Sunbeam 5890 Bread Maker

Getting Started

1. Place the bread maker on a counter where the plug will reach an outlet. DO NOT yet plug the machine into the wall outlet. You will be shown later when to do this. Make sure you can open the bread maker top without hitting the top of kitchen cabinets.
2. Open the lid and remove the baking pan. To do this, simply grasp the handle of the pan and pull straight up. Use a gentle, non-abrasive soap and wash, rinse and dry the pan thoroughly.
3. Attach the kneading blade to the baking pan, as shown. You will find the kneading blade in a small plastic wrap attached to the power cord.
4. Set the pan aside. Do not yet place the pan into the bread maker.

Let’s Bake Bread

The simplest way to learn how to bake bread is to follow a basic recipe. The following recipe is easy and the bread is delicious.

Before You Begin

• Be sure to start with fresh ingredients.
• Be sure to have the following measuring equipment:
  — Liquid measuring cup
  — Dry measuring cups
  — Measuring spoons
• You will need the following ingredients:
  — Water
  — Salt
  — Butter/Margarine
• Bread flour is specifically formulated and is preferred for electric bread machines.
  — “ Non-fat dry milk powder ”
  — Sugar
  — Active, bread machine yeast
  

Measuring

The most important secret of making bread: “Exact measurements.” That’s the key to successfully baking bread. “Exact measurements.” With wet ingredients, use ONLY measuring cups with the cups/ounces marked clearly on the side. After filling the measuring cup, place it on a flat surface and view it at eye level to make sure the amount of liquid is exact. Then, double check.

With dry ingredients, use a spoon to place ingredients into the measuring cup then “level off” the measurement with the back of a knife or spatula to make sure the measurement is exact. Another helpful tip is to never use the cup to scoop the ingredients (for example, flour). By scooping, you could add up to one Tbsp. of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.

The SECOND most important secret of making bread

Add ingredients into the bread pan in the exact order given in the recipe. This means:

• FIRST, liquid ingredients
• SECOND, dry ingredients
• LAST, yeast

Also, make sure ingredients are at room temperature, unless otherwise noted (that is, between 75°–85°F or 24° 30°C). Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. Last, it’s a good idea to start with fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast). Now, let’s try a simple (but really good) recipe.

1. Attach the kneading blade in the bread pan.
2. Place ingredients into the bread pan in the following order: water, butter or margarine, sugar, milk powder, salt and flour.
3. With finger, make a small indentation on one side of the flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
4. Carefully insert bread pan into bread maker and gently close the lid.
5. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
6. Press the Menu button until the “Basic” program is selected.
7. Press the Crust Color button for the desired crust color.
8. Press the Loaf button to select the desired size loaf (1-pound or 1.5-pound loaf) .
9. Press the Start button.
10. When the baking cycle is complete, press the stop button.
11. Open the lid and while using oven mitts, firmly grasp the bread pan handle and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine
12. Unplug the bread maker and let bread cool before removing from baking pan.
13. After the bread machine and bread pan has cooled down
14. Use non-stick spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
15. Turn bread pan upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto rack.
16. Turn bread right side up and cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.

Bread Machine Stages

It’s fun to watch your bread being made through the viewing window. For the basic cycle, you can expect the following things to happen as the timer counts down to zero.

• At 3:00 The dough is kneaded for the first time. (10 minutes) At 2:50 The dough begins to rise. (20 minutes)
• At 2:30 The dough is kneaded for the second time. (15 minutes) At 2:15 The dough continues to rise. (20 minutes)
• At 1:55 The dough is “punched down.” (30 seconds)
• At 1:55 The dough rises for the final time. (55 minutes) At 1:00 The bread begins to bake. (50 minutes)
• At 0:00 The bread is finished.

Overview of Bread maker Features

1 Menu

Press this button to select the kind of bread you want to make. Each time you press the button you will hear a beep. The display shows a number for each setting. For example, Basic is 1, Whole Wheat is 2, French is 3, etc.

