Beer Bread using my Cuisinart Convection CBK-200 Bread Machine

Leave a comment

Hi! Friends!Today, I want to share with you the beer bread recipe (bottom of this post) from the Cuisinart recipe book using my Cuisinart Convection CBK-200 Bread Maker. I have had my bread machine for now over a year and I love it! If you watch the above video you will see how and the results I had with the recipe and machine. This is not the first time I have made this bread with the bread maker. I have made other breads with it too and I can honestly say, I would not be able to make a loaf of bread like this without using a machine. I am not a bread/pastry baker at all!

I made this loaf of bread due to I am having issues with allergic reactions and my allergist has my diet restricted right now to help find out what I am actually allergic to. Soy is one of the things I can not have right now due to positive reaction to it during my allergy tests. Have you checked the ingredients in bread you purchase in the store lately? I know, I hadn’t until this. Most bread and a lot more things have soy in it. I have found I am loving making my bread so I know what exactly is going into it!

I am sure if you have another brand of a 2 lb bread machine you can use same recipe, as below, in your bread machine. If you make it, come back and let me know!!

I am leaving the link to the Amazon link I used to purchase mine. I am doing this not to trick you to buy one, but so you can get a good close up look at all the features it offers. I also included the link to the CBK-100 model. It is about $15  cheaper but it is not a convection one, along with some other differences. I thought you might want to look at some close up views on it.
