Amazon.com Review
The Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme is a state-of-the-art bread maker that combines a range of automatic controls with easily tailored options. Its 10 cycles are designed for making everything from wheat bread to cinnamon rolls and can also be put to work for non-bread items like cakes, fruit jam, and homemade meatloaf. Versatile controls let you use the dough-only function or make a loaf from start to finish, and handy programming options include a sourdough starter, a 2-hour quick-baking cycle, and three crust settings. The timer allows you to set all controls up to 13 hours ahead, and three memory settings store your most-used recipes. PBuilt with a durable plastic body, the Home Bakery Supreme has many structural plusses, including twin kneading paddles, a broad viewing window, and an angled control panel. A welcome alternative to the cylinder-shaped bread maker pans, the nonstick baking pan here turns out traditionally shaped, 2-pound loaves. Streamlined and manageable, the unit measures 16-3/4 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches and comes with a detailed manual, a recipe booklet, and a how-to video. Zojirushi includes a limited 1-year warranty. I--Emily Bedard/IP BFrom the Manufacturer/BP B What Makes the Home Bakery Supreme Special?/BP table table border="0" cellpadding="8" tr td img src= http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/kitchen/detailpages/smallappliances/zoj-homebake1.jpg /td td Bread made in Zojirushi's Home Bakery Supreme appeals to all your senses. The horizontal shape makes it look like an oven-baked loaf, and the crust control function allows you to select light, medium, or dark crust. The two kneading blades knead the ingredients more thoroughly to make it taste better, and waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread has never been easier with the timer function. You can also prepare the dough in the Home Bakery Supreme and shape it yourself to bake in the oven. P The loaf of bread you bake at home should look like a regular loaf of bread. Unlike other bread makers that produce vertical loaves, Zojirushi's Home Bakery Supreme bakes a large traditional-shaped 2-pound loaf, so the bread comes out the way it should, horizontally, and doesn't have to be sliced on its side. The Home Bakery Supreme makes it easy to prepare and enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked all-natural breads in the convenience of your own home. Never again will you need to wonder if that store-bought loaf contains preservatives or additives. /td /tr /table P B For Beginners and Experts/BP table table border="0" cellpadding="8" tr td Not only is the Home Bakery Supreme an excellent breadmaker for beginning bakers, it's also a useful tool for expert bakers. Because it controls the temperature while the dough is rising, it takes the guesswork out of the leavening process. Additionally, the two kneading blades and the enclosed temperature-controlled environment knead the yeast dough better than any other method. Whether you're baking in the scorching sun or during a blizzard, the Home Bakery Supreme will give you consistent results. P All the bread cycles on the Home Bakery Supreme automatically preheat the ingredients to bring them to room temperature. However, if you find it unnecessary, you have the "Preheat Off" option to save time and immediately begin the kneading process. /td td img src= http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/kitchen/detailpages/smallappliances/zoj-homebake2.jpg /td /tr /table P B Two Are Better than One/BP table table border="0" cellpadding="8" tr td img src= http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/kitchen/detailpages/smallappliances/zoj-homebake3.jpg /td td The Home Bakery Supreme features two kneading blades instead of one to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly kneaded. Additionally, the two blades knead yeast dough better than any other method. Not only does thorough kneading make the bread taste better, but it also prevents unsightly flour on the side of the bread. /td /tr /table P BA Host of Amazing Features/BPUL li BRecipes/B BRNot only does the Home Bakery Supreme come with an instruction video, it also comes with lots of recipes. The recipes range from basic white bread to raisin bread, whole wheat and fat-free bread, pizza, pretzels, cinnamon-raisin rolls, strawberry jam, chocolate cake, sourdough bread, and Zojirushi's original Meatloaf Miracle. More recipes are available at Zojirushi's Web site at www.zojirushi.com. P liBEasy Gluten-Free Baking/B BR If you are allergic to gluten, you can make gluten-free bread in the Home Bakery Supreme. No more rock-hard gluten-free bread bought at the store. Experiment to create your own new recipes. P li BSome Like It Sour/B BRSourdough starter is a form of the original "leaven" for bread. Traditional sourdough starter usually takes 7 to 10 days to prepare, but the Home Bakery Supreme comes with a Sourdough Starter cycle that prepares light sourdough starter in 2 hoursP li BLarge Viewing Window/B BRThe large viewing window allows you to watch the kneading, rising, and baking processes, so you can make adjustments if you find it necessary. If you need a better look, lifting the lid to peek won't stop the kneading or baking operation. Just be sure to close the lid when you are done looking.P li BWake Up to the Smell of Freshly Baked Bread/B BRIt has never been easier with the 13-hour programmable timer. Just add the ingredients and set the timer before going to bed, and by the time that alarm clock sounds, you will smell the bread waiting for you. If you hit snooze, don't worry. The Home Bakery Supreme also has a Keep Warm feature to keep that bread warm up to an hour after baking. P li BBeat the Clock/B BRIn a hurry? Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked bread in just 2 hours with the Quick Bake cycle. P li BMore than Just Bread/B BR The Home Bakery Supreme can do more than just bake bread. It has a cycle for jam, cake, and sourdough starter. It also works as a portable oven, so you can make other dishes such as meatloaf or lasagna without heating up your larger oven. img src= http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/kitchen/detailpages/smallappliances/zoj-homebake4.jpg align="right"P li BEasy Creativity/B BRIf you like being creative, you will love the Home Bakery Supreme. The Home Made Menu function allows you to adjust each cycle to your preference and remember it, so you can make that perfect bread. If not bread, cake. Or meatloaf. Or anything you wish. Invent your own original recipes and see what you can make in the Home Bakery Supreme. With the three memory settings in the Home Made Menu setting, you have plenty of space for many of your favorites./UL P B Zojirushi Quality and Innovation/BP For nearly a century, Zojirushi (pronounced zoh-gee-ROO-shee) has established itself as a company that uses cutting-edge technology to bring comfort, ease, vitality, and affluence into the lives of its customers worldwide.

