As I watched my first machine knead its first loaf of bread, I was enchanted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s be honest. Along with that excitement comes a few jitters. Bread flour? What\u2019s that? Which yeast should I use? And what if the loaf doesn\u2019t turn out the way I hoped? Even something as simple as how to store your bread can feel like a mystery in the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where I come in. I\u2019ve been baking with bread machines for years! I\u2019ve gathered my best bread machine tips for beginners to help you skip the stress and get straight to the good part \u2014 the smell of fresh bread wafting through your kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2>First Step, Read the Instruction Manual<\/h2>\n<p>I know, I know \u2014 \u201cread the manual\u201d doesn\u2019t sound like the most thrilling way to start your bread-making adventure. But trust me, it\u2019s worth it! Each machine has its own quirks.<\/p>\n<p>Check out what settings on your bread machine. See what order the bread machine ingredients should be added to the pan.\u00a0 Learn how to wash the pan.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UXv7CQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Zojirushi bread machines<\/a>, for example, you do NOT immerse the pan in water. Instead, you carefully wash the inside while keeping the outside of the pan dry.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t have a manual?\u00a0 I have a page with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/2017\/10\/the-missing-bread-machine-manual\/\">links to manuals for some bread machines<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Try the Recipes in the Manual<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You know the saying <em>you have to\u00a0learn to walk before you run<\/em>? \u00a0It\u2019s true with your bread machine too.<\/p>\n<p>Follow those recipes exactly as written \u2014 at least for now. I know it\u2019s tempting to swap out flour, tweak the yeast, or get creative with add-ins (believe me, I\u2019ve been there!). But in these early days, it\u2019s better to stick to the script. Once you\u2019ve got a few loaves under your belt, you can start experimenting with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t just stop at one recipe. Give several a try! Different breads bake up with different textures, flavors, and crusts. It\u2019s a fun way to discover what you and your family love best.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3348\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raisin Bread Recipe | Bread Machine Recipes\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3348\" class=\"wp-image-3348 size-full\" alt=\"Raisin Bread Recipe\" width=\"600\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600-400x272.jpg 400w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Raisin Bread Recipe | Bread Machine Recipes\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3348\" class=\"wp-image-3348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600.jpg\" alt=\"Raisin Bread Recipe\" width=\"600\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/RaisinBread600-400x272.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-3348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/raisin-bread\/\">Raisin Bread<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The bread machine manual can actually have some great recipes!\u00a0 For example, I love this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breadmachinediva.com\/2009\/05\/raisin-bread\/\">raisin bread recipe<\/a> that came directly from the manual that came with my machine.<\/p>\n<h2>Remember to Check the Dough<\/h2>\n<p>All of my bread and dough recipes remind people to check the dough.\u00a0 \u201cCheck on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading.

Rapid rise yeast. Active dry yeast. Instant yeast. Sometimes it feels like there are too many choices, doesn\u2019t it? Why does yeast have to sound so complicated?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the good news: it doesn\u2019t have to be. I\u2019ve been using active dry yeast in my bread machine for years, and most of the recipes on this site use that type. It\u2019s reliable, easy to find, and it works beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>But if you prefer instant yeast, that\u2019s fine too! You\u2019ll just need to adjust the amount.

That way, I can grab just what I need. When it\u2019s time to thaw, I slip a slice straight into the toaster.
