I made this recipe today and all I can say is that it is awesome! I made the dough in my bread machine then baked in the oven. Very easy and very good! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Ellen! I've made the recipe twice now, and it's fabulous. The second time, I divided the dough into two loaves and gave one to a friend. Of course, now, she wants the recipe. Thanks for the great video!

Hello young lady. I recently started watching bread videos B/C I was sick of buying overpriced crap LOL. I've watched a lot & always come back to yours. Common sense, humor, wisdom, tips & tricks. I don't have a working oven as my life went downhill fast. I bought a Cuisinart 😮, which will be going back. Didn't realize it was broken, (handle on one side), so top wasn't closing properly. I made 2 leaf's & realized the bread just didn't have it. Of course, I need to practice & get all my tricks. I really would love to have a bread maker like yours. I just wanted to Thank You for sharing & keeping it real! I've pretty much watched all your videos & enjoyed 💖

Thank you for this lovely comment!

[@jilluher7655]

Congratulations on getting a new oven! Can't wait to see it! Using the lame made the loaf look like a Master Baker made it. You have such a beautiful kitchen.

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I’ve never used dough conditioner. My breads turn out perfectly.

This bread was so good, it was gobbled up in 2 days. Have you ever made or tried tomato bread? It is amazing. There are many recipes on line, you should really try it!!1 I think your subs would love it. It’s a real winner. Have a great day, love your channel.

Do you have a recipe for Asiago bread? I love this recipe, who am I kidding, I love all your recipes! Thank you for teaching me to make breads.

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I have never put Asiago cheese in any of my breads. You can try adding it to almost any recipe, including this one.

[@sariswede]

Stunning loaf of bread! I’m definitely going to try this! You always teach me something new with each video you share. Btw-my phone woke up and set its timer when you called out Siri’s name. 😂

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

Thank you. I’m super proud of this one. That’s funny about your phone.

[@irishtea15]

Hi Would this bake as well in a cast iron Dutch oven instead of using water in the bottom ?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I think it would. I’m going to try next time.

[@camp-grandma]

Did you allow another rise after shaping the loaf?

[@camp-grandma]

Missed in video but read the recipe and saw shape then rise. Thx.

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

Yes. That’s why watching the whole video is helpful.❤️❤️❤️

[@carrottopsrgreen124]

I have an unreliable oven. Can I use the European course instead of dough and have it baked in my Zo?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I haven’t tried baking it in the machine yet. It rises so big! Maybe reduce the ingredients by 15% if you do.

[@marilynnelson9465]

What model bread machine should I buy? Love your videos!

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

Short answer: buy a Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus. It’s pricey but will last forever and it’s the newest model they’ve made. a.co/d/5GM8hNb Do not buy the Home Bakery Supreme. It’s a good machine but came out about 24 years ago-OLD TECHNOLOGY!!! The long answer: My Zojirushi Story by Ellen Walker Hoffman In about 1999 or 2000 I decided to get a bread machine. I’d had one before, don’t remember the brand, used it to death in about 4 years. I was without a bread machine for about 5 years, and finally decided I wanted to have one again. I decided to really do my research on Consumer Reports and other brand comparison websites. Everything at that time pointed to the Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme. It was unanimous. That’s when I got the Home Bakery Supreme. I used it at least once a week until July 2018. Finally the bearings of the paddles froze. I believe it was because I wasn’t careful when I washed the bread pan and the bottom got wet. My engineer hubby tried to fix it but he couldn’t. (The actual machine may have been fine, as far as I know.) I found out that it would cost $100 for a new pan and paddles. It seemed like a stupid gamble to spend $100 on a new pan and paddles, not knowing for sure that the 18 year old machine would still work once I got it, when I could buy a new machine for $300. I was pretty sure I wanted another Zojirushi, but again, did my due diligence of research. It all pointed to the Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus. That was July of 2018. I’m more into baking than ever since I retired in June 2018. Hanukkah, December 2018 my hubby surprised me with the second Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus! I’ve used both at least twice a week. In January 2020 I decided I wanted a third. When I found the price had gone down temporarily to $272, I jumped at it and now I have three! I chose the Zojirushi after careful research, plus the fact that my first one lasted so long. It has nothing to do with shape of loaf, as I use the dough cycle. I rarely bake the bread in the machine. The best feature is the preheat/rest cycle. That is a non negotiable! I don’t want to mess with making sure ingredients are the correct temperature. I throw everything in cold from the refrigerator and I get perfect dough every time. I love my Zojirushis! There are many bread machines for many budgets. A Zojirushi isn’t the only good one. They are pricey. Do your research!

