SD-PN100 Automatic Mini Bread maker, 4 Gluten-Free Programmes, Compact Design, 18 Auto Programmes, LCD Display, Black

I had a large panasonic bread maker years ago and knew they were very good but I just needed something smaller as short on storage and on kitchen counter space so took a punt on this. It is a brilliant little machine and makes just the right size of loaf when there is only me eating it. I have attached the recipe I used and the results of bread. I amended the recipe to only 1 teaspoon of sugar and instead of wholemeal and white flour mix I did 100% wholemeal bread flour so the full 250 grams as wholemeal. I know it seems expensive but honestly it is worth paying more for better. Although the instruction manual recipes are very very basic there are other manuals online where I got my recipe from for this specific breadmaker.

Sleek, compact and stylish little bread maker. It’s perfect for 2 or 3 people. We’ve had a larger Panasonic bread maker for years which was brilliant but as we have less mouths to feed and we’re down sizing, we’ve chosen this one and each loaf has been really successful and delicious. Each function is everything we need. As previously said in reviews it is noisy when kneading, for a short time but that just makes us laugh, it’s so hilarious. I’m not sure I’d find it quite so funny if I delayed the bake overnight though. Overall a brilliant little bread maker. 👍

The machine arrived working well, and once you experiment with the ingredients, it produces good-tasting bread with low effort. I would recommend this machine to most people, but I would like to point out two issues I found. - The included instruction manual and the online material have almost no explanation of the programs and lack recipes. This is a shame, as I think an explanation of each program is something basic to include. - This is a true mini-machine. If you eat a lot of bread, avoid this. The loaves that come out make about 6 slices of bread for me.

Excellent product. Easy to use and produces a nice small loaf.

We are very pleased with this little bread maker, we previously had a large family one years ago so I was concerned as to whether this would be any good. Firstly I know from previous experience that the flour and ingredients matter if you want success first time so we used a the Allison Strong bread flour and the Allison yeast powder . Set it for a basic loaf on Medium crust . We were very happy to get a perfect loaf ! So tasty, and lightly toasted was beautiful. The loaf was bigger than I expected (because some reviews are unfair in my opinion) you would get sandwiches for four just about. We were looking to only want small amounts as we don’t eat much bread. I’m looking forward to trying some Heritage Flours and seeing what sort of loaf it makes. The Flours make a surprising difference to the outcome. The Panasonic website has a large selection of not only bread but cake and other recipes.

This bread maker arrived in good time and appears to work well but I had great difficulty in working out how to use it, since it did not have any real instructions or recipes for all the various types of bread listed among the programmes shown in the machine itself but not in the operating instructions. Surely there should have been more infomation, tips and recipes provided than just the very basic "Operating Instructions"?

I don’t normally do product reviews but I’m so pleased with this mini bread maker. Very easy to use, love the small size and the colour black, which matches in with my other appliances. Perfect for 2 people and makes a perfect loaf with only 250g of flour. Pictured is the turmeric and cashew loaf, which I found on the Panasonic website. 3 words of warning …. 1) Instruction booklet is pathetically lacking in information and recipes (I guess this is for ‘eco’ reasons) 2) It is noisy, especially when kneading (we thought someone was trying to break into the house)! 3) When using programme number three, Basic Raisin it goes straight to rest not knead. It took much research to find that this is normal as certain programmes rest to allow all the ingredients to come to the same temperature before mixing/kneading. So despite the noise, this is a fabulous little bread maker for singles or couples. I wouldn’t recommend for families.

I was disappointed with the Panasonic SD-PN100 Breadmaker. Despite claiming the ‘easy-to-use’ gluten-free program, the manual only includes one gluten-free bread recipe using brown rice flour and potato starch, which are less common here in the UK.I tried another recipe I found online and adjusted the ingredients, which worked well, though the machine paused for ‘manual handling’ without clear instructions. While the bread was good, I wouldn’t have bought this if I knew there are few gluten-free recipes made available by Panasonic. Simply adding a program isn’t enough to make this machine user-friendly.
