I recently bought an inexpensive bread machine. I decided to make rye bread in it the first time. I used 50% BRM Dark Rye flour and 50% BRM Artisan flour. That's a pretty high rye fraction, but the loaf came out absolutely fantastic! Crisp crust, perfect crumb and a wonderful flavor! This is at altitude, too. I've been buying Bob's Red Mill products for years, mostly cereal grains, but now I'm a true believer in your flours as well!
Hi Carrie! Please email Customer Service at customerservice@bobsredmill.com.
Hi, how do I made bread in a bread machine with the grain free paleo baking flower?
We don’t have a grain free bread recipe for our Paleo Baking Flour currently. Most paleo bread recipes will be “quick breads” ( like zucchini bread or banana bread) that use baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent. We are working towards testing and posting new recipes, but for now all of the recipes that use this blend can be found here on our website.
You may be able to find additional recipes online through Paleo-specific blogs and websites as well. If you try paleo breads in your bread machine, you’ll likely need to use a “quick bread” setting instead of a traditional bread setting.
Can I use your artisan bread flour instead of AP flour in my bread machine recipe?? Thank you
Hi Becky - Yes, you can use Artisan Bread Flour in place of AP Flour. Happy baking!
My sister gave me a WestBent Americans Best bread machine I ordered some Bob's Red Mill 10 grain bread. What do I do?
Thanks, Will
Hi Will - Here are the instructions for baking our 10 Grain Bread Mix in a Bread Machine:
For 1 1/2 lb bread machines: Put 1 1/4 cups warm water into machine. Locate and remove the enclosed yeast packet. Add bread mix, 3 Tbsp Canola Oil, and yeast packet. Put machine on basic white bread or medium setting. Turn on machine. Now, enjoy the best whole grain bread you've ever made!
I have a recipe for gluten free bread in breadmaker with the 1 to 1 flour Don't recall where where i found it. all grease spotted, well-used. comes out right every time. perfect crumb. 1 1/4 C water 1/4 C oil 3 eggs 1 1/4 tp salt 3 Tbsp honey/sugar 3 1/4 C 1 to 1 2 tsp yeast. I bake on Quick bread cycle as i have an older Zojurishi w no gluten cycce
Hi, could you tell me what 1 to 1 GF flour brand you use for that recipe you have on Bob's red mill and do you use a 2lb bread maker
Hi. I just got a bread machine and it calls for bread machine yeast. I have Bob’s active dry yeast. Your package says to proof yeast. Do I need to do that for my bread machine or just put it in last on top of the flour? If I have to proof it, do I put it in first with my water? I had no idea there were different types of yeast. Uugggh. Thanks
Hi Maria, it looks like "bread machine yeast" is typically instant yeast, which does not need to be proofed. If using our Active Dry Yeast instead, it will need to be proofed. Take some of the liquid from your recipe measurements and proof the yeast. Once it's bubbly/active you can add it to your machine.
Hello I have a bag of your gluten-free flour. I don't have xanthan gum but do have ground flax meal to use instead.
My question is can I follow my bread machine recipe and have it work with the with above info on using flax instead?
Hi Maria - I'd recommend this recipe instead: Gluten Free Sandwich Bread in the Bread Machine
I use your Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 for pizza dough and I made a wonderful loaf of GF bread in our Zojirushi BB PDC20 the other day . It had called for water and powdered milk, but instead I used milk heated 110 degrees with 2 T of honey to bloom it . I have lost the reciep could you please help me ?
Hi Marsha - that doesn't sound familiar, we don't have any bread machine recipes that use our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour on our website. You might be thinking of a recipe that uses our Gluten Free All Purpose flour. You can browse those recipes by clicking the link below and browsing the Recipes tab.

I have a new bread machine, Hamilton Beach with a gluten free cycle, I brought your bread making mix flour, now how do I make the bread , it says nothing on the mix about using a bread machine. Or on the bread machines info book.
Your best bet is to contact Hamilton Beach and ask them since they have a programmed gluten free setting. They will know how to translate the instructions on the bag to what you need in their machine.
I just got my first bread machine and would like to make bread using your Unbleached Artsean Bread Flour. I prefer wholesome bread like Whole Wheat, Oats, Rye etc. rather than white bread. Where can I find breach machine recipes using your flours?
Hi Melissa - You can find them all linked below on our Recipe Site! :) Happy baking!

