    Important safeguards
    Before using the Bread Master Big Loaf, we
    ask that like any electrical appliance you
    exercise a degree of care and adhere to the
    following precautions.
    READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
    OPERATING THE BREAD MAKER. SAVE
    THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
    REFERENCE.
    Important safeguards for your Breville
    Breadmaker
    ● Do not place machine near the edge of bench
    top or table during operation. Vibration during
    the kneading cycles may cause the machine to
    move slightly.
    ● Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas
    or electric burner, or where it could touch a
    heated oven. Position the unit a minimum
    distance of 10cm away from walls. This will help
    prevent the possibility of wall discolouration due
    to radiated heat.
    ● Always operate your bread maker on a stable
    and heat-resistant surface. Do not use on a
    cloth covered surface or near other flammable
    materials.
    ● Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow the bread
    maker to cool down before cleaning any parts.
    ● Use oven mitts when removing the hot bread
    pan and the bread from the pan.
    ● Do not pour any ingredients directly into the
    baking chamber. Place ingredients into the
    bread pan only.
    ● Do not place anything on top of the lid. Do not
    cover the air vents on the lid whilst the bread
    machine is in use.
    ● Do not place hands inside the bread maker
    while in operation. Avoid contact with moving
    parts.
    ● Do not leave the lid standing open for extended
    periods of time.
    ● Always make sure the kneading blades are
    removed from the base of the baked bread loaf
    prior to slicing.
    ● Keep the inside and outside of the bread
    machine clean. Follow the cleaning instructions
    provided in this booklet.
    ● Do not immerse the bread pan in water. This
    may interfere with the free movement of the
    drive shaft. Wash only the interior of the bread
    pan.
    Important safeguards for all electrical
    appliances
    ● To protect against electric shock, do not
    immerse cord, plug or appliance in water.
    ● Do not let the cord hand over the edge of a
    table or counter, touch hot surfaces or become
    knotted.
    ● Close supervision is necessary when this
    appliance is being used by or near children. The
    appliance is not intended for use by young
    children or infirm persons without supervision.
    ● Unplug the appliance from the power outlet
    when not in use and before cleaning
    ● If the supply cord, plug or actual appliance
    becomes damaged in any way return the entire
    appliance to the nearest authorised Breville
    Service Centre for examination and/or repair.
    ● This appliance is for household use only. Do not
    use outdoors, for commercial use or for any
    purpose other than its intended use.

    conventional oven.
    9 Beginner's Guide
    The following instructions are to be used when
    making Bread or Dough recipes from the recipe
    section of this book.
    All recipes use local ingredients and Australian
    Standard Metric Measuring tools (cup, spoons
    and weighing scales.
    Before making your first loaf, remove any
    promotional stickers from the Bread Master
    Big Loaf. Do not remove the Bread Master Big
    Loaf logo label located on the front panel of your
    machine.
    1. Open the lid and remove the bread
    pan.
    Grasp the extended sides of bread pan and pull
    towards the front of the oven to unlock the pan,
    then lift upwards to remove .
    It is recommended to
    use a pair of oven mitts
    when removing the
    bread pan from the
    machine when the unit
    is hot.
    Always remove bread
    pan from the Bread
    Master Big Loaf before
    adding ingredients to
    ensure ingredients are
    not spilt into the baking
    chamber or onto the
    element.
    Before using for the first time, we recommend
    that the inside of the bread pan and the kneading
    blades be washed with warm soapy water, rinsed
    and dried thoroughly. Do not immerse the bread
    pan in water.
    2. Attach the twin kneading blades to
    each drive shaft in the bread pan.
    It is important that the kneading blades are
    properly mounted on each shaft in the base of
    the bread pan by aligning the flat edge on the
    inside of the kneading blade with the flat side of
    the shaft.
    If the blade is not
    seated correctly,
    ingredients may not be
    mixed and kneaded
    properly. (Before
    inserting the kneading
    blades ensure that
    there are no crumbs
    attached to either shaft
    inside the bread pan or
    inside the hole of each
    kneading blade.)
    3. Put the ingredients into the bread
    pan in the following order.
    Ensure the bread pan is removed from the machine
    before adding ingredients.
    1st. Liquid ingredients i.e. water
    2nd. Fat i.e. oil
    3rd. Dry ingredients i.e. salt, sugar, flour
    4th. Yeast
    It is most important that the ingredients are added
    in the correct order listed in the recipe and that
    the ingredients are measured and weighed
    accurately or the dough may not mix correctly or
    rise sufficiently.
    Beginner’s Guide to Baking
    Your First Loaf
    If using a pre-packaged bread mix, refer
    to recipes in the prepackaged bread mix
    sections of this booklet.

    NOTE!
    All ingredients should be room temperature
    (20-25°C)
    Mound the flour and make a small hollow in the
    centre of the flour and place the yeast there. If the
    yeast contacts the water before kneading, the
    bread may not rise well. This is very important
    when using the Preset Timer.
    4. Return the bread pan to the machine.
    Wipe down the outside of the bread pan to
    remove any spillage.
    Ensure bread pan is inserted completely as
    follows:
    Lower the bread pan into the machine.
    Push down on the bread pan firmly until it clicks
    firmly into position on both sides.
    5. Close the lid.
    Do not open the lid during operation except to
    check the consistency of the dough during the
    kneading cycle or to glaze and add seeds to the
    top of the loaf at 5 minutes before the end of the
    baking cycle.
    6. Plug in the bread maker.
    Insert plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet.
    Switch on at the power outlet. The display should
    blink as ‘000‘ when the power is on.
    7. Select the bread type, loaf size and
    crust colour mode.
    Press the ‘SELECT’ button until the display
    indicates the appropriate bread setting. For basic
    white bread press the SELECT button once and
    ‘1‘ will appear in the Display Window. The LOAF
    size is automatically set at 1.25kg and CRUST
    colour set at Medium.
    For another loaf size and crust colour, press the
    LOAF and CRUST buttons until the red light
    aligns with the desired setting.
    8. Start the bread maker.
    Press the ‘START/stop’ button once. The
    machine will begin kneading the dough and the
    total time remaining until the bread is completed
    will appear in the display window. The remaining
    time will ‘count down‘ in one-minute increments.
    • When the kneading cycle ends the bread will
    start to rise.
    • During the baking cycle of a program, steam
    may sometimes come out of the vents on the
    lid. The window may steam up. This is a normal
    part of the bread making process.
    • When the bread is finished baking, the machine
    will sound 3 double ‘beeps’ and the display
    window will read ‘000‘. The bread is now ready
    to remove.
    9. Remove the bread pan.
    After the machine ‘beeps’, press the ‘start/STOP’
    button. Remove the bread pan with oven mitts
    as it is very hot! Pull the pan forward to unlock
    and lift pan upwards.
    Never set the hot bread pan directly on the body
    of the unit, tablecloth, plastic surfaces or other
    surfaces affected by heat
    If you do not wish to remove the bread
    immediately, the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    automatically go into a ‘Keep Warm‘ setting,
    holding the temperature of the bread for up to 60
    minutes (There is no ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for
    Dough and Bake settings).
    The ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for the Yeast Free
    setting is 22 minutes and the Jam setting 14
    minutes.
    10. Take the bread out of the bread pan.
    Using oven mitts, gently shake the bread out of
    the pan on to a wire rack to cool. We
    recommend allowing the bread sufficient cooling
    time before slicing. This should ensure straight,
    even slices.
    It is normal for the kneading blades to sometimes
    remain in the bread, due to the crispness of the
    crust. If this occurs, remove each blade with a
    plastic or wooden utensil (a wooden chopstick is
    ideal).
    Handle with care as the kneading blades could
    still be very hot.
    Do not use metal utensils such as a knife to
    remove blades, as they will scratch the non-stick
    coated surface.
    11. Unplug the power supply cord after
    Beginner's Guide 10
    If you accidentally press the wrong
    setting, crust colour or loaf size, press
    and hold the ‘start/STOP‘ button to reset
    the program.

