From the Manufacturer

What Makes the Home Bakery Supreme Special?

Bread made in Zojirushi’s Home Bakery Supreme appeals to all your senses. The horizontal shape makes it look like an oven-baked loaf, and the crust control function allows you to select light, medium, or dark crust. The two kneading blades knead the ingredients more thoroughly to make it taste better, and waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread has never been easier with the timer function. You can also prepare the dough in the Home Bakery Supreme and shape it yourself to bake in the oven. The loaf of bread you bake at home should look like a regular loaf of bread. Unlike other bread makers that produce vertical loaves, Zojirushi’s Home Bakery Supreme bakes a large traditional-shaped 2-pound loaf, so the bread comes out the way it should, horizontally, and doesn’t have to be sliced on its side. The Home Bakery Supreme makes it easy to prepare and enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked all-natural breads in the convenience of your own home. Never again will you need to wonder if that store-bought loaf contains preservatives or additives.

For Beginners and Experts

Not only is the Home Bakery Supreme an excellent breadmaker for beginning bakers, it’s also a useful tool for expert bakers. Because it controls the temperature while the dough is rising, it takes the guesswork out of the leavening process. Additionally, the two kneading blades and the enclosed temperature-controlled environment knead the yeast dough better than any other method. Whether you’re baking in the scorching sun or during a blizzard, the Home Bakery Supreme will give you consistent results. All the bread cycles on the Home Bakery Supreme automatically preheat the ingredients to bring them to room temperature. However, if you find it unnecessary, you have the “Preheat Off” option to save time and immediately begin the kneading process.

Two Are Better than One

The Home Bakery Supreme features two kneading blades instead of one to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly kneaded. Additionally, the two blades knead yeast dough better than any other method. Not only does thorough kneading make the bread taste better, but it also prevents unsightly flour on the side of the bread.

A Host of Amazing Features

• Recipes
  Not only does the Home Bakery Supreme come with an instruction video, it also comes with lots of recipes. The recipes range from basic white bread to raisin bread, whole wheat and fat-free bread, pizza, pretzels, cinnamon-raisin rolls, strawberry jam, chocolate cake, sourdough bread, and Zojirushi’s original Meatloaf Miracle. More recipes are available at Zojirushi’s Web site at www.zojirushi.com.

• Easy Gluten-Free Baking
  If you are allergic to gluten, you can make gluten-free bread in the Home Bakery Supreme. No more rock-hard gluten-free bread bought at the store. Experiment to create your own new recipes.

• Some Like It Sour
  Sourdough starter is a form of the original “leaven” for bread. Traditional sourdough starter usually takes 7 to 10 days to prepare, but the Home Bakery Supreme comes with a Sourdough Starter cycle that prepares light sourdough starter in 2 hours

• Large Viewing Window
  The large viewing window allows you to watch the kneading, rising, and baking processes, so you can make adjustments if you find it necessary. If you need a better look, lifting the lid to peek won’t stop the kneading or baking operation. Just be sure to close the lid when you are done looking.

• Wake Up to the Smell of Freshly Baked Bread
  It has never been easier with the 13-hour programmable timer. Just add the ingredients and set the timer before going to bed, and by the time that alarm clock sounds, you will smell the bread waiting for you. If you hit snooze, don’t worry. The Home Bakery Supreme also has a Keep Warm feature to keep that bread warm up to an hour after baking.

• Beat the Clock
  In a hurry? Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked bread in just 2 hours with the Quick Bake cycle.

• More than Just Bread
  The Home Bakery Supreme can do more than just bake bread. It has a cycle for jam, cake, and sourdough starter. It also works as a portable oven, so you can make other dishes such as meatloaf or lasagna without heating up your larger oven.

• Easy Creativity
  If you like being creative, you will love the Home Bakery Supreme. The Home Made Menu function allows you to adjust each cycle to your preference and remember it, so you can make that perfect bread. If not bread, cake. Or meatloaf. Or anything you wish. Invent your own original recipes and see what you can make in the Home Bakery Supreme. With the three memory settings in the Home Made Menu setting, you have plenty of space for many of your favorites.

Best Waffle Maker

I get many unique questions from people who know I am in the bread maker review business.  The one I find the most annoying is when people ask for free breadmakers.  What makes it more bothersome is the frequency with which I get the request.  Must have something to do with the economy.

