Delicious fresh warm bread in a jiffy.

While some might thumb their noses at the idea of a machine taking over the time-honored process of making bread by hand, bread machines can produce a variety of stellar loaves: white bread, sweet bread, dense and chewy rye, babka swirled with chocolate, and more. They are great for those who love freshly baked bread but don't have the time or energy to devote to hand-formed boules.

WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

With an easy-to-use interface and multiple bread options (including a “Homemade” option, which lets you customize the kneading, rising, and baking times), this reliable machine impressed us with its picture-perfect loaves. Two kneading paddles ensured a well-integrated dough with an even-crumbed interior that, while light and tender, was also sturdy enough to cut without falling apart. We also liked the traditional, rectangular-shaped loaves the machine produced. The only area the machine struggled in was with crust shade, which often came out a bit lighter than the setting we selected (medium), though the bread still tasted delicious and was perfectly baked.

We maintain strict objectivity in all testing.*

How We Tested Bread Machines

All the machines we tested had the ability to make 2-pound loaves, though some also had options for other bread sizes, ranging from 1- to 2.5-pound loaves. We made a variety of breads in each machine: basic white bread from each machine’s recipe booklet, our recipe for basic wheat bread for bread machines, and our recipe for sweet bread with almonds and dried cherries for bread machines. After the first few rounds of bread making, we did some further baking in our favorite machines.
