Product Description

Panasonic Automatic Bread Maker

Amazon.com

Providing myriad options, this automatic bread maker embodies the marvels of 21st century electronic convenience and choice. Yes, it mixes, kneads, rises, and bakes bread in three loaf sizes up to 2-1/2 pounds. But its digital controls go much further, offering settings for white, whole wheat, multigrain, and French (crisp crust, open texture) breads, each made according to what's best for that particular style. Other settings permit rapid baking and baking sandwich bread with a soft crust. For raisin (or other dried-fruit) bread, a beeper signals when to add the fruit so it's not crushed during kneading. Crust color--dark or light--can be selected as well.

The machine automatically adds yeast at the proper time from a dispenser on the unit's lid. It also bakes non-yeast, quick breads-- like banana and gingerbread--and sweet cakes. And it mixes, kneads, and rises doughs for pizza, focaccia, croissants, and other pastries without baking them. A timer permits the machine to be programmed up to 13 hours in advance so fresh bread or cake is available for breakfast or dinner. For cleanup convenience, the baking pan is nonstick. Clad in metal and packing 550 watts of power, the machine measures 14 inches wide, 13.5 inches high, and 9 inches deep. Its instruction booklet is exceptionally easy to understand and includes recipes for 40 breads and doughs along with an insightful guide to baking basics and illustrated tips for making pastries. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer

There's nothing quite like the warm aroma of freshly baked homemade bread from the oven. With the help of this user-friendly bread machine, even those with a busy, on-the-go schedule can enjoy this simple pleasure--without the time-consuming hard work normally associated with baking bread. Just add ingredients, press a few buttons, and it takes care of the rest.


Soft-touch control panel with LCD digital display and 13-hour preset timer.

Easily Bake Bread or Create Dough


Bake loaves of white or whole wheat bread for slicing and slathering with butter and jam or for making sandwiches. Create croissant or pizza dough for shaping by hand and baking in the oven. Make the classic fruitcake to serve during the holidays. From basic recipes to custom creations, the bread machine produces delicious results--and without the additives and preservatives found in store-bought brands. A recipe book with over 50 original bread and dough recipes comes included.

Customizable Settings


The unit's top-access, soft-touch, push-button control panel with an LCD digital display helps ensure easy programming. Choose from three different loaf sizes (medium, large, or extra large) and the crust color (light, medium, or dark). It also offers up to six different types of bread or dough options--Basic, Whole Wheat, Multi-Grain, French, Pizza, and Cake. Baking modes include Bake Only (great for fruitcakes, gingerbread, and teacakes); Rapid Bake (reduces the baking time of basic and whole-wheat breads); Raisin (offers an audible beep to signal when to add raisins, dried fruits, or nuts into the dough); and Sandwich (produces bread with a soft crust). Dough modes include Pizza, Rolls, and Raisin Dough. Best of all, the appliance comes equipped with a digital timer, which can be set up to 13 hours in advance--great for waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread. Or set the timer before leaving for work in the morning so that a warm loaf will be ready and waiting after a long day at the office. Simply slice it up and serve with dinner.

Choose from 3 loaf sizes and 3 crust shades from light to dark.

Healthy and Nutritious


Baking bread at home allows for ultimate control over the finished product. By using only the freshest ingredients and making choices between a variety of options, homemade bread can be an important part of a well-balanced diet--for both young and older family members alike. High in fiber and low in fat, bread contains a wealth of beneficial components. It provides complex carbohydrates needed for energy, protein for strong muscles, and vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron for healthy bones and teeth. Add nutrient-rich eggs to the recipe or choose whole-grain flour for an extra boost of fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Mixing in nuts and dried fruits not only add to the pleasing consistency and taste of the finished product, but they're also another way to add to the overall health factor.


Yeast dispenser automatically adds yeast at optimal time to ensure perfect results.

Ultimate Convenience


Thoughtfully designed, the bread machine also supplies a YeastPro automatic yeast dispenser. Just add a measured amount of yeast into the holder on the unit's lid, and the machine will automatically dispense the yeast in with the other ingredients at the perfect time for optimal results. Even more, the unit's inner bake pan comes fitted with a wire handle (use an oven mitt when hot) for easily removing it from the appliance when the bread has finished baking. The pan's nonstick coating allows baked bread to slide easily out of the pan onto a cutting board or a wire rack to fully cool for easier slicing.


Inner bake pan offers built-in handle and nonstick coating for effortless bread removal.

Unique Design for Professional Results


Unlike other bread machines, the unit does not offer a viewing window. The absence of a viewing window allows a more even reflection of heat inside the unit, which offers the following three advantages: excellent crust, good rising, and even color. The machine also benefits from a unique temperature-control program that automatically optimizes the temperatures and times for each stage of the process. Its comprehensive microprocessor program makes slight adjustments as needed to ensure perfectly baked bread regardless of conditions like climate and room temperature.


