West Bend has been making high quality and affordable kitchen appliances since 1911. They’re a leader in the industry and we just adore their bread makers. They’re reliable and always make and bake the perfect loaf of bread.
So, we decided to cultivate a list of our four favorite West Bend bread maker recipes. These recipes are super easy and great for all kinds of bread bakers.
Old Fashioned White Bread
This recipe makes 1 and a half pound loaf of bread.
- 1First, add the butter, canola oil, and water to the bread machine.
- 2Next, add the flour, sugar, and sea salt. Create a little bowl in the flour and fill that bowl with the yeast. This keeps it out of direct contact from the water so it doesn’t get activated right away.
- 3Select your bread machine’s “White Bread” setting. Make sure to check in on the bread dough after a few minutes of mixing. If it’s too sticky, add a dash of flour until it’s the right consistency. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s the right consistency.
- 4Once your bread is done baking, let it cool for at least an hour before serving.
French Bread Recipe

- 1First, add the olive oil and water to your bread machine.
- 2Next, add the flour and the sea salt to the bread machine. Create a little bowl in your flour and fill it with the yeast.
- 3Select your bread machine’s “French Bread” setting. Make sure to check in on the bread dough after a few minutes. If it’s too sticky, add a dash of flour until it’s the right consistency. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s the right consistency.
- 4While your bread is working through the bread-making process in your bread machine, break the egg into a small mixing bowl. Beat the egg with a whisk. Add the softened butter. Mix until it’s combined thoroughly. Set the mixture aside.
