FAQ

How do I clean my bread machine?

Unplug it and let it cool. Take out the pan and wash it with warm, soapy water. Dry it well. Clean the kneading blade separately. Skip the harsh scrubbers—they’ll ruin the non-stick coating.

How do I store the bread?

Keep it in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temp—it’ll stay fresh for 3-4 days. For longer, freeze it. Wrap it tight in plastic and foil, and it’s good for up to 3 months.

Can I tweak these for different bread machines?

Yep! Most machines are similar, but check your manual. If yours has a different size, adjust the amounts a bit. Some have special settings, so play around to find what works.