2 Crust Color Button

The Crust Color button allows you to choose how light or dark to make the crust of the bread. Each time you press the Crust Color button the display will change as follows:

• L-Light = L
• P-Medium = P
• H-Dark = H

In addition, the display will show the cycle number before the crust color setting. For example, the Basic with a Medium crust reads “ 1P. ” Or the French bread setting with a dark crust reads “ 3H.”

3 Display

The Display shows the following settings:

• The number of the bread setting cycle
• The crust color setting
• The time remaining while your bread is kneading or baking

Once you press the “Start/Stop ” button to begin, the display will show the remaining time until your bread is baked. When the display reads “ 0:00 ” the bread is baked.

4 Timer Set Buttons

Press these buttons to delay the time for your bread maker to start. For example, you can time your bread to be ready for dinner, or to bake while you are sleeping. You may delay up to 18 hours.

5 Start/Stop Button

Press this button to start and stop your breadmaker or begin countdown for delayed baking bread.

Bread maker Settings

Your bread maker can bake almost any kind of bread. The recipes we provided clearly show you which setting you should use.

1. Basic (Time: 3 hours)
2. Whole Wheat ( Time: 4 hours, 10 minutes)
3. French (Time: 3 hours, 50 minutes)
4. Sweet (Time: 2 hours, 50 minutes)
5. Express Bake™ (Time: 58 minutes)
6. Quick (Time: 1 hour, 43 minutes)
7. Dough (Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes)
8. Bagel Dough (Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes)
9. European (Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes)
10. Jam (Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes)
11. Bake (Time: 1 hour)

1 Basic

This setting is probably used more than any other because it gives you the best results with just about any recipe.

2 Whole Wheat

The whole wheat setting offers a longer rise time for breads that contain more then 50% whole wheat flour.

3 French

Use this setting for making French breads. French bread takes longer to knead, rise and bake, providing a heartier crust.

4 Sweet

The sweet setting is for baking breads with high amounts of sugar, fats and proteins, all of which tend to increase browning.

5 Express Bake ™ (58 Minutes)

Use this setting for baking bread in under 1 hour; this setting will only bake 1.5-lb. size loaves.

6 Quick

Use this setting for recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda rather than yeast to make bread or cake rise; only specially designed recipes are to be used for this setting.

7 Dough

This setting lets you prepare dough for rolls, specialty breads, pizza, etc., which you shape by hand, allow to rise, then bake in a conventional oven.

8 Bagel Dough

This setting will only make bagel dough and will not bake the final bread.

9 European

This setting makes European breads such as Russian Black Bread, Pumpernickel, etc.

10 Jam

This setting makes jam from fresh fruit.

11 Bake

This setting is for baking dough that you may have prepared without using the previous settings.

Express Bake Setting: Making Bread In Under 1 Hour

Your SUNBEAM ® bread maker can bake great bread in under 1 hour. This is called the “Express Bake™ ” setting Express Bake™ loaves are a little different from loaves baked on other settings.

Express Bake ™ Setting

• This setting can bake bread in 58 minutes. The bread is a little more dense in texture with this setting.
• The Express Bake™ setting will only make a 1.5-lb. loaf.

There are a few things you should know about the Express Bake ™ settings that are different than the other settings.

• Express Bake™ breads tend to have a darker, thicker crust than other kinds of bread. Sometimes there will be a crack in the top of the crust. This is because baking is done at higher temperatures. They also tend to be shorter, denser loaves.
• You CANNOT use the Delay Timer for the Express Bake™ settings. This would cool the liquid ingredients and affect the way that the bread rises.
• You CANNOT use the ”Crust Color ” option for Express Bake ™ breads.
• DO NOT open the cover while making Express Bake ™ breads.
• If the loaf is hard to remove from the pan, let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Gently shake the bread out of the pan and wait for 15 minutes before slicing.
• If you wish to bake another loaf of bread, you must let the bread maker cool for 20 minutes with the cover open.
• YOU CAN use standard bread mixes for Express Bake ™ breads, but the results may not be as good as the results when using the recipe within this booklet.

Express Bake ™ Setting Tips and Hints

Yeast

Always use a fast-rising yeast. DO NOT use active dry yeast for Express Bake™ settings because the loaves will be much shorter when baked.

