Bread Recipe With Bread Machine

Bread machine recipes can be hard to find, as bread makers were most popular before the internet became a thing. Don’t worry, I’ve collected plenty of bread maker recipes to keep your machine working all year long.

Bread machines were invented in the ’90s, and they were incredibly popular at the time. My dad gave my mom one for Christmas with a hopeful glint in his eye, as she’d never baked in her life…and he was hoping she’d start.

It worked! And I still remember sitting there by the bread machine in the ’90s, waiting for the timer to ding on her unbeatable bread machine potato bread.

As more and more people experiment with home baking, they’re seeing a resurgence in popularity, and 2020 actually saw a shortage of bread machines. People put in pre-orders for machines to be delivered 6 months or more in the future.

The problem is, since bread machines were incredibly popular before the internet became a part of our daily lives, it can be tricky to find bread machine recipes online.

I’ve collected more than 100 delicious bread machine recipes for you, everything from everyday loaf bread to celebration sweetbreads, pizza, and even bagels.

The term “quick bread” just means any bread leavened with baking soda (or powder) instead of yeast. There’s no rise time, and the bread just mixes and bakes.
