be wet enough to gradually relax back.
18
the bread pan immediately, although your bread maker will keep it warm for up to 1
hour if you are not around.
Remove the bread pan from the machine using oven gloves, even if it is during the
keep warm cycle. Turn the pan upside-down and shake several times to release the
cooked bread. If the bread is difficult to remove, try gently knocking the corner of the
bread pan on a wooden board, or rotate the base of the shaft underneath the bread
pan.
The kneader should remain inside the bread pan when the bread is released, however
occasionally it may remain inside the loaf of bread. If so, remove it before slicing the
bread, using a heat resistant plastic utensil to prise it out. Do not use a metal
implement as this may scratch the non-stick coating on the kneader.
Leave the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack, to allow the steam to
19
the rapid 1 hour cycle you will need to warm the liquid.
Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order suggested in the recipe. Keep the yeast
dry and separate from any other liquids added to the pan, until mixing commences.
Accurate measuring is probably the most crucial factor for a successful loaf. Most
milk, cheese, vegetables and fresh fruits may deteriorate, especially in warm
conditions. These should only be used in breads, which are made immediately.
Do not add too much fat as it forms a barrier between the yeast and flour, slowing
down the action of the yeast, which could result in a heavy compact loaf.
Cut butter and other fats into small pieces before adding to the bread pan.
Replace part of the water with fruit juices such as orange, apple or pineapple when
potatoes contains starch, which is an additional source of food for the yeast, and
helps to produce a well-risen, softer, longer lasting loaf.
Vegetables such as grated carrot, courgette or cooked mashed potato can be added
for flavour. You will need to reduce the liquid content of the recipe as these foods
contain water. Start with less water and check the dough as it begins to mix and
adjust if it is necessary.

machine.
If the bread does not rise well try replacing the tap water with bottled water or boiled
and cooled water. If your tap water is heavily chlorinated and fluorinated it may affect
the bread rising. Hard water can also have this effect.
It is worth checking the dough after about 5 minutes of continuous kneading. Keep a
flexible rubber spatula next to the machine, so you can scrape down the sides of the
pan if some of the ingredients stick to the corners. Do not place near the kneader, or
impede its movement. Also check the dough to see if it is the correct consistency. If
the dough is crumbly or the machine seems to be labouring, add a little extra water. If
the dough is sticking to the sides of the pan and doesnt form a ball, add a little extra
flour.
Do not open the lid during the proving or baking cycle as this may cause the bread to
collapse.

Packet Mixes
Ready prepared bread mixes can be mixed and baked in the bread maker. Check that
the total weight of the mix does not exceed the maximum amount your machine can
handle.
Setting can be used for most white and wholemeal packet mixes. If your wholemeal
loaf does not rise sufficiently try using the wholewheat rapid cycle next time.
Add the amount of water recommended by the manufacturer to the pan first, then add
the bread mix.
The timer delay is not recommend for these packet mixes as you cannot separate the
yeast from the liquid.

Gluten Free
(Program 5)
The following recipes using gluten free bread mixes and gluten free flours have been tried
and tested in the BM300 Breadmaker. Making gluten-free bread is different from baking
normal bread using wheat flour and the guidelines below should be noted and followed: It is important to avoid cross-contamination with flours that contain gluten especially
if the gluten free bread is needed for health reasons. It may be worth purchasing a
second pan if you are making normal breads in the machine as well. Otherwise take
care that the pan, utensils and any other equipment used are cleaned thoroughly
between uses.
For best results weigh all the ingredients including the water.
The gluten free mixes will form a thick batter/cake mix instead of a ball of dough that
from Chemists and are also stocked by some health food stores.
In most mixes , Xanthan gum or Guar gum are included in the ingredients list. These
are both creamy powders that give strength to the structure and help the bread to rise
and set when baking. Guar gum is high in fibre and may have a laxative effect for
people with a sensitive digestive system.
Remove the bread pan from the machine immediately after the baking cycle is
completed. Do not use the keep warm function. Leave the bread in the pan for
approx. 5 minutes before removing and placing it on a cooling rack.
It is normal for gluten free bread to be heavy and slightly dense in texture and have a
paler crust colour compared to normal bread. The results may vary depending on the
packet mixes or gluten free flours used.
The bread should be stored in a cool dry place and used within 2 days or sliced and