Panasonic delivers excellent results regardless of different types of ingredients used, different seasons, and different room temperatures. In addition to the recipe book, accessories include a measuring spoon, a measuring cup, and a kneading blade that fits onto the base of the inner pan for thoroughly mixing ingredients. Other highlights include a top-loading locking lid, a handy indicator light to show when the baking or dough cycle has completed, a safety fuse for peace of mind, and power-interruption protection that allows the baking process to resume even when there's an interruption in power for approximately 10 minutes or less. All parts should be hand washed only. The small appliance comes in a compact design that fits neatly on the kitchen countertop. Keep it out for everyday use or store it on a shelf or in the pantry when finished. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 550-watt bread machine measures 13-3/8 by 9-1/16 by 14 inches, weighs about 15 pounds, and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Excellent Tool That Works As Advertised- Great Bread Made Easy
I've had my Panasonic SD-YD250 for about 2 months now and have used it many times to make various breads and doughs. I have to say that I love this machine.I got it from Amazon- delivered for about $114. So it was considerably cheaper than most of the other similar machines. I'm not sure what would make the others worth so much more, because this one does everything it sets out to do very well.I've had a few loaves come out less than perfect, but that's mostly because I've experimented with ingredients. Most loaves have been great. I also feel good about using all natural, mostly organically grown flours and ingredients, and glad to have left behind breads with preservatives and chemical additives. And of course, there are few things better than fresh, warm breads and their fragrances!If you follow the recipes that came with it, you'll get good results. Some other recipes, especially those for denser breads, like Ryes, are trickier. While you can make basic beads easily and time them to bake at night while you sleep, when baking denser, multi-grain or rye loaves, it pays to be around during the initial part of the kneading cycle to ensure that the dough is the right consistency. One of my Rye loaves was very dense and too dry, which gave the kneading paddle a hard time. Fortunately, being around during kneading and ready to add a bit more water or flour to get the right consistency will save the day (and the machine's motor). If you do add liquids like milk while the machine is kneading, do it VERY slowly in VERY small amounts- once I poured too much in, too fast, and it got splashed inside the unit, which then made a difficult to clean, baked-on mess.Overall, if there have been issues, it's because of my measurements or the ingredients. I have come to add gluten to some recipes to get the bread to stick together better- but gluten can affect the liquid ratio. Some flours are thicker/grainier and have different moisture contents than others. So, getting a feel for what combination of things work best can take a little time. But for those less adventurous, if you stick to the basic recipes, it's a breeze to make good, wholesome bread with this machine. And it's just as easy to clean the pan- I rarely even use detergent- just some hot water and a sponge and it's ready to go again!My favorite tip from others so far: put a little cooking spray or oil on the paddle before adding ingredients to make the paddle easy to remove from the finished loaf (usually, if the paddle is greased, the loaf slides right off the paddle and out of the hot pan with no effort).So, if you are considering a bread maker, (and are willing to devote a good-sized chunk of counter or cabinet space to another appliance) look no further- this machine does a range of types and sizes of breads and doughs and does them all well. It's a pleasure to encounter an appliance that actually performs (maybe even out-performs) it's claims. And it's fun!Eliminate additives, preservatives, colorings, and chemicals of any kind from your daily intake. Bake bread with just the stuff you like and the stuff that is good for you and the clan- that's what home bread making makes possible. Use a machine or not. Get great results, save money, get compliments, have fun and feel personal satisfaction- it's easy and it does not take that much time.***Update***: Breadmaker now in use for about six months. Still works great! I have made many great pizza doughs with it, in addition to a great variety of breads. The results have been very good, using recipes with varying ingredients from a wide variety of sources.To get crustier "artisan"-type breads, I have lately taken to using the machine only for mixing/kneading and a short first rise. If I want to do it quickly, then I actually use the pizza dough setting, which does not have an initial "Rest" period. It just starts immediately mixing and kneading, then adds the yeast. I can get a better grip on the consistency by popping the lid and checking after about 10-15 minutes. If needed, I add more flour, but more often, more liquids (milk/water/oil) to get a dough ball that is smooth and rounded and sticking mostly to the bottom of the pan only. I take the bread dough out of the machine at the end of the "pizza" cycle and then let it rise (sometimes for 3-4 hours, especially for sourdoughs and "heavy" multi-grain breads) in a covered, lightly oiled mixing bowl. After the rise, I "punch it down" and then shape it and let it rise a bit more while I heat-up the oven. Then I bake the shaped dough (with egg/water glaze, a shallow pattern cut on the top and a topping like wheat germ or cornmeal)in the oven on a pizza/bread stone for 35 minutes (the first 10 minutes at 450 and then the rest at 375).People swear it looks/tastes as if it came from the bakery! The Panasonic does all the hard work, and then is easy to clean-up while I bake in the oven.This machine is very versatile. I can do things with it that usually require an expensive stand mixer, OR, I can bake right in it when I don't feel like oven baking. It's great, and I still highly recommend it- even more than when it was new!
