Sunbeam ExpressBake 5833 Bread Maker Machine

Getting Started

1. Place the breadmaker 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 breadmaker top without hitting the top of the kitchen cabinets.
2. Open the lid and remove the baking pan. To do this, simply grasp the handle of the pan and pull it 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 breadmaker.

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

• Make sure you have the following measuring equipment:
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Dry measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
• You will need the following ingredients:
  • Water
  • Butter/Margarine
  • Salt
  • Bread flour (be sure to buy bread flour, preferably for breadmakers)
  • Dry milk
  • Sugar
  • Active, fast-rising 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, always “level off” the measurement with the back of a knife or a 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 tablespoon of extra ingredients. Fill the measuring cup with a spoon before leveling off.
• The SECOND most important secret of making bread. Put the ingredients into the breadmaker in the EXACT order given in the recipe. This means:
  • FIRST, liquid ingredients
  • SECOND, dry ingredients
  • LAST, yeast
• Also, make sure ALL ingredients are at room temperature, (between 77°–85° F) unless otherwise noted in the recipe .
• Temperatures too cool or too high can affect the way the bread rises and bakes. Last, it’s a good idea to start with all new, fresh ingredients (especially fresh flour and yeast). Now, let’s try a simple (but really good) recipe.

Traditional White Bread 2 lb. loaf

• 1 + 1/3 cups water
• 4 teaspoons softened butter or margarine
• 4 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 teaspoons dry milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1. Carefully measure 1 and 1/3 cups water. Remember, use water that is room temperature. DO NOT use very hot or very cold water. It’s a good idea to view the
   measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 and 1/3 cups.
2. Pour the water into the bread pan.
3. Carefully measure 4 teaspoons of butter or margarine that is at room temperature. Add this to the bread pan.This takes care of all of the liquid ingredients for the recipe. Next come the dry ingredients.
4. Measure 4 cups of bread flour. Make sure not to“overpack” the flour into the cup. To avoid over packing, a good trick is to fill the measuring cup to overflowing,
   then tap the side of the cup with a knife or spatula to remove air pockets. Level off the measuring cup with the knife or spatula. Pour the flour into the bread pan.
5. Measure 2 tablespoons of sugar. Again, make sure to level off the tablespoons for an exact measurement. Add the sugar into the bread pan.
6. Measure 4 teaspoons of dry milk. Level off the teaspoons of dry milk like all of the rest of the dry ingredients. Add the dry milk to the bread pan.
7. Measure 2 teaspoons of salt. It is especially important to measure the salt precisely because too much salt, even a little, can affect the rising of the dough. Add the salt to the bread pan.
8. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients.
   • Measure (again, leveling off) 2 teaspoons of yeast and carefully pour it into the well you made in the flour.
9. Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker.
10. Close the lid of the bread machine and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. The following things will happen. The machine will “beep,” and the lights of the display will turn on. The time setting will say “3:00” hours.
11. Repeatedly press the “Crust Color” button to select the kind of crust you want. For this recipe we recommend “Medium.” Depending on the crust color you select, the arrow will be pointing to either light, medium or dark. As you press crust color, the display will temporarily read:
    • Light: 1L
    • Medium: 1P
    • Dark: 1H
    • Press the “Crust Color” button until “IP” (medium) temporarily appears in the display window.
12. Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread. You will hear the breadmaker begin to mix the ingredients.

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.

• To begin: 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. (60 minutes)
• At 0:00: The bread is finished.

Overview of Breadmaker Features

1. Press this button to select the kind of bread you want to make. Each time you press the button you will hear a beep, and the number of the bread setting will appear on the display. For example: Basic is 1, Whole Wheat is 2, French is 3, etc. (For more information about each setting, please see “Breadmaker Settings” on page 14.)
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 Whole Wheat bread setting with a dark crust reads “2H.”
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 and baking
   • Once you press the “Start/Stop” button 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 breadmaker to start. For example, you can time your bread to be ready for dinner, or to bake while you are sleeping. (To learn how to use this feature, please see “Chapter 5: Using the Delay Timer” on page 23.)
5. Start/Stop button
   Press this button to start and stop your breadmaker.
   • Important: Do not press “Stop” when making bread because this will cancel the entire cycle and you will need to start from scratch

Breadmaker Settings

Your breadmaker can bake almost any kind of bread. We provide recipes that clearly show you which setting you should use.

• Basic (Time: 3 hours)
• Whole Wheat (Time: 3 hours, 40 minutes)
• French (Time: 3 hours, 50 minutes)
• Sweet (Time: 2 hours, 50 minutes)
• EXPRESSBAKE™ (Time: 58 minutes)
• EXPRESSBAKE™ (Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes)
• Dough (Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes)
• 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 than 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.