    NOTE!
    Certain settings such as Wholewheat,
    Wholewheat Rapid and Jam have a prewarming
    cycle before the kneading cycle
    commences. During this time the
    machine will be warming the ingredients
    but the kneading blades will not operate.

    NOTE!
    Remove the bread from the bread pan
    as soon as possible. The crust can
    become moist and sticky if left in the
    bread pan too long.

    NOTE!
    use.
    Switch the Bread Master Big Loaf off at the
    power outlet. Hold the plug when pulling the
    power supply cord out of the wall socket. Never
    pull on the power supply cord.
    Allow at least 1 hour for the Bread Master Big
    Loaf to cool down before using again. Leave the
    lid up to help the machine cool down quicker.
    If the Bread Master Big Loaf is too hot it will
    display an error code and will not operate until it
    cools down to the correct operating temperature
    for kneading.
    When not in use store the bread machine in a
    cool, dry place.
    12. Cut the bread.
    Always make sure the kneading blades are
    removed from the bottom of the baked bread loaf
    prior to slicing.
    After the bread has cooled, cut the bread using a
    bread knife or electric knife or other serrated knife
    on a breadboard. A standard knife is likely to tear
    the bread.
    Breville recommend
    using the Breville Bread
    Slicing Guide – Model
    BS1. This foldable
    lightweight cutting
    guide is the ideal
    accessory for any
    breadmaker. The guide
    slots ensure straight,
    even slices every time
    when using a bread
    knife or electric knife.
    13. Store the
    bread.
    Store the bread in freezer bags or a sealable
    bread box.
    To store for more than a few days put the bread
    in the freezer.
    Bread may be frozen for up to 1 month. Place
    into freezer bags, remove any air, secure with ties
    and label.
    Add-In Ingredient Beeper
    The Bread Master Big Loaf features an ‘Add
    Ingredient Beeper’ which operates in the Basic
    and Sweet settings.
    The machine will ‘BEEP‘ 8 times, approx. 5
    minutes before the end of the second knead,
    indicating the time to add any additional fruit,
    nuts, herbs, chocolate, etc. required or as
    specified in the recipes.
    The addition of ingredients at this time assists
    with keeping whole shapes, rather than mashed
    through the bread dough.
    While the machine is still kneading add the
    ingredients gradually in batches, allowing the
    ingredients to slowly combine with the dough.
    Take care not to drop ingredients over the side of
    the bread pan into the baking chamber, as these
    may burn and smoke during the baking cycle.
    DO NOT PRESS THE ‘START/STOP’ BUTTON
    TO ADD INGREDIENTS AS THIS WILL
    CANCEL THE SETTING AND RESET THE
    MACHINE.
    11 Beginner's Guide
    The Bread Master Big Loaf Preset Timer allows
    you to wake up to the aroma of fresh baked
    bread in the morning. The Preset Timer allows
    you to set the timer up to 15 hours in advance
    before you require your baked loaf.
    Recipes using perishable ingredients should
    not be made using the Preset Timer.
    To use the Preset Timer:
    1. Add ingredients to bread pan, place and lock
    the bread pan into the machine.
    2. Select the appropriate bread cycle program,
    loaf size and crust colour.
    3. Before pressing the ‘START/STOP’ button,
    press the TIMER button ‘3:20‘ will be
    displayed, when the Basic White, 1.25kg
    setting is selected. (If other settings are
    selected, the time to be displayed will be
    different.) This means the bread will be ready in
    3 hours and 20 minutes. Continue to press the
    TIMER button to increase the amount of time
    between now and when you want the bread to
    be ready.
    Each time you press the TIMER button the
    time displayed advances 10 minutes. Hold
    down the TIMER button for a speedier
    adjustment. Should you skip past the required
    time, press the TIMER button until the time
    required comes around again.
    If you wish to re-program for another time, press
    the Start/STOP button and repeat the above
    steps.
    Press the START/Stop button and the timer will
    begin to count down. It will start to knead the
    dough 3 hours and 20 minutes before the desired
    completion time.
    The timer can be set to bake bread up to 15
    hours in advance.
    How to use the
    preset timer
    Example
    The present time is 9:00pm and you want to wake
    up to the aroma of fresh homemade bread at
    6:30am tomorrow morning. It is 9 hours and 30
    minutes from now until 6:30a.m. You should set the
    timer to 9 hours and 30 minutes -‘9:30‘.
    The Preset Timer can not be used for all
    recipes. Individual recipes will specify if
    not suitable.

    NOTE!
    It is advisable before using the Preset
    Timer for the first time to test the recipe
    to ensure the correct ratio of flour/water
    and other indgredients. It is advisable to
    weigh and measure ingredients
    accurately.

