Product Description

Wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread with this programmable bread machine. Simply add the ingredients, choose from several options using the touch-pad controls, and it takes care of the rest. It will mix the ingredients, knead the dough, let it rise, and bake it to perfection--soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Choose from 12 preprogrammed menu options; 1-, 1-1/2-, and 2-pound loaf sizes; and three crust settings--light, medium, or dark. Other highlights include a 13-hour delay-start timer, a removable lid with a viewing window, power-failure backup, sturdy stay-cool handles, and a removable kneading paddle and bread pan for easy cleanup. Accessories include a measuring cup, a measuring spoon, and foolproof recipes for gluten-free breads, as well as jams and sauces. Mix-ins must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with other basic ingredient. With its modern design and embossed logo, the bread machine measures 18 by 12-1/5 by 15 inches.

From the Manufacturer

Nothing says “home” like warm, just-baked bread. With this programmable automatic breadmaker from Cuisinart, all you have to do is add ingredients and select the time you’d like it to start the process. The breadmaker mixes it, kneads it, and bakes it. It also come with lots of bread recipes, as well as recipes for pastries and jams. You’ll discover you’ve bought yourself much more than a breadmaker (while still enjoying the lovely smell and taste of homemade bread). For safety, this unit is equipped with a power failure backup system. In case of any disruption of power supply, the unit will store in memory the stage of bread making cycle and resume once power is restored. The power back up feature can maintain memory for a power failure up to 15 minutes. And for easy clean up, the removable pan and paddle, cup, and spoon are dishwasher safe. The removable lid and touchpad control wipe clean with a damp cloth; fewer crevices make the unit easier to clean.

Easy-to-Use Control Panel

  • LCD Display: Displays loaf size and crust color selection along with the current function. Also used to view menu selection and delay start timer, which allows you to delay the bread-making process up to 13 hours.
  • Loaf Size Button: Selects a 1-pound, 1-1/2-pound, or 2-pound loaf.
  • Crust Color Button: Selects a light, medium or dark crust.
  • Menu Button: Selects program.
  • Program List: Lists the first 11 preprogrammed menu selections: use the menu button to select from this list:
    • Basic/White: The white bread cycle uses primarily white flour.
    • French/Italian: French/Italian breads require special timing and temperatures to achieve that wonderful crispy, nicely browned crust.
    • Whole Wheat Bread: This is a yeast bread made with a significant portion of whole wheat flour (50% or more). Breads made from whole wheat flour are more nutritious because the flour is milled from the entire wheat berry (including the bran and the germ). Using whole wheat flour produces a bread that is brown to dark brown in color (when all the whole wheat flour is used).
    • Sweet Bread: The sweet bread program is specifically designed to bake breads with high amounts of sugar, fats, and proteins. These added ingredients tend to increase browning of the finished loaves.
    • Gluten Free: One in approximately 100 people has an allergy or sensitivity to gluten. Since gluten is found in most flours used in traditional bread making, the ingredients to create gluten free breads are unique. While they are “yeast breads”, the doughs are generally wet and have a batter-like consistency. It is also important not over-mix or over-knead gluten free doughs. There is only one rise, and due to the high moisture content, baking time is increased. Mix-ins must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with other basic ingredients.
    • Packaged Mix: This program is for prepackaged yeast bread mixes--the 1-1/2 and 2 pound dough mixes work best.
    • Cake/Quick Bread: Cake-like in texture, and referred to as batter breads in some cookbooks, these are usually baked in a shaped pan such as a muffin tin or loaf pan. They get their leavening from baking powder, baking soda, and eggs. Mix-ins must be added at the very beginning of the cycle with other basic ingredients. If a quick bread is a little moist on top when baking is complete (moisture will depend on ingredients of the quick bread), leave it in the bread maker for an extra 10 to 15 minutes with no heat, and it will continue baking.
    • Dough: There are two ways to prepare dough in the bread maker if you wish to bake it in a conventional oven. One way is by using the Dough cycle. It mixes ingredients, kneads and takes the dough through the first rise cycle. It is appropriate for almost any dough recipe (except gluten free) and ideal for pizza dough. It is intended that dough will be removed, deflated, and shaped by hand and allowed to rise 1 or 2 more times out of the bread maker. Alternatively, you can choose a specific bread type from the menu options, and remove the dough when the signal before the last rise sounds.
    • Pasta Dough: The pasta dough program mixes and kneads pasta dough perfectly. It is intended for the dough to be removed and rested. Once rested the dough can either be rolled by hand or placed through a pasta roller.
    • Jams: The breadmaker is a great cooking environment for homemade jams and chutneys. The paddle automatically keeps the ingredients stirring through the process. The heating element is placed in a way that the contents of the pot will not get burned. Recipes are included in the Instruction Book.
    • Bake-Only: This activates the breadmaker for bake function only, and can be set in 10 minutes intervals up to 90 minutes. You can use this setting if you want the finished loaf to have darker crust or to bake store-purchased doughs.
    • Rapid Bake: The rapid cycle must be used with a recipe using rapid rise yeast, or the bread will not rise and bake properly.
    • Delay Start Timer Buttons: Set the delay start timer.
    • Start/Stop Button: Starts and stops the bread maker process

      Handy Options

      1. Mix-Ins: During the last 8 minutes of the second kneading cycle for several on selected programs an audible signal of 5 short beeps will sound to remind you to add any additional ingredients your recipe requires (such as nuts and seeds, raisins and dried fruits, shredded chesses, chocolate morsels).

        • After Mixing/Kneading is completed there will be an audible signal of 6 short beeps, before the last rise cycle, indicating the point at which the mixing/kneading is complete. At this point in the bread making process you have the option of removing the kneading paddle, to avoid a small hole in the bottom of your baked loaf, and/or re-shaping the dough, though neither is necessary.

