Breadman TR2200C Ultimate Bread Machine

• Makes homemade bread in 1-, 1-1/2-, and 2-pound loaves
• 110 preprogrammed settings, 430 watts, 60-minute power failure backup
• Nonstick bake pan material for easy cleaning
• Includes instruction manual, recipe booklet, and instructional videotape
• Measures 16 by 12 by 10-1/2 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Think about how lovely it would be to wake up to the aroma of baking bread, and how equally satisfying it would be to present a warm, soft loaf of yeast or quick bread at the table for any meal. This programmable machine makes it so easy, there’s no excuse for not making your own breads. You can put all the ingredients into the machine the night before, or the morning of, and program it to have the bread ready and waiting at the appropriate time.What used to be a time-consuming, messy process is now a snap. Measure the ingredients into the Breadman Plus, push a few buttons, then go for a walk in the park. Return a few hours later–or after a good night’s sleep–to the unforgettable aroma and taste of homemade bread. This machine will even make the jam to top it off.

The Breadman Ultimate makes and bakes most kinds of yeast bread–white, whole wheat, rye, honey banana, or crusty French–as well as quick or batter breads. Try the recipes in the booklet or your own favorites–just be sure the dry ingredients total less than about 5 cups so the dough doesn’t overflow the 9-1/2-inch (nonstick) baking pan. If your recipe calls for adding ingredients late in the kneading cycle, there’s a tray to hold and automatically dispense them. If you want to make bread that doesn’t conform to the loaf shape, the machine can mix and raise the dough prior to shaping for baking in a conventional oven.

For the beginner the process couldn’t be easier, and even if you’re an old hand at making bread from scratch, you’ll find yourself baking much more frequently. And this machine quickly pays for itself: think of how many or loaves you won’t be buying over the bread maker’s lifetime! One drawback is worth noting: If you’re a fan of the Breadman Plus, you may be less satisfied with the mixing results of the Ultimate’s single bread hook versus the Plus’s dual dough hooks. –Toni Reineke

Betty Crocker’s Best Bread Machine Cookbook: The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way

Everyone loves fresh bread, but not the time it takes to make it. Bread machines are hot items in the kitchen because they take the work out of making homemade bread. Even better, Betty Crocker takes the mystery out of the bread machine and brings you easy-to-use recipes for both 1 1/2-pound and 2-pound loaves that work for all the popular bread machine models. We’ve packed this book with over 100 recipes to tempt your tastebuds. There are delicious bread recipes for classic favorites, rustic breads, sweet doughs, coffeecakes and buns. Betty Crocker’s Bread Machine Cookbook also offers a host of recipes for doughs to mix, then shape and bake in a conventional oven — such as foccacia, breadsticks and pizza doughs — with easy-to-follow illustrations on how to shape and trim the loaves. Best of all, you can trust these recipes will work in your bread machine because the Betty Crocker kitchens have tested the recipes in several different machines to ensure success at home. We’ve also loaded up this book to include information on bread machine ingredients; glossary of bread machine ingredients, techniques, and terms; and a breakdown of the various features found on different models of machines and how to use them. There’s nothing better than the taste of homemade bread — and no one brings it to you better than Betty Crocker.Old-fashioned bread the new-fashioned way, Betty calls it. Easy, convenient, modern. There’s no knead for loafing. Not with that fabulous combination in the kitchen: Betty Crocker and the bread machine.

The construction of this book, first of all, is wonderful. The cover is hard and the binding is heavy, enameled spiral. Each page lays flat on the counter, or you can hold the book open on one arm while doing something with the other hand. This suggests that Betty Crocker wrote her bread-baking cookbook with serious use in mind. She certainly tested her recipes. A variety of bread machines were used, which means that each recipe was tested a number of different times. Betty tells you exactly what kind of flour she used, as well as salt, size of eggs, kind of yeast, etc. She leaves nothing to chance.

Bread machine baking has its own peculiarities, and Betty addresses all these right up front, the hows and how-tos (as well as the whys and wherefores) of getting the perfect loaf every time. There’s a troubleshooting section, as well as a frequently asked question section. Then it’s right into the recipes, all 130 of them.

There are Good and Savory Loaves (Cheese Onion Bread) and Wholesome Grain Loaves (Toasted Almond Whole Wheat Bread), Fruit and Vegetable Harvest Loaves (Dried Apricot Bread), Smaller Can Be Just Right Loaves (these are one-and-a-half-pound loaves), and then several chapters on breads you start in the bread machine, but finish in the oven. These include braided sweet breads, pizza dough, rustic-style breads, and coffeecakes.