Hi Sally - Yes, you can use a sourdough starter instead of yeast in bread recipes. I'd recommend taking a look at the link below from Cultures for Health. When revising a recipe to include sourdough starter, you'll need to take into account the hydration level of the starter and your recipe along with the health/activity of your starter.

Very disappointed your gluten free bread machine recipes Did Not say the dough would be as wet as cake batter
Very disappointed!

I do have Panasonic SD-BT64P bread machine. I am really curious why none of the bread machine makers create a 5 minutes break after the final kneading; so that customers will be able to remove the kneading paddle/blade safely and if needed reshape the loaf and bake it. None of us like the ugly gape the paddle creates at the bottom of the baked loaf. It is about time some manufacturer need to come up with the feature.
Some high-end machines like mine allow you to program to add a wait time (or a second rise time) for removing paddles. If you are able to afford one that does it’s really great. Or you can just watch to see when kneading is done and your machine might let you take them out while it starts heating up. Good luck!
I have the Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix. Can I use it in a breadmaker? The directions are for hand prep only. Are there any adaptations I must make to the recipe? BTW: I lived in Milwaukie from 1989-1991! On Llewellyn Street!
Hi Marlene, yes you can make our Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread in the bread machine. Use ingredients as written and use a 1-1/2 lb bread machine, use a cycle with a 10 minute mix/knead, a 60 minute rise, and a 90 minute bake or until an internal temperature of 210°F has been reached. Only one rise is needed for gluten-free breads.
When using my bread machine to make the Gluten Free Bread, do I set to "gluten free" and 1 1/2 loaf? Thank you
Used the Bob's Red Mill Artisan Bread Flour in my bread machine this week for my cinnamon raisin bread recipe, I always make in the bread machine. I did not get nearly as light a texture bread as I normally do with other bread flours. Any suggestions? How much gluten would you suggest adding, I normally do not use in this recipe. Recipe ratio 1 1/2 cups AP & 3/4 cup bread flour, 1 1/2 tsp dry active yeast, 6 3/4 oz water. My 1.5 lb loaf is normally almost double the size. Nothing else in my process or ingredients has changed. Many Thanks. ~ Sharon
Hi Sharon - it sounds like your yeast may not have been as active (potentially a yeast or water temperature issue). I would suggest proofing the yeast for at least 15 minutes, ensuring that it is active and that all other ingredients are at room temperature. Sometimes in the winter months bread will take longer to rise and unfortunately automated bread machines don't take into account the ambient temperature to adjust for a longer rise. Likely you do not need to add any Vital Wheat Gluten as our Artisan Bread is already high in protein. If you do want to try, add 2 tsp per cup of flour. If you have further questions or would like a replacement product our Customer Service team is happy to help. They can be reached at 1-800-349-2173 or customerservice@bobsredmill.com. Thanks!
I have an expensive bread machine, supposed to be one of the best on the market. I will leave the name off of this comment. I have never been able to make a good loaf of bread of any kind. The crusts are hard, a 1/4 inch thick. Following the instructions provided. Even in calling the company for help. It is the biggest waste of money.
Thick crust can also be adjusted with water and steam being held in. It could be you have too much flour, so try to measure that by weight instead of by volume with a kitchen scale or increase the amount of water. Some bread machines let you hold in the steam with a cover for part or all of the baking time, which would decrease the crust similar to baking in a covered cast iron pot in a normal oven, or you may be use a spray bottle a few times during baking to help keep the dough crust from getting too thick. Also temperature can affect the crust, and the altitude where you live, so you can experiment with that if you want. Finally, if you can open and check temperature in the loaf during baking, you can tell when it’s done and avoid baking too short or too long. These are all ideas that someone can research and try. Good luck!
Try adding 3 tbls apple cider vinegar to your wet ingred. If you want softer crust, rub with butter when you have just taken out of machine
