I am new to bread making how long does it take to make a loaf of bread usually? Do you have to watch it or can you put ingredients in and leave?

Regular white bread, french bread about 3.5 hrs. It is good to take the paddle out about two hours into the baking. There is signal beep but I have to say, I can't hear it so I just keep time on my watch when it should come out. There is a chart that gives you the times for each baking cycle. Also, the machine has a timer where you can put everything in at night and it will start baking in the morning or whenever you set it for. Good luck and God bless. I hope this helps.Nancy

Usually 3:15 to 3:30. Some cycles (whole wheat) may take longer if they have an extra rise cycle.

Takes about 3hrs & yes you can set it and leave it! However, your mixing paddle will still be in the loaf when you return home ! It leaves a good size hole if you take it out after its all cook!read page 9 / 10 in the booklet!

It depends what type of bread, size and type of crust you plan on making. It is usually around 2 hrs. You don't have to watch it. You can put your ingredients in and walk away. The Cuisinart CBK-200 has a delay start feature. So, you could even place your ingredients in at bedtime and wake up to freshly baked bread.

I have never made it by hand. I always use a bread machine. It is very good bread.

I use 5 minutes a day bread recipes, and I shape and proof my loves on the pans according to recipies and they come out perfect every time. I assume any recipe for your final proof will work. Just make sure you generously flour the pan.

Someone posted this on Walmart's Q&A about this DDO... A: Yes, this can be used to bake bread. There are many different recipes available, with many, many variations. Here is a basic home baked bread recipe: 1 1/4 cup warm water 1 package active dry yeast 2 tbsp soft shortening 2 tsp salt 2 tbsp sugar 3 cups sifted flower Pour warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water, stir until dissolved. Add shortening, salt, sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. Stir in remaining flour and beat with a spoon until smooth, 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape batter from the sides of the bowl. Cover dough with clean cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from draft until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. When batter has risen, stir down by beating about 25 strokes. Spread batter in a greased Dutch oven. Batter will be sticky. Let rise in warm place until batter reaches 1/4" from top of pot, about 40 min. Bake in oven at 375F for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. When done, brush top with butter while still hot. Posted By Lodge Product Expert

I use it all the time for breadmaking. One loaf at a time, that is three cups of flour and I use the metal chopper, adding water and butter slowly while it is going until I have the right amount of water. I let it run about a minute to knead it. I do eight loaves per batch. I have two machines. one at the cottage. Cleaning is a pain; use a toothbrush. I used to use two mixers but they just aren,t able to take the abuse

I have used it in the 5 minute a day recipe...worked great, keeps the bread fresh longer. Hope that helps. Good luck

having bought and made most every type of hodgson and other bread mixes as well as bread machine from amazon.com i can say the mix make 1.5 loaves. add 2 tablespoons of extra water if you find the dough is still in a ball after the first rise. just spoon the water over the dough. and set crust to light. joi

HI-- My bread came out like a normal loaf-- I did use regular eggs-- and I used whole eggs. I also added a 1/4 cup sugar away from the yeast. My Machine guidelines say to start with all wet ingredients on the bottom of the pan (make sure your water is warm enough) then add the dry ingredients with the yeast on the top on one side of the pan and I put the ¼ cup additional sugar on the other. I chose the darker crust option. My bread came out pretty good.

I make my bread in this baker about three times a week. It is amazing. I use a no knead recipe which is incredibly simple so that I can mix, rise and bake all in the container. I take the bread out for the final five minutes just to brown the top a tiny bit more. The toast I get from this recipe is lovely and crunchy, a great bonus. Getting back to the breadmaker, it is strong and durable and works!!

I use a bread machine and it makes 1 large loaf. I add a little sugar and honey, best is it is sliced and freeze 1/2loaf for later.

I don't even have a bread machine and mix the whole recipe by hand. It turns out just fine. I do, however, mix the yeast in the warm water and add a teaspoon of sugar (yeast grows better in sugar water). The bread made with this mix is our favorite and has always turned out just great. For a bread machine, use the whole bag and follow the recipe. I do cover the top with foil in the last 20 minutes or so. Note: I always mix the wet ingredients together first, add half the bread mix, stir together, then add the rest of the mix and stir it together.

I use my own recipe and it comes out splendid. 3 and 1/2 cups of King Arthur bread flour, 1/4 of a teaspoon yeast (any kind), 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 3/4 cups of water, salt 1 teaspoon. Mix by hand or mixer until all ingredients are roughly mixed. The dough will be sticky. Cover bowl with towel or Saran Wrap. Let it sit overnight at room temperature. In the morning punch down dough. It will be VERY sticky. Put dough on a floured flat surface, fold it 4 times with a "baker spatula" (flat metal spatula about 5" by 7"). Do not add too much flour. Just enough to prevent the dough to stick. Dough will be VERY soft. Line a bowl with Parchment paper (not wax paper) let it rise for about one hour. The dough will NOT double in size. In the mean time put cloche in the oven. Light the oven and let it reach 450. When it reached that temperature, remove top of the cloche, lift parchment paper (with dough inside) by grabbing it by it's four corners. Drop it gently in the cloche, cover it and bake it covered for 35 minutes. Lower temperature to 425 and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let it cool on the rack. The bread will be "singing". You may find similar recipes on utube under no mix dough. It's really easy too make, but remember dough must be very very soft.

That really depends on the type of bread you put in and how brown you want. Standard white toast bread might take two minutes or so and denser bread will take longer. Temperature of the bread before toasting will also change toasting time with just out of the fridge bread taking longer than out of the bread-box bread. Overall very quick, efficient and gives a nice soft chime when it is done. There is even a "Lift and Look" setting as well as "A Little Bit More" button. Great Toaster, looks good and we are very happy with our purchase.

For best results use a different pan, I returned all 3 of mine there to small and stick to much, next do a 3 rise cycle with the last cycle in the pan. 40 min first rise in warm area, work the air out of dough and then 20 min rise cycle, work the air out then place in pan and 40 min rise, place in preheated oven @ 350deg for 40 min. Don't expect to get more than a 16 once loaf without major mushrooming.

the secret is sugar. whatever i make, i always add one table spoon of sugar. sugar helps yeast growing. and you can also start with the dough cycle, then keep it in the machine for several hour, then just use the bake cycle. that way the bread will have more time to grow. shouldn't be too hard.

I did not. I just opened the box, took out the machine, wiped out the bread pan with a damp cloth and then dried it. Then I add all the ingredients for my first loaf and it was fantastic!

Hi,put in a teaspoon of vegetable oil, a drinking glass of warm water, 4 cups of flower (I use 2 cups bread flower, and 2 cups whole wheat flower for German type coarse bread, use 4 cups bread flower for white bread). Add one tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons dry milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Bake 3.5 hrs.Machine should form a dry soft ball. If too liquid, add a little of flower. If machine has to labor hard, and you hear a grinding type noise, the dough is too dry and add a little warm water. Using this for > 10 years, always bakes a great loaf.
