How to Make Great-smelling Bread in the Bread Machine!

Fluffy White Bread Machine RecipeI love baking with my kiddos, and a bread machine is an easy way to get them in on some baking action! When I was young, I loved to watch my grandpa make fresh bread. The aroma of his baking bread was divine, and I could hardly wait to take a bite of his delicious creations. Looking back, I wish younger me would have had the foresight to learn his tricks for the perfect loaf (apparently, I was too busy eating the dough)! February is his birthday month, and although he is no longer on this side of heaven, I think of him every time I smell fresh, warm bread!  I am excited to share how my kids and I create that sweet smell of fresh-baked bread in our own home!

It’s true that bread machines leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the appearance of a loaf, but my two-year-old couldn’t care less about that. (Truthfully, the bread is usually cut and enjoyed before anyone would have the time to notice its shape, anyway.) Both of my children thoroughly enjoy dumping in the ingredients and making their own bread, and the smile on their faces as they watch others enjoy their creation and their declarations of “I made that  bread!” followed by, “Do you like it?” are priceless!

This is our favorite recipe for the bread machine. It gives off that sweet aroma of baking bread with very little effort!

Follow along as my little lady shows how to make your very own great-smelling loaf! πŸ™‚

    I am obsessed with our bread machine – we have had it 14 years now and never buy bread. SO many things to make. Love it!

    Homemade bread is the best! I’ve never tried making it in a bread machine though – looks good!

      I agree homemade bread is awesome! The texture is a little different with a bread machine but the ease and speed make up for it! πŸ™‚

    Our bread machine didn’t make the last move with us. This post reminded me of how much I loved having the smell of fresh baking bread, I just might have to get a new bread machine in the very near future!

    I love fresh bread but have never been successful making it! Does this work with gluten free flour do you know? You’re making me want to try a bread machine again! You make it look so easy and delish!!

      I am not totally sure. πŸ™ I do know you would need to add xanthan gum or use a flour that already has some in it. As with most gluten free baked goods it might be a little more dense than regular bread. I am guessing you are probably used to that though! Thank you for checking out this recipe! πŸ™‚

    I am a complete failure at bread machine baking or any baking with yeast. I admire anyone who can do it.

    Hey, I am new to making homemade bread with the bread maker,my family actually got it as a gift from my grandmother, I just want to ask if you can give me some pointers on how I can make it taste delicious for my family.

      What a fun gift! Honestly this is our favorite bread recipe for the bread machine! We also like to use this Betty Crocker recipe for dinner rolls! These take a bit more effort as the bread machine makes the dough and you shape and bake them in the oven. They turned out so light and fluffy for us though and tasty too! πŸ™‚