    NOTE!
    Preset Timer 12
    Using the Bake Only setting.
    The BAKE ONLY setting of the Bread Master Big
    Loaf gives more versatility to your bread making.
    The BAKE ONLY setting is useful when wishing
    to:
    ● Crispen loaves already baked and cooled
    ● Re-warm loaves already baked and cooled
    ● Delay-bake a finished dough
    ● Melt or brown toppings on bread
    To use the Bake Only Setting:
    1. Press the ‘SELECT’ button nine times and the
    display window will show ‘9‘ (BAKE).
    2. Press the START/Stop button, ‘1.00’ will
    appear in the Display Window (the time is
    automatically set at 1.00 hour).
    3. Should your bread require less baking time,
    press the Start/STOP button at the appropriate
    time and remove the bread from the bread
    machine and bread pan.
    How to Increase the
    Baking Time
    Bake Only
    How to Increase the
    Final Rising Time
    The Bread Master Big Loaf allows you to increase
    the baking time twice before the end of the
    baking cycle. When using one of the bread
    settings or Bake Only setting, the Bread Master
    Big Loaf will beep at 4 second intervals, for 1
    minute, at 5 minutes prior to the completion of
    the baking cycle.
    To increase the bake time by 10 minutes:
    Press the CRUST button once and the Display
    Window will show the adjusted time (‘15.00‘).
    At 5 minutes before the completion of the
    adjusted time the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    repeat the process, allowing a further 10 minutes
    adjustment to the baking time (20 minutes in total
    to the baking cycle).
    Should you choose not to increase the baking
    time, the Bread Master Big Loaf will continue with
    the time remaining in the selected setting.
    The flavours and textures available in bread today
    are many and varied. With this in mind, the Bread
    Master Big Loaf provides the facility for those
    who enjoy their bread lighter in texture and higher
    in volume.
    When using one of the bread settings the Bread
    Master Big Loaf will beep at 4 second intervals
    for 1 minute, at 5 minutes proir to the completion
    of the final rising cycle.
    To increase the rising time by 10 minutes;
    Press the LOAF button once and the Display
    Window will show an increase of 10 minutes in
    the remaining time. The Bread Master Big Loaf
    will repeat the process when the extra 10
    minutes has elapsed, allowing a further 10
    minutes to the rising cycle (20 minutes in total to
    the final rising
    time).
    Should you choose not to increase the time in
    the final rise, the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    continue with the time remaining in the selected
    program.
    13 Increasing baking/rising times
    Baking bread is in part a science and each
    ingredient plays an integral role. Therefore care
    should be taken when weighing and
    measuring ingredients to obtain accuracy.
    Recipes in this instruction booklet have been
    developed using Australian Metric Weights and
    Measurements.
    Australian Metric Measurements
    1 teaspoon 5ml
    1 tablespoon 20ml
    1 cup 250ml
    METRIC WEIGHING SCALES
    For greater accuracy and consistant results it is
    recommend that a set of metric weighing scales
    should be used as they provide greater accuracy
    than measuring cups.
    Tare (zero) the scales with the container in
    position then spoon or pour ingredients in until
    desired weight is achieved.
    METRIC MEASURING CUPS AND SPOONS
    If using the graduated METRIC measuring cups,
    it is important to spoon or scoop the dry
    ingredients loosely into the required cup. Do not
    tap the cup on the bench, or pack the
    ingredients into the cup UNLESS otherwise
    directed. Level the top of cup with a knife. When
    using graduated metric measuring spoons, level
    top of spoon with a straight edged knife or
    spatula.
    DO NOT USE TABLEWARE SPOONS OR
    CUPS.
    METRIC LIQUID MEASURING JUGS
    When measuring liquids use a graduated,
    METRIC measuring jug. Place jug on a flat
    surface, check for accuracy at eye level.
    DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR
    MEASURING CUPS.

    NOTE!
    For New Zealand Customers
    New Zealand Metric Measurements
    1 Metric Cup 250ml
    1 tablespoon 15ml
    1 teaspoon 5ml
    The New Zealand tablespoon is 5ml less than
    that of the Australian tablespoon, so care
    should be taken when measuring ingredients
    to compensate for this variance.
    i.e. 1 Australian tablespoon = 1 New Zealand
    tablespoon + 1 New Zealand teaspoon.
    It is important to note that New Zealand
    ingredients, especially flour and yeast, differ
    from the Australian equivalents. In the Vital
    Ingredients section (pages 15 and 16) suitable
    New Zealand products have been listed.
    We suggest these New Zealand products be
    substituted for the Australian products in the
    Easy Bake Recipe Section.

    FLOUR
    Flour is the most important ingredient used for
    bread making. It provides food for the yeast and
    structures the loaf. When mixed with liquid, the
    protein in the flour starts to form gluten. Gluten is
    a network of elastic strands, which interlock to
    trap the gases produced by yeast. This process
    increases as the dough undergoes kneading and
    this provides the dough with the structure
    required to produce the weight and shape of the
    bread.
    White Wheat Flour
    The flour used in the Bread Master Big Loaf
    should be bread flour. Baker’s flour or plain flour
    may be used. There is no need to sift the flour.
    Plain flour is most readily available, however best
    results are obtained with flour with at least 11%-
    12% protein content. For this reason, the recipes
    in this book requiring Bread Flour, have been
    made with flours with a 12% protein content. This
    is normally indicated on the packaging. Do not
    use self-raising flour unless indicated in the
    recipe.
    ‘Kitchen Collection’ Brand Bread Flour
    This brand of bread flour is available nationally at
    larger supermarkets and was used for the
    development of most of the recipes contained in
    this guide. It is a high protein, white bread flour,
    with 12% protein content ensuring a higher
    quality and consistency to the baked bread.
    ‘Defiance’ Brand High Grade Plain Flour
    Also known as bread or baker’s flour, it is
    produced from hard wheats to give a protein level
    of at least 11.5%. This product is available
    nationally at larger supermarkets.
    Wholemeal Flour
    Contains all the bran, germ and flour of the
    wholewheat grain. Although breads baked with
    this type of flour will be higher in fibre, the loaf will
    be lower in height and heavier in texture. A lighter
    textured bread can be achieved by replacing 1
    cup of wholemeal flour with white bread flour.
    Rye flour
    A popular flour used for bread making, rye flour is
    low in protein so it is essential to combine rye
    flour with bread flour to make bread successfully
    in the Bread Master Big Loaf. Rye flour is
    traditionally used to make Pumpernickel and
    Black Breads.
    Gluten Flour
    Gluten flour is a concentrated mixture of glutenforming
    protein and wheat flour. Adding gluten
    flour can improve the structure and volume of
    bread when using low protein, stoneground,
    wholemeal or plain flour.
    BREAD MIXES
    These convenient mixes contain flour, sugar, milk,
    salt, oil and other ingredients such as bread
    improvers. Usually only the addition of water and
    yeast is required. Bread mix brands such as
    ‘Kitchen Collection’, ‘Defiance’ and ‘Lowan’ are
    available from major supermarkets in Australia.
    Recipes for these bread mix brands are listed in
    the Easy Bake recipe section of this book.
    For information on other brands of bread mix
    contact the manufacturer listed on the
    package.
    BREAD IMPROVER
    Several brands of bread improvers are available
    nationally in supermarkets and health food stores.
    The ingredients in a bread improver are usually a
    food acid such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) plus
    other enzymes (amylases) extracted from wheat
    flours.
    15 Measuring Up
    Vital
    Ingredients
    When using a low protein, stone ground,
    wholemeal or plain flour the quality of the
    bread can be improved by adding 11/2 –
    2 tablespoons of gluten flour.
    NEW ZEALAND ONLY