5 out of 5 stars It is indeed a good breadmaking machine.   December 2, 2008

Before I purchased this bread maker, I read a lot of reviews online for different products. Thanks to the people who offered their opinions, I finally bought this machine. br / br /From my experience of bread making so far, I am quite happy with this machine. It is quiet and good looking comparing with other models that my friends have. There is only one thing that I need to find out whether it is just this machine or normal for all: the top crust is ALWAYS much lighter than the sides. So, if I choose "light" for the crust, the top of the bread will come out with the impression "undercooked" even though the sides are perfect for my call. I just wish it could be a little bit darker. But still, I like this machine.

Years ago my nephew loaned me his Zojirushi bread machine, it made good bread, I loved it. Then I had to return the machine to him. I then bought a Welbilt bread machine. I never got a good loaf out it. I have now purchased the Zojirushi BBCC-X20. I have made about 5 or 6 loaves and not a bad loaf in the bunch. I will NEVER-EVER buy a different brand of bread machine again. It's simple to use and simple to clean and the bread tastes GREAT. If you're looking for a bread machine, I really recommend this one.


5 out of 5 stars Best one yet   November 28, 2008

after trying a couple of other bread makers the Zojirushi BBCCX20 has proven to be the best. As for the "add beeps" it is not as bad as some people say. After testing the crust setting we found that if you use the light setting it comes out perfect. We have made several breads with fruit and it does a good job of mixing. So far we have not had any bad bread and we are making a loaf atleast 3 times a week. The bread does come out pretty easy with a couple of shakes of the pan. The only draw back we could come up with is that my wife likes to lift the lid and take a peek, It would have been nice if they added an interior light so you would not have to lift the lid. Otherwise I would HIGHLY reccommend this bread machine!

