## Description

Product Description Panasonic Automatic Bread Maker desertcart.com Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well. The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred BrackFrom the Manufacturer There's nothing quite like the warm aroma of freshly baked homemade bread from the oven. With the help of this user-friendly bread machine, even those with a busy, on-the-go schedule can enjoy this simple pleasure--without the time-consuming hard work normally associated with baking bread. Just add ingredients, press a few buttons, and it takes care of the rest. Soft-touch control panel with LCD digital display and 13-hour preset timer.Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough Bake loaves of white or whole wheat bread for slicing and slathering with butter and jam or for making sandwiches. Create croissant or pizza dough for shaping by hand and baking in the oven. Make the classic fruitcake to serve during the holidays. From basic recipes to custom creations, the bread machine produces delicious results--and without the additives and preservatives found in store-bought brands. A recipe book with over 50 original bread and dough recipes comes included. Customizable Settings The unit's top-access, soft-touch, push-button control panel with an LCD digital display helps ensure easy programming. Choose from three different loaf sizes (medium, large, or extra large) and the crust color (light, medium, or dark). It also offers up to six different types of bread or dough options--Basic, Whole Wheat, Multi-Grain, French, Pizza, and Cake. Baking modes include Bake Only (great for fruitcakes, gingerbread, and teacakes); Rapid Bake (reduces the baking time of basic and whole-wheat breads); Raisin (offers an audible beep to signal when to add raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the dough); and Sandwich (produces bread with a soft crust). Dough modes include Pizza, Rolls, and Raisin Dough. Best of all, the appliance comes equipped with a digital timer, which can be set up to 13 hours in advance--great for waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a warm loaf will be ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner. Choose from 3 loaf sizes and 3 crust shades from light to dark.Healthy and Nutritious Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and making choices between a variety of options, homemade bread can be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and older family members alike. High in fiber and low in fat, bread contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron for healthy bones and teeth. Add nutrient-rich eggs to the recipe or choose whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but they're also another way to add to the overall health factor. Yeast dispenser automatically adds yeast at optimal time to ensure perfect results.Ultimate Convenience Thoughtfully designed, the bread machine also supplies a YeastPro automatic yeast dispenser. Just add a measured amount of yeast into the holder on the unit's lid, and the machine will automatically dispense the yeast in with the other ingredients at the perfect time for optimal results. Even more, the unit's inner bake pan comes fitted with a wire handle (use an oven mitt when hot) for easily removing it from the appliance when the bread has finished baking. The pan's nonstick coating allows baked bread to slide easily out of the pan onto a cutting board or a wire rack to fully cool for easier slicing. Inner bake pan offers built-in handle and nonstick coating for effortless bread removal.Unique Design for Professional Results Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing window. The absence of a viewing window allows a more even reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color. The machine also benefits from a unique temperature-control program that automatically optimizes the temperatures and times for each stage of the process. Its comprehensive microprocessor program makes slight adjustments as needed to ensure perfectly baked bread regardless of conditions like climate and room temperature. Panasonic delivers excellent results regardless of different types of ingredients used, different seasons, and different room temperatures. In addition to the recipe book, accessories include a measuring spoon, a measuring cup, and a kneading blade that fits onto the base of the inner pan for thoroughly mixing ingredients. Other highlights include a top-loading locking lid, a handy indicator light to show when the baking or dough cycle has completed, a safety fuse for peace of mind, and power-interruption protection that allows the baking process to resume even when there's an interruption in power for approximately 10 minutes or less. All parts should be hand washed only. The small appliance comes in a compact design that fits neatly on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt bread machine measures 13-3/8 by 9-1/16 by 14 inches, weighs about 15 pounds, and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Review: Very pleased! - I've owned this machine for two years now. I use these reviews so heavily that I want to give back. I researched it carefully, reading all the reviews, etc. Was nervous about some problems I'd read about in the reviews but took the plunge as this machine seemed to meet my needs and was cheaper than the Z. The machine I ordered burned the bread. I made bread twice with the same result. I called desertcart and they quickly made an exchange. I LOVE the second Panasonic!! I'm glad I stayed with it. Definitely worth: the trouble with the exchange, the longer wait time (longer time makes a much higher rise = more bread for the same ingredients), the necessary scales. I'd do it all over again without a second thought. The bread is fantastic! You get a choice for two hour bread but it makes an average sized loaf. The four hour bread is huge and wonderful. I love the timer on it -- I bought a slow cooker with a timer at the same time and now have dinner waiting for our family when I walk in the door ;) I have worked out a system of snap lid tubs in which I pre-measure dry ingredients, write the wet ingredients on the lid, and store them in a larger tub on the cold back porch. In the morning, I dump the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients and set the timer - five minute process - dinner when I walk in...heaven! -The scales are no biggie and truly do help to get it right. -I don't understand why people complain about the noise...other kitchen appliances are much louder. The yeast dispenser does make a thumping noise but only for four thumps. When I hear a soft whirring sound, I think: I'm not having to kneed bread...I'm reading a book! -The bread pan is easy to clean - I just add hot water to it after I extract the bread (slips right out) and add a bit of dish soap - soak. -Large machine? Well, do you want