If there’s one tool in my kitchen I would never want to be without, it’s my bread machine. My aunt and uncle got me one as a wedding gift and I used it so much it finally was giving out.
Just around the time it was starting to breath its last breathe, my dad surprised me with a Zojirushi Bread Machine for Christmas. Let me tell you, this bread machine is the king of bread machines! It’s high-tech and offers quite a few different options — including a dough cycle, which I use the most. It’s also roomy, so you can make larger loaves and bigger batches of dough.
My favorite thing about the Zojirushi Bread Machine is that it has two kneading paddles. This creates a much better and softer texture in the dough which translates to softer, better-shaped bread and rolls.
I love that I can stick all the ingredients in the bread machine for Bread Machine Buttery Rolls and and hour and a half later, the dough is ready to be shaped into rolls. No mixing, no kneading and no worrying about setting a timer. Truly, in about ten minutes of total prep time, I can have a hot and fresh batch of rolls made.
We also think the Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls qualify as just about the best Cinnamon Rolls ever. They are so much less time-consuming to make than from-scratch cinnamon rolls. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference!
If you’d like to read more details on how the Zojirushi Bread Machine performs, Tammy’s Recipes has a very in-depth and helpful review.

Oh wow, thanks, Crystal! I’m currently using my mom’s old bread machine and when I try to use the dough cycle on it too many times in one week it overheats.
Would love to have a brand new one!
I have my Mom’s bread machine too! Would love to win one of my own so I can give it back to her.
AND, the bread machine cinnamon rolls really are the very best – LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
Thank you for this giveaway. I could so use a new breadmaker! Mine gets alot of use lol This machine looks really neat, I’ll have to check it out more closely….that is if I don’t win it
Hi, I would LOVE a bread machine. Thanks. Nancy
Tried my aunt’s breadmaker, but I think this was from when they first started making them. Somehow it didn’t turn off in time, and it burned my bread. I had such a great deal the other day on flour. I’ll be baking everything for a while… So no IHop, no Denny’s when I can make all this breakfast stuff here. Not to mention pies and things!
Would love to win this machine!
This has been on my wishlist for several years.
uuummmm, I try to load the page to enter and all I get is a blank page….. What to do??
i neeeeeed this! <3 ok, my husband neeeeds this lol
Oh, I would love a new bread machine! Mine is on it’s last leg! I’m dreading the day it looks at me and says “NO”
Thank you for posting this recommendation. I have been on the hunt for a good bread machine – I love to bake, but finding the time for my passion is not always easy!
I’ve been wanting a bread machine for years and can never find the right deal. I’m tired of paying $4 a loaf for sugar free bread! A bread machine would be a wonderful addition to my family!
I would love to have a bread maker! It could cut down some of our costs, which is always a bonus.
I have had a bread machine for 13 years but until I got a grain mill this year it hadn’t been used more than a dozen times. Now I make bread every other day and would love to get a new one. This one sounds great. If I don’t win, I may have to put it on my birthday list.
Thank’s. Would love to have one!
This looks like a very cool bread machine. Mine is from the dark ages. LOL I love your buttery rolls recipe!! I use it for dinner rolls and even hamburger/sandwich rolls. It’s the best bread machine recipe I’ve ever used!!
I want to say thank you! This is one of those things I want so much but can never justify buying for myself when the kids are always needing something (i.e. diapers!)
Thank you for posting such a great giveaway! Happy Holidays!

This machine looks awesome! I have always been a little intimidated to make my own bread, but this looks like something I could use!
This is the best giveaway ever! A bread machine was the only thing on my Christmas Wish List this year! Unfortunately with the economy it will likely still be on my wish list for next year. But when you have your health, a great family and wonderful friends, having a little patience isn’t so hard! Merry Christmas!
A bread maker that actually bread looking loaves!!! whoo hooo………
my husband has to eat gluten free so this would come in extremely handy
How exciting it woule be to win this! I have food allergies and finding decent breat to eat is sooooo hard. I have to make bread sometimes to have edible bread! This would be such a wonderful blessing.
This is a great giveaway. Thanks for thinking of it.
Hi Crystal,
I have heard about the Zojirushi before and was wondering if you use 100% freshly ground flour in it, white flour, or a combination. I have a $3 bread machine from a garage sale and have been afraid to try all freshly ground flour since I don’t think it would develop the gluten enough. Thanks!
Ooooh, I’ve never had a bread machine. Thanks for the giveaway! Merry Christmas
I would love to win this bread machine. I’ve never owned a bread machine but I’ve have bread made from them and it’s delicious.
this would be perfect i currently have to run the first 5 minutes fo my bread machine two times to insure the bread dough mixs..:) haha this would allow me to let it work without me hoovering over it:)
love your site!
I love the bread machine. My old one was broken after 2 uses.
What a generous giveaway!! I never had one and would love to start making my own bread.
Would love to win a great kitchen servant like this. Thank you for the chance to enter!

