Thread: Zojirushi x20

Cheryl, I would never knock the old-fashioned methods, generally I like to use them for most cooking, but I do appreciate the ease of the bread machine. However, if you don't think you'll use it much, let me tell you that Zojirushis have very good re-sale value, and if you have the x20 model you can likely get $100+ for it on eBay. But I'd keep it!

To me, it's just quicker to make it the old fashioned way...before I got the Zojirushi, I had another one (different brand) I'd won from King Arthur Flour about 5 years ago. I used it about 3 times and only to mix & proof my dough; I never baked in it. So when I got this one, I gave the other one to my mom who put it to good use. I do love to bake & have been wanting to make some whole grain bread lately so I just...

I just got my Zojirushi x20 and I am looking for recipes as I have never owned a bread machine. Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for recipes that don't contain dry milk.

Rose Levey Berenbaum's Bread Bible has every recipe written for different methods, including the bread machine. I haven't tried it for rustic bread but she uses it mostly for kneading. But, I do like my bread machine to make the dough for any breads that use eggs, milk, etc. when I don't have a lot of time. I take it out and shape the dough, rise and then bake. I can't remember the last time I baked in it.
