Neretva Bread Maker, 20-IN-1 2LB Bread Machine Dual Heater Bread Maker Machine Automatic with Nonstick Ceramic Pan, 15H Timer & 1H Keep Warm Set, Low Noise, Stainless Steel Breadmaker Recipe-Green

Overview: It took me a while to get bread right with this machine. I made several hockey pucks. This is because the instructions are incomplete. Marketing wanted to show how easy it is and it is pretty easy but not that easy. It's probably costing them returns for a machine that works fine but the buyer doesn't know how to use it. The Missing Info: First, use water and/or milk that's about 120F. The instructions say 110F-ish but that's where all the combined liquids should be. In a separate mixing bowl, put some warm water in it to warm it up and dump it out. Mix your liquids (water, milk, eggs, yogurt, etc.) together with the salt and sugar. Use a whisk to fully mix them. Put some warm water in the bread pan to warm it up and pour it out. Then add the mixed liquids. Then proceed as normal, adding the flour(s) & wheat gluten, if needed. They should fully cover all the liquids. Make a small well in the flours and add the yeast. Immediately put it in the machine and start it. It's in the instructions but you may have missed it. Check the dough at about the 10 minute mark and see how it looks when it is spinning. It should be a smooth ball without gaps and nothing sticking to the side of the pan. If it's not balling up because it's dry, add water a TBS at a time. If it's so wet, it's not balling up, add flour a TBS at a time until it balls up. Update your changes in your recipe. Future Improvement: It would be nice if the top came off easily as I have had bread rise into it and it's a pain to clean on the machine.

beautiful retro looking machine, great color and works very well s far, first loaf came out perfect. Easy to use.

This is a fantastic bread machine with far more settings than my old machine, and does a better job of preparing my dough. So far I baked a test loaf from the recipes in the book, made two loaves of cinnamon raisin bread, then dough for a rye loaf and a milk bread loaf. I'm noticing with my dough that's transferred to a Pullman pan for the oven, the loaves are coming out a lot more moist and softer. I could likely improve upon these loaves by rolling the dough flat and rolling them into a cylinder for the pan, but just pressing a log down into the pan is still working out fantastic. I also made two pizza crust doughs - this machine works the dough where it ends up with crispy edges and doesn't rise too thick during baking. I did attempt one bread machine cake recipe, but this machine didn't bake that one long enough. I did use the stand alone bake setting which finished it, but due to the gap in baking time, it sank in the middle. It was still a tasty, moist cake, if a bit dense. My husband had no complaints and ate the whole thing. Beware of some recipes - the authors of said recipes don't really tell you how long something should cook in their estimation, and it might turn out a bit undercooked. The chart in the manual for this machine is accurate for what to expect with each cycle. Keep that on hand, because I can tell you the one test bread came out of the manual and it turned out fantastic. We used slices from that loaf for several meals. I've already gotten fantastic use out of this new machine, and I love the look. It's fantastic and I look forward to many years of fresh breads to come.

Excellent product, good price, does great. )(Would like to see insulation on the handle, it gets very hot.)

Pros: - Pan interior is ceramic not teflon - Mixes thoroughly & kneads well - Compact and looks great on the counter. - Viewing window - Quiet (which can be a con too, see below) - Easy to understand controls - Easy to follow recipes - Best Feature: Dual heaters. Most machines seem to have only 1 heating tube and I noticed breads made in demo videos were paler on the end furthest away (usually the top). The Neretva has top & bottom heaters and my loaf had a nice uniform color (see photos). I researched several machines and the only other machine I recall atm with this feature is a Zojirushi (IIR, the Virtuoso) which is way bigger and more expensive. Cons: - Too quiet if you're waiting for the alert to add mix-ins or to hear when it's done. I was in another room with the TV on (not loud) and just barely heard the mix-ins alert. So I set my kitchen timer to match the machine's timer for finish baking as it's much louder. - Some settings ("programs") are unfamiliar to US users with no explanation: "11 - Dessert" = some kind of whipped cream based dish "13 - Toast dough" = knead only for doughs that will be fried, like Naan. "18 - Meat floss" = cook pork loin or chicken that's been shredded & minced, used in Asian dishes - Can't think of anything else. Though I've only baked 1 loaf so far. TIPS: - Add ingredients in the order stated in the manual - There's a silver tool to lift up the pan handle when it's hot & to pull out the kneading paddle if it stays inside the loaf. My kneading paddle stayed in the pan and was difficult to remove when I went to wash up. I filled the pan with hot soapy water, let it soak for a few minutes and it came out easily. I saw a tip elsewhere to put a little cooking oil on the post before putting in the paddle as a way to keep this from happening. I didn't remember that until I found my paddle needed soaking. I used Neretva's recipe for a whole wheat bread and it came out perfectly, even though it called for bread flour and all I had was AP flour. It still had a nice texture and was fine for toast and sandwiches.

I purchased this bread machine for Xmas25. Put it to use stat. It produces a great product in 3 hours with easy instructions and little ingredients. Nothing to watch or worry with. Easy release from the pan and so far each loaf has come out perfectly! Very happy with the results of this compact and pretty machine!

This bread machine is really useful, convenient & efficient. First, I love the vintage yellow color which is super lovely. Second, it is compact and looks very neat - fit into the kitchen counter or kitchen rack. Last but most importantly, I have to say Woaaa it bakes very yummy bread which smell so good and also the bread’s texture is much better than the bought store loafs. Also it is very easy to use, and adjust the ingredients. All I need is just pouring the ingredients into the basket and then the machine does everything, very convenient and time saving. It goes beyond my expectations, I should bought this one earlier 🥰

Dat de broodmachine een stekker heeft die in Europa niet bruikbaar is. Ook niet even zomaar op te lossen met een speciale stekker kopen of transfo. Een grote teleurstelling en onbegrip dus. Broodbakmachine teruggestuurd. Gelukkig was dat geen probleem waarvoor dank.

This machine is terrible! It jumps off the counter . It makes terrible bread and I've tried different recipes. It is now not working properly at all . I wanted to send back but apparently I'm too late . I only had a months grace. I didn't realize that when I purchased. It was very expressive so I thought the machine would be good and the customer care would be better. Please don't buy !

I recently got the Neretva Bread Maker, and it has completely transformed my baking experience! With 20 functions, this machine is incredibly versatile. From classic white bread to gluten-free options and even jams, it does it all with ease. Ease of Use: The intuitive controls and clear display make it super user-friendly. I love being able to set it and forget it. The automatic timer is a game-changer for waking up to fresh bread in the morning! Quality: The bread comes out perfectly every time—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The non-stick pan is easy to clean, which is a big plus. Design: It looks sleek on my countertop and doesn’t take up too much space. The compact design is great for my kitchen. Overall: If you’re a bread lover or just looking to explore baking at home, the Neretva Bread Maker is a fantastic investment. Highly recommend for anyone wanting fresh, homemade bread with minimal effort!