    Bread mix brands such as Elfin are
    available
    The Vital Ingredients 16
    Bread Improver has been used in some of the
    bread recipes listed in the Easy Bake recipe
    section of this book. A simple bread improver is a
    crushed unflavoured 250mg Vitamin C tablet
    added to the dry ingredients.
    Sugar
    Sugar provides sweetness and flavour, browns
    the crust and produces food for the yeast. White
    sugar, brown sugar, honey and golden syrup are
    all suitable to use. When using honey or golden
    syrup it must be counted as additional liquid. We
    have successfully tested SPLENDA as a sugar
    substitute.
    Powdered milk
    Milk and milk products enhance the flavour and
    increase the nutritional value. Powdered milk is
    convenient and easy to use (store in an airtight
    container in the refrigerator). Fresh milk should
    not be substituted for powdered milk unless
    stated in the recipe. Low fat or skim milk powder
    can be used with good results. Soy milk powder
    can also be used but produces a denser loaf.
    Salt
    Salt is an important ingredient in bread making.
    However, salt inhibits the rising of the bread, so
    be careful when measuring, it should be accurate.
    Fat
    Fat adds flavour and retains the moisture. Butter,
    margarine or vegetable oil, such as safflower,
    sunflower, canola, etc can be used.
    Yeast
    Without yeast the bread will not rise. Yeast needs
    liquid, sugar and warmth to grow and rise. Dried
    yeast has been used in the recipes in this
    instruction book where appropriate. Before using
    dried yeast always check the use by date, as
    stale yeast will prevent the bread from rising.
    ‘Tandaco’ brand yeast, (available nationally in
    most supermarkets) was used in the development
    of all recipes contained in this book with the
    exception of the Bread Mix recipes. Smaller
    packets of bread mix usually contain sachets of
    yeast. Larger bulk bags of bread mix usually do
    not include the yeast sachets, however the
    corresponding brand of yeast may be purchased
    separately.
    Some bulk and imported yeast is more active,
    therefore it is recommended to use less of these
    yeasts. Yeast may also be more active in hot
    weather. For information on other brands of yeast
    relating to quantities contact the manufacturer
    listed on the package.
    Rapid Rise Yeasts
    These products are a mixture of yeast and bread
    improver. Brands will vary in strength.
    If wishing to substitute for yeast in a recipe, omit
    the bread improver.
    Rapid Rise yeasts should not be used with Bread
    Mix as bread improver is already included.
    Water
    Tap water is used in all recipes. If using water in
    cold climates or from the refrigerator, allow water
    to come to room temperature. Extremes of hot or
    cold water will prevent the yeast activating.
    Eggs
    Eggs are used in some bread recipes and provide
    liquid, help with the raising and increase the
    nutritional value of the bread. They give flavour
    and tenderness and are usually used in the
    sweeter type of breads.
    Adding a bread improver will help
    strengthen the framework of the bread
    resulting in a loaf that is lighter in texture,
    higher in volume, more stable and with
    enhanced keeping qualities.

    Other Ingredients
    Fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. are added when
    the machine sounds 8 short ‘BEEPS’ approx. 5
    minutes before the end of the second knead.
    If added before this stage, excessive kneading
    will cause the ingredients to break down, rather
    than hold their shape. This applies to the Basic
    White and Sweet Bread settings only.
    Jam Setting Mix
    “Jam Setta” brand setting mix contains the
    ingredient ‘pectin’ which is a naturally occurring
    substance found in fresh fruit. The addition of
    ‘Jam Setta’ to the jam recipes helps the jam to

