How to Make our Sandwich Bread in a Bread Machine

Learn how to make MINUSG's Bread Mix in a bread machine.

Every bread machine works a little differently, however many of the newer machines have a gluten-free setting. One challenge we've noticed is making sure the bread mix is fully combined, looks soft and smooth. Here are a few recommendations to make the best MinusG Bread Mix in a bread machine.

1. Use a 1.5lb loaf setting. 
2. Pre-mix bread mix with wet ingredients in a stand mixer if possible.
3. Transfer dough to bread maker then turn on bread setting. (This assures the bread will rise best)

• If you do not have a stand mixer, check the bread machine to make sure the ingredients have fully incorporated and the dough look soft and smooth.

Custom Bread Machine Instructions with stand mixer:

• In a large bowl or an electric mixer (to make without an electric stand mixer, see alternate instructions below), add warm water, bread mix, eggs and oil.
• Mix on low speed to combine all ingredients together. Scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium - high speed for 2 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a greased bread machine pan - with the paddle removed.
• Smooth and shape dough to have a crowned top, then brush with 1-2 tbsp of oil.
• Set bread machine to pizza dough and custom set preheat to 5 minutes, kneed times to 0 and rise time for 30 minutes and select start. You will need the bread to rise a little more than double in size before baking.

• Set bread machine to bake only, and set bake temp to 350° F, and the timer for 1hour 15 minutes then press start. Machine will beep when bake time is complete.
• Remove the hot bread pan from the machine and release the golden brown loaf and set on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
• Slice and enjoy soft and moist bread! 

Custom Bread Machine Instructions - no stand mixer: 

• Place warm water, bread mix, eggs and oil into bread machine pan.
• Turn setting to dough or a custom setting. Set the knead 1 time to 10 minutes, knead 2 to 20 minutes, rise 1 to 35 minutes and rise 2 to 0 minutes.
• After bread has risen a little more than doubled, set bread machine to bake only, and set bake temp to 350°, and the timer for 1hour 15 minutes.
• Remove the hot bread pan and release the golden brown loaf from the pan and set on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
