I absolutely love the taste of home baked bread. Unfortunately I also have some horrible affliction where I cannot correctly proof bread dough to save my life. Fortunately there is a remedy for that - a bread machine.
I got my first bread machine as a wedding present and love that I can make all sorts of fancy pants bread recipes for a fraction of the cost of a loaf in the bakery or grocery store. I used my bread maker so much I wore it out. Bread maker Number Two is happily chugging along and providing us with yummy bread. Which to be honest, we’ve been eating more of paired with soups and stews to stretch out the time that we have to order groceries using
Instacart (learn more about it here).

But mostly, like everyone else who has gone on a bread baking kick during quarantine, we just like the comforting smell of warm bread baking in the kitchen. In fact I have a load of bread started in my bread maker right now as I type that is destined to accompany a big batch of my husband’s chili for dinner tonight – yay!
The Best Bread Maker Recipes for Beginners
All of these bread recipes are great for beginners – even the King Cake recipe which technically isn’t bread and only served in February during Mardi Gras. I’m including the King Cake bread machine recipe because it is a dessert/breakfast pastry king of thing. I don’t know about you, but I can totally use an extra sweet treat to get me through this current situation, because CAKE.
This is a tasty option when you have odd little amounts of maple syrup and oatmeal you need to use up in your pantry.
Irish Soda bread isn’t just for Saint Patrick’s Day. In fact, it makes a lovely toast for breakfast!
For this recipe, you use the bread machine to make the bread dough and finish it by baking it in the oven.
This is an easy but a little more involved bread maker recipe. While the bread machine is busy making the king cake dough, you will need to make the filling (which isn’t difficult – honest) and later shape the dough and filling into the traditional doughnut like shape before baking it in the oven, letting it cool, and decorating it with icing and colored sugar.
