Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Consider what type of loaf you want. Most bread machines make a vertical loaf, but you can find models that make horizontal loaves. The only difference is that the horizontal models cost more.

  2. Step 2

    Look for a model that has several features. Several features allow you to get the most from your bread machine. You'll be able to make dough and then shape it into rolls and even choose the darkness of the loaf.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a model that does more than bread. Some bread machines will even make jams and cakes. The may be something you want to consider if you'd like to have homemade jam with your homemade bread.

  4. Step 4

    Find a model that is easy to use. As with any other appliance, you won't use it if you find the instructions difficult to understand. Instead, look for a model that can quickly be turned on and set to fix your favorite baked goods.

  5. Step 5

    Check for reviews. When you find a model you love, be sure to read reviews on that model. Online you can find several websites that will give you very detailed reviews of all the pros and cons.

Tips & Warnings
  • Large bread machines can also bake small loaves.
  • Another great feature to look for is a delayed bake setting. This way you can enjoy fresh bread for breakfast.