a large-sized loaf? You gotta have an oven to hold it! It's not THAT large...I have the slow cooker, a toaster, trays, and the bread machine all in one corner at the end of the counter. -The recipes are delicious. I love fixing calzones with it. I know I'm supposed to be able to fix other things in it but can't seem to get past the desire to cook all kinds of breads! Our favorite? Whole wheat cranberry...a loaf doesn't last the meal with my hungry teens and my husband is now a happy man! All this and I didn't have to hang over it. I DON'T work for Panasonic - I teach school (and eat bread). Enjoy! Update: Just went in to make French Bread dough for Christmas meal (2012) and had to say - still working fine after two more years, well used, love, love, love it! Would do it again in a heart-beat! Two more winters and still using it! Left over bread is delicious warmed in the microwave - if any is ever left! 2018 - just cooked a wonderful loaf of bread. Rose high, light, fluffy, husband ate the entire loaf in two days. Bread maker still working great.
Review: It's a Panasonic- what more can I say? - UPDATE March 20th 2019**** It's dead Jim. I was using the "dough" setting for dinner rolls. It spazzed out on the kneading cycle and turned my bread to goo. *sob* It caught my attention when the kneading cycle was very rapid and sounded irregular. When you use the machine for 5 years you know how it sounds. It happened in January 2019, but I thought it was because of a power flicker. I knew it wasn't a recipe flub on my part because I had checked it during the last part of the dough cycle. It was a nice ball. Then it had an irregular kneading cycle after it had it's "punch down" knead cycle. It started kneading really fast. Turned it into a sticky mess. It was such an amazing machine until it wasn't. I thought I'd start over. Unplugged, let it set. Plugged it back in, and it was locked on some random baking setting- different from the one I had used. Hopefully it was just the power flicker. Ugh... this thing was amazing. ********************************************************************************** UPDATE November 2015*** This machine is still going strong. I do oil the bottom shaft on the pan with a 3 in 1 oil every so often(same thing as sewing machine) FYI- this is NOT the oil you use inside the pan.OUTSIDE ONLY. I decided to do some research on bread machines and various features when I decided my home made bread consumption was exceeding the time I was willing to commit. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised when I came across a Panasonic bread machine. We have a lot of Panasonic electronics in our house. My husband is quite loyal to the brand. So while researching- I tried to be unbiased. But with all the reviews and such- it just became very apparent that this was the machine for me. It has lived up to the name of Panasonic. It's a solidly built machine. Now- granted, bread making itself is a subjective art with a bit of science thrown in. Recipes and how one carries them out is strictly operator- not the machine. I will however say this is a quiet machine as far as a bread machine goes. No it's not whisper quiet, but you will appreciate the lack of racket if you've ever been around a machine that sounded like it was going to launch itself into outer space. I use the Rapid Bake feature a majority of the time because I make the basic milk bread recipe from the manual. It serves our needs. I have also used the dough cycle for making cinnamon rolls. (amazing) OH and of course- using it for Pizza dough has been great too. It does exactly what these features allow you to do.The yeast dispenser, although not necessary is very handy. I think it's a great bread machine. I've been experimenting and my use is about 2-3 times a week for loaf bread and a few other times for various mixing and kneading rolls, pizza dough etc. The reason I bought the machine is because I had gotten into bread making and came to the point that we were eating the home made bread more than the store bought loaves. At that point, all the kneading and such takes a toll,(Kudos to our pioneer ancestors) never mind the time it takes to mix and rise, bake, etc. I was hesitant to buy a machine as our counter space is limited and this is not a small machine. However, it's a part of my kitchen now and I look forward to more experimentation. I would say this machine is an excellent bread machine, with probably a few more bells and whistles than a lower priced model. So... Panasonic biased owner or not- It's a good machine so far. I've had it about 2 months? I will try to update as it receives more use. As far as the value- it is a Panasonic- which I rate in the upper middle range of cost for good quality product. Many times I end up over researching and over thinking items like this and end up NOT purchasing it. Because I am biased and love Panasonic, I decided to take the plunge because it was on sale, but I also had a $50 desertcart gift card. Probably not important, but that is my buying logic. lol I guess I am saying that knowing what I know about Panasonic brand and this specific machine- it would have been worth the purchase full price or not. I'm just glad it was on sale, and I had a $50 gift card... I've been buying a lot of flour and yeast lately. lol Update: October 2014- This machine has held up well. I have used several more modes and really have tried to make it a priority to use the longer cycle for basic bread. You just can't deny that the true process of letting the bread fully rise without extra yeast-makes a much better loaf. I've also learned that good quality flour makes a lot of difference. The French Bread from the manual was TO DIE FOR!!! AMAZING! But it's a 6 hour cycle but so worth it! I've also started to weigh out my flour. I've learned it's a bit more accurate- when you don't want to let the weather dictate your baking. It's fascinating. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this machine. It more than meets my needs. It's allowed me to be more experimental in the bread department. I would still recommend this machine. Update: October 2018- Still going strong. I have since acquired a fancy and powerful Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook. It's great for big jobs. But this bread machine I still break it out for dinner rolls, pizza dough and a single lovely loaf of bread. I still highly recommend this product and brand. It's still going strong.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have a dough cycle**
A: Yes it does have a dough cycle. I love this machine and make pizza dough. Danish pastry dough. focaccia dough, and French bread dough. The rest cycle allows any refrigerated ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing, that way the yeast is better activated.
I’ve had the same model since 2012 (from Amazon) and I love it more now than I did when I first got it.

