Several months ago the Cooking For Busy Mums kitchen received the Kambrook Bread Maker, and to say it has been a welcomed addition is an understatement.
The addition of a Bread Maker to my kitchen has meant that I can make pizza dough while I am work, bake loaves of bread overnight and wake up to a fresh loaf and make the best dough (I could never spend the kneading time to get dough this good) to make many other creations in the kitchen.
Compared to many older bread makers, the Kambrook bread maker is quieter, sleeker and easy to use. We give it a big thumbs up.
FEATURES
- 15 Hour Preset Timer – so you can set in before bed and wake up to fresh bread, or come home to pizza dough ready to go.
- Select from three loaf sizes – ideal for small – large families.
- Easy to use control panel. Menu’s listed on the bread maker so you don’t have to refer to the manual
- Crust select – if you like a darker loaf no worries just hit the button.
- More Setting – to crispen and already baked and cooled loaf, warm a loaf or extend the cycle for an even crisper crust.
- Power Interruption Protection – if the power is interrupted for 7 minutes or less (like if you accidentally switch the power off) it will automatically resume to where it was before the power was switched off.
- Extensive User Manual with baking tips and basic dough recipes.
WHAT I HAVE BEEN MAKING
I have been creative in the kitchen this month with the bread maker and made these Chicken Bread Pot Pies from leftover roast chicken. The perfect bread dough the bread maker made (which would of only cost about $2 to make) has let me turn the last of the roast chicken into another meal. I can save money, reduce wastage and be more creative.
Grab the recipe here.
Pizza Dough for Friday Night Pizza Night – even some Snowmen pizzas were made at Christmas. Pizza Dough Recipe is from the Instruction Booklet.
Set ready to go for pizza dough.

Choc Chip & Brown Sugar Scrolls – making a sweet bread dough
Pizza Scrolls – using the Pizza Dough
Traditional Loaf of Bread – I used a store bought Bread mix to make this.
Freshly baked loaf of bread
I like to keep a couple of packets of the bread mix in the cupboard now, so if I run out of bread and don’t feel like going to shop just for that I can make some.
VERDICT
I love having the Kambrook Bread Maker in my kitchen. It gives me the flexibility to create great bread based recipes and achieve dough that I could never get by hand.
I am yet to try making the recipes for brownies, sweet bread, jams, chutneys and marmalade.

My answer is pretty simple….bread! I would love to wake up to the smell of fresh bread baking in my kitchen. A bit of butter and Vegemite and that is one delicious breakfast ready to go.
Wow! I didn’t realize you do all these different things with it. Was looking at breadmakers in the sales but didn’t really know where to start so thanks for the info.
I would simply make a nice traditional bread loaf, as there is not much that would beat eating a slice of warm fresh bread with butter. Yum!
Yum! I’d love to wake to the smell of baking bread and serve still warm with vegemite. Worth getting out of bed for!
(So I would first make a large loaf of bread for hubby, me and our kidlets three!!)
i have a son with cerebral palsy and 2 of his favorite things are bread and pizza, so my first thing to make would be the yummy pizza rolls on the website!!
i will have to make a fresh loaf of bread for my husband to have with the fresh plum and peacharines jam I am making today.
Would love this for my kids, they like being hands on and helping and I could see them making pizza dough for dinner!
I would use the bread maker to make fresh sticky cinnamon scrolls which are my children’s favourite treat! Yum!
Bread. Love the smell of freshly bsked bread
So many options to make – how to choose? I would love to be able to program the bread making fairy to make me pizza dough while I am at work and have it all ready to go when I get home. Will it pour me a glass or red as well? 😉
Im always making pizza dough being a mum to 2 boys who constantly eat. I make pizza and the chocolate scrolls from your website. It would be nice to sit back and let a machine do all the work.
Love the new style would look great on any bench top.
We power through fruit bread at an alarming rate so I’d have to practice raisin, fig and date bread.

