The Multi Bread Shaper programs (13 and 14) enable you to make your own variety of bread 

shapes. From small and big buns to baguettes and free shapes. These programs have two stages:

 - First stage: kneading and rising of the dough

 - Second stage: baking



1 Remove the bread pan from the appliance (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’ in the user

manual).

2 Assemble the kneading blades (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’ in the user manual).

3 Measure and put the ingredients in the bread pan (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’ in the

user manual).

4 Put the bread pan back in the breadmaker (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’ in the user

manual).

5 Plug in the breadmaker.

6 Press the program selector and select program 13 or 14.

7 If desired, press the crust colour selector one or more times to select the appropriate crust

colour.

For programs 13 and 14, the preset crust colour is medium.

8 Press the start/stop/cancel button to start the dough kneading cycle, which is followed by the

rising cycle.

9 When the rst stage of the program is nished, the appliance goes into standby.

8

, The appliance beeps to tell you that the kneading and rising of the dough is nished.

Note: The two cycles (kneading and rising of the dough) take place automatically and last 1 hour and 21

minutes, i.e. 26 minutes of kneading followed 55 minutes of rising.

Note: It is normal for the dough not to be evenly blended during kneading.

When the rst stage of the program is nished, the dough must be baked within one hour. After

one hour, the appliance resets itself and the Multi Bread Shaper program is lost.

The breadmaker comes with a baking rack specially intended for Multi Bread Shaper recipes 

(programs 13 and 14). The baking rack comes with two baking trays. With the two long separators 

and the four short separators you can divide the baking trays to bake baguettes, rolls, buns or free-

shape bread. 

1 To bake two long baguettes or other breads, place the long separator in the baking tray. Press

the separator down to x it.

2 To bake short baguettes or other short breads, place two short separators across the baking

tray and push them into place.

3 To bake rolls or buns, rst place the long separator and then t the slots in the short

separators into the slots in the long separator.

4 To bake free-shape bread, leave out all separators.



For these recipes you need the baking rack, the baking trays, the separators for the baking trays, the 

slitter and the brush.

This recipe makes 4 baguettes of 100g each.

The required crust colour setting is medium.

Ingredients:

 - 170 ml water

 - 1tsp salt

 - 280g bread our

 - 1tsp dry yeast 

Note: To give your baguettes a springier texture, add 1 tbsp oil to the ingredients. If you want to give the

4 baguettes more colour, add 2 tsp sugar to the ingredients.

To shape the baguettes:

1 Sprinkle some our on the work surface.

2 Remove the bread pan from the appliance and take the dough out of the bread pan.

3 Roll the dough into a ball and divide the ball into four lumps with a knife (Fig. 1).

 9

Note: Make sure the lumps have the same weight.

Tip: To make the baguettes lighter and more airy, leave the dough balls to rest for 5 minutes before you

shape them.

4 Flatten each dough lump on the oured work surface with the palm of your hand or by

gently rolling it with a rolling pin (Fig. 2).

5 Grasp the long side of the sheet of dough and fold it inwards. Then grasp the other long side

of the sheet and fold it inwards on top of the folded-in side (Fig. 3).

6 Push your ngers into the centre of the folded dough across its entire length to create a long

cavity (Fig. 4).

7 Close the cavity by pulling the front half of the dough up and across the cavity and place it on

top of the other half of the dough. Then seal the seam (Fig. 5).

8 Put the dough on the work surface with the seam pointing down and roll it back and forth

with your hands. Start in the centre and move your hands outwards along the length of the

dough while rolling it in order to stretch it to the desired length. (Fig. 6)

9 Roll the dough with your hands without pressing too much to get a regular shape. The

thickness and width of the dough must remain even.

Note: The dough must have the same length as the baking tray (approx. 18cm).

Tip: To vary the avour of the baguettes, you can add ingredients such as sesame or poppy seeds during

this stage.

10 Assemble the long separators in the two baking trays and place the dough shapes in

each section of the baking trays (Fig. 7).

11 For optimal results, make diagonal 1cm long slits in the top of the shaped dough with the

slitter supplied or with a serrated knife (Fig. 8).

Note: Make sure the slits are not more than 1cm deep and 2cm apart (Fig. 9).

12 Use the brush to dampen the top of the dough shapes with water (Fig. 10).

Note: Make sure no water is left behind in the baking tray.

13 Put the baking rack with the baking trays in the breadmaker.

14 Press the stop/start/cancel button to start the baking cycle.

15 Unplug the appliance at the end of the baking cycle.

16 Lift the baking rack out of the appliance (Fig. 11).

Be careful, the baking rack, the baking trays and the breads are hot.

17 Take the baguettes from the baking trays and leave them to cool on a wire cooling

rack (Fig. 12).

This chapter describes a number of ingredients and tools used for baking bread. Each ingredient has 

a special purpose. It is important to purchase high-quality ingredients and use them in the exact

amounts specied in the recipes. While some ingredients are interchangeable, others will produce 

poor results in bread.



White our contains enough protein (gluten) to give a lot of volume and texture to bread. It is 

gluten that forms the cell wall structure, traps and holds the air bubbles and allows the bread to rise. 

Most our is bleached. This does not affect the baking performance or the shelf life.



