Breville The Baker's Oven BBM100

I would be lost without this – Use this product everyday to make bread dough only. .Do not cook in the bread maker as I get a better result when I take out punch down and proof again. Show details

Great Bread maker – First time bread machine owners, we thought we'd give it a go. I've found it makes a beautiful loaf, I usually use the French loaf setting with medium crust. I have been making my bread from the packets you buy at the supermarket, and the only piece of criticism/advice I can give is to measure your water accurately.... e.g. One pack said xx amount… Read more

of water and so I used that amount for the next pack (same brand different bread) and found the loaf touched the roof of the machine. So, if your loaves are too big, check your water measurement. Aside from that, we love it and having the ability to wake up to fresh bread ready to cool and cut is fantastic.

Very good compact machine – Bought 5 months ago and it's been doing very well. We do a lot of baking, at least daily and often more, for a lot of hungry boys and this little machine has been a reliable little workhorse and extremely easy to use. I've had quite a few bread-machines over the years and I think this one is one of the best I've had. I use the machine most often… Read more

for kneading and proving dough but this machine seems to do everything it's supposed to do just fine. The well-shaped paddle achieves very good kneading and is no more awkward to remove from bread than others I've had and much easier than some. The build quality seems good and excellent for the price. The compact design of the machine takes up less space and is less visually bulky than many machines and it has a big viewing window. It has a slightly lower profile than many bread makers so if you're less than tall or if your kids want to help, it's a bit easier for the 'vertically challenged' to see what they're doing. No bread-machine can work miracles, like any cooking, yeast-baking requires a smidgen of science and little practice but this is a great machine to work with and excellent value for money.

Happy with result – Bought this second hand as a second machine. I already have the top of the range sunbeam custom bake for over 1 year and never 100% happy with the crust. So, I baked my first loaf today in this Breville machine. Followed the white bread recipe for 1 kg. I am really happy with the result. Nice crust, better than the bread from my sunbeam. I used… Read more

ordinary plain flour and the bread rose well, fluffy and soft. I know the yeast I used was still active and flour was fresh, as I made lovely soft bacon and cheese rolls on the weekend (with a food processor and in normal oven).

So, if you haven't got a good result, maybe check the flour and/or yeast. Also follow the recommendations in the recipe book, in the order it's listed (liquid, fat, dry/flour and yeast). I will try the pre-mix Laucke wholemeal another day. I haven't had success with this pre-mix in my sunbeam, always dissapointed by the result. Will see how this machine compare.

A few things I don't like are minor things: paddle got stuck at the base of bread and it doesn't tell my what stage it is at (knead, rise or bake- like my sunbeam does) and no automatic fruit/nuts dispenser. But, it's all reflected in the price

No problems at all – I have been reading some negative comments, and I think in a lot of cases, it is user error, doughy all the way through, try putting it on wholemeal, or less water, bread not rising, try using fresh ingredients, don't buy bulk or if you do keep it in an airtight container, and definately do not use bulk yeast. Yeast is a living thing, and it… Read more ·  1

starts working when it gets fresh air, and it will go off, and hence your bread will not rise, when it says cold water, I have a problem with that, I always use room temperature water, about 18 to 20 degrees C, I have used many machines, from different makers ( I used to work for a service agent in SA ), and 95 percent of the time, it was not the machine, but on saying that, it doesn't matter what brand, you will always get the odd dud, and with wholemeal breads I always found, 3/4 premix, and 1/4 white, also weigh your mix, don't do the cup business, as that varies. I have an old Breville BB200, the only reason I bought the new one is, I couldn't buy a new paddle, but this machine is great if you do the right thing, pretty well do what I have written, and you should get good loafs of bread, and trust me I have literally made thousands of loaves of bread, and can honestly say with all the so called faulty machines, maybe a couple of dozen crook ones, and from different makers of machines, it was how the customer was doing the bread, and their ingredients, usually bulk every thing.

Perfect bread every single time – Easy to operate bread maker. I use bakers flour for best results. Prefer medium crust whole meal bread with add-ons like chia seeds, sesame seeds. Have tried pizza dough as well with satisfactory results.  Show details

Top of loaf always unbaked – I have been using this machine for 2 months about 4 times per week. When baking anything other than a small loaf the bread is pale and the top of the loaf is usually unbaked and very white in colour. It often rises out of the pan and sticks to the inside of the lid. I then have to bake it in the oven to finish it off or increase the baking for… Read more

another 30 - 60 minutes. This happens constantly. I find it very good for mixing dough and that’s all.

This machine does not do what it is supposed to – Over the years I have had 4 or 5 bread makers and they have all been very simple to use and consistently turned out beautiful bread exactly as it should be either according to the recipe or the back of the packet. This one though is nothing like that. Every bake is like a magical mystery tour of random adjustments and internet problem-solving… Read more

searches but even after fiddling around and making the advised adjustments an edible loaf is not a reliable outcome and that little end of process surprise makes taking the time to use it not worth it IMO. Stay clear of this product or, if you have bought one, stop struggling and throw it out. It's not you, it's the bread maker :)

a good machine – This bakes a good loaf, but I find with multigrain, if I put more than two and a half cups of flour, 250mls of water, one and a quarter teasp yeast in, on multigrain setting, it pushes its way out of the bread maker when it rises, and when baking, gets stuck to the lid, that is hard to clean off, and leaves a soggy patch on top of the loaf. Any tips. Show details

Paddle cooking in loaf & difficult to remove – I am very happy with the machine - it ha made delicious loaves every time it is used with a delicious crust and a fine soft centre. My only negativeis the paddle sticking in the loaf of bread and difficuly to remove. I have previously owen a differnt brand BM and this is comparable. Show details

