Cuisinart CBK-110C Compact Automatic Bread Maker

The Cuisinart Bread Machine has 12 pre-set programs and comes with a recipe booklet that includes recipes for Gluten bread, sweet bread, and also Jam.
The Cuisinart bread maker is lightweight, compact, and easy to use. It has the option of leaving the kneading paddle in the machine or taking it out. Leaving the kneading paddle in is definitely a great option to have especially so you can dump all your ingredients into the machine and then forget about it.
The Cuisinart bread machine can bake bread for 1lb, 1 1/2lb or 2 lb loaves. Generally, 2 cups of flour will be used to make a 1lb loaf, 3 cups of flour to make a 1 and a half lb loaf and 4 cups of flour to make a 2 lb loaf of bread.
I personally found the Cuisinart Bread Maker made amazing results to the crust of the bread, more than the bread itself! The bread comes out really well, and when it's toasted, it tastes so, so good!!
You can also use the Cuisinart CBK-110 automatic bread machine to only knead the dough, and then you can shape and bake the bread in your oven or vice versa, you can prepare the dough in another appliance or by hand and use the Cuisinart Bread machine to simply bake the bread. There are so many options available with this automatic bread machine!
I hope you found my review useful!

A wonderful presentation explaining every detail of this machine. I've watched many videos but no one ever explained about the start later aspect and it's not in the book as far as I can see. Thank you Meem for your thoroughness, Now I can have bread in the morning when I wake up. I've made some loaves and they are fabulous. My other machine has been making dense, lopsided loaves for years. I thought it was my error and I kept trying. Also, the machine was much bigger taking up counter space. I'm giving away my other machine to anyone who wishes to try correcting the problem. In the meantime, this cuisinart is the BOMB!

[@MeemReviews]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@thenobs123]

Hey, 2 years later do you still have this? Regret the purchase? Or is this the bread maker to get?

[@zemimsky]

I'm a student in bakery and heavier bread is better, it means you are using normal flour and let the machine do it's thing. You could alternatively let it rise a lil longer. Industrial store bought breads use additives which make it light and fluffy but it does not mean they are healthier (even if they so claim on the labels). I was gifted this machine for my birthday and just had a test run today. Should have watched your video first! I was jumping each time it beeped and didn't know what it was doing. (I'm used to a big industrial oven at school xD) but thank you so much for this ! Much better than reading the instruction manual. (I made Fougasse (fine herbs and olives bread) and it came it amazing!

[@MeemReviews]

ohhh, that sounds amazing! I would love to try that too! Thank you for sharing your expertise knowledge, I'm glad to know I'm not doing anything wrong with my bread!

[@zemimsky]

@@MeemReviews Deefinitely not !! doing anything wrong with your bread. yeast will create chemical reactions and create air bubbles and that makes the bread light and fluffy; but for that, time is needed. If you let the dough proof longer, more action happens. Then a lil punching to evacuate said gases, shaping let rest again, bake = your typical baguette or loaf at bakery stores. Industries don't have those two resting periods. ♥ keep up the amazing work with the household item reviews! Very useful, very insightful, very well done :D ♥

[@arturq6561]

Could you share your recipe with us :D?

[@yaad2226]

so we can use normal flour? and what should we care about when using normal flour wastagi?

[@zemimsky]

@@yaad2226 a little bit of salt to give your dough strength and flavor, yeast to help rise, and that's it :D lots of love and care and respect the dough' resting times ;)

[@ivanmadethis]

I have the same one and I love this thing! I admit I use it mostly for mixing the dough and I prefer to bake it later in the oven myself but it's still a big help to have this take care of all the kneading and rising. My favorite recipes that I've tried so far are the banana walnut bread (absolutely delicious) and the focaccia bread - so fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Yum!!

[@MeemReviews]

Thanks for sharing, I'm not a fan of bananas, but I will definitely try the focaccia bread!

[@vandnapatel9956]

Such a good review! Thank you! I hardly ever bake bread but lately have taken my old Sunbeam out and made one loaf a week or so ago. Today I was going to make more and it would not mix. I read up how to fix but nothing would work. I went online and got this one after watching this video. I learned so much lol! Thanks again!

Thank you for the informative video. As far as the machine "walking" during operation, i'm thinking if you take a thin towel folded in half and set the bread machine on top of that, it might stay in it's place.

Love the video! I would like to see you make more kinds of breads! Don't forget to let the bread cool completely before cutting into it!

[@colleent3631]

Hi just wondering if you did anything different the second time around to make the bread turn out better? Also my machine was vibrating a lot when kneading and the display window steamed up, might need to return it🤔

[@gflo_lover]

It’s normal for the display window to steam up during the rise cycles since it is pretty humid in the machine.

