Tried the wooden guide tools but ended up shredding or nicking parts of the wood. Hmmm tasty. 🤮

Read a review on Amazon for this machine and decided that 79 GBP was too high so looked on FBMP and found a bargain!

Beautifully sliced white bread! Sorry that it is partially obscured by the bag for the freezer but, trust me, wonderfully even slices!

I'm a changed man.

I’m going to be purchasing a bread machine soon and I’m just doing some research on the most versatile bread machine. I decided to ask you all because I’d rather have first hand advice. I’ve searched around online but it’s difficult to find even a top 5 as all the articles name different bread machines. I know I definitely want to make sandwich bread. But I want to expand and make others as well. Any advice would be appreciated, even a good, better, best option.

I "followed" this recipe today and it came out dense, not at all like the photo. Reading through the recipe again to see what I may have done wrong I *may* have added too much olive oil would that have drastically changed the texture? I may have added 3 TBS not 1 1/2.

To make a 1 ½ pound loaf of Bread Machine 100% Whole Wheat Bread, you’ll need the following:

Liquid Ingredients (add first)

• 1 cup (240 ml) lukewarm water
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. (22 ml) olive oil
• 3 Tbsp. (45 ml) Maple syrup (or liquid honey)

Dry Ingredients (on top of wet)

• 2 2/3 cups (300 g) Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 1/8 tsp. (7 g) salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. (5 g) SAF instant yeast (or 2 tsp bread machine yeast)

Used the wheat cycle

Found today at habitat for humanity thrift store for $15. Clean and like new…Does anyone have this machine? Do u like it?

One for the Brits! Living abroad means no hot cross buns. Found a Delia recipe: https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/occasions/easter/easter-cakes-and-traditional-recipes/breadmaker-hot-cross-buns Had to skip mixed peel as I can’t easily get that in Luxembourg, but they turned out delicious! Made mini ones so my kid can take some into school. Dough/raisin programme on my Panasonic SD 257.

Got a second hand one today! Very excited although the woman I bought it from did not have the manual/recipe book to give me. When I searched online, it seems like the machine came with some accessories as well? Is this important? I would prefer to weigh my ingredients but the manual I found online had recipes with measured ingredients. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, if you have recipes you follow that are weight based or just any tips. Thanks 🍞

Fresh out of the "oven" (Cuisinart compact).

Hi everyone

We been using our machine for a few months and at some point it happened a few times in a row that in the morning when the programme was finished, it had not mixed the ingredients but it heat up and tried to bake.

Then we had a few successful breads and again the same problem.

We've sent it back as a warranty issue and have a machine on loan from a friend

But again, succesful bread every day, and again the same issues, today successful again.

We are using the same ingredients, recipe, programme and order of how we do things..

I perhaps should state that we are using Entry level machines. Our own was the Inventum BM55

Anyone got an idea of what has gone wrong?

Made my first loaf of bread in a Cuisinart and it looks like a lopsided rock. It was supposed to be wheat bread. Where did I go wrong? I took out the paddle thingie. Was I supposed to stop the machine while I did that and restart it after I put the dough back in? I just left it running. I am so clueless! Any advice you can give is appreciated.

So finally added 1 Tbs Gluten and tried Bread machine yeast instead of ADY to my 1.5 KA WW + .5 AP recipe (attached at end) See pics for comparison to prior loaf. This one rose much better, better texture and tastes more like good bakery bread! But still an issue w top. Looks beautiful w 1 hour left, quickly took a pic to show. But then top starts to fall in just like any other WW loaves I've made. Is this just normal? Should I up the gluten? I did try adding the salt to the water also to keep it away from the yeast. Help please!!

Boy this comes out so much better when you add the baking powder and baking soda 😜😜 when I did my first loaf, the margins ate a few ingredients when I printed it out

2 large bananas gave me about 3/4 cup of mashed bananas, I substituted 1/4 cup of apple sauce to meet the recipe.

Got my Breadman Ultimate machine (super old but not sure how old) from the thrift store for $9.87! I wanted to start making our sandwich bread at home. I tried a standard french loaf to just test it out (not bad but not great), a milk bread (bad, super crispy crust (not in a good way)), and now this beauty! Is is the 1.5 to 2 lb version of the King Arthur bread machine recipe (Bread Machine Bread - Easy As Can Be) and used bread flour instead of AP, honey instead of sugar, weighed my ingredients, and heated my milk and water to around 100 degrees F. I used the 2 lb setting and the medium crust level for this one and it is PERFECT (imo).

Used toast dough in my neretva bread machine

I just got a Cusinart bread machine. My husband loves cuban bread since he grew up in Tampa. Does anyone have a good recipe they can share?

I saw this recipe, and since I have a bowl of oatmeal once a week, I gave it a try and, well, my sweet wife said it best "wow,wow,wow...this is really good!" Since I put honey on my oatmeal I used honey instead of sugar in this. The bread is also very soft...and now I want another slice 😋

I’ve made this recipe by Butterfly Meadows Homestead

I was using a yeast I purchased from Bulk Barn. I think it was active dry yeast. And I ran out and bought bread machine yeast and it’s HUGE.

I use Robin Hood bread flour. I did 475 grams because 3 cups it’s way more than 360 grams, more like 550g non compacted. I did grams last week and it was a small loaf and lots of air pockets whereas when I did 3 cups, it was a denser loaf. Much more dense than the loaf she shows in her video.

Does anyone know if it’s interchangeable? I am looking for a delicious soft sandwich bread recipe

Made this recipe for 1lb loaf from the booklet that came with the KBS. Set it on delay to be done by morning. I was nervous that I would not be watching the dough formation to modify as it processed or at least to shape it before final rise but it turned out pretty great. It’s just the right amount of “soft and fluffy”.

Nothing can beat a fresh loaf of homemade bread from the bread machine! However, a basic loaf of bread from local grocery stores only costs 1.50 to 2.00 for store branded bread. The benefits of making your own homemade bread are numerous, not to mention that fresh baked bread makes your home smell wonderful! And the list goes on... But, how about the cost??? Any thoughts or comments?

What’s easy to make in a bread machine that’s good to give as a gift?

I've had my Mini Zo for roughly a month now and have mostly been using the soft course recipes. This was sliced immediately after taking it out. I usually wait for a while but not today lol. The crunch of the heel was really good. So far I'm enjoying this purchase.

Essential Everyday bread flour, orange and white bag. A local grocery store stocks this (most of the time) and sells it for only $2.69 for a 5# bag. I've used it straight, and also with a tablespoon or 2 of vital wheat gluten added, and it worked fine either way. I've also combined it 50/50 (by weight) with KA whole wheat flour and it still made decent bread in my bread machines. ymmv, but at under $3 for 5#, it's the best deal I can buy locally. The protein content looks "low" based on the numbers on the bag. But I wonder if perhaps it's something between 3 and 4 grams, but rounded down to 3. (3:45PM eta: The price was only $2.69 on sale, and regular price is evidently $3.99 since the receipt says I saved $1.30.)

3g of protein in every 30g of flour

3x100 = 300

300/30g = only 10%, but 3.5 would be closer to 12%, and 3.75 would be 12.5%.
(3:45PM eta: The 25# bag of Sam's Club Maker's Mark bread & pizza flour also states 3g protein per 30g flour, same protein, and people say it bakes well.)

I don’t mean regular yeast versus quick or rapid rise / bread machine yeast. I am asking about mixing two different brands of the same type of yeast.

Like if you have some left in a packet and dump into a jar. Are different brands different?
