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!

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

Here's what we're having for Mother's Day My husband has a tradition of ordering dinner in for our family Mother's Day celebration after church. It's a nice break for all the mothers that doesn't require us to stand over a stove or in line at a restaurant. The party is at our house. Besides setting the table, my only job (self-appointed) is to make the desserts. Keep reading to see what's on the menu.

Part 2 of the series: Why People Add Too Much Flour to Bread Dough Today's topic is: The Dough Should Stick (a Little) The dough looks sticky… so you add flour. Then more flour. Before you know it, you've got something that looks like playdough or a rubber ball. Last time we talked about why judging dough too early leads to adding too much flour. Today let’s talk about what properly hydrated dough actually looks like. If you've ever made one of my bread recipes, you've probably read this:...

Part 1 of the series: Why People Add Too Much Flour to Bread Dough Most of the time, people don’t add flour because the dough needs it—they add it because the dough looks wrong to them. Each week, I’ll share one common reason this happens. Today’s topic is #1: Judging the Dough Too Early. If you open your bread machine in the first 10–12 minutes of the kneading cycle, the dough will usually look rough and sticky. That’s normal. The gluten hasn’t developed yet. In other words, it’s not...