          After Breadmaking

          There will be a series of 15 beeps to signal the end of the baking cycle: the bread display window will read 00:00 and the unit will be in the Warm Cycle. Your bread will be kept warm for 60 minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy. For optimal results, we recommend removing the loaf as soon as the baking cycle is complete and letting it cool on a baking rack. All breads slice best when allowed to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes before slicing.

What a treat!
5 Stars
What a treat!
It's been half a year now since I bought this, and I'm very happy with it:1. It's boxy as expected from a bread maker, but still looks good on the counter top alongside my other stainless steel appliances (though this isn't stainless steel finish, more like anodized aluminum).2. It's very user friendly. Just put in the ingredients in the listed order, press the program button and the size/crust options and forget. A few hours later you have the aroma of freshly baked bread in the house. If you follow the instructions, you get professional-looking, -tasting and -sounding bread right at home -cccrack! That sound, the look of steaming bread, and the aroma can't be beat!3. It can be used for different purposes: other than lots of options to make white, sweet, whole grain bread etc, in several size and crust variations, one can make pizza dough (delicious), pasta dough and jam (I haven't yet tried the latter two).4. It's a much more efficient way of baking small-scale compared to the kitchen oven. And, as a comparison, the rich, German-style breads I make with this cost between $5-7 a loaf in the good bakeries. Baking a loaf at home costs less than $2.My only complaint is that this Amazon-bought appliance came with a ding (I didn't make a fuss about it), and that I can't keep up with the family's appetite! Removing the paddle half way through the program is too messy, so I just let it bake as is (so it has a hole underneath... not a big deal).Without exaggeration, the anticipation of freshly baked bread for breakfast (if you set with the delay) or dinner has become a wonderful home and family ritual. As a bonus, here is my own recipe for 2 lb bread (you'll love this! Ingredients in this order):1 1/2 cups water1 1/4 tsp salt1/2 tbs black molasses3 cups unbleached bread flour (I use the King Arthur brand)1/3 cup vital wheat gluten1/4 cup wheat bran1/4 cup rolled wheat1/4 cup milled flax1 tbs flax seeds1 tbs black quinoa seeds1 tbs sunflower seeds2 tbs pumpernickel seedsExtra virgin drizzle (about 1/2 tbs)2 1/4 tsp Bread machine yeast (place in a hollow on top of other ingredients)Set for 2 lbs, dark crust, whole wheat program. Don't bother adding the seeds later, just put it all in. Wait a few hours, get your fresh butter out and indulge!PS. For a picture of the resulting loaf, check my photo associated with the bread maker (mine shows the bread on a brown towel with a pyrex measuring cup in the background). Yes, I'm proud of this beauty! ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good!
Reviewed in Canada on April 8, 2018
I just did my first loaf (a gluten-free recipe from the book) and it turned out fantastic!

Unfortunately there was a surprising lack of packaging during delivery. Recently I bought a bottle of nail polish from Amazon and the product box was maybe 1x1x3" and it came in a delivery box that was approximately 10x 20x4" and stuffed with brown paper 😱 That was shocking over-packaging, but the bread machine arrived only in the box that it would be in if you bought it from a store shelf. Thankfully, it looks like everything is in working order.

It's a nice looking item, not too bulky and doesn't weigh too much. If there's a way to do it, I might suggest a new user may want to put it through a heat cycle while not baking anything, to burn off that "new machine" smell. The smell was not especially nice, but did not affect the flavour of the bread.

I did the caraway rye recipe from the booklet. I was familiar by name with some of the more unusual ingredients, but I'm not sure if even a big grocery store would carry all of them. I went to one health food store that I frequent , but being a smaller store in the chain didn't carry everything… I had to go to one of their bigger stores to get all the ingredients. Customers in a more remote area might have to do it through mail order from a larger store chain or Amazon.

This is my first experience with a bread machine – prior to getting ready to do the baking, in my mind I was still thinking old-school, having to dig out my bowls and make a big dusty mess! LOL It's wonderful to just be able to pop everything in the bake pan and let the machine do the rest. No mixing, no kneading – heaven!

I noticed the loaf rising nicely, and at one point I closed the microwave on the other side of my kitchen and I don't know if it's my imagination that the sound made the loaf sink a bit…or if it is supposed to do that. I've never even made gluten-free bread in an oven so this is all new to me.

When the process was over and I turned out the loaf, I couldn't believe how nicely it turned out! When I did a taste test later, it was really nice! I look forward to trying the other recipes in this booklet, as well as other recipes from Gluten free bread machine books.

I did a very rough estimate on the cost to make a loaf, and I would say it's maybe half the cost. Maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more, I wasn't terribly scientific in calculating. One downside to the recipes is that the nutritional information shows that everything is way higher than loaf I would normally get in the store. However, it's fresh and you know what's in it... It's also a more solid loaf than one would find in the stores, so not full of *air*. I weighed this one at 700 g. (almost 2 lb)

It's not a fault of the machine, but the recipes in the booklet, so it might be advisable to find recipes elsewhere: I've added a photo: one slice is approximately 4 in x 5 in, so roughly the same size as a store loaf, however the nutritional values like calories, sodium, carbohydrates, are about three times (!) what a store slice would be. One third of the slice is awfully tiny, and obviously not big enough to make a sandwich with. Again though, it's very dense and very filling so perhaps one just has to train oneself to use smaller than industry-standardized slices.

If the photos turned out in the correct order, you see the process from beginning to end. (I've added one more to show the small size you would need to make a slice in order to make the equivalent nutritional values of a store-bought slice).The dough after mixing; the dough rising; the dough when I worried if it sank; the beautiful finished product!
