Oster Bread Maker with ExpressBake | 2 Pound Capacity

I couldn’t as for more, it’s perfect. Cleaning is a breeze, it’s reliable, reasonably quiet, easy to use. I have 2 Osters and both are awesome. Lots of different functions for dough (think pizza), cake almost any bakery thing you can think of. I Love both of mine.

I’ve never had a bread machine. I’ve made bread by hand many times. This gadget is not a dump and punch way to make bread. It takes exact measurements, no substitutions, quality ingredients, all to get a bucket shaped loaf of pale blonde bread. Read directions, get a good cookbook, and maybe use the dough setting. I take dough out after first rise, shape loaf and place in pan. After second rise I bake in my oven. Good luck!

My 20 year old Oster bread maker finally died. I figured “Why not stay with a good brand?” So glad I did. This new iteration has some improvements ( noise, ease of removal) and works just as well. I make bread 1-2 times/week so need a reliable machine.

Pros: price, size, LED screen is easy to see, makes great bread. Cons: the mix-ins dispenser worked once, then I couldn't get it out to clean it, then when I did get it out I couldn't get it back in properly so it would work. I put in a request for help from Oster and haven't heard back. Also, the cookbook gives you the timing for the various stages of breadmaking based on a 1.5-lb. loaf and that's not always the size I want to make. And the timing is listed in countdown minutes, where zero = done, and it can be tricky to figure out what time the loaf you are making is going to be finished. And now that the mix-ins dispenser isn't working, I have to figure out when to pour my seeds and nuts in, and that's tricky, too. I've been using the No-Fuss cookbook and getting good results. NOTE: I have two bread machines, one with a horizontal/rectangular pan and this one with the vertical/square pan. Square is better for me. The more dough you put in, the taller it gets, and then you can lay it on its side and cut beautiful, perfectly square slices that are just right for sandwiches and toast. Taller = more slices, which I like. In my rectangular pan, the smaller loaves are too short for sandwiches, and the tall loaves are too tall - only the 1.5-lb. loaves are good for sandwiches. Don't be fooled by the pictures with a lot of the rectangular machines - the loaves don't get longer as they get bigger. They cannot. The pan is 7" long, and it doesn't grow. The loaves can only get taller.

Update: I purchased King Arthur gluten free bread flour bc the King Arthur measure for measure is for non yeast recipes. The 2nd picture is the King Arthur loaf with gluten free bread flour-just about the same as the 1st. This machine does not make gluten free bread in my experience of 3 attempts. I made a 2nd loaf of basic bread which was wonderful again but if you are looking for a bread machine for gluten free bread, I would not recommend this machine. I bought this bread maker specifically bc there is a gluten free bread setting. 2 attempts came out exactly the same-a huge hard lump. After the 1st attempt, I bought fresher ingredients just to be sure but got the exact same results. I used King Arthur measure for measure gluten free flour. I did make a basic loaf w/ organic flour which came out phenomenal. However the point of the purchase was to make loaves of gluten free bread. The 2 stars are for the organic loaf. I’m hesitant on trying the other settings bc throwing away 8 cups of flour among other ingredients is a huge waste. I don’t have faith in this product.

Great little bread machine! I’ve bean using mine for almost 2years, with no problems. I mostly use the dough setting, because prefer baking mine in the oven. That would be my preference with any bread machine. It’s easy to use and does the job. 👍

I use this bread maker several times a week. Mostly to make dough. It has a delay timer so I can put ingredients in, set the timer and have dough to work with at the time I want it. It will bake a great loaf of bread also, I just don't like the square shape. I also use it to make yogurt on a weekly basis and it makes great no fuss yogurt. The machine has other functions like jam. I've not tried that one yet.

I love this!

The product came in good condition. For the price, I can't go wrong. It's way cheaper than brand new and I got an item same as brand new.

Un muy buen producto. Requiere precisión y paciencia para encontrar el punto ideal de las recetas. Muy recomendable si quieres pan fresco todo el tiempo.

We tried making bread for Christmas and it was not great. The bread did not rise as it should have. We used all fresh ingredients and followed the directions, still the bread was not great. We used to have a Black and Decker bread machine and this one doesn’t come close.