    ✔ Do measure ingredients accurately — weighed
    measurements are in fact more accurate than
    volume measurements.
    ✔ Do use bread flour unless recipe states
    otherwise.
    ✔ Do check use by dates on ingredients.
    ✔ Do add ingredients to the bread pan in the
    order stated in the recipe
    ✔ Do store opened ingredients in airtight
    containers.
    ✔ Do use ingredients at room temperature.
    ✘ Don’t use flour that contains a protein level of
    less than 11% i.e. generic brands of plain flour.
    ✘ Don’t use tableware cups and spoons for
    measuring.
    ✘ Don’t use compressed yeast.
    ✘ Don’t use hot water or liquids.
    ✘ Don’t use metal objects to remove the
    kneading blades from the bread pan or cooked
    loaf of bread, as this may cause damage to the
    non-stick coating.
    ✘ Don’t operate the machine if any ingredients
    have spilled over or around the element. Wipe
    away any spills first to prevent smoking
    occurring in the baking cycle.
    Never use the delay timer setting in recipes that
    contain perishable items, such as eggs, cheese,
    milk, cream and meats.
    Never use self-raising flour to make yeasted
    bread unless recipes states otherwise.
    Never immerse your bread machine or bread pan
    in water.
    Tip: If you live in a high altitude (above 900m) you
    will probably need to alter your bread recipe,
    as the higher the altitude the lower the air
    pressure, the faster the dough will rise. Try
    reducing the yeast by 1/4 teaspoon
    Tip: Flour properties can alter on a seasonal
    basis, therefore it may be necessary to
    adjust the water and flour ratio. This can be
    determined after ten minutes of the kneading
    cycle. Simply open the lid of the Bread
    Master Big Loaf and if the dough is too
    sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time
    until the dough reaches a firmer consistency.
    If the dough is too dry add more water, 1
    teaspoon at a time until a softer, more pliable
    dough results. After being properly kneaded
    dough, with the correct amount of water,
    should appear smooth and silky.
    Tip: When handshaping dough for rolls, weigh
    each piece of dough for more evenly sized
    results.
    Hints & Tips 18
    Hints & Tips to better
    bread making
    About Ingredients:
    Q: Can fresh milk be used instead of dry milk?
    A: Yes - but not when using the preset timer.
    Bread made with fresh milk will have a heavier
    texture than bread made with milk powder. The
    milk has to be scalded and cooled before adding
    to the other dough ingredients. Substitute the
    water with fresh milk and omit the milk powder.
    Q: Can butter or margarine be used in place
    of oil?
    A: Yes, but the bread crumb may appear a more
    creamy, yellow colour.
    Q: Can other sweetening agents be used in
    place of sugar?
    A: Yes – honey, golden syrup or brown sugar can
    be used. Do not use artifical sweeteners.
    However the brand SPLENDA was successfully
    tested during recipe development. When
    substituting honey or similar sweet liquids for
    sugar, reduce the water by the same amount.
    Q: Can salt be omitted?
    A: Salt plays a very important part in bread
    making. Omitting it will decrease water absorption
    in the dough, as well as affect mixing, the
    strength of gluten development and the
    fermentation of the yeast. In the finished bread,
    salt improves the loaf shape, crumb structure and
    crust colour, as well as extending shelf life and
    enhancing flavour.
    Q: Why do the ingredients need to be placed
    into the pan in the specified order?
    A: To ensure all dry ingredients are mixed with
    water and to avoid the yeast activating
    prematurely with the water when using the preset
    timer.
    About Baking Bread:
    Q: The bread cycle has been accidentally
    cancelled/reset or a power failure has
    occurred during the bread making process.
    What can I do?
    If the cycle can not be resumed or is cancelled;
    During the Kneading stage – Reselect the
    bread setting again and allow dough to re-knead
    and continue through the baking process. The
    result may be a loaf higher in volume and lighter
    in texture.
    During the Rising stage – Turn the machine off.
    Leave the dough in the pan and in the baking
    chamber with the lid closed. Allow the dough to
    prove up in size until almost near the top of the
    pan. Turn the machine on. Select the BAKE ONLY
    setting, the time will display 1:00 hour. Press the
    START/Stop button.
    During the Baking cycle – Select the BAKE
    ONLYsetting, the time will display 1:00 hour.
    Press the START/Stop button. Should the bread
    require less baking time, press the Start/STOP
    button at the appropriate time and remove the
    bread from the Bread Master Big Loaf and bread
    pan.
    Q: What happens if the bread isn't removed
    when the bake cycle is complete?
    A: As the loaf cools it gives off steam that cannot
    escape from the bread pan. The bread crust may
    become soft and the loaf may lose its shape.
    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.
    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.
    19 Questions & Answers
    Questions and Answers
    Questions & Answers 20
    Q: Why does the kneading blade stay inside the
    bread when it is removed from the bread pan?
    Is this normal?
    A: Yes.This is usually caused by the crispness of
    the crust. To locate the blade use a non-abrasive
    utensil and avoid damaging the non-stick coating
    of the blade (a wooden chopstick is ideal). Use a
    dry, thick cloth 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.
    Q: Are the room and water temperatures
    important?
    A: Yes – room and water temperature influences
    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.
    About Using the Preset Timer:
    Q: Why can’t the 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
    summer, when the timer should be set to a
    shorter period of time.
    Q: Why can’t some ingredients be used with
    the 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.
    Never use hot water, as it will kill the
    yeast.

    Care, Cleaning and
    Storage
    Before cleaning your Bread Master Big Loaf,
    remove the plug from the power outlet and allow
    the unit to cool completely.
    Bread Machine
    The body and the lid should be wiped over with a
    soft damp cloth.
    If overspills such as flour, nuts, sultanas, etc.
    occur in the baking chamber, carefully remove
    and clean using a damp cloth. Wipe dry before
    using next.
    Before re-using your Baker Master Big Loaf make
    certain that all parts are completely dry.
    Bread pan and kneading blade
    The bread pan and kneading blades of the Bread
    Master Big Loaf are coated with a high quality
    non-stick coating.
    To clean the bread pan: Fill half way with warm,
    soapy water (use a non-abrasive detergent), let sit
    for 10-20 minutes. Remove the kneading blades
    and clean both blades and inside of pan using a
    soft cloth. Be sure to remove any crust or dough
    that may become lodged around/underneath
    each blade and around the drive shafts.
    The bread pan should NOT be immersed in
    water. Take care not to scratch the non-stick
    surface on the inside of the pan and the kneading
    blade. Never use a hard substance, like a brush,
    to wash them.
    ● Dry the kneading blades and bread pan
    thoroughly.
    ● Do not use harsh cleaners, abrasives,
    brushes or steel wool.
    ● Never wash the bread pan or kneading
    blades in the dishwasher
    Storage
    When storing your Bread Master Big Loaf ensure
    the machine is completely cool, clean and dry.
    Place the bread pan and kneading blades into the
    baking chamber and close the lid. Do not place
    heavy objects on the lid top. Store the bread
    machine upright.
    Replacement Bread Pan and Kneading Blades
    Both the blades and bread pan coating are
    operating parts of the machine and as such are
    subject to normal wear and tear over the life of
    the machine. Depending on your usage of the
    bread machine they may need replacement if the
    bread begins to stick.
    Replacement parts are available from Breville

    Some discolouration may appear in the
    bread pan over time. This is a natural
    effect caused by moisture and steam
    and will not affect the bread in any way.

    NOTE!
    NEVER immerse the bread machine or
    the bread pan in water. ☛
    NOTE!
    As with any non-stick coated surface
    NEVER use metal utensils or abrasive
    cleaners on these items.

