Neretva Bread Maker 20-IN-1, Dual Heater 2LB Bread Machine Stainless Steel Bread Maker Machine Nonstick Ceramic Pan Compact for Gluten Free/Sourdough/Whole Wheat Bread/Yogurt, Breadmaker Recipe-Green

I absolutely love my Neretva Bread Maker—not only does it work flawlessly, but the color options make it a stylish addition to my kitchen! I chose the pastel green, and it adds such a fun, retro vibe to my countertop. But the real magic happened the first time I used it for an overnight bake—I woke up to the incredible aroma of fresh bread filling my home, and it was like stepping into a bakery! The settings are easy to navigate, and the bread comes out perfectly golden with a soft, fluffy texture inside. If you’re looking for a bread maker that’s both aesthetically pleasing and delivers amazing homemade bread, this one is a must-have!

After using the Neretva bread machine for a little over a month, I can say I love it and I recommend it. My only caution is that immediately after the baking finishes, if you want to turn off the warmer, you have to hold down the button rather than just pushing it. That button is rather warm, so I use a hot pad or a wash cloth. It doesn't burn your finger without using something, but it's not comfortable for me.Other than that minor thing, I love this little machine. It says it will bake 1.5 or 2 pound loaves, but I have successfully made 1 pound loaves in it. I set it for the 1.5 (750 gram) loaf size, and my 1 pound loaves come out great. I really like having the dual heating elements. I think that helps bake the bread evenly in the tall container.I got the silver stainless steel, and it looks great in my small kitchen sitting on the countertop. It's not huge, so it is a machine I can leave out, and it's not in my way.Many people think they won't have time to bake bread even in a machine, but this could not be further from the truth. It's much easier than you think. You just measure out your ingredients, put them in the loaf pan in the order recommended, set your settings, turn on the machine, and walk away. Three hours later you have a nice loaf of bread that slides out of the pan very easily.A great companion to this machine - or any machine - is the The No-Fuss Bread Machine Cookbook: Hands-Off Recipes for Perfect Homemade Bread by Michelle Anderson. Her book gives ingredient measurements for 1 pound, 1.5 pound, and 2 pound loaves. It really is a "No-Fuss" cookbook. It's well worth the price to get this book, as the Neretva manual is not very detailed. The one pound recipes in the No-Fuss cookbook are the ones I use in my Neretva.I highly recommend this machine! If something ever happens to it, I will buy another one to replace it immediately. I'll never be without a bread machine again!

This bread machine is so stinking cute in person. I’m not someone that likes to cook or even bake much, but I was inspired to look into bread machines after my brother in law brought fresh baked bread to Easter. He was telling me how easy bread machines are. So I searched amazon and found this adorable one. And it’s true, it’s sooooo easy! You literally put the ingredients directly into the machine, hit a couple buttons, and a few hours later you have bread! No dirty bowls, spoons, or anything! It comes with a small instruction manual with some recipes in it. Very easy to follow. I did go ahead and buy a bread machine recipe book separately with more recipes. My first 3 loafs have turned out perfect!

Seems to work well for kneading and proofing. I mainly use my bread maker for kneading and proofing the dough for Finnish Pulla, a coffee bread, and then braid my dough and let it rise a second time elsewhere in the house. My old bread maker had a dough cycle that kneaded and then proofed the dough. This bread maker has separate cycles…first you put it on the knead cycle and then you put it on the “fermentation” (proofing/rising) cycle. The “fermentation” cycle is adjustable, for timing the length of the cycle, but appears that you can only set it for 1 1/2 hour max and then need to reset (apparently you can reset the cycle as many times as you need until it is proofed to your liking). There are two “dough” cycles: Toast dough and Pizza dough. According to the manual, neither cycle includes “fermentation”. I have not used the bread maker for any of the other 20 cycles available. Appears to be stable and perform as advertised.`````