This is going to be long, but I hope it will help someone else who is having trouble with their Zoji. br / br /I have been baking bread for years, and it's been a challenge to find a new bread machine. I literally wore out a GE breadmaker after almost 10 years of use, and was disappointed to learn they no longer make them. First try, I purchased a Breadman Ultimate, and took it back after using it twice - it was *very* poorly made, the pan would not stay locked in the clips and it banged around horribly during mixing. The bread turned out ok, but even hubby said it would not last and the racket it made was unreal. You needed ear plugs just to stay in the same room with it. br / br /I really wanted a machine that baked a more traditional size loaf, and initially balked on the price of the Zoji. However, after the disaster with the Breadman, I decided there had to be a better option. br / br /The Zojirushi is very solidly built - the pan is probably twice as thick as the Breadman Ultimate, and even thicker than my old GE model. The unit itself is large, so be prepared to sacrifice some counter space, but it's heavy enough that I can't see it taking a dive off the edge of the counter either. Another huge plus is that it is EXTREMELY quiet! I never thought a bread machine could ever work almost silently, but this one does. I had no trouble talking on the phone while it was running (you could never do that with the Breadman Ultimate!). br / br /However (yes, you knew that was coming), I've had to do some tweaking to get it to make decent bread. I have read almost every single review on this breadmaker, and for those who give it glowing accolades right out of the box, all I can say is that you must have had a machine that was programmed better than mine. I think it's arrogant to assume that it is always the fault of the user with this breadmaker rather than the machine itself. I have owned a bread machine for almost 10 years, and even I almost returned this one initially and called it trash. br / br /I watched the video that came with it, and also read the instructions. I used the Zoji recipe for their basic white bread first, and it turned out "ok" - but not great. Definitely not what I was expecting. br / br /So I decided to use my tried and true Golden Egg Bread recipe that I've made literally hundreds of times over the years. The results were appalling! The bread did not rise as it should, was almost burned on the bottom, and the top looked like it had never seen heat - it was a sickly pale color (and this was on the medium crust setting for basic white bread). I could not believe this highly rated machine turned out a loaf this bad! br / br /I thought I'd try it one more time just to see if it was a fluke, and got the exact same results. One thing different this time though was that I paid attention to how much the machine kneaded the dough, and how long the rise cycles were. I finally decided THAT is the problem with the machine - the timing is way off as it is originally programmed. br / br /Thankfully, I kept my old GE user manual and it had the times for each cycle listed in the book. I used the HomeMade setting and programmed my own times/cycles into it, plus turned one of the rise times OFF completely (why there are three on the Zoji, I have no clue). As the original Basic White Bread cycle is set up, it does not knead the dough long enough, does not rise as it should, and bakes WAY too long. br / br /Yesterday I used my own program for the first time and made a wonderful loaf of bread! It even browned on top. :o) br / br /If you are having the same trouble with your machine, get out your instructions and manually program the following into the Memory (under HomeMade): br / br /Turn PREHEAT OFF - this is a waste of time and electricity if your ingredients are at proper temperature. br / br /Set the KNEAD cycle to 30 minutes (my old machine had 33, but 30 minutes is the max Zoji will allow). br / br /Set the first RISE to 25 minutes. br / br /Set the second RISE to 64 minutes. br / br /Leave the third rise turned OFF. br / br /Set the BAKING time to 40 minutes for light crust, 55 minutes for medium crust, and 65 minutes for dark crust. br / br /I left the KEEP WARM turned off, but that's just my preference. br / br /You may have to tweak these settings just a bit for your own recipes, but this worked beautifully for me - 100% better than what the Basic program runs. br / br /I did remove the paddles at the beginning of the 2nd rise and gently shaped the loaf back into place. It wasn't lop-sided and was very smooth. I think the lack of proper kneading is a major culprit on the cracked tops of some loaves mentioned. I also take a plastic spatula and scrape the corners as it's mixing just to be sure it all gets incorporated. Sometimes water/flour adjustments have to be made too - you normally can't just throw it all in and walk off without checking the consistency. It shouldn't be dry and crumbly, but it also shouldn't be so sticky that it sticks to your fingers when you touch it. You develop a sense over time of what good dough feels like. br / br /For dough only recipes, I plan on programming a 30 minute knead and 60 minute rise. br / br /Overall, I'm pleased with the machine with the above changes, so I'm giving it 4 stars. I think it's sturdy, well-built, and above par for most bread machines I've seen on the market. However, I do think it needs the ability to customize the temperature, and a pause button would be helpful. It has the potential to be a great machine with some changes. I hope it holds up for many, many years after the high price tag on it.


4 out of 5 stars Good way to start making bread!   November 22, 2008

I used to make bread the old fashioned way every Sunday morning, but being retired has shaken up my old routine. I bought this machine and found it simple to use; so far have made about 8 loaves of various breads, all good, if frankly, not as good as plain old up-to-the-elbows in flour made bread. But good enough to beat the almost $5 a loaf "rustic" breads in the local market. Easy to use and clean up. Takes some practice, but that's easy. The best part is when it's done, with butter and home-made jam.
