How to Bake Bread Using a Breadmaker
Baking fresh bread at home couldn't be simpler with Zojirushi breadmakers. Follow these easy steps:
-

-
2. Measure Your Ingredients
Use fresh ingredients and measure accurately. For consistent results, a digital kitchen scale is recommended.
-
3. Add Ingredients
Place ingredients into the baking pan in the correct order as specified by your model's instructions or the provided recipe.
-
4. Select Course and Press START
Choose the appropriate baking course, and let your breadmaker automatically knead, proof, and bake your loaf to perfection.

Troubleshooting: Why Didn’t My Bread Turn Out Right?
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.
