When asked if I would review the 300 Best Bread Machine Recipes Cookbook by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt, I jumped all over it!

Book cover titled 300 Best Bread Machine Recipes by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt. The cover features slices of Wild Rice and Cranberry Bread Loaf with visible nuts and fruit against a vibrant red background.

Yes, yes, yes!

I wanted to be able to get comfortable with my bread machine so that I could figure out what it takes to make good bread.

Tips: Prepare extra wild rice when cooking your favorite duck or goose dinner. Store in the refrigerator or freezer until needed.

See the Techniques Glossary (page 438) for instructions on cooking wild rice.

Yes, you’re reading it right: The 1.5 lb (750 g) recipe contains more yeast than the 2 lb (1 kg).

Variation: Substitute raw, unsalted sunflower seeds or unsalted peanuts for the pine nuts, and dried blueberries or dried sour cherries for the dried cranberries.

  3. This bread looks wonderful for fall! I have a bread machine, but haven’t used it in several years. I think I need to get it out and make this bread!

  4. I’ve worn out so many bread machines, I’ve lost count, but I’ve never heard of putting rice in bread — sounds interesting!

  5. Great! Now is there a recipe for Portuguese Sweet Bread rolls or Hawaiian Sweet Roll/Bread? I have a recipe that I’ve tried and ( one out of three times) it was good. Don’t know what happened those two times……it turned out plain bread. I want to try a sure thing , my family asks for it. Out of 300 recipes….surely there’s one in there. Thank you. Mary

  6. I saw this and HAD to make it. ..and OMG!!! I LOVE IT!!! I make it in my bread machine on EXPRESS (1 HOUR)!!! And it turns out wonderful every time! I did, however , only put in 1/3 cup cranberries (bought for $1 for a 1/3 cup @Dollar Store) and it was exactly like the sandwich bread that is in the convenience stores with turkey on wild rice and cranberry bread! !! And I can save a ton because I make the sandwich for WAY cheaper! !! And I just threw ALL ngredients in the machine in order listed and turned it on! !!

  7. I’ve never made my own bread before, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to try! Thanks for sharing this recipe with Merry Monday this week!
