Zoh Jee Roo Shee - The New Bread Machine

Recently the baking pan of our Cuisinart bread machine finally bit the biscuit, the seal finally broken, and the pan rotted around the opening for the paddle. It would take about a week to replace, or I could replace it with a new machine, and take the existing one (with pan to arrive later) up to the cottage.
 
I looked online, and found the ultimate bread machine, one I had been thinking about five or six years back when we were given the Cuisinart. The Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme is pretty much state of the art, the finest bread machine made. And because we put well over 80 loaves and close to 30 batches of pizza dough a year through the Cuisinart, we figured it would be a worthwhile investment.
 
 
 
The Zojirush has a longer baking pan, and is the only bread machine with two paddles.

 
A view of the inside, with pan removed. It is actually a little smaller than the Cuisinart it replaces, but has a slightly larger pan.

 
Ingredients in for a three pound whole wheat loaf, in the first two minutes of kneading.

And sorry, the battery on my Nikon died, so you will have to wait for pictures of a completed loaf of bread! We have had it just under three weeks now, and it has produced seven perfect loaves of bread, and one batch of pizza dough.