EXPRESSBAKE™: Making Bread in Under 1 Hour

There are two EXPRESSBAKE™ settings:

• One setting can bake bread in 58 minutes. The bread is a little more dense in texture with this setting.
• The other setting is for baking loaves in 1 hour 20 minutes. The loaves baked with this setting are a little taller and more airy than the 58 minute breads
• There are a few things you should know about the EXPRESSBAKE™ settings that are different than the other settings.
  • Loaves baked on EXPRESSBAKE™ settings 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 EXPRESSBAKE™ settings. This would cool the liquid ingredients and affect the way that the bread rises.
  • You CANNOT use the “Crust Color” buttons when baking breads on the EXPRESSBAKE™ settings.
  • DO NOT open the cover while making breads on the EXPRESSBAKE™ settings.
  • If the loaf is hard to remove from the pan, let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Shake the bread out of the pan and wait for 15 minutes before slicing.

1 1/2 lb. Traditional White Bread

• 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water (115°–125° F)
• 2 tablespoons oil (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups “Bread Machine” flour
• 41/2 teaspoons “Red Star® Quick•Rise™” yeast

1. Carefully measure 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total) of hot water. Remember, it’s a good idea to place the measuring cup at eye level to make sure you have measured exactly 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (9 ounces total).
2. Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the temperature of the water is between 115°–125° F. When the water is at the proper temperature, pour into the baking pan.
3. Carefully measure and add 2 tablespoons oil that is at room temperature.
4. Carefully measure and add the salt, sugar, and dry milk to the baking pan.
5. Measure and add exactly 3 cups of bread flour to the baking pan. Remember to level off the bread flour for an exact measurement.
6. Before adding the yeast, use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure (again leveling off) 41/2 teaspoons of “Red Star® Quick•Rise™” yeast and carefully pour into the well you made in the flour.
7. Carefully snap the baking pan into the breadmaker
8. Repeatedly press the Select button until the display reads 5:P.
9. Press the “Start/Stop” button and your machine will start making bread.

Using the Delay Timer

• You can delay the time your breadmaker starts to have fresh bread ready when you get up in the morning or when you come from work. We recommend that before you use the Delay Timer, you try out a few recipes. Use recipes that have produced good results for you in the past.
• Important: You cannot use the Delay Timer for EXPRESSBAKE™ settings. Before using the Delay Timer:

1. Add all of the ingredients of the recipe.
2. Select the correct setting for the kind of bread you are making (French, Sweet, etc.).
3. Select the crust color.

To use the Delay Timer:

1. Figure out how many hours and minutes there are between now and when you want final, baked bread. For example, if it is 8:00 AM and you want bread ready for dinner at 6:00 PM, that is 10 hours.
2. Use the “Timer Up” button to advance the time in 10 minutes increments. In our example, you will do this until the timer reads “10:00.” If necessary, use the “Timer Down” button to decrease the time. (To advance the time quickly, simply press and hold down the “Timer Up/Down” buttons.)
   Important: If you make a mistake or wish to start over, press and hold down the “Start/Stop” button until you hear a beep. The display will show the original setting and cycle time. The Delay Timer is canceled and you can start again.
3. When the Delay Timer is set where you want it, make sure to press the “Start/Stop” button. The colon “:” will flash and your bread will be ready when you planned.

Tips and Hints

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

Add Ingredients in Order

Read all recipes from top to bottom, and remember:

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

Check the Doughball

• This is a secret well known by people who make bread the old fashioned way. While hand kneading the mixture, they adjust the consistency of the dough by adding a little flour or a little water until the doughball is just right. Although the breadmaker kneads the dough for you, this secret is still true. Here’s what you should do.
• 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 tablespoon at a time, until the doughball appears smooth, round, and dry and circles nicely in the pan.
• If the doughball is too dry If the doughball appears flaky, or you hear your breadmaker begin to make “knocking” sounds, the dough ball is too dry. To correct this problem, simply sprinkle in water, a teaspoon 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 tablespoons per cup If the bread rises too high
  • reduce the amount of yeast. For each teaspoon of yeast, try reducing the yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • reduce the amount of sugar. For each tablespoon of sugar, reduce the amount by 1 to 2 teaspoons

Measurements Equivalency Chart

The following chart will help you convert measurements used in the recipes.
For example: 1/2 tablespoon = 1 + 1/2 teaspoons

Taking Care of Your Bread Machine

General cleaning

1. Remove all bread crumbs by wiping them away with a slightly damp cloth.
2. DO NOT bend the heating element which is located on the inside of the breadmaker.

Cleaning the baking pan and kneading blade

1. Wipe the baking pan and kneading blade with a damp cloth and dry completely.
2. DO NOT wash the pan or parts in the dishwasher. This will damage the finish of the pan and the other parts.

Caring for your breadmaker

1. Keep your breadmaker clean at all times.
2. Don’t worry if the color of the bread pan changes over time. The color change is a result of steam and other moisture and does not affect the machine’s performance.
3. If you have trouble removing the kneading blade, place warm water in the bread pan for 10–15 minutes and this will loosen the blade.

Storing your breadmaker

1. Make sure the machine is clean and dry before storing.
2. Store the breadmaker with the lid closed.
3. Do not place heavy objects on the lid.
4. Remove the kneading blade and place inside the bread pan.