**Q: Most of the recipes in the book call for 4 7/16 cups of flour. I have never seen flour measured like this. Is there a better way to measure the flour?**
A: The best, most accurate way to measure ingredients (especially flour) is by weight in GRAMS using a digital scale.A FANTASTIC tool for converting flour amounts to weights is at:http://www.traditionaloven.com/conversions_of_measures/flour_volume_weight.htmlUsing this tool you can enter any amount, even fractions, and get an accurate volume/weight conversion for every type of flour.  You can get accurate conversions for any bizarre fraction you can think of.  Using your 4 7/16 cups of bread flour as an example, the conversion calculator will tell you the correct weight is 563.56 grams.  For another example, if your recipe called for 4 32/52 cups of bread flour, the conversion calculator will tell you the correct weight is 586.15 grams.

**Q: what size loaf?**
A: You can make three loaf sizes. XL, L, and M.  The Medium size loaf is about 1.5 lb.  Large is about 2 lbs and XLarge is about 2.5 lb loaf. Since the loaf pan remains the same size a larger loaf is mostly just taller.  I usually stick with the Medium since larger slices won't toast in the toaster (They are too tall!).  The pan measures 7.5" x 6".  I have to say that I have had really great success with this machine. I don't use bread flour just unbleached all purpose flour and my bread is beautiful.

**Q: The breadmaker rests for up to an hour after starting. What is this for? Seems like the wet and dry ingredienats sitting for an hour would make paste.**
A: Nope doesn't make paste and like others say here it seems to allow ingredients to stabilize temps. Good for me 'cause our water is real cold, and I keep my gluten flour and yeast in the freezer. I think this rest period is key to the excellent quality bread I get from this - as long as I don't forget the yeast. I've had my machine for 7 years. Love it.

It more than meets my needs. It's allowed me to be more experimental in the bread department. I would still recommend this machine. Update: October 2018- Still going strong. I have since acquired a fancy and powerful Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook. It's great for big jobs. But this bread machine I still break it out for dinner rolls, pizza dough and a single lovely loaf of bread. I still highly recommend this product and brand. It's still going strong.
