Traditional bread baking methods often took me as much as four hours by the time I collected my baking tools, stirred up the dough, and completed all the kneading and rising.

Using a bread machine drastically reduces the time required for kneading and rising bread dough. And there are some additional simple steps that can help trim your bread baking time frame even further. One of the easiest ways to cut down the time spent baking bread in a bread machine (a good 10 to 15 minutes) is to prepare ingredients and tools ahead of time. Steps to accomplish that:

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients (except the yeast) and store either at room temperature (if it will be used within a day or two) or in the freezer/refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. You can measure and store one or multiple mixes this way. If they’ll be stored a while, it’s a good idea to label and date the storage bag/container.
  2. Measure yeast and sweetener and store in separate containers.