[@tigerhead379]

Im gonna make this.

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I hope you like it!

[@Boopbdo]

Eileen, did you leave the water in the oven while it was cooling off or did you take it out? Thanks!

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

@@Boopbdo it’s been so long I had to rewatch. After I finally took the bread out, I just left the tray of water in there until way later when I was cleaning the kitchen. The water was completely cool by then.

[@susansantangelo1175]

@@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH OK, thanks…so the water stayed in while the bread cooled down…I made your recipe…used a garlic infused olive oil…mmmmm, mmmmm,good. Thanks for all you do!

Ellen I wanted to ask you about making sour dough bread in the machine, can you do it I have watched videos with regular no bread machine bread and cooking a potato and smashing and using in bread. Have you ever done that?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

I am the wrong person to ask about sourdough. I tried and couldn’t stand the horrid sticky mess of feeding and discarding. The starter smells like vomit to me!!! Yes, I have used mashed potatoes in doughs before. Here’s a recipe that uses yams (yummier than plain white potatoes) and is delicious.Thanksgiving 2021: I YAM WHAT I YAM!!

Ellen I want to make pizza crust. Do I just roll the dough in a ball and freeze it straight out of the bread machine? What is the best recipe?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

Hi. I use the pizza crust from the Zojirushi recipe book. It would be easy to find on Zojirushi.com. I divide a two pound recipe into two balls, and freeze in an olive oiled freezer baggie.

[@littlemscrafty]

So I freeze it straight out of the machine?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

@littlemscrafty you can!

[@littlemscrafty]

Thank you so much. How long do you think it will last in the freezer? 6 months?

[@BreadMachineVideosWithEllenH]

Why my recipes are in grams I grew up using measuring cups, and spoons like most other people in the United States. I didn’t know anything different for many many years. After I had baked bread for a year or so with inconsistent results, I noticed in my Facebook Bread Machine groups that most people were making bread using gram weights instead of measuring cups. I didn’t really understand what the benefits were at first, then I bought a scale and started using it and soon I came to understand why people weigh ingredients instead of measuring them. Here are the benefits of weighing your ingredients: 1. Weighing is the most accurate form of measurement. 2. Weighing gives you more consistent successful results. 3. Weighing takes much less time and makes fewer dirty dishes. 4. Most of the rest of the world uses grams. I write my recipes in grams because I have “bread friends “ from all over the world who want to make my recipes. 5. I’m lazy! Weighing is so much easier! I’m sorry but I cannot convert my recipes to cups. You are welcome to try using Google. I will tell you that with King Arthur bread flour, I use 135 grams for a cup. If you try weighing, I know that you will like it better than measuring with cups. Absolutely everyone I have taught how to do it has told me within a couple weeks, they are so glad I convinced them to try it! They tell me they would never go back to measuring with measuring cups! I feel the same way! Now having to use measuring cups occasionally for a cookie or cake makes me groan! I’ve become so lazy because weighing is so much easier! I’m methodically converting all my old family recipes to grams. Please give it a try. For under $20, you can get the scale I have! If you want consistently wonderful breads, this is what you should do. Weighing is easier AND provides better results! Win win! I’m always here to help. Here is my email address.

Once you get use to weighing, you will not want to go back. Try it a few times.

[@MarieAnderson-rr8uv]

Your recipe calls for the lame to be used before proofing. All other recipes I have call for it after last proof just before baking. Can you comment on that please? I want to post a picture, but don't know how! It is the most beautiful loaf I've ever made...

Yes. I don’t want to deflate the dough.
