Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker

Customer Review: You should get this
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are at all interested in making bread you should buy this. I was only sorta thinking about getting a bread machine but I'm so happy I got one! You just throw everything in, dry ingredients first and hit a few buttons. It's so much cleaner than kneading bread it's well worth the price for the dough cycle alone. It is sorta loud during the dough cycle and at first I thought it would move and fall off the counter but it never has. The one annoying thing I've found so far is I can't figure out how to use the dough cycle for kneading only, it seems to want to let the ingredients sit for a while before the kneading. To get around this I just use rapid bake so it goes straight into dough kneading and then I turn it off after the kneading is done (about 20-25 mins). This is for when I want to braid the bread and let it rise and bake in the oven. The rapid bake takes about 2 hours total after you throw the ingredients in. The normal bake for most recipes is 6 hours but I've only ever used the rapid bake so I don't know if it makes a difference in the quality of the bread. I know it's been said many times but home made bread is awesome! Even the regular white bread came out so good we tear it up and dip it in olive oil.

Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well.

The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack
