    Cuisinart Bread Maker Recipes

    Date: April 20, 2021 by Christian Guzman • This post may contain affiliate links. See Privacy Policy below.

    Try these Cuisinart Bread Maker Recipes for delicious homemade bread in only about two hours with very little preparation.

    Everyone loves homemade bread but it’s hard to find the time to make it by hand. Even finding room and time for rising the dough can sometimes be a challenge.

    A bread machine is one of those beautiful machines that allows you to throw everything in the pan and forget it.

    If you don’t have a bread machine, have a look at this Cuisinart Bread Machine (aff link) that we use. We’ve had it since 2013 and it still works great.

    For more information, check out our Cuisinart Bread Maker Recipes.

    Check out the Cuisinart Web Story.

    How do you use a Cuisinart bread maker?

    I like to proof my yeast first. This involves placing very warm water in a glass measuring cup, adding the yeast and something sweet like sugar or honey to help it grow.

    This layer of foam lets you know that your yeast is active.

    I prefer to proof the yeast first because I don’t want to get all the way through a loaf of bread only to discover that the dough doesn’t rise. It’s not always absolutely necessary but it helps to know ahead of time.

    Add your ingredients to the bread pan in the following order:

    • Liquids
    • Dry ingredients
    • Salt

    Liquid Ingredients

    Your liquid ingredients will include the yeast mixture, oil or eggs. It could include honey or other flavorings.

    Dry Ingredients

    This is usually flour and could include things like vital wheat gluten or oats. If you’re using butter, cut it into small pieces then place it on top of the flour instead of in the liquid ingredients.

    Salt and Garlic

    I recommend that you add salt or garlic as final ingredients. You don’t want these two to get too close to the yeast since it can kill it before it even has a chance to rise for you.

    Baking in the Bread Machine

    I’m usually using the dough feature of the bread machine. The bread maker is equipped to do the rise and baking all in the same pan, but I prefer shaping my loaves manually then finishing the baking in the oven.

    Knowing your options just means that you have to make the choice ahead of time. Either way, it’s all good.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you use regular flour in a bread machine?

    I prefer to use bread flour in my recipes because it has the highest protein level. Higher protein levels produce the highest quality bread but you can still get a tasty bread with all purpose flour. It will have a different consistency and may not rise as much.

    What’s the difference between bread flour and bread machine flour?

    Nothing. Bread machine flour and bread flour are the same thing, with different labeling for promotion and marketing.

    Why is my breadmaker bread so dense and heavy?

    This may be the result of not proofing the yeast so the yeast may not be viable. It could be placing the salt too close to the yeast, killing it before it rises. Try using bread flour instead of all purpose flour for a higher rise and less density.

    Do you have to use bread machine yeast in a bread machine?

    No, I use regular active dry yeast in all my bread machine recipes.

    Adding Vital Wheat Gluten

    If you are using a low protein flour like all purpose flour or wheat flour, you can use vital wheat gluten to add more protein for a better quality bread.

    You can find details on how to use vital wheat gluten at The Kitchn.

    I use our Cuisinart bread machine at least once every week. It’s usually to make pizza dough but I’ve been getting more creative with it lately.

        It’s great for making bread without heating up the entire house. 🙂

      Well, after going into lockdown pretty much all of last year, bread making became quite a big thing in our house. But now that life for us has gone back to some normality, we just don’t have the time and I have been toying with the idea of getting a bread maker. I do like cuisinart as a brand too…… you may just have convinced me!

      In the recipe book that came with machine, it states putting yeast Last, in a well made in the flour…. I’m going to proof it your way, thanks

        I prefer it this way because I’ve had issues with my yeast before. It doesn’t always grow the way it should and I like to find out first. Thank you for visiting!

      My Cuisinart worked perfectly when it was new and I used my old Oster breadmaker recipes – simply because I knew them by heart. This week, 2 loaves have gone into the garbage. I used Cuisinart recipe first. Can you explain to me why all their recipes put SALT immediately after WATER? I was taught to keep salt away from yeast as long as possible! The loaf was half the usual size, sunken on top, very heavy, dense, not chewable, AND tasted bitter. Below the paddle – where a tiny bit of bread usually collects (but looks and tastes like the rest of a good loaf) I found a greasy BLACK ring of “charcoal!” The whole loaf had a slight charcoal taste. My next loaf was from the old Oster book. No charcoal this time but the loaf was even smaller than the previous one. Sunken top, like cutting a 2 x 4 with a steak knife. The inside was slightly breadlike. What is going on here? If it’s a Cuisinart malfunction, I don’t want to waste any more ingredients to test it.

        We’ve had this same Cuisinart for many years (over a decade, I think) and never had a problem, but I don’t follow the instructions provided by Cuisinart manual. I use my own tested recipes. I always proof the yeast first. And, I always put the salt in last. I have never baked the bread in the machine, though. Even when making a plain white loaf, I prefer the shape when putting it in a loaf pan better. If you have some uneven cooking at the paddle, you may want to remove the dough so you can remove the paddle, put the dough back in and continue. I hope that helps. Thank you for visiting!

      Your recipes sound wonderful but I do have some questions. What setting are you using when preparing your bread? It is my understanding that you do not let your bread bake in the machine. Do you do both rides outside of the machine as well as the bake? Thank you for your reply. CB

        Thanks so much for writing! I have never baked the bread in the Cuisinart machine itself. I use only the dough setting which has two kneads. There is resting time after the first short knead and the full rise after the second knead. Then, I remove the dough, shape it and let it rise about 30 minutes before baking. I hope that helps.