Wholewheat our is a coarsely ground type of our milled from the entire wheat kernel - brand, 

germ and endosperm. The brand and germ provide the brown colour and nutty avour while 

increasing bre. Baking with wholewheat our results in shorter, denser loaves. 



Rye our is made by nely grinding rye kernels. Only ours made from wheat and rye contain 

gluten-forming proteins. The gluten in rye our is not very elastic, therefore rye our must be used 

in combination with wheat our.



Cereals, grains and seeds provide variety in texture, avour and appearance of breads. They increase 

bre content. Three, ve, seven or twelve-grain cereals can be substituted in a recipe for any multi-

grain cereal. Cracked wheat is the wholewheat kernel that is cracked into particles of different sizes 

from coarse to ne. Bulgur is the wheat kernel with the bran removed, which is steamed, dried and 

ground. Natural bran, both wheat and oats, cuts the gluten strands. Therefore do not use more bran 

than is stated in the recipe.



Gluten is present in many cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, etc. Gluten-free bread is to be 

made exclusively from gluten-free our or gluten-free bread mixes.



Semolina, a creamy yellow coarsely ground our milled from hard durum wheat, is high in protein. It 

is used to make fresh pasta. Pasta dough made of semolina is easier to knead and holds its shape 

better during baking than pasta dough made with all-purpose our. You can replace part of the all-

purpose or wholewheat our by semolina. 



Fats tenderise, add avour and extend shelf life of bread by retaining moisture. Shortening, 

margarine, butter or oil can be interchanged in recipes. Loaves baked with these fats will vary slightly. 

Avoid low-calorie soft margarine as the higher water content can greatly affect loaf size and texture.



Salt controls the action of the yeast and adds avour. Never omit salt from the dough. The amounts 

used are small but necessary. Without salt, the bread may overrise or collapse.



Sugars provide food for the yeast as well as sweetness for the loaf and colour for the crust. Unless 

indicated in the recipe, use granulated white sugar. Honey, brown sugar and molasses give bread a 

unique avour and colour. Substituting one for the other may affect the nal result. 

Aspartame-based (not saccharin-based) granular sugar substitutes can be used. Substitute equal 

amounts for sugar in the recipe.



Liquids blend with the our to produce an elastic dough. Milk gives a tender texture while water 

results in a crisper crust. Skimmed milk powder and buttermilk powder increase the nutritional value 

while softening the texture. There is no need to reconstitute skimmed milk powder or buttermilk 

18

powder. The use of these powders increases the number of recipes that may be used in 

combination with the timer function. Do not use the timer function for recipes that require fresh 

milk. Buttermilk powder tends to blend better when added after the our. 

If you use milk instead of water and milk powder, use the same amount as the water. Homogenised, 

2%, 1% or skimmed milk can be used in recipes that require milk. Unsweetened fruit and vegetable 

juices can be used in amounts stated in the recipes. Read the labels of these juices to make sure 

they do not contain added salt, sugar or sweeteners.

Eggs add colour, richness and avour. Always use large-size eggs fresh from the refrigerator. Do not 

use the timer function for recipes that require fresh eggs.



Do not press cheese into the measuring spoon when you measure it. Low-fat cheeses may affect



Yeast, a tiny single-celled living organism, feeds on the carbohydrates in our and sugar to produce 

carbon dioxide gas that makes bread rise. Mixed with water and sugar, yeast wakes up during the 

kneading process and lls the dough with tiny bubbles that make it rise. Initial baking causes the 

dough to rise higher until the yeast is inactivated. Exposure to air, heat and humidity decreases yeast 

activity. Always use yeast before the expiry date. After opening, store yeast in the refrigerator in its 

original container, and use it within 6-8 weeks. There are 3 types of yeast available - active dry, 

instant, and breadmaker yeast. Breadmaker yeast is a particularly active strain of yeast with increased 

levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It was developed specically for use in breadmakers. To substitute 

active dry yeast or instant yeast for breadmaker yeast, increase the amount stated in the recipe by 

¼ teaspoon. For the best results, use the type of yeast specied in the recipe. Heat kills yeast. When 

you prepare llings, it is important that you let ingredients such as melted butter cool down before 

you use them. Keep yeast away from liquids, fats and salt as they slow the activity. Do not increase 

the amount of yeast stated in the recipe. 

Cinnamon and garlic both inhibit rising. If you use these ingredients, add them at the corner of

the bread pan to make sure they do not touch the yeast.

Bread mixes are available in many stores. Bread mix already includes our, salt, sugar and yeast in the 

right amounts, so it is convenient to use. It also comes in many different avours and varieties.  In 

most cases you just have to put water or milk and butter or oil in the bread pan as indicated in the 

instructions on the bread mix package, and then add the bread mix.

Perfect loaves depend on the correct amount of each ingredient. Therefore it is important that you 

measure ingredients correctly. Even 1 or 2 incorrectly measured tablespoons (either to much or too 

little) make a big difference for the end result. Never measure ingredients over the bread pan, as you 

may spill excess ingredients into the bread pan.

Tip: When you have to add e.g. 280ml water, add 1 cup (250ml)of water using the measuring cup and

then add 2tbsp (30ml) of water using the measuring spoon.

Store our in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposed to heat or moisture, our loses its 

strength and ability to rise. Flour absorbs avours quickly, so store it away from onions or garlic. 

 19

Store bread, sealed tightly in a plastic bag or other airtight container, at room temperature for 1 to 2
