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

Blessings,

Paula

Whether you are making a gift list for yourself or someone else, here are two things I think every baker or cook should have and use in their kitchen. DIGITAL SCALE: The fastest way to cook and bake more consistently—especially with flour. Weighing in grams removes guesswork and keeps recipes repeatable. Look for a scale with a tare button, 1-gram (or 0.1-oz) resolution, and an easy-to-read display. Set your mixing bowl on the scale and start dumping--no measuring cups required. I like the...

Sliced 50/50 whole wheat French bread on a cutting board, with butter on the side.

Have you tried my popular bread machine recipe, "Bread Machine French Bread"? It may not be authentic French bread, but it's an easy and delicious recipe for beginners that usually turns out great. Recently, one of my readers requested a whole wheat version. It's not quite as "fool-proof" because whole wheat has a different personality and needs a little extra care. When you try this recipe keep these tips in mind. A Few Handy Tips for Baking with Whole Wheat Flour White vs. Red. White whole...

Sliced Pumpkin Brioche Twiston a cutting board

Fall Recipes I Can't Wait to Make What kind of recipe do you like to make when the weather starts to turn cool? My sister always reports when she makes her first bowl of soup in autumn so we can compare. Maybe it's pumpkin-something at your house, winter squash, or apples. I've gathered a few of my favorites that taste best wearing a sweatshirt. (Sorry if I'm a bit late with this--it's still reaching into the high 80's here in Texas, so the mood is slow to hit me.)
