Built with a durable plastic body, the Home Bakery Supreme has many structural plusses, including twin kneading paddles, a broad viewing window, and an angled control panel. A welcome alternative to the cylinder-shaped bread maker pans, the nonstick baking pan here turns out traditionally shaped, 2-pound loaves. Streamlined and manageable, the unit measures 16-3/4 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches and comes with a detailed manual, a recipe booklet, and a how-to video. Zojirushi includes a limited 1-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

From the Manufacturer

What Makes the Home Bakery Supreme Special?

Bread made in Zojirushi’s Home Bakery Supreme appeals to all your senses. The horizontal shape makes it look like an oven-baked loaf, and the crust control function allows you to select light, medium, or dark crust. The two kneading blades knead the ingredients more thoroughly to make it taste better, and waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread has never been easier with the timer function. You can also prepare the dough in the Home Bakery Supreme and shape it yourself to bake in the oven. The loaf of bread you bake at home should look like a regular loaf of bread. Unlike other bread makers that produce vertical loaves, Zojirushi’s Home Bakery Supreme bakes a large traditional-shaped 2-pound loaf, so the bread comes out the way it should, horizontally, and doesn’t have to be sliced on its side. The Home Bakery Supreme makes it easy to prepare and enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked all-natural breads in the convenience of your own home. Never again will you need to wonder if that store-bought loaf contains preservatives or additives.

For Beginners and Experts

Not only is the Home Bakery Supreme an excellent breadmaker for beginning bakers, it’s also a useful tool for expert bakers. Because it controls the temperature while the dough is rising, it takes the guesswork out of the leavening process. Additionally, the two kneading blades and the enclosed temperature-controlled environment knead the yeast dough better than any other method. Whether you’re baking in the scorching sun or during a blizzard, the Home Bakery Supreme will give you consistent results. All the bread cycles on the Home Bakery Supreme automatically preheat the ingredients to bring them to room temperature. However, if you find it unnecessary, you have the "Preheat Off" option to save time and immediately begin the kneading process.

Two Are Better than One

The Home Bakery Supreme features two kneading blades instead of one to make sure all ingredients are thoroughly kneaded. Additionally, the two blades knead yeast dough better than any other method. Not only does thorough kneading make the bread taste better, but it also prevents unsightly flour on the side of the bread.

A Host of Amazing Features

• Recipes
  Not only does the Home Bakery Supreme come with an instruction video, it also comes with lots of recipes. The recipes range from basic white bread to raisin bread, whole wheat and fat-free bread, pizza, pretzels, cinnamon-raisin rolls, strawberry jam, chocolate cake, sourdough bread, and Zojirushi’s original Meatloaf Miracle. More recipes are available at Zojirushi’s Web site at www.zojirushi.com.

• Easy Gluten-Free Baking
  If you are allergic to gluten, you can make gluten-free bread in the Home Bakery Supreme. No more rock-hard gluten-free bread bought at the store. Experiment to create your own new recipes.

• Some Like It Sour
  Sourdough starter is a form of the original "leaven" for bread. Traditional sourdough starter usually takes 7 to 10 days to prepare, but the Home Bakery Supreme comes with a Sourdough Starter cycle that prepares light sourdough starter in 2 hours

• Large Viewing Window
  The large viewing window allows you to watch the kneading, rising, and baking processes, so you can make adjustments if you find it necessary. If you need a better look, lifting the lid to peek won’t stop the kneading or baking operation. Just be sure to close the lid when you are done looking.

• Wake Up to the Smell of Freshly Baked Bread
  It has never been easier with the 13-hour programmable timer. Just add the ingredients and set the timer before going to bed, and by the time that alarm clock sounds, you will smell the bread waiting for you. If you hit snooze, don’t worry. The Home Bakery Supreme also has a Keep Warm feature to keep that bread warm up to an hour after baking.

• Beat the Clock
  In a hurry? Enjoy the aroma of freshly baked bread in just 2 hours with the Quick Bake cycle.

• More than Just Bread
  The Home Bakery Supreme can do more than just bake bread. It has a cycle for jam, cake, and sourdough starter. It also works as a portable oven, so you can make other dishes such as meatloaf or lasagna without heating up your larger oven.

• Easy Creativity
  If you like being creative, you will love the Home Bakery Supreme. The Home Made Menu function allows you to adjust each cycle to your preference and remember it, so you can make that perfect bread. If not bread, cake. Or meatloaf. Or anything you wish. Invent your own original recipes and see what you can make in the Home Bakery Supreme. With the three memory settings in the Home Made Menu setting, you have plenty of space for many of your favorites.