[@robertheselberg1784]

Take out the plastic packing part that is under the bowl. If you miss it like I did the bowl will be hard to remove and you will see why when you take the loaf out. Did not stink up the bread or the house but I clearly missed it. Easy to clean up as it breaks up easy after being cooked.

[@MeemReviews]

Thanks for sharing!

[@buddmcstudd6994]

Cool to see a competent review. I have seen the retro style ones and had to see the newest models

[@MeemReviews]

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say, I appreciate the comment!

[@goedelite]

A CAUTION WITH BREAD MAKERS: I don't know if the very expensive ones are any better, but I find a common problem among the machines: The bread pan's paddle-spindle and/or its bearings are in a humid, hot environmtne during use. If not made from steel that is highly resistant to rust, they gradually rust together, I you bake bread once a week, you may find after a couple of years, they lock up. This is especially true if one removes the paddle from the spindle before the last rise in order to avoid the paddle recess in the bottom of the loaf. My solution to the rust problem is not to bake in the machine. Before the last rise, transfer the dough to a baking loaf-pan. Let it rise in the oven away from cold drafts for about an hour, then bake it for about 40-45 minutes at 350-375F. Never bake in the bread machine. Use it only for mixing and kneading. A new pan will cost you $40-$50.

[@MeemReviews]

Thank you very much for sharing this. Definitely noted. ☺️

[@kesc9860]

Thank you thank you thank you! I was in the middle of a loaf going crazy trying to find the ultra fast setting (2nd loaf, new machine)

While removing the paddle my machine went back to the beginning cycle. I hit the start stop button when the paddle beep came over reshape dough and hit start agin and thats when it started over? Reread the directions again and watch this video and still cant understand why it did this? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm wishing iI kept the paddle in the machine> Wo ever heard of bread taking this long?

[@scootertron8332]

Did you find that you have any issues with the rise/overproofing? I see a lot of reviews of this machine with collapsed tops, but maybe it's as simple as not knowing to keep salt and yeast apart initially.

[@sweetang7861]

You mentioned that second time the bread turned out better. What did you do different the second time?

[@MeemReviews]

Ohh.. it was a year ago, but I recall the texture of the bread when cut was much better the second time.. so at 6:17 you can see the base is not as 'fluffy' compared to the bread at 6:30, I think I started to sprinkle in the flour rather than dumping it in.

[@traciseibert4532]

Very good ,descriptive video. If I'm going to take dough out and bake in the oven, at what temp and how long, for a 2lb loaf?

[@MeemReviews]

Thank you, it really depends on the type of flour you have used, but generally for all-purpose 350F for 30-40 mins

[@goedelite]

ANOTHER TIP WITH BREAD MACHINES: (I think of the human using the bread machine as the "Maker". He or she chooses the recipe, and makes the other critical decisions. All the machine's computer does is offer a choice of time sequences.) If you use whole wheat flour (all or partially) adding wheat gluten flour 1-3 level tablespoons will keep the loaf from being too dense if you like it to be lighter in weight. After you feel confident about your recipe, you can vary it by adding the gluten and adjusting for it. Adjust by touching the dough ball lightly and adjusting for a ball that is not more than a little bit sticky. Another approach would be to buy a certain retailer +"s wheat or whole wheat bread - less than $2.00 for a 20oz loaf. It has preservatives, but I have not read of any deaths from them. Tastes good to me, but a bit more sugar than I prefer.

[@MeemReviews]

thanks for sharing!

[@Rob_430]

I had to return this bread maker. When it mixed and knead it vibrated all over. I have 2 other machines that do not vibrate or jump around.

[@mamoolumanishini3654]

can this machine be used only for kneading to make it for Roti/chapathi. thank you

[@MeemReviews]

No, it's not good for Roti since the programs are designed with Proofing times. So it will knead, rise, knead again then Rise again. You can try Stand mixers for kneading roti dough or even food processors come with some dough blades. Hope it helps.

Got this machine for Christmas and my first time using it the bread came out very hard crust and very dense! What am I doing wrong? Second time was the same thing! Not very pleased with the machine. Help!

[@MeemReviews]

A couple of things could be the reason. 1) not enough water/liquid added when making the dough, 2) Less butter causing it to become too hard. 2) The flour wasn't 'aired'. If you fill the scoop the flour directly from the packet/jar and dump it out, the flour to water ratio will be wrong, meaning too much flour and less water. Try to scoop out the flour and then gently sprinkle it into a measuring jug, this will get you a better measurement. I hope these help.
