Can I use powdered milk instead of fresh milk in my Breville the Custom Loaf BBM800 Bread Maker?
- S
  Shannon DillonSep 9, 2025
  Yes, egg powders, dried buttermilk, or dry milk can be used in your Breville Bread Maker. These products allow you to use the Delay Start feature; however, always ensure to add the water to the bread pan first, then add the dried substitution after the flour to keep them separate. Similarly, fresh milk and eggs can be substituted for dry milk and egg powders, but the baked bread will have a heavier texture. If you still choose to use fresh milk, ensure to decrease the same measurement of liquid to equal the fresh milk and omit the milk powder. Do not use the Delay Start feature with perishable ingredients.

  If you accidentally cancel during the rise phase on your Breville Bread Maker, turn the bread maker off. Leave the dough inside the baking chamber with the lid closed, allowing it to rise until almost near the top of the pan. Then, turn the bread maker on, select the BAKE ONLY setting, set the required baking temperature and time, and press the START | PAUSE button to activate the cycle.

  Salt plays a very important role in bread making. Omitting it from your Breville Bread Maker will decrease water retention in the dough, as well as affect mixing, the strength of the gluten development and the fermentation of the yeast.

Why is the bake temperature range so low on my Breville the Custom Loaf BBM800 Bread Maker?

  Due to the small, enclosed baking chamber and close proximity of the heating element, the baking temperatures are lower than a wall oven but hot enough to bake the bread efficiently and evenly in your Breville Bread Maker.
