The Evolution of Homemade Bread with Zojirushi Breadmakers
In 1987, Zojirushi changed home baking with the introduction of the “Pan Club” Home Bakery—our first breadmaker. At the time, making homemade bread seemed like a daunting task, requiring a lot of effort, attention, and skill.
For many, the idea of kneading dough and timing the rise of the bread was enough to keep them from trying. But our goal was to make the process easier, more accessible, and convenient for everyone, regardless of baking experience. With our first home bread maker, everything was simple. All you had to do was measure the ingredients, load them into the machine, and let the breadmaker do the rest!
Innovation with the Home Bakery
In the U.S., Zojirushi introduced the Home Bakery BBCC-S15, which elevated the baking experience. The BBCC-S15 offered 8 different baking settings and a programmable function for personal recipes. This innovation allowed users to customize their baking process, providing flexibility to bake anything tailored to personal preferences.
The Homemade Menu Function was BBCC-S15’s standout feature. It enabled users to create anything from a small ½ lb loaf to a larger 1½ lb loaf. Perfect for any occasion, the BBCC-S15 was a versatile companion in the kitchen.
Also added was a a viewing window to watch their bread rise and bake in real-time! It helped eliminate the need to guess whether their bread was rising correctly or over-baking. Plus, it was so much fun to watch the bread rise!
Zojirushi enhanced the bread makers with more features As the demand for healthier, homemade options grew in the 2000s. People became increasingly aware of food allergies, sensitivities, and additives in store-bought bread. This sparked a movement toward making bread at home with wholesome, preservative-free ingredients. The Zojirushi bread maker became the perfect solution for those looking to avoid unnecessary additives while enjoying the benefits of freshly baked bread.
