How do I bake bread in a breadmaker?

Baking fresh bread at home couldn't be simpler. The key is to measure accurately, and the breadmaker will do the rest, automatically.

  • 1. Measure ingredients

    Use fresh ingredients and measure accurately. For best results, we recommend using a digital kitchen scale.

  • 2. Attach blade(s) to the baking pan

    Make sure they're attached firmly. It's OK if they wiggle back and forth, but needs to be flush at the bottom.

  • 3. Add ingredients

    Place ingredients in the correct order. They differ slightly from model to model and recipe to recipe.

  • 4. Select course and hit START!

    Choose the correct course and press START. The breadmaker will knead, proof and bake your bread.

My bread didn’t turn out as I expected. What did I do wrong?

A Zojirushi breadmaker is as close as anyone can get to the ultimate in simple, one-touch bread baking. But of course, there are some things we know that can still go wrong. Here are a few:

  • Collapsed or sunken loaf (rising and falling)

    Cause: Too much yeast, sugar or water, too little salt, or high altitude.

    What you can do: Reduce yeast by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon and use cold water.  Continue to reduce incrementally. Or increase salt, or decrease sugar or water.

  • Short, dense, or dark loaf

    Cause: Too much flour (or other dry ingredients) or not enough liquid.

    What you can do: Reduce flour or increase liquids.

  • Lopsided loaf

    Cause: Too much flour (or other dry ingredients) or not enough liquid, or recipe size too small.

    What you can do: Reduce flour or increase liquids.

  • Lumpy loaf

    Cause: Too much flour (or other dry ingredients) or not enough liquid.

    What you can do: Reduce flour or increase liquids.

  • Added ingredients didn’t mix

    Cause: Too much flour (or other dry ingredients) or not enough liquid.

    What you can do: Reduce flour or increase liquid.  When dough is too dry, added ingredients like nuts and raisins cannot penetrate the dough ball.

  • Unmixed ingredients

    Cause: The kneading blades were not installed properly, or kneading blades have worn out.

    What you can do: Install kneading blades before adding ingredients. If the kneading blades don't catch when turning with fingers, they are worn out and need to be replaced.