    Important safeguards
    Before using the Bread Master Big Loaf, we
    ask that like any electrical appliance you
    exercise a degree of care and adhere to the
    following precautions.
    READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
    OPERATING THE BREAD MAKER. SAVE
    THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
    REFERENCE.
    Important safeguards for your Breville
    Breadmaker
    ● Do not place machine near the edge of bench
    top or table during operation. Vibration during
    the kneading cycles may cause the machine to
    move slightly.
    ● Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas
    or electric burner, or where it could touch a
    heated oven. Position the unit a minimum
    distance of 10cm away from walls. This will help
    prevent the possibility of wall discolouration due
    to radiated heat.
    ● Always operate your bread maker on a stable
    and heat-resistant surface. Do not use on a
    cloth covered surface or near other flammable
    materials.
    ● Do not touch hot surfaces. Allow the bread
    maker to cool down before cleaning any parts.
    ● Use oven mitts when removing the hot bread
    pan and the bread from the pan.
    ● Do not pour any ingredients directly into the
    baking chamber. Place ingredients into the
    bread pan only.
    ● Do not place anything on top of the lid. Do not
    cover the air vents on the lid whilst the bread
    machine is in use.
    ● Do not place hands inside the bread maker
    while in operation. Avoid contact with moving
    parts.
    ● Do not leave the lid standing open for extended
    periods of time.
    ● Always make sure the kneading blades are
    removed from the base of the baked bread loaf
    prior to slicing.
    ● Keep the inside and outside of the bread
    machine clean. Follow the cleaning instructions
    provided in this booklet.
    ● Do not immerse the bread pan in water. This
    may interfere with the free movement of the
    drive shaft. Wash only the interior of the bread
    pan.
    Important safeguards for all electrical
    appliances
    ● To protect against electric shock, do not
    immerse cord, plug or appliance in water.
    ● Do not let the cord hand over the edge of a
    table or counter, touch hot surfaces or become
    knotted.
    ● Close supervision is necessary when this
    appliance is being used by or near children. The
    appliance is not intended for use by young
    children or infirm persons without supervision.
    ● Unplug the appliance from the power outlet
    when not in use and before cleaning
    ● If the supply cord, plug or actual appliance
    becomes damaged in any way return the entire
    appliance to the nearest authorised Breville
    Service Centre for examination and/or repair.
    ● This appliance is for household use only. Do not
    use outdoors, for commercial use or for any
    purpose other than its intended use.

    hand shape, allow to rise then bake in the
    conventional oven.
    9 Beginner's Guide
    The following instructions are to be used when
    making Bread or Dough recipes from the recipe
    section of this book.
    All recipes use local ingredients and Australian
    Standard Metric Measuring tools (cup, spoons
    and weighing scales.
    Before making your first loaf, remove any
    promotional stickers from the Bread Master
    Big Loaf. Do not remove the Bread Master Big
    Loaf logo label located on the front panel of your
    machine.
    1. Open the lid and remove the bread
    pan.
    Grasp the extended sides of bread pan and pull
    towards the front of the oven to unlock the pan,
    then lift upwards to remove .
    It is recommended to
    use a pair of oven mitts
    when removing the
    bread pan from the
    machine when the unit
    is hot.
    Always remove bread
    pan from the Bread
    Master Big Loaf before
    adding ingredients to
    ensure ingredients are
    not spilt into the baking
    chamber or onto the
    element.
    Before using for the first time, we recommend
    that the inside of the bread pan and the kneading
    blades be washed with warm soapy water, rinsed
    and dried thoroughly. Do not immerse the bread
    pan in water.
    2. Attach the twin kneading blades to
    each drive shaft in the bread pan.
    It is important that the kneading blades are
    properly mounted on each shaft in the base of
    the bread pan by aligning the flat edge on the
    inside of the kneading blade with the flat side of
    the shaft.
    If the blade is not
    seated correctly,
    ingredients may not be
    mixed and kneaded
    properly. (Before
    inserting the kneading
    blades ensure that
    there are no crumbs
    attached to either shaft
    inside the bread pan or
    inside the hole of each
    kneading blade.)
    3. Put the ingredients into the bread
    pan in the following order.
    Ensure the bread pan is removed from the machine
    before adding ingredients.
    1st. Liquid ingredients i.e. water
    2nd. Fat i.e. oil
    3rd. Dry ingredients i.e. salt, sugar, flour
    4th. Yeast
    It is most important that the ingredients are added
    in the correct order listed in the recipe and that
    the ingredients are measured and weighed
    accurately or the dough may not mix correctly or
    rise sufficiently.
    Beginner’s Guide to Baking
    Your First Loaf
    If using a pre-packaged bread mix, refer
    to recipes in the prepackaged bread mix
    sections of this booklet.

    NOTE!
    All ingredients should be room temperature
    (20-25°C)
    Mound the flour and make a small hollow in the
    centre of the flour and place the yeast there. If the
    yeast contacts the water before kneading, the
    bread may not rise well. This is very important
    when using the Preset Timer.
    4. Return the bread pan to the machine.
    Wipe down the outside of the bread pan to
    remove any spillage.
    Ensure bread pan is inserted completely as
    follows:
    Lower the bread pan into the machine.
    Push down on the bread pan firmly until it clicks
    firmly into position on both sides.
    5. Close the lid.
    Do not open the lid during operation except to
    check the consistency of the dough during the
    kneading cycle or to glaze and add seeds to the
    top of the loaf at 5 minutes before the end of the
    baking cycle.
    6. Plug in the bread maker.
    Insert plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet.
    Switch on at the power outlet. The display should
    blink as ‘000‘ when the power is on.
    7. Select the bread type, loaf size and
    crust colour mode.
    Press the ‘SELECT’ button until the display
    indicates the appropriate bread setting. For basic
    white bread press the SELECT button once and
    ‘1‘ will appear in the Display Window. The LOAF
    size is automatically set at 1.25kg and CRUST
    colour set at Medium.
    For another loaf size and crust colour, press the
    LOAF and CRUST buttons until the red light
    aligns with the desired setting.
    8. Start the bread maker.
    Press the ‘START/stop’ button once. The
    machine will begin kneading the dough and the
    total time remaining until the bread is completed
    will appear in the display window. The remaining
    time will ‘count down‘ in one-minute increments.
    • When the kneading cycle ends the bread will
    start to rise.
    • During the baking cycle of a program, steam
    may sometimes come out of the vents on the
    lid. The window may steam up. This is a normal
    part of the bread making process.
    • When the bread is finished baking, the machine
    will sound 3 double ‘beeps’ and the display
    window will read ‘000‘. The bread is now ready
    to remove.
    9. Remove the bread pan.
    After the machine ‘beeps’, press the ‘start/STOP’
    button. Remove the bread pan with oven mitts
    as it is very hot! Pull the pan forward to unlock
    and lift pan upwards.
    Never set the hot bread pan directly on the body
    of the unit, tablecloth, plastic surfaces or other
    surfaces affected by heat
    If you do not wish to remove the bread
    immediately, the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    automatically go into a ‘Keep Warm‘ setting,
    holding the temperature of the bread for up to 60
    minutes (There is no ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for
    Dough and Bake settings).
    The ‘Keep Warm‘ setting for the Yeast Free
    setting is 22 minutes and the Jam setting 14
    minutes.
    10. Take the bread out of the bread pan.
    Using oven mitts, gently shake the bread out of
    the pan on to a wire rack to cool. We
    recommend allowing the bread sufficient cooling
    time before slicing. This should ensure straight,
    even slices.
    It is normal for the kneading blades to sometimes
    remain in the bread, due to the crispness of the
    crust. If this occurs, remove each blade with a
    plastic or wooden utensil (a wooden chopstick is
    ideal).
    Handle with care as the kneading blades could
    still be very hot.
    Do not use metal utensils such as a knife to
    remove blades, as they will scratch the non-stick
    coated surface.
    11. Unplug the power supply cord after
    Beginner's Guide 10
    If you accidentally press the wrong
    setting, crust colour or loaf size, press
    and hold the ‘start/STOP‘ button to reset
    the program.

