What bread maker is everyone using? (if you are)

I used to use Oster, now we have Rosewill. I use the normal bread setting, with light crust. Rosewill actually makes bread with a lighter crust, exactly as I like it.

I use a Hamilton Beach bread maker, it will even do cakes and jam. My bread rises well and is very tasty.

While there are bread makers for gluten free mixes, I don't own one. That said, I use my regular machine set on the dough cycle to mix and let the dough rise. I then transfer to a loaf pan and bake in my conventional oven according to the directions on the package. This works great for me!

I use an Oster model # CKSTBR9050.It has a gluten free baking option,which works wonderfully.

I do not own a bread-maker. I mix the bread ingredients by hand and have wonderful results.

Hi there. We have owned the Cuisinart for about a year. It has proven to be reliable and bakes great tasting bread.

Adam, I've had my machine for several years now and have just reached the point where I can whip out a couple loaves of French bread or 1 dozen French rolls so fast it's amazing. One of the secrets is to get the French bread pans they sell on here with the holes in them. There are 2 and 3 loaf pans available. I'm very comfortable with the 2 loaf pans. Here's the recipe I'm using currently for both loaves and rolls: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/French-Bread-Rolls-to-Die-For/Detail.aspx The recipe is so easy I could do it in my sleep. I don't bother getting bread flour. Do add the last two cups of flour a bit at a time and let the machine knead for 6 to 8 minutes. The rolls also make a very special hamburger roll if you top off with sesame seeds after doing the egg white glaze. Believe me when I tell you your friends and associates will be amazed at your bread baking skills. There are dozens of other great bread recipes available though the link and also on Recipezarr.com. Don't forget to order the bread pans. They really will make your baking much simpler and easy!

I just got my new breadmaker this week. For the second loaf I made, I used 100% whole wheat flour, no other type of flour at all. I used the recipe included in the Panasonic booklet that comes with the machine. The loaf turned out PERFECTLY! Very moist, tall, and delicious! I am going to love this new machine.P. S. I recommend King Arthur flour - I was amazed at the difference in my baked goods when I switched to King Arthur. I've become a faithful follower!

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

I'd be interested too! I've made two loaves of bread so far in my small Zojirushi (3 days old!) but both were kind of dense. If I make anything successfully, I'll post the recipe here. But if anyone has any to share, I'm definitely interested too.

I would stick with the one specifically mentioned for your model of bread maker. I have the older one and always buy the replacement pans and paddles for that model. The machine itself is over 10 years old now and still going strong. I bake a fresh bread every single day, sometimes two in a day. I buy a new pan and two sets of paddles about once a year.

I'm in Seattle, too. I used a smaller size transformer first couple of time. But it couldn't handle 5~6 hours of use so the bread maker stopped couple time in a short time.That result a poor finish of the bread. Then I decieded to bake a bread without the transformer. The machine made beautiful breads since then and I have no problem so far until today.I have used machine for about 4 months and it is working great...... so I think if your machine couldn't get started, there must be another issue?? This is a great bread maker, hope you can start to use it soon!!

I use it every day! Nice, easy and quick. Works best with Italian, French or and grinder bread. Not so much with sliced bread. I love this sandwich maker!!!

Believe or not, it is the bread machine that failed. I returned mine after 6 months of use and it was supposedly one of the best models out there. With me it was hit or miss. The bread would either turn well or really bad, even if the same steps were taken. A lot of it has to do with the temperature in the room. In the winter months the bread machine didn't work so well. We have switched to making our own bread in a dutch oven instead. Get yourself a copy of "My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method" by Jim Lahey.

i just received my breadmaker. everything worked great and the bread looked wonderful (ha). until it was time to remove the bread. you better be a rocket scientest. finally my husband came to my rescue, by the time he got the bread out, the paddles hole really made an awful mess.i am not a happy camper.the box went out with the trash, so here i am with this (big) machine to look at. and i do mean (big)hope this helps you. a friend of mine reccomended this breadmaker to me, i have had westbend products before so i though i was doing the right thing (wrong)

Never had a problem with this bread maker. We use to have fallen loafs with our old one so we modified the recipe using slightly less yeast. Good luck

The machine is great. I'll always stick by the Breadman name. My previous machine was a non-collapsable paddle with convection. Therefore it cooked much faster than this one. I would love to see this machine as a convection model. Other than that, it lives up to it's name. The recipe book that came with mine had a lot of typo's so I downloaded the book and made adjustments in my book when I thought there was an error.

Actually, I used a regular hand mixer and baked it in a regular loaf pan. I didn't use a stand mixer, nor the bread machine. I might try the bread machine the next time, but my way was easier. Turned out great! Did that answer your question?

I bought the West Bend bread maker. The default setting is perfect. I put the ingredients in, and push start. A couple of minutes into the cycle, I scrape the corners so that everything mixes well. 3 hours later, I have a perfect loaf. So easy!

I'm researching bread makers. One that I've seen does have two paddles because it can be set to make two loaves next to each other at the same time.I think it is a higher-end Breadman model, but it could be a Zojirushi, which is the other brand I'm looking seriously to buy. I've heard good things and bad things about two paddles. I don't think you need two to make gf bread.