Cakes/Quick Bread
(Program 8)
This setting is unique as it will mix and bake non-yeast type cakes and breads.
This program does not include a rising period, so should not be used for yeast
based sweet breads and cakes. Use the sweet cycle for yeasted sweet breads
and cakes (see pages 39 - 41).
Always use this setting for non-yeast breads and cakes. Other programs will
before adding to the bread machine, to ensure even blending during mixing.
Use plain flour and raising agents such as baking powder, bicarbonate of soda
spatula, to remove any residual flour on the sides of the pan. Do not touch the
kneader or impede its movement. Do not turn the bread maker off or remove
the pan from the machine to scrape down the sides.
Allow the cake or bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out.
Run a smooth edged plastic spatula around the edge of the cake before
removing to help ensure an easy release.
Leave the cake or bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Moist cakes like
gingerbread benefit from being wrapped and stored for 24 hours before eating.
The bread maker will bake the cake or bread for 112 hours on this cycle, to
accommodate all types of quick breads. Some cakes may need less time, so
you can always check it after 114 hours, just as if you were baking it in a
conventional oven. If cooked, switch off the machine and remove the bread
pan. Turn out on to a wire rack to cool.

Press start. Meanwhile shape the softened butter into a 2 cm (34 in) thick block.
5 At the end of the cycle, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knock
back. Roll out into an oblong, twice as long as the butter and slightly wider. Place the butter
on one half, fold over the dough and seal the edges to enclose the butter.
6 Roll into a 2 cm (34 in) thick rectangle, twice as long as it is wide. Fold the bottom third
up and the top third down and seal. Wrap in clear film and chill for 20 minutes.
Repeat the rolling, folding and chilling twice more, turning the dough by 90 each
time.
7 Roll into a rectangle measuring 30 x 52 cm (12 x 21 in). Cut in half lengthways, then
crossways into equal triangles with 15 cm (6 in) bases, discarding the trimmings at
each end.
8 Loosely roll each triangle from the 15 cm (6 in) base towards the point, finishing with
the tip underneath. Curve into a crescent shape. Place on two baking sheets spaced
apart.
9 Cover with lightly oiled clear film and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes,
or until doubled in size. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Express Cycle
(program 12)
Your bread maker has an extra fast bread cycle, which will knead, prove and cook a
delicious loaf of bread in just 1 hour. To help ensure the best possible results follow
the guidelines given below.
Use lukewarm liquid to help speed up the rising process (32-35C/90-95F is
optimum). Cold water will result in a shorter loaf, if hot water is used, it will kill the
yeast. For best results measure the water temperature with either a thermometer or
mix 90ml boiling water with 310ml of cold water.
Bread recipes should contain at least 65% white bread flour on this cycle. 100%
wholemeal or other whole grain breads will produce poor results as there is
insufficient time for the dough to rise.
The salt level is reduced for breads made using this cycle as salt retards yeast
activity. However do not eliminate it completely as it is important for the taste and
texture of the bread. Use 5ml (1tsp) of salt with 600g (1lb 5oz) of flour.
The yeast levels are higher on this cycle to help ensure a rapid rise. Use 15-20ml (3-
open and the machine switched off for 30 minutes between loaves. This will allow the
temperature sensor within the machine to work accurately, which is critical on a short
bread cycle.
Breads made using this cycle will not rise as high as loaves made on other settings,
they will have a softer crust and be a little denser, which is normal.

Make a well in the centre of the flour, but not down as far as the liquid and add the
yeast.
Position the bread pan at an angle towards the back of the machine, then lock the
pan by turning towards the front. Lower the handle.
Press the MENU pad 12 times to select program EXPRESS. Then press start.
At the end of the baking cycle, switch off and unplug the bread machine. Remove the
bread pan by holding the handle and turning the pan towards the back of the
machine. Always use oven gloves. Then turn our onto a wire rack to cool.
