A few months ago, IÂ received a brand new breadmaker for Mother’s Day. I loved it and used it every other day or so to make bread. About a week ago, I placed all the ingredients in the breadmaker and started the dough cycle. It worked for about 3 minutes, beeped like it was done, and returned to the startup screen. I restarted it and waited a few minutes to make sure that it wouldn’t turn off again, and then I got busy with other things, loud things like vacuuming that would prevent me from hearing more beeps.
About an hour later, I walked back into the kitchen and noticed the breadmaker was back on the start screen. I was not happy. I dumped the half-mixed dough in the trash because I didn’t know exactly when in the cycle the breadmaker stopped. I started over.
The same thing happened AGAIN to the next batch of dough. The breadmaker would not run more than 3 or 4 minutes before beeping and returning to the start screen.
I started searching the web for troubleshooting help. I made my way to the Sunbeam/Jarden Products website and called customer service.
I nice man answered and was very helpful walking me through what might be wrong. Nothing seemed to work, so guess what he did…
He gave me a BRAND NEW breadmaker!
Three business days after I talked to customer service, there was a NEW BREADMAKER sitting at my door. How awesome is that?! The Sunbeam/Jarden folks could not have been nicer!
So, of course, I got busy eating baking more bread!
*Note: I like to use this Sandwich Bread Pan to make sandwich bread because it has a cover that does not let the bread rise over the top of the pan. 
Ingredients
- 3 cups unbleached white wheat flour (I use King Arthur)
- 1 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1-1/4 cups warm (not hot) milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place flour, oats, butter, salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, yeast, and milk in the breadmaker according to directions for your machine. (The breadmaker I use suggests this order: water/milk, butter, dry ingredients.)
- Set breadmaker to "Dough" setting.
- When done, remove dough and place on floured surface.
- Roll out into a rectangle approximately 6x20-inches.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Sprinkle cinnamon mixture over dough rectangle.
- Starting with the shorter end, roll dough into a log.
- Place dough seam-side down in a loaf pan.
- Let rise covered for 1 hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
