Homemade bread just tastes better than anything from the store. You will likely agree after seeing these 30 bread machine recipes. I included sweet options and savory favorites on this list.
You will find classics like cinnamon rolls alongside unique treats like peanut butter bread. It is time to dust off that appliance.
1. Raspberry Jam
You might think this item belongs on a different list. It is actually right where it belongs. Many bread machines feature a specific jam setting.
You can make delicious raspberry jam with just four ingredients. Simply add raspberries and sugar along with lemon juice and pectin.
Let the machine cook it for about 80 minutes. Then you just pour the mixture into jars to seal. It is the most convenient way to make homemade jam.
2. Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
Most people I know absolutely love cinnamon rolls. Many avoid making them because the process is a pain.
Your bread machine handles the hard work for you here. You just need to roll the dough and glaze it. A final bake in the oven finishes the job.
3. Whole Wheat Bread
I know this type is not everyone’s top choice. I personally love whole wheat bread though. It mimics the fluffy texture of white bread.
The flavor is earthier and much bolder. I slice it thick to eat with tomato soup in colder months. It also pairs perfectly with broccoli cheddar soup.
4. Pretzel Bites
I never thought to use my machine for these until I found this recipe. Now I make them as a regular appetizer. They taste just like the buttery pretzels you buy at the mall.
The salty flavor is incredible. I think they taste even better when dipped in cheese.
5. Bread Machine Milk and Honey Bread
This recipe uses milk and three tablespoons of honey. You also add three tablespoons of melted butter. The result is a delightfully sweet flavor that becomes an instant favorite.
You can even adjust the settings to make dinner rolls with the same dough. It smells absolutely phenomenal while it cooks.
6. Bread Machine Dinner Rolls
I love dipping these yeasty rolls in mashed potatoes and gravy. They are quite versatile though. You can use them as buns for sliders or hamburgers.
The recipe requires only basic ingredients. You get that amazing homemade taste without any difficult kneading.
7. Bread Machine Banana Bread
Banana bread has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Making it without a machine takes some work. The bread machine simplifies the entire process.
You just beat the eggs and melt the butter. Smoosh the bananas and let the machine do the rest. Add chocolate chips after the first cycle for extra sweetness.
8. Bread Machine Pizza Dough
You can make quality pizza dough with very little effort. Just use your machine with flour and sugar. Add yeast and butter along with salt and water.
The machine produces a soft and fluffy crust. You can mold it into any shape you want. Coat it in olive oil before baking for a crispier texture.
9. Chocolate Chip Brioche
Brioche rolls are fantastic on their own. Stuffing them with chocolate chips makes them superb. The sugary bread complements the rich chocolate perfectly.
Sparkling sugar on top adds beauty and extra taste. These might become your new brunch staple.
10. Bread Machine Chocolate Cake
Machines are not just for bread these days. You should try this vegan chocolate cake recipe if you are new to machine cakes. The bread maker creates a fluffier consistency than the oven.
I just adore the airy texture. You can use the included ganache recipe if you do not follow a strict vegan diet. It tastes decadent without the guilt.
11. Bread Machine Monkey Bread
This is not the typical monkey bread you are used to. I do love that sticky sweet mess though. This version is just as good in a different way.
It is pure buttery deliciousness. Imagine the softest dinner roll you have ever eaten. This bread is even better. I urge you to try it as-is.
12. Bread Machine Garlic Bread
Baking bread smells wonderful on its own. It smells even better when you add four cloves of garlic. Your stomach will growl at the terrific scent.
You will never want frozen toast again after making this. It pairs perfectly with lasagna or spaghetti.
13. Bread Machine Calzone
This dough features the bold flavor of Italian seasoning. It is very herby. Use your bread machine to prepare the dough.
Fill it with cheese and sausage once it is ready. You can use any yummy stromboli fillings you like.
14. Blueberry Bread
This buttery bread puts standard blueberry muffins to shame. I say that as someone who loves muffins. The blueberries get soft and melt as the bread bakes.
They infuse the loaf with fresh berry flavor. This is easily one of my favorite fruity breads.
15. Bread Machine White Bread
This might be the most practical bread on the list. The ingredients are extremely simple. You need milk, butter, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
It takes about 3 hours to finish. The fluffy texture and buttery flavor beat anything from a shelf.
16. Herb Bread Machine Rolls
These rolls are earthy and garlicky. Your house will smell amazing while they bake. They take over three hours to make.
I would not make them for an everyday dinner. They are a must-have for special occasions though.
17. Bread Machine Chocolate Chip Bread
This bread is like a chocolate chip cookie turned all the way up. It is yummy and soft.
I think it makes a nice addition to a brunch spread. It is also the perfect base for sweet sandwiches like PB&Js.
18. Potato Rolls
These rolls take over four hours to fix. They really are the quintessential dinner roll though. I save them for holiday feasts.
I never get to bring any leftovers home. Every single roll gets devoured by the guests.
19. Lemon Cake Bread
You can cook this entirely in the machine or finish it in the oven. It is zesty and sweet.
The bread is dense enough to fill you up fast. I love the golden brown color and crispy edges.
20. Bread Machine Pumpkin Bread
This bread is dense and has a lovely orange color. It tastes cinnamony and slightly crumbly. The prep time is less than 10 minutes.
I like to throw in chopped walnuts. It is pretty tasty without them too.
21. Peanut Butter Bread
This is the ideal option for a warm treat. It tastes splendid at any time of day. You can add a peanut butter glaze or leave it plain.
I like it toasted or drizzled in the sticky glaze. It is also great covered in cream cheese or jelly.
22. Bread Machine Multigrain Bread
Give this recipe a try if you enjoy flavorful bread. You make it with various grains for a unique taste. It is full of fiber too.
I think it makes excellent toast. It adds an individual flavor to any sandwich.
23. Garlic Cheese Pull-Apart Rolls
This bread is gooey and cheesy like monkey bread. It is made with rosemary and garlic instead of sugar.
Think of it as the savory cousin to the sweet version. It is every bit as good as the original.
24. Bread Machine Breadsticks
I use my breadmaker to make these delicious breadsticks. They are almost just like the ones from Olive Garden. The texture is exquisite.
They have a strong garlic flavor that keeps you eating them. They remind me of Cole’s frozen breadsticks but chewier.
25. Bread Machine Sweet Potato Bread
Eating this feels like eating sweet potato casserole in loaf form. I add a little more cinnamon because I love the flavor.
The texture is hard to describe but perfect. You can also use this recipe to make dinner rolls. It is simply delicious.
26. Bagels
You should invest in a machine just for bagels if you love them. These homemade ones are softer than store bought versions.
They are also much chewier. You can add any toppings you want. Make them exactly the way you like them.

Do not pass this up if you like buttery cornbread. It is slightly sweet and softer than crumbly versions. This is also known as northern cornbread.
You can serve it as an after dinner dessert. It works well as a breakfast bread too.
30. Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This yummy treat is unforgettable whether eaten plain or toasted. You can slather it in butter or make it into French toast. It is light and airy.
It does not make you feel bloated like other breads. It is one of my favorite breakfasts.