I also get a number of questions about other product lines and I find some of them humorous.  Like just the other day, some asked me, ” What is the best waffle maker or best waffle iron?”  I am not sure it struck me as funny as if there was some relationship between the best bread maker and the best waffle maker.

Unfortunately, I have not reviewed an waffle irons or waffle makers.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love waffles.  My personal preference is the thinner ones with many  divots rather than the thick ones with the deep divots.

From my understanding, waffle maker all pretty much do the same thing once you get the divot thing resolved.  I guess the only other issue is whether or not you like square or round waffles.  For me it is square, but I will just as happily eat a round one.

I have never been one for adding anything but butter and syrup on my waffles.  Growing up my mom used to make chicken and gravy over waffles, non thanks.  I have tried waffle sundaes, no thanks again.  Fruit or Jam on my waffles- Not for this guy.

So probably due to my lack of variety in my waffle likings, waffle makers have never come up on my review list, and I do not foresee it any time in the near future.  For now I am content searching and discovering what is the best bread maker in various situations.

However, if you cam hear looking for a good breadmaker, below is one that was recommended to me:

Best Bread Recipes

Figuring out what are the best bread recipes is nothing like figuring out was is the best bread maker.  It is kind of like asking what is the best wine, or what is the best car.  Everyone has their own preferences, and many of them have nothing to do with concrete measurable statistics.

When considering cars, one person may say, I like x model because it has a spoiler.  The next person might say, I dislike x model because it has a spoiler.  It is all completely objective.  The same goes for bread recipes.  Someone might say, I like x recipe because it has a crunchy crust, and the next person may say, I dislike x recipe because it has a crunchy crust.

Bread machines are far easier to pick the best.  For the most part, everyone is really looking for a breadmaker that will consistently put out good quality loaves of bread while making the process as simple as possible.  Yes there are some space and budget qualifiers, but if you set all those aside, it is pretty easy to pick which one is the best.

So it goes with bread recipes and trying to determine which is best.  The best we can do since there is such a wide array of tastes and preferences when it comes to bread is to point out bread recipe books that tend to be well respected in the bread baking communities, and those that seem to be easier to use than others.

So what we have tried to include is recipe books that include a wide array of bread types and are well received:

• [ReviewAZON asin="0312545525" display="inlinepost"]- healthy recipes

• [ReviewAZON asin="0778802388" display="inlinepost"]- gluten free recipes

• [ReviewAZON asin="0806997001" display="inlinepost"]- bread maker recipes

I hope you enjoy, and happy baking.

Best Bread Maker Pizza Dough

When I was a kid working my way through high school and college, I spent most of my “career” working in a pizza shop. I began to love making pizza from scratch. Starting with the raw dough ingredients and taking it all the way to the point of sending the pizza either out the door for delivery or out to the dining room to be eaten.

My thoroughly enjoyed this process, but my favorite two parts in the process were forming/ stretching the dough, and putting the cheese on the pizza. The cheese part was because I like a lot of cheese on my pizza, and so I would make each pizza like I was going to eat it. My boss was not a fan of this strategy, but I enjoyed.

The pizza stretching part was just fun. I worked there for about 5 years, and got to the point where I could throw stretch the dough. Nothing like you see by the pros in Pizzerias around the globe, but it is still an accomplishment I am proud of. One time another cook and I decided we wanted to try to throw stretch the dough back and forth. First throw sent the dough nearly flying out the window and on to a customers table. A quick last minute grab by a coworker saved the customer, but the dough was ruined and I had to start over. Good times though that I remember quite fondly.

I am not saying it is necessary to get to or to practice the art of throwing the dough, but it is fun. However, the key to successful pizza and throwable dough is in the dough itself. Many people have spent time perfecting pizza dough recipes for a bread maker. Here are some of the best we found-

More Pizza Dough

So if you are looking for the best breadmaker pizza dough, that gives you a good place to start. After that, best is really up to the interpretation of your taste buds, so you will need to experiment and experiment and experiment some more until you can find one that fits what you are looking for.

So additives to the dough that you can experiment with:

Sugar
Honey
Cheese
Oil
Herbs
different flour types
etc.

Playing around with these will give you a different tasting product in the end. Play with it and come up with a bread maker pizza dough that you love.
