250 Best American Bread Machine Baking Recipes

Updated Oct-2024 I purchased a double paddle Zojirushi bread maker that warms all the ingredients before it starts. Game changer! If possible weigh your flour and don’t cook on hot days. This is still my go to bread making book. Pasta too. Former review: Bought a used bread maker from a thrift for $20. With no idea what I’m doing before reading, I have randomly picked over 10 different recipes and YUMMY. All turned out very well as the directions and tips guided this newbie. No more boring bread. Comes out flavorful, soft, and can’t wait to try them all! My family has a new interest in sandwiches, I know what we are eating, and what a savings!

This book has become my bread machine "bible." I live in Colorado and constantly had difficulty with other recipes, particularly with trying to make high altitude adjustments. Not only are the recipes in this book wonderfully tasty, but rarely have I had to make any high altitude ajustments. Every recipe I've tried has come out great, both in appearance and texture. The recipes range from basic breads with few ingredients to some pretty unique combinations. My favorites are the cinnamon apple oat bran and the scandinavian rye made with beer and spices that surpasses even the wonderful Limpa my swedish grandmother baked. There's also a terrific general information section in the beginning of the book with lots of great tips for producing the perfect loaf.

Every recipe I've tried is absolutely delicious!! The tips are extremely helpful. I haven't found anything I don't like about this book. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in using a bread machine to bake breads.

This is by far the best and easiest bread book ever written. I am writing this right now, with the Asiago Herb Loaf recipe just finishing its baking cycle, and my entire home smells incredibly delicious! Whenever I make a bread from this book, I can hardly wait for the machine to finish to taste the end product. My kids also love this book, ages 2 and 5, we make bread in the machine regularly together, with them helping measure and add ingredients into the chamber, helping us find a new, fun, way to spend time together. I've tried recipes from all sections, and although there are some that require a bit more work than I am used to, e.g., rolling or shaping, this book is an all around wonderful book for any family with a bread machine!

This book is chock full of good recipes. It is by far the best bread machine baking book that I have run across. I use it daily.
