American bread machines only cook American loaves and English muffins. French rolls may surrender to the machine however.

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

Make sure you put the ingredients in the bread pan in the order they are listed in the recipe. This allows for the best mixing of the dough. When you plug in and turn on the bread machine it is set for a loaf of basic white bread. I use this setting for most of the bread I make. While on this setting you can set for the size of loaf (I find a one-and-a-half pound loaf is best) and for the thickness of the crust. Then start the cycle. A couple of tips. If the recipe calls for two different flours...I like to mix them together before I put them in the machine. Some recipes call for an egg. I mix the egg with the other liquid (milk or water) before adding to the pan.

I use Laura Brody's Bread Machine Baking recipe book & the recipes are adapted for speciific bread machines. For the large oster, I always use 2 1/2 tsp yeast to 3 C flour. King Arthur flour is great!

I am not absolutely sure, but it could be due to some of your ingredients! Be sure to follow the recipe measurements and instructions exactly, and use what they recommend. It calls for bread flour, I have had success with using regular flour, but stick to what is called for and see if it makes any difference (if you are using something else) it could also be the yeast. make sure it is fresh and not outdated It doesn't sound like it is the machine, as you say the bread is baked. I also had a bad loaf when I first started, it was when I made the 2 lb. loaf, it came out heavy and did not rise so I made sure I followed the recipe exactly and my ingredients were fresh and I stuck to the 1 and 1/2 lb recipe and it has worked fine every time. Hope this helps!!

It is not San Francisco that I know of. There are lots of famous sourdough mother batches though, not just SF. Go to Breadtopia.com and you can learn all about the company. Lots of free recipes and how to videos.

In looking at the instruction book...you apparently can mix bread but need the optioinal DOUGH HOOKS "with this the Hand Mixer can also knead yeast bread doughs". I don't have this part.

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?

In my experience, this is not the same as the rapid rise yeast. It is truly reliable and makes a beautiful loaf of bread, with standard rising and hand mixed methods. I do not use a bread machine, but have had them. In the machine you should use a rapid rise, by all the directions I have read. I hope this helps.

Here from the Netherlands as well the same question? Where are the stainless steal pan baking machines? After having used up 2 teflon coated baking machine pans I have had it with exposing my family to hazarding materials in my bread.. How is it possible that no manufacturer has taken this market?

I have a Cuisinart CBK-200 machine and it works great. There is a GF cycle on the machine and I have not had a bad loaf yet. I alter the recipe as follows: 2 cups milk vs 1-2/3, add 1-1/2 tsp sugar to help make the bread rise fully. Other than that, it's pretty simple. I don't see a reason why you can't bake in an oven; there are directions for both on the bag.

I have heard that gluten free dough does not work well with bread machines. I bake in a conventional oven. You may want to review other ratings and their use in machines. Good luck.

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 have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm having this problem. My old bread maker which was Oster also did a much better job. This Oster bread machine was smaller but made a 2 lb. loaf the price was right so I bought it. I'm using the recipe book but not having success. The first loaf of raisin bread I was pleased with. The second loaf I made the machine did not cook the loaf until it done. I don't understand it has to be the machine !

My first two attempts with my BBCCX20 were awful. I started reading comments on the internet assuming so many people couldn't be getting a good result. It had to be me. So here are some things I changed. (I am not an experienced bread maker) I now spoon my flour into the measuring cup after fluffying it up with a spoon in the sack. I use much less flour this way I've found. Second, I have noticed I always have a messed up loaf when I use the plain active dried yeast. I have started using the rapid rise Fleishchmann's in the jar that is made especially for bread machines. Then I either use the quick, quick wheat, or cake cycle if it has eggs in it. I also now test my liquid with a thermometer to make sure it is about 100 degrees and I warm my nuts slightly since I keep them in the freezer. Eggs I leave on the counter until they don't feel cold anymore. It takes some advanced thought to make a loaf of bread I find. But I am now very happy with my machine. I was a little bit panicy to begin with though.

Yes, according to the Bob's Red Mill site, where there is a recipe (I've never tried to make it).In addition, a Google search shows several recipes, including for bread machines.Hope this helps!
