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

two pieces of Browned Butter Pecan Pie

On Thanksgiving, I'm a pie person. For that one day, or however long it takes to eat the leftovers or throw them away, I'm going to enjoy treating myself. If you have designs on making a pie in the next couple of weeks, check out my collection of pie recipes, especially my Brown Butter Pecan Pie. It is rich, of course. But there's something about the brown butter that elevates the pecans instead of letting the sweetness steal the show. Add a drizzle of chocolate for maximum decadence, or skip...

bread machine Tangzhong dinner rolls.

Are you thinking about your Thanksgiving meal yet? My daughter-in-law has already sent the whole family beautiful invitations to Thanksgiving at her house. Wow! That is the definition of planning ahead. I love her for that...and also for hosting this year. 🤗 A question I hear often before Thanksgiving: Can I substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour and vice versa when making bread? Consider the texture you are going for in the final product. Bread flour makes a chewier texture....