Any bread machine owner is going to love to loaf with Betty Crocker. –Schuyler Ingle

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 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 Reviews

Being in the business of reviewing bread machines, I read a lot of poor reviews out there.  In fact, I probably wrote a few bad ones myself when I first got started.  My goal is to not only provide the best reviews of bread machines on the market, but also to review all the best bread makers on the market.

Some tips to look for when reading a reviews and considering a machine for yourself and your families kitchen.

1. Size- This seems obvious, but the fact is some kitchens have more counter and storage space than others.  So buying the biggest possible breadmaker on the market if your kitchen is the size of a postage stamp does not make any sense and you will have much less enjoyment from it.  However, if you have a huge kitchen with massive counters, then a small bread machine may seem too small aesthetically.  Another size issue to consider is how much bread your family will consume.  If it will be a lot, then a small loaf pan bread maker is not quite right for you.
2. Color- Some companies offer various colors while others only have one option.  If this is going to stay on your counter top, you may want to make sure it fits your decor.
3. Your Budget- Prices for bread machines range from below $50 to over $200 and you pretty much get what you pay for.  All of them will do a decent job, but if you want to get into the fancier bread types or just having more options available to you, then you will need to spend a little more.
4. Types of Breads- there are some bread machines that are better fitted for dietary special breads like gluten free.  If that is a concern for you, search “best gluten free bread maker” to direct you as to the better options for this.
5. Your Bread making Skills- Some of the higher end model of breadmakers offer you features which will compensate of even the most beginners lack of skills.

So as you go out and read the various reviews, take these tips under consideration so you can ensure that you are getting the best bread maker for your family.  Happy Baking!

Best Bread Mixer

When giving my opinion on what is the best bread mixer, I fear that I will sound redundant.  To be completely honest, most bread machines today do a good job as a bread mixer.  That being said, the top ones are the larger machines from Zojirushi.  The dual kneading paddles help to ensure that the all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed before either moving to the next cycle or allowing you to remove the dough to finish the processing as you see fit.

A good bread mixer needs to thoroughly mix all the ingredients to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the whole loaf.  This helps to keep from getting lumpy or clumpy bread.

Sometimes, I get a little impatient during the mixing time.  I look in through the viewing window and see what looks like a perfectly mixed lump of dough.  I always get tempted to just pull it out and start working with it right away.   However, I always resist and let my little bread mixer do its job all the way to the end.

I know lately I have been sounding redundant touting the great features of the Zojirushi bread machine, but the fact is, I have owned/ used other brands.  This company has truly created a great brand and it is why I stake my reputation on it.

If anyone has a different opinion regarding what is the best bread mixer, or has had a negative experience with Zojirushi breadmaker, I would definitely like to hear it.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your baking.

Zojirushi Bread Maker

Zojirushi is a Japanese company that has been manufacturing quality products for almost one hundred years.  The line of Zojirushi Bread Makers continue this standard of excellence and provide fantastic bread making opportunities for the smallest or most opulent kitchens.

They have used their nearly a century of experience and a sensitive finger on the pulse of consumer desires and needs to create products the users rave about.  The Zojirushi Bread Maker is currently offered in four varieties.   Three large, one of which is featured above, and one smaller for apartments or smaller houses.

[ReviewAZON asin="B000G32H84" display="inlinepost"]

The large bread makers come in to options, the one above, and a white option which is right below.

[ReviewAZON asin="B0000T6J3I" display="inlinepost"]

The final large version is so new we have yet to review it.  It is garnering positive feedback at amazon, but we personally have not purchased it yet.

[ReviewAZON asin="B003GXFZYO" display="inlinepost"]

All three larger Zojirushi Bread Makers offer custom recipe programming so you can put your own recipes in the machine and it will save the steps for future use.  A great feature for those looking to take advantage of the bread machine’s strength when it comes to making gluten free bread.

It is abundantly clear to us that Zojirushi is not fooling around when it comes to manufacturing top notch bread machines.  They are forever refining based on engineering advances and customer feedback.

Due to the long history of quality, Zojirushi stands behind their quality products.  My Zojirushi Bread Machine suffers maximum abuse, but it just keeps on ticking.  If you want a bread machine that is built like a tank, then do yourself a favor and buy the Zojirushi breadmaker.  You will not regret it.  I know I have not.  Now go bake some bread.
