Bread Maker

A bread maker is a machine designed for making bread! It takes the hard work out of making bread. You don't have to worry about mixing the ingredients, kneading the dough, cooking for the correct time or at the right temperature. The bread maker does it for you!

Here I have listed some of the bread maker machines available. It's very easy to make bread using one of these machines. Just measure out the ingredients, put them into the bread pan in the correct order, close the lid, select the baking programme and choose light, medium and dark crust. Some bread makers have delayed timers giving you the luxury of freshly baked bread for breakfast. Mmmm! The bread maker does the kneading, rising and baking for you.

Each bread maker has a non stick removeable bread pan into which goes a kneading blade. The shape of the bread pan will affect the shape of your loaf. When buying a bread maker consider whether bread shape is important and decide on the size of loaves you want.

Some bread makers have speciality flour cycles for making wholemeal loaves and can also cater for particular dietry requirements e.g. gluten free, low salt, high fibre. Consider which features you need. You should also think about the size of your bread maker and where it's going to go on your kitchen top as some machines can be quite large.

Why bread making machines?

Bread makers are fast becoming the must have kitchen appliance. If you like, they are the 'in thing' (if a kitchen appliance can be 'in'!). People are once again waking up to the smell of home baked fresh bread. Aside from the lovely smell I expect many people are becoming more aware of the huge amount of rubbish that is put into our food these days. With your own bread maker machine you buy and put the individual ingredients in, so you know exactly what you're eating!

  • Experiment with different flours - most supermarkets now stock a wide variety.
  • If your bread doesn't turn out quite how you expect, persevere, as very small adjustments to the ingredients can affect your loaf. Too much water or not enough can make a big difference.
  • Fast or rapid bake modes don't always give the best results.
  • Store your bread in plastic bags to make it last longer.
  • Experiment with different bread maker recipes.
  • Invest in a book to get the most out of your machine. Click here for bread maker recipe books
