Warm Water: When making bread it’s best to have all ingredients at room temperature to start. The water should be a bit above that, at 110°F/45°C, in order to activate the yeast.

You Can Sift the Flour: Sifting flour before making bread with it helps to aerate it, and will make a fluffier, less dense bread. It’s not necessary for success, but is an option.

Learn Your Machine: Just like Air Fryers and Instant Pots, bread machines will have differences from brand to brand and model to model. The good news is that most of the household bread makers work in generally the same way, but if you are having trouble with your machine, feel free to reach out, or search out others using that specific machine on the web.

The manufacturer’s instructions will tell you to add the liquids first, then the dry ingredients. The instant yeast always goes in last. This ensures that the yeast is separated from the liquids until the kneading begins, and is an important step to follow.

A good rule of thumb is that a bread machine recipe that uses approximately 3 cups of flour will make a 1.5pound loaf, and one with around 4 cups of flour will make a 2 pound loaf.

Choose Rapidrise yeast, Instant yeast, or Bread Machine yeast. According to Fleishmann’s Yeast’s website , the three are exactly the same, just sold under different names. Active Dry yeast is different from the others, and not recommended for bread machine recipes.

A bread machine is basically a small countertop oven that can also mix and knead ingredients and time the breadmaking process. The pan that the bread bakes in also contains a paddle, so that the bread can be mixed and baked in the same vessel. Electronic controls allow you to set the machine to knead, rest, and proof the dough. It’s a simple machine, but a very smart and time-saving appliance.

Basic White Bread

Have you tried the first white bread recipe listed in the manual printed by your bread machine manufacturer? Did you make it from beginning to end with the one-and-done button? If you weren’t thrilled with the results, I have an alternative.

Was it nicely domed or misshapen and ugly? Was the crust browned or much lighter on top than the rest of the bread? Who wants to give an ugly loaf to his neighbor or friend?

How was the inside of your bread? Was the crumb organized or verging on crumbly? Was it light and fluffy on top but dense on the bottom?

Are you open to a different way of using your bread machine other than start-to-finish with the push of one button? If so, I can show you how to use a bread maker to make fabulous bread.

A bread machine is one of the best kneaders in town. Plus, you get a timer with it. So you can throw the carefully-measured ingredients into the bread machine, turn it on, and let it do the work while you start your next project.

You’ll want to open the lid and check the dough a time or two to ensure it’s not too dry or wet. Otherwise, you can leave it alone for an hour and a half (varies with different machines), and when you return, the dough should be ready to shape.

Basic Homemade Bread Recipe

One of the secrets to producing fabulous bread with a bread machine is to use the DOUGH cycle only. That means you will let the machine mix and knead the dough (great for people who find it painful to manipulate it with your hands). Then you will shape the dough with your hands, let it go through one more rise, and bake it in your conventional oven.

Does it sound like a lot of work? It may take a few extra minutes, depending on your experience. But it’s worth it.

Making great bread is not as easy as pushing one button on a bread machine, as many people hope. However, with a little extra attention and experience, you can use a bread machine to produce a loaf you will be proud to share and excited to eat.

1) Place all dough ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed in the recipe. (You do not need to grease the pan since you won’t be baking the bread in the machine.) Select the DOUGH cycle, then press START.

2) Lift the lid and peek within the first minute of the kneading phase to ensure the paddles are engaged, and the dough is clumping.

3) About 15 minutes after the kneading phase starts (you can hear and see it), open the lid or look through the window if you can see anything. The dough should look like a smooth but tacky ball that sticks to the side, then pulls away cleanly.

A) If the dough looks like a thick pancake batter (possible measuring error) or there is a layer of wet dough underneath the paddles, add a tablespoon of flour and wait a