I wish I didn’t get rid of my bread maker all those years ago, you have made me drool! How amazing to wake up to fresh, preservative fresh bread. Yum!
If I was lucky enough to win the Kambrook Bread Maker the first thing I would make would be a lovely fresh loaf of bread! I recently had my first child so getting out of the house to get fresh bread has become a bit of a mission which has resulted in many stale bread sandwiches! It would make our lives so much easier and our lunches so much tastier!
I have ALWAYS wanted one of these, would love to make some pizza scrolls and other goodies for my daughter to start pre-primary with
It would be amazing to be able to have fresh bread for my family every morning.
I would love to make gluten free soy and linseed bread
The smell of freshly baked bread is divine. I want that for our home!
Its really good
I would love to make a fruit bread for my family which is free of soy flour and all the other weird things they put in supermarket bread. Maybe a sultana, dried apricot and Apple loaf. Perfect for morning tea for preschool or breakfast or any time of the day!
Italian style crusty bread rolls! Yummy!!!
I would love to make some yummy bread with nice crust. Being German bread is something I really miss here
I will start with a wholemeal bread, with a crispy top and i will eat it just a bit warm… memories from my childhood 🙂 then i will try all the recipes. ..
Bread. We don’t buy the stuff from the supermarket at with the prices being either really cheap and made with god knows what. Or really expensive and we can’t afford it. So we early eat bread. I would love to make a loaf from scratch. No packet mixes I mean flour water yeast salt and sugar. Warm soft and fluffy. Yumm I love baking
As a mum of 2 boys with food-related allergies, it is almost impossible to find breads and related products that contain no additives or preservatives. I bake our bread and scrolls from scratch twice a week. Would love the opportunity to try out the Kambrook bread maker and eliminate all that elbow work that goes into bread making.
Thanks for a great post 🙂 I would set the bread maker to make pizza dough while I’m at work as we regularly have 7.30pm pizza dinners due to me running out of time to make the dough (embarrassing but true). With the dough already made we would eat earlier and the kids would go to bed earlier…perfect!
Any bread that actually rises & doesn’t turn out like a rock which has been my past experience at attempting to make bread! Having said that, the scrolls both sweet & savory look divine & would love to master these but think I need to start with a more basic loaf!
I would start off by trying to make a sourdough loaf. YUM!
i would love to make homemade cheesy mite scrolls. They are a huge favourite at our house.
The chicken pot pies look amazing and I know my kids would eat them so that’s the first thing I’d make.
I’d love to make pizzas and scrolls for school recesses and lunch and of course fresh crusty bread
I would have to make a beautiful, fresh, warm, yummy and scrummy loaf of Multigrain bread. I’m sure my family would all wake up too early in the morning though as we would smell it cooking.
Fresh bread. My mother in law used to make lovely bread, until she moved OS – now it’s a bit far to grab some fresh yummy bread.
Pizza dough, I had no idea you could just , ake dough in a bread maker!
Looks delicious!
First thing I would make is dough for cheesymite scrolls! Currently they are my 1 year olds obsession!
i am a mum of 4 kids and my last child has a LOT of allergies. I would love to make him bread so he doesn’t feel differently from the rest of the family.
I’d dig in and make a pizza base or those pizza scrolls… Yummo!
I’d make pizza bases and those pizza scrolls
I would love to make gluten free/dairy free bread, it will be a challenge!!!
I’d love to make some home baked goodies for my son who starts school this year – this would definitely help !
Id make a variety of scrolls, a challenge for me and all the family could choose their favorites
I would love to make some soy and linseed bread. It is my absolute favourite and would love to make a fresh loaf for my family.
oh how exciting to try out new recipes rather than the same boring ones we end up with every week because no one in the house can think of anything new!
i would make fruit loaf, my kambrook bread maker is 20 years old and really does need replacing, but I still use it.
I would love to make a sour dough loaf of bread so I can enjoy it with some clam chowder!
Even though I appreciate the many uses of a bread maker, I am looking forward to making and smelling fresh bread, healthy with a multitude of yummy grains
I would make everything on this page. The results look amazing and especially loving the chicken pot bread pies-Yummo!
I think I’d try bread first – nothing smells or tastes better than homemade fresh bread
I’d make muti-grain bread… the smell of freshly baked bread spread with nutalex sounds divine
Delicious preservative free fruit loaf 🙂
I would totally make pizza scrolls, pizza dough and of delicous wholemeal bread.
I would make something with my four year old daughter that she will eat it. Lunch every day is jam and cheese sandwiches so definitely jam and bread as a start. She loves to cook and would have fun so much fun with a bread maker she could help with.
Look forward to cooking homemade bread & the scrolls would be great for lunches.
Pizza Scrolls. I’ve only just started baking for my family (hubbie +2under2) and made my first batch of muffins yesterday. I loved the look of those pizza scrolls on your Page but the thought of making dough was too overwhelming but a bread maker would be perfect and being able to make fresh bread… Wow!! Would love to have a bread maker now

Kuchen dough, which I would turn into chocolate scrolls. Yum. Or maybe pizza dough, or grizzini, pita. Hmm, I guess I am a little undecided. 🙂
The choc chip and brown sugar scrolls sound delicious. That would be my first bake
I would love to make cheese and bacon rolls they are a family favorite 🙂