    NOTE!
    Certain settings such as Wholewheat,
    Wholewheat Rapid and Jam have a prewarming
    cycle before the kneading cycle
    commences. During this time the
    machine will be warming the ingredients
    but the kneading blades will not operate.

    NOTE!
    Remove the bread from the bread pan
    as soon as possible. The crust can
    become moist and sticky if left in the
    bread pan too long.

    NOTE!
    use.
    Switch the Bread Master Big Loaf off at the
    power outlet. Hold the plug when pulling the
    power supply cord out of the wall socket. Never
    pull on the power supply cord.
    Allow at least 1 hour for the Bread Master Big
    Loaf to cool down before using again. Leave the
    lid up to help the machine cool down quicker.
    If the Bread Master Big Loaf is too hot it will
    display an error code and will not operate until it
    cools down to the correct operating temperature
    for kneading.
    When not in use store the bread machine in a
    cool, dry place.
    12. Cut the bread.
    Always make sure the kneading blades are
    removed from the bottom of the baked bread loaf
    prior to slicing.
    After the bread has cooled, cut the bread using a
    bread knife or electric knife or other serrated knife
    on a breadboard. A standard knife is likely to tear
    the bread.
    Breville recommend
    using the Breville Bread
    Slicing Guide – Model
    BS1. This foldable
    lightweight cutting
    guide is the ideal
    accessory for any
    breadmaker. The guide
    slots ensure straight,
    even slices every time
    when using a bread
    knife or electric knife.
    13. Store the
    bread.
    Store the bread in freezer bags or a sealable
    bread box.
    To store for more than a few days put the bread
    in the freezer.
    Bread may be frozen for up to 1 month. Place
    into freezer bags, remove any air, secure with ties
    and label.
    Add-In Ingredient Beeper
    The Bread Master Big Loaf features an ‘Add
    Ingredient Beeper’ which operates in the Basic
    and Sweet settings.
    The machine will ‘BEEP‘ 8 times, approx. 5
    minutes before the end of the second knead,
    indicating the time to add any additional fruit,
    nuts, herbs, chocolate, etc. required or as
    specified in the recipes.
    The addition of ingredients at this time assists
    with keeping whole shapes, rather than mashed
    through the bread dough.
    While the machine is still kneading add the
    ingredients gradually in batches, allowing the
    ingredients to slowly combine with the dough.
    Take care not to drop ingredients over the side of
    the bread pan into the baking chamber, as these
    may burn and smoke during the baking cycle.
    DO NOT PRESS THE ‘START/STOP’ BUTTON
    TO ADD INGREDIENTS AS THIS WILL
    CANCEL THE SETTING AND RESET THE

    The Bread Master Big Loaf Preset Timer allows
    you to wake up to the aroma of fresh baked
    bread in the morning. The Preset Timer allows
    you to set the timer up to 15 hours in advance
    before you require your baked loaf.
    Recipes using perishable ingredients should
    not be made using the Preset Timer.
    To use the Preset Timer:
    1. Add ingredients to bread pan, place and lock
    the bread pan into the machine.
    2. Select the appropriate bread cycle program,
    loaf size and crust colour.
    3. Before pressing the ‘START/STOP’ button,
    press the TIMER button ‘3:20‘ will be
    displayed, when the Basic White, 1.25kg
    setting is selected. (If other settings are
    selected, the time to be displayed will be
    different.) This means the bread will be ready in
    3 hours and 20 minutes. Continue to press the
    TIMER button to increase the amount of time
    between now and when you want the bread to
    be ready.
    Each time you press the TIMER button the
    time displayed advances 10 minutes. Hold
    down the TIMER button for a speedier
    adjustment. Should you skip past the required
    time, press the TIMER button until the time
    required comes around again.
    If you wish to re-program for another time, press
    the Start/STOP button and repeat the above
    steps.
    Press the START/Stop button and the timer will
    begin to count down. It will start to knead the
    dough 3 hours and 20 minutes before the desired
    completion time.
    The timer can be set to bake bread up to 15
    hours in advance.
    How to use the
    preset timer
    Example
    The present time is 9:00pm and you want to wake
    up to the aroma of fresh homemade bread at
    6:30am tomorrow morning. It is 9 hours and 30
    minutes from now until 6:30a.m. You should set the
    timer to 9 hours and 30 minutes -‘9:30‘.
    The Preset Timer can not be used for all
    recipes. Individual recipes will specify if
    not suitable.

    NOTE!
    It is advisable before using the Preset
    Timer for the first time to test the recipe
    to ensure the correct ratio of flour/water
    and other indgredients. It is advisable to
    weigh and measure ingredients
    accurately.