Cute little breadmaker – This breadmaker is so easy to use, it has great recipes & tips in the manual. You don't need to spend a fortune for a breadmaker, this cost me $109 & well worth it. The first bread that I made came out perfect, 3.5 cups of Lauke Sourdough Rye bread mix, 380ml warm water & 1.25 tsp yeast & pressed Basic setting, 3hrs later I nearly ate the whole loaf, so yummy Show details

I can’t live without my bread maker – I love making fresh bread nearly every weekend for my family this break maker is a life saver and makes the most delicious tasting bread I got it as a gift for my house warming and I use it all the time Show details

Makes great bread – I got this with Flybuys points-so Yay! I've not owned any other kind of Bread maker, so have nothing to compare it to. But, it's easy to use, makes lovely bread & I can't fault it so far. I gave it to mum first, but as she didn't use it, started to myself. Really enjoy being able to use it. Have had it a few years now & hope it will last longer. Show details

Paddle problem – I’m really happy with the bread,but I’m over the big hole in the bottom of loaf caused by the mixing paddle. Sometimes the paddle stays in the loaf and you have to pry it out.but the worst is when it stays in machine and a big clump of bread stays with it

Works well – Have made a few. Seems to work ok. Some flour left at the sides. Wish there was a seperate timers for 750g bread size. Has lots of features though. Medium crust is best Show details

More than just bread – You can make bread, cakes, pizza dough...the list is endless. This have been such a delight to use and very fun going through the recipes in their recipe book which has usually resulted in good results. The only downside is probably it's bulky size and sometimes is a bit difficult to clean. Show details

Breville The Baker's Oven BBM100 – Bough a seconds at the Tingalpa outlet in November 2018, the first use smelled to burned PVC cable covering, the bread was OK. The second one and the others started to come out each time smaller and raw. Brought it to the store to be checked out, 2-3 days later they did nothing, I went there again and the machine was at a table, I claimed and… Read more

after talked for a while to the person in charge telling him that we used the same recepy for decades, did everythging as usual, the bread was raw and did not cook well. After a while we were given another seconds. First bake....great, as the second third and so on till the 10th or 12th when the bread started to come out smaller and smaller and raw, the last time the same as the previous one machine. Never buy anything else there.

Great Basic Machine – I have had four of these machines. ( left one behind when I divorced ). I still have three, one at home, one in my caravan and one at my shack. I've never had any issue with them wandering or moving on the bench, if this is a problem for you put a rubber drawer liner mat under it. I use digital scales to add ingredients, and the water ( 1 ml… Read more

weighs 1 gram). ACCURATE MEASURING IS ESSENTIAL , even a few grams up or down makes a difference. Zero the scales between each ingredient. My bread doesn't hit the lid, except when I am baking in the caravan as I don't have digital scales in the van, and cant get the measures quite as exact. Makes brilliant pizza dough. I use Laucke's premixes, and I make my own sourdough, from a starter. I use dried yeast and FRESH dried yeast is essential, once opened the yeast will begin to deteriorate. If you've had dried yeast opened for 6 months or more replace it. All my machines are at least 5 years old, still working perfectly.

Unequalled value – I have used my Baker's Oven for 8 years and have worn it out making everything - bread buns, pizza base, you name it, I came on line looking for a replacement. I haven't had any failures using it and can only surmise that people who are rubbishing this great machine don't know what they are doing. If the dough rises too high, try using less… Read more

yeast; don't rely on the standard recipe to get it right, the liquid to dry ingredients ratio has to be right. If the dough is too wet it will stick to the side in one spot and not move. If it is too dry it will just plop onto the paddle and spin in the middle of the pan.It should roll around in the pan and come away clean from the sides. I always watch and add water or flour until I get it going correctly. Just chucking everything in the pan and expecting it to turn out right is not the way to do it.

Excellent indeed – Bought yesterday and baked our first loaf overnight. It was a French loaf using a pre mixed recipe and totally surprised at the result The texture was great and yes there was a problem that the bread rose and had a wet patch as it hit the underside of the lid. SO.... we re read the manual....IMPORTANT. After reading the so called bad results on… Read more

here if only people would re read the problems page and work out that YOU are the one putting in the ingredients they would see that the machine does as it is told and the only variations are done by yourselves. We all have the same machine and they ALL work the same.... if it has a wet top....cut it off....simple. get a set of scales and measure exactly, there are not that many rules to make it right.....Well done Breville.... a GREAT MACHINE

I am gf and need to make own bread. I would like Breville to get back to me – Easy to use yes, small and cheap but results are dreadful for gf bread. 10 months on i am frustrated and would not recommend this product for gf bread. Frequently collapsed bread on cooling after looking great initially. The gf recipes in book provided are really heavy and stodgy. No use of bread mixes covered in the research. PITY. Small paddle… Read more

Seems to be an inefficient method of mixing. Dough ends up one end of pan. Design of breadmaker needs a lot of work to get my vote.

Love it! – We’ve had this machine for one week and we’ve baked 4 glorious loaves. We’ve used the Laucke bread mix and added pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds when the machine beeps. Yum! It’s really simple to use and easy to clean. Love, love, love (oh and it was the cheapest machine we could find).  Show details

Noisy, moves and overflows – Tried three times to make basic 1kg loaf - machines moves around doing literally 360 degree spin back and forth on the bench, terribly noisy, overflows/sticks to the lid. I’m not trying a smaller size loaf - I bought it to do the 1kg so if it can’t do what I bought it to do I’m taking it straight back for a refund! So disappointed :(  Show details
