How to Make 2lb. Loaf of White Bread with Hamilton Beach Bread Maker

Follow along with me as I make a simple 2lb. loaf of white bread using the 'Basic Recipe' from Hamilton Beach. Don't make the same mistake I did the first time I made this recipe!
Once your bread is done, glaze with melted butter and enjoy with olive oil dipping sauce.
If you bake this bread today, please comment down below and let me know if this video was helpful for you at all!
Happy baking!

You can use all purpose flour as well. I've made this recipe with both many times. Also I've proofed active dry yeast with the sugar and water when I didn't have machine yeast. This recipe is one of our faves.

Thank You MollyKate for that. I'm expecting mine in a few days. I've found that with very few exceptions, the folks that design and manufacture the product and those that write the instructions for it's use, are generally on the other side of the planet from each other. It's for the great folks like yourself that take the time to post these experiences that greatly benefit us all. Thanks Again.

Yes! That’s so true. I’m glad this video was helpful. Hope your bread turned out well!!

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

Thank goodness for this sensible and informative video! This one will be my go-to when I make my first loaf and after that when I forget how I made the first one ;)

I'm loving my new bread machine, I actually needed 1 about 20 years ago, but it's ok cuz I'll definitely b using it for the next 20+ years 😅

I’ve been using a bread machine for years, making a well for the yeast, never a problem.

[@mollykatecline]

Interesting! Not sure why it didn’t work for me that way

[@ryanmorrisseau6303]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@suesomers6579]

I just bought my bread maker today! Very excited to use some of your tips tomorrow. Thank you.

[@mollykatecline]

Hope it went well🥰

[@lvlinda6]

Thank you 😁 for sharing. I’m a newbie to bread making & bread making machines. I had to laugh because your 1st loaf looked almost like mine except mine turned out to be a door stopper. 🤣.

[@mollykatecline]

Hahaha!! I totally get it😂 glad this video was helpful for you!

[@tiftaf628]

We have a new bread machine (different brand) but followed your video and recipe and it is PERFECT, thank you :)

[@mollykatecline]

Oh I’m so glad!🥰

[@michaelmcdonald8877]

Thank you...thank you and thank you again. Best wishes and one more thank you!!!!!

[@mollykatecline]

Oh I’m so glad!🥰

I've never used a machine to make bread. This video is invaluable! Thank you for taking the time to prepare the bread, providing explicit instructions along the way!!!

[@bersabeharris4680]

Lucky you but it is valuable for people having problem with their hands (painful swollen) especially in regards to mixing and kneading. Hope you will never have problems using your hands. God bless!

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

@@bersabeharris4680 It's so true. Not only for people who had problem with their hands, also for people who are busy with kids and jobs, and people on the go and and not to mentioned those family who cant afford to have a huge oven in their small kitchen. Bread machine is small, compact, and can make not only breads, cakes, cooked rice, bake chicken and many more.

I looked up a video on how to fly airplanes. I drive a car so the video was invaluable to me

[@mollykatecline]

Oh I’m so glad!! That was my hope🥰

I’m a home bread baker, using all methods to make bread. Besides by hand making Artisan breads, I also use a bread machine for dough or to bake in, in summertime. The bread machine, IMO, is one of the best, smart appliances one can own…….if you like bread!

[@gabriellarodriguez593]

I just purchased this machine today and am excited to use it. What if you want it to proof for more hours before it bakes, can you set it this way? I love following Emile Henry's bread recipe and it calls for a 18 hour proof! But the outcome is so good! I usually make the dough in the evening and have it ready for lunch the next day.

[@mollykatecline]

I’ve never tried proofing before hand, have you tried it yet? Would love to know if it works!

[@missiali]

I think you’re on the spot with spreading out the yeast👏

[@mollykatecline]

Yes! So simple but so important👍

[@Rainy78]

I just made this identically how you instructed and it was starting to bake when it was all crumbly. Only difference is I used all purpose flour 🤷‍♂️

[@exosoul]

hmm I will try that yeast method as well. I did the "volcano" method before and my bread did not rise properly. Also used regular flour. And I wonder if the yeast I am using have something to do as well. Thanks for the video!

[@mollykatecline]

Hopefully it’s worked out for you!🥰

[@exosoul]

@@mollykatecline it has! Works perfectly every time. Thank you so much! 😀

[@mzloka1984]

Hey there so you don’t take the paddle out before the machine bakes it

[@amandaharrison292]

Hi im getting ready to purchase one of these. Will this produce a dense finished bread?

[@mollykatecline]

Depends on the recipe you choose! Did you end up buying it?

[@yaad2226]

kate what happens if you use regular flour the all purpose?

[@yahairafuentes1550]

Can i use butter instead of vegetable oil?

[@patsyhelms1102]

Problem is not enough yeast

[@brianl8250]

The bread color is very light, almost like it’s not done

[@mollykatecline]

hmm quite possibly!!

[@pbrandimore5360]

Written recipe please

[@Adeline9418]

Why didnt you follow the recipe in the manual???????