I have been wanting a bread machine for ages. My husband will be so happy if I win this.
WOW! What a generous gift. I have wanted a bread machine for years. We are always out of bread in this house and it is so time consuming to make with 3 little ones running around. Thanks for the chance.
I have this bread maker and LOVE it!! I have even used it to make jam (from the recipe book included with it). I love the way the loaves are horizontal instead of vertical because it doesn’t have all that hard crust. I can’t say enough wonderful things about it!
A bread machine has always been on my wishlist too. Thanks for the chance!
I’d love to make my own bread.
I would really like to win this bread machine.The rolls look so good
I’ve never made my own bread before. I would love to try it.
mine broke many years ago and boy have i missed it. i would love to have a new one. i have only been able to have used ones in the past so this would be a real treat~!
I had a bread machine when my husband & I first got married & never used it, so I sold it… Now we have a family & I find myself wishing I hadn’t sold it – winning would be great! Thanks for the opportunity!
Never had a bread machine before….I’d LOVE one!
I have been secretly hoping to receive a bread machine under the tree this year:) I make bread often for my family – both “quick” breads and loaves – but do it all the old fashioned way. It would be so wonderful to throw ingredients in the bread maker and have it do all the work! Although, I do sometimes count the kneading as an arm workout:) Thanks for such wonderful giveaways!
I’ve never had one and would love to be able to use it.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Bread machines are GREAT!! Mine is wearing out so could really use a new one!!
What a help this would be! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time and winning one would be a real blessing – my family would say thank you too!
I would love this bread machine! What a nice Christmas gift this would make.
I would love to win this! We eat a lot of bread and I wish that I was able to homebake all of it, but my bread machine is the pits!
I would LOVE to own a bread machine too. My daughter has allergies to soy/dairy, so I started making whole wheat bread for her. This would make the task much easier!
That would be an awesome gift!
I subscribe to your newsletter and really enjoy it. I can always learn something new
Thanks for the contest, I have always wanted to try a bread machine, but I always found something else that we need more.
Debi
I would love to win this machine. I am using a sunbeam and it dosen’t really do well with some of my mixtures.

Hi! I don’t have a bread machine but I would love one!
Hey…this is such a useful product….I haven’t had a bread machine but have been longing to eat some banana bread ……thanks for sharing this …:)
I would love a bread machine. Currently I have a starter that I feed, and it would be neat to have a fancy bread machine to cook bread in. I love giving my loafs as gifts!
Zojirushi is a great machine! I had one and used it non-stop for my family of 9. Eventually, it gave out. I’d surely love to have one again! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
I love to bake all sorts of items, but I’ve never had a bread machine. Would love to have one though.
So wish I could enter my name 100 times! It’s so hard to find a bread machine that lasts more than one season!
My daughter has a gluten allergy and I have to make homemade bread a few times a week. I always burn it in the oven or it is mushy! I have been looking for a bread machine but don’t ever have the extra cash. Thank you so much for such a great give-a-way! Merry Christmas!
I never had the opprotunity to have one. Have been asking for one for Christmas for years and still haven’t gotten it!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
WOW…lots of people want to bake bread…..me too
I had a bread machine years ago and when it died we never replaced it. This looks like a wonderful upgrade from the one I had, thank you for the offer:)
When I was growing up my mom had an amazing bread machine. She made so many things with it. I hope I get this one!
This is a great give away. A true blessing to someone in need too. I would love to win this and be able to make homemade bread and cinnamon rolls for my family. I just love homemade bread from restaurants.
I have heard so many good things about this bread machine. Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
A friend gave us the same brand rice cooker and it’s AMAZING. It even plays “Twinkle Little Star” when you turn it on and then again when it’s done cooking. There’s different settings for different types of rice and my husband even uses it for steel cut oats. He puts the oats and water in the night before then sets the timer and it’s done when he wakes up the next morning!
I’ve never made bread before and I’ve been reading posts about making your own flour and how affordable/healthy bread making is. I hope I get to start making it for our little family!
I love homemade bread with this machine I think I would be able to make it. wanna win

Wow!! what a wonderful give a way Chrystal!! I entered this because if I would happen to win it, I’m giving it to my daughter!! She’s a stay at home mom of 4 with the youngest being 1 month old and a 2 year old as his side kick!!

A new bread machine would be a great Christmas gift! Pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, bread, yum!
Would love a bread machine just so I can smell my favorite smell in my house…fresh baked bread. I’m interested in making healthy seed and grain homemade breads in it. But those cinnimon rolls look mighty good, too. That would be a special treat…mmmmm
I gave my old bread machine to my sister-in-law to help her family stretch their budget, as there are 5ppl in the house. Now I have 3 and would like to start using one again.