    Using the Bake Only setting.
    The BAKE ONLY setting of the Bread Master Big
    Loaf gives more versatility to your bread making.
    The BAKE ONLY setting is useful when wishing
    to:
    ● Crispen loaves already baked and cooled
    ● Re-warm loaves already baked and cooled
    ● Delay-bake a finished dough
    ● Melt or brown toppings on bread
    To use the Bake Only Setting:
    1. Press the ‘SELECT’ button nine times and the
    display window will show ‘9‘ (BAKE).
    2. Press the START/Stop button, ‘1.00’ will
    appear in the Display Window (the time is
    automatically set at 1.00 hour).
    3. Should your bread require less baking time,
    press the Start/STOP button at the appropriate
    time and remove the bread from the bread
    machine and bread pan.
    How to Increase the
    Baking Time
    Bake Only
    How to Increase the
    Final Rising Time
    The Bread Master Big Loaf allows you to increase
    the baking time twice before the end of the
    baking cycle. When using one of the bread
    settings or Bake Only setting, the Bread Master
    Big Loaf will beep at 4 second intervals, for 1
    minute, at 5 minutes prior to the completion of
    the baking cycle.
    To increase the bake time by 10 minutes:
    Press the CRUST button once and the Display
    Window will show the adjusted time (‘15.00‘).
    At 5 minutes before the completion of the
    adjusted time the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    repeat the process, allowing a further 10 minutes
    adjustment to the baking time (20 minutes in total
    to the baking cycle).
    Should you choose not to increase the baking
    time, the Bread Master Big Loaf will continue with
    the time remaining in the selected setting.
    The flavours and textures available in bread today
    are many and varied. With this in mind, the Bread
    Master Big Loaf provides the facility for those
    who enjoy their bread lighter in texture and higher
    in volume.
    When using one of the bread settings the Bread
    Master Big Loaf will beep at 4 second intervals
    for 1 minute, at 5 minutes proir to the completion
    of the final rising cycle.
    To increase the rising time by 10 minutes;
    Press the LOAF button once and the Display
    Window will show an increase of 10 minutes in
    the remaining time. The Bread Master Big Loaf
    will repeat the process when the extra 10
    minutes has elapsed, allowing a further 10
    minutes to the rising cycle (20 minutes in total to
    the final rising
    time).
    Should you choose not to increase the time in
    the final rise, the Bread Master Big Loaf will
    continue with the time remaining in the selected
    program.
    13 Increasing baking/rising times
    Baking bread is in part a science and each
    ingredient plays an integral role. Therefore care
    should be taken when weighing and
    measuring ingredients to obtain accuracy.
    Recipes in this instruction booklet have been
    developed using Australian Metric Weights and
    Measurements.
    Australian Metric Measurements
    1 teaspoon 5ml
    1 tablespoon 20ml
    1 cup 250ml
    METRIC WEIGHING SCALES
    For greater accuracy and consistant results it is
    recommend that a set of metric weighing scales
    should be used as they provide greater accuracy
    than measuring cups.
    Tare (zero) the scales with the container in
    position then spoon or pour ingredients in until
    desired weight is achieved.
    METRIC MEASURING CUPS AND SPOONS
    If using the graduated METRIC measuring cups,
    it is important to spoon or scoop the dry
    ingredients loosely into the required cup. Do not
    tap the cup on the bench, or pack the
    ingredients into the cup UNLESS otherwise
    directed. Level the top of cup with a knife. When
    using graduated metric measuring spoons, level
    top of spoon with a straight edged knife or
    spatula.
    DO NOT USE TABLEWARE SPOONS OR
    CUPS.
    METRIC LIQUID MEASURING JUGS
    When measuring liquids use a graduated,
    METRIC measuring jug. Place jug on a flat
    surface, check for accuracy at eye level.
    DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR
    MEASURING CUPS.

    NOTE!
    For New Zealand Customers
    New Zealand Metric Measurements
    1 Metric Cup 250ml
    1 tablespoon 15ml
    1 teaspoon 5ml
    The New Zealand tablespoon is 5ml less than
    that of the Australian tablespoon, so care
    should be taken when measuring ingredients
    to compensate for this variance.
    i.e. 1 Australian tablespoon = 1 New Zealand
    tablespoon + 1 New Zealand teaspoon.
    It is important to note that New Zealand
    ingredients, especially flour and yeast, differ
    from the Australian equivalents. In the Vital
    Ingredients section (pages 15 and 16) suitable
    New Zealand products have been listed.
    We suggest these New Zealand products be
    substituted for the Australian products in the
    Easy Bake Recipe Section.

    FLOUR
    Flour is the most important ingredient used for
    bread making. It provides food for the yeast and
    structures the loaf. When mixed with liquid, the
    protein in the flour starts to form gluten. Gluten is
    a network of elastic strands, which interlock to
    trap the gases produced by yeast. This process
    increases as the dough undergoes kneading and
    this provides the dough with the structure
    required to produce the weight and shape of the
    bread.
    White Wheat Flour
    The flour used in the Bread Master Big Loaf
    should be bread flour. Baker’s flour or plain flour
    may be used. There is no need to sift the flour.
    Plain flour is most readily available, however best
    results are obtained with flour with at least 11%-
    12% protein content. For this reason, the recipes
    in this book requiring Bread Flour, have been
    made with flours with a 12% protein content. This
    is normally indicated on the packaging. Do not
    use self-raising flour unless indicated in the
    recipe.
    ‘Kitchen Collection’ Brand Bread Flour
    This brand of bread flour is available nationally at
    larger supermarkets and was used for the
    development of most of the recipes contained in
    this guide. It is a high protein, white bread flour,
    with 12% protein content ensuring a higher
    quality and consistency to the baked bread.
    ‘Defiance’ Brand High Grade Plain Flour
    Also known as bread or baker’s flour, it is
    produced from hard wheats to give a protein level
    of at least 11.5%. This product is available
    nationally at larger supermarkets.
    Wholemeal Flour
    Contains all the bran, germ and flour of the
    wholewheat grain. Although breads baked with
    this type of flour will be higher in fibre, the loaf will
    be lower in height and heavier in texture. A lighter
    textured bread can be achieved by replacing 1
    cup of wholemeal flour with white bread flour.
    Rye flour
    A popular flour used for bread making, rye flour is
    low in protein so it is essential to combine rye
    flour with bread flour to make bread successfully
    in the Bread Master Big Loaf. Rye flour is
    traditionally used to make Pumpernickel and
    Black Breads.
    Gluten Flour
    Gluten flour is a concentrated mixture of glutenforming
    protein and wheat flour. Adding gluten
    flour can improve the structure and volume of
    bread when using low protein, stoneground,
    wholemeal or plain flour.
    BREAD MIXES
    These convenient mixes contain flour, sugar, milk,
    salt, oil and other ingredients such as bread
    improvers. Usually only the addition of water and
    yeast is required. Bread mix brands such as
    ‘Kitchen Collection’, ‘Defiance’ and ‘Lowan’ are
    available from major supermarkets in Australia.
    Recipes for these bread mix brands are listed in
    the Easy Bake recipe section of this book.
    For information on other brands of bread mix
    contact the manufacturer listed on the
    package.
    BREAD IMPROVER
    Several brands of bread improvers are available
    nationally in supermarkets and health food stores.
    The ingredients in a bread improver are usually a
    food acid such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) plus
    other enzymes (amylases) extracted from wheat
    flours.
