Can I Bake This Recipe in My Bread Machine?

People often ask if they can make my recipes entirely in a bread machine.

In other words, they want to mix and bake the bread in a bread machine instead of my preferred method of using the DOUGH cycle and baking in a conventional oven.

My answer: You are welcome to try, but I can't guarantee anything. Even if I tested every recipe this way in my machine, the results would likely differ from yours. Here's why:

  • Bread machines vary in timing, temperature, pan sizes, and configurations.
  • Your home’s temperature and humidity will most likely differ from mine. These factors can make a huge difference.
  • The ingredients available to me are probably not formulated exactly like yours: flour, milk, milk powder, eggs, yeast, etc. Different brands and geographical locations offer varying characteristics that can affect the recipe's outcome.
  • Experience with reading the dough and making adjustments during the process is key.

These factors can make the results somewhat unpredictable. While a specific recipe might work for you, it’s not guaranteed for others. If that's what you want, I encourage you to try it. It's the only way to know for sure.

Here is my favorite white bread loaf. I don't bake it in my machine, but it works for some people. (See the testimonial below.)

​Exceptional Condensed Milk Bread​

This Exceptional Condensed Milk Bread is mixed and kneaded in a bread machine, shaped by hand, and baked in a conventional oven. Its velvety-soft, close texture will remind you of brioche. It makes the BEST peanut butter and jelly sandwich you will ever eat!

Condensed Milk Bread

Really like this recipe – it has never failed me yet! Such a soft and easy to slice loaf which is great for sandwiches and toast.
I have also made it entirely in my Panasonic SD-2500 on menu 2 with success when I don’t have much time. (I live in England UK and really appreciate how your recipes do the conversions to metric for me.)--MARGARET

Blessings,

Paula

Soft Serve Yogurt Creami

Thankfully, Greek yogurt is good for most people. To my yogurt-loving friends, Confession time: I’ve been eating these homemade frozen yogurt treats almost every day for the past three years—yes, even in the winter. They’re made with Greek yogurt (homemade, in my case), milk (dairy or non-dairy), and just a few mix-ins. Then they’re spun into something creamy and scoopable using a small machine called the Ninja Creami. It’s not your average ice cream maker—this one blends the yogurt after...

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak--in white serving dish; ready-to-serve

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review. As I researched, I quickly realized that my needs might not be...