Liquids

Always use hot water in the range of 115°–125°F /46°– 52°C. You must use a cooking thermometer to gauge the  temperature; hotter water can kill the yeast while cooler water may not activate it.

Salt

As a rule, you should use LESS salt for Express Bake ™ breads. Less salt provides you with a higher loaf. Make sure to follow the recipe suggestions in this booklet for best results.

Other Ingredients

Make sure all other ingredients (like flour, sugar, dry milk, butter, etc.) are at room temperature. Always use bread flour for the Express Bake ™ settings.

Things You May Need to Buy

• You should only use “Bread Machine” flour for the Express Bake™ recipes.
• You may need a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of the water you use in these recipes. You should only use hot water (between 115°F and 125°F or 46°C and 52°C) for Express Bake™ recipes.

Although baking Express Bake ™ bread is a little different, the results and convenience are well worth it. The following recipe is a great one  to try for your first Express Bake ™ loaf.

1. Attach the kneading blade in the bread pan.
2. Place ingredients into the bread pan in the following order: water, oil, sugar, salt and flour.
3. With finger, make a small indentation on one side of the flour. Add yeast to indentation, making sure it does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
4. Carefully insert bread pan into bread maker and gently close the lid.
5. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
6. Press the Menu button until the “Express Bake ™ ” program is selected.
7. Press the Start button.
8. When the baking cycle is complete, press the stop button.
9. Open the lid and while using oven mitts, firmly grasp the bread pan handle and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine.
10. Unplug the bread maker and let bread cool before removing from baking pan.
11. If necessary, use non-stick spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
12. Turn bread pan upside down onto a wire cooling rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto rack.
13. Turn bread right side up and cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.

Use Exact Measurements

We’ve already mentioned how important it is to use exact measurements when baking bread, but it should be said again. Level off all dry ingredients and make sure that all liquid ingredients are measured in a glass cup with the markings clearly labeled on the side.

Use Fresh Ingredients

You should always use fresh ingredients. The reasons are:

• Flour. If you have stored your flour for a long time, it may have become wet from absorbing moisture, or dry, depending on the area of the country in which you live. We recommend using fresh bread flour.
• Yeast. Fresh yeast is probably the most important ingredient in baking bread. If the yeast is not fresh, your bread may not rise. It is better to buy new yeast than to take a chance on yeast that has been stored for a long time.

You can test the freshness of your yeast. Simply fill a cup with warm water, then add and stir in 2 tsp. of sugar. Sprinkle a few tsp. of yeast on the surface of the water and wait. After 15 minutes, the yeast should foam and there should be distinct odor. If neither reaction happens, the yeast is old and should be thrown away. Add Ingredients in the order given according to the recipe.

Read all recipes from top to bottom, and remember:

• FIRST : liquid ingredients
• SECOND : dry ingredients
• LAST : yeast

If the Doughball Is Too Wet

During the second kneading cycle, check the consistency of the doughball. If the doughball appears sticky or wet, like  pancake batter, sprinkle in flour, a Tbsp. at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round and dry, and circles nicely in the pan. Sprinkle a little more flour if needed.

If the Doughball Is Too Dry

If the doughball appears flaky, or you hear your bread maker begin to make “knocking” sounds, the dough ball is too dry. To correct this problem, simply sprinkle in water a tsp. at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round and dry, and circles nicely in the pan. Be careful not to add too much water.

For Baking at High Altitudes

If you live above 3000 feet, you probably already know how to adjust other recipes like cakes and muffins. Higher altitudes tend to:

• make dough rise faster
• make flour drier

To compensate for high altitude baking, we recommend the following:

If the Dough Is Too Dry

• increase the amount of water to the recipe, sometimes as much as 2 – 4 Tbsp. per cup.

If the Bread Rises Too High

• reduce the amount of yeast. For each tsp. of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 tsp.
• reduce the amount of sugar. For each Tbsp. of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 tsp. fashioned true.

The following chart will help you convert measurements used in the recipes.
For example: 1/2 Tbsp. = 1-1/2 tsp.

Fluid Ounce(s)             Cup            Tablespoon(s)      Teaspoons
