This breadmaker will bake a whole 2-pound loaf of bread, and has menu courses for a variety of other cooking needs. Can you image the mouth-watering aroma of fresh baked bread in your home every day? Now you can choose the style that best matches your décor. From cinnamon-raisin bread for breakfast to buttery dinner rolls or garlic bread sticks to serve with dinner, this countertop appliance makes it easy to create delicious bakery-style artisan bread right at home. It can even be used to make homemade meatloaf, strawberry jam, chocolate cake, and more.
Easy to Use
Choose from three crust shades -- light, medium, or dark -- and from 10 pre-programmed settings that consist of Basic, Basic Wheat, Basic Dough, Quick, Quick Wheat, Quick Dough, Jam, Cake, Sour Dough Starter, and Home Made. Best of all, the machine's timer can be set to delay the end of the baking cycle by up to 13 hours, which makes it possible to wake up to the smell of freshly baked, homemade bread in the morning or to come home to a warm loaf at the end of a long day at the office. The bread maker provides two blades for thorough dough kneading and a higher rise, a large viewing window, an "on" indicator light, a start/reset button, and a removable nonstick bread pan for easy cleaning. A double-ended teaspoon/tablespoon measuring spoon, an 8-ounce measuring cup, and a user manual with a variety of recipes come included.
Bake a Variety of Recipes
It can even be used to make homemade meatloaf, strawberry jam, chocolate cake, and more. For a basic bread recipe, simply add in measured ingredients, close the lid, make a selection from the user-friendly LCD control panel, and the Home Bakery Supreme takes care of the rest--baking up a rectangular-shaped 2-pound loaf of bread to perfection.
Pre-programmed Baking Options
Breads, cakes and other menu options are pre-programmed. In certain models, you can also program your own cycles as well.
Whole Wheat
The extended kneading time helps knead heavier flour such as whole wheat and rye flour thoroughly.
Jam
Don't sweat over the stove stirring the pot; the Home Bakery will do it for you automatically. Enjoy preservatives and additive free jam all year round.
Cake
No need to get out the whisk or mixers; the Home Bakery will mix the ingredients AND automatically bake the cake for you.
Home Made
The Home Made cycle allows you to program the knead, rise and bake times to create your own menu setting. It even lets the Home Bakery work like an oven and bake meatloaf in it!
Dough
Prepares dough for you to shape and bake in the oven. Enjoy fun recipes such as pizza, bagels, pretzels and cinnamon rolls.
Simplify Making Homemade Bread
Use Fresh Ingredients
First, prepare fresh ingredients. Quality of the finished bread will depend on ingredients used. Avoid mixing in old or stale ingredients.
Attach Blades
Blades are especially important parts of the breadmakers. Make sure the blades are properly attached.
Measure Ingredients
Next, measure ingredients accurately. The more accurate the measurements are, the better the finished bread will be. Rough measurements will result in a rough bread.
Add Ingredients in Order
Ingredients have lives. There are compatibilities among ingredients, too. Through trials and errors, we found a right order for adding ingredients. Please add in the order of liquids, powders, and yeast to be assured your bread comes out the way you want.
Select Course
Finally, make sure to choose the right course setting.

Zojirushi BB-CEC20 Reviews. Part 1
My wife insisted on buying the Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme 2-Pound-Loaf Breadmaker because it was perfect for baking bread and small things like rolls. Personally I thought it would be a waste of money but after few months of regular using of this high-end breadmachine I have changed my mind.
If you also think it is a bit expensive to spend money for a mini breadmaker which can help in baking bread and buns according to home recipes, I understand you, but the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 is worth a shot because it a sophisticated unit. Those who are interested in technical details can expect from the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 a dual-blade machine which makes loaves weighting around 2 pounds. It also has ten settings to adjust the required temperature or choose the crust shades. All settings are available for from the small LCD dial panel. Those who always forget to turn off kitchen appliances will find the BB-CEC20 unit very convenient since it has the timer which is also helpful if you need to delay baking but have already filled in the machine with ingredients. With this smart breadmaker you can delay baking up to 13 hours.
As for the design of the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 it fits our kitchen furniture since it is also black. The model is not very compact but we have the spacious kitchen so it wasn’t a problem to set it up. The big advantage, I think, that it is made of stainless steel. The Zojirushi’s model is equipped with the large window to watch the baking process and a detachable pan for simpler cleaning. Along with the machine was included a special measuring spoon and a cup plus a standard manual for explaining all settings and a recipe book.
Zojirushi BB-CEC20 Review. Part 2
Speaking about the regimes of Zojirushi’s BB-CEC20 breadmaker I dare to say they were designed for Martha Stewart’s fans. There are Homemade, Sourdough Starter, Cake, Jam, Dough, Wheat regimes which have the default pre-programmed settings plus the regimes you can install manually. My wife uses only couple of them but it is good to know we can make homemade jam with this smart machine if there is a need.
This breadmaker doesn’t have a Teflon coating which is not very good but still so far it is non-stick. After using it all you have to do is to wipe the left crumbs and that is it. So this “Teflon-free” non-stick technology takes care to avoid the mess after baking.
Besides the standard ingredients used for breadmaking you can add nuts or raisins and the unit will mix them up with other components without any problem. So if you have dreamt to bake cheese bread it is a high time to try if you bought the BB-CEC20 unit.
I was surprised to know the machine can offer three different crust settings. You can choose to make bread with light, medium or dark crust. Unless fascinating is the automatic warmer which helps to keep load warm at least during 30 minutes after baking. With a 13-hour delay timer you can fill in the components in the morning and get the warm loaf in the evening.
As you may guess I enjoyed this appliance in spite of its not very low price. It can offer far beyond the ordinary bread making. I give the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 the firm 5.
