Here is the link to the eBay shop where I got the vinyl cover for the breadmaker.

Here is the recipe I used from the book for 1 large (2lb) 5 Seed White Loaf put them in in this order or the order described by the manufacturer of your particular breadmaker.
1 tsp - Easybake/fast action yeast
475g - Strong White bread flour
30g - Unsalted butter
1 1/2 tbsp - Sugar
1 1/2 tsp - Salt
1 1/2 tbsp - Sesame seeds
1 1/2 tbsp - poppy seeds
330ml - water
Put in the dispenser or add when the beeper sounds if using a different model
1 1/2 tbsp - Linseeds
1 1/2 tbsp - Pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 tbsp - Sunflower seeds
Set for basic white program. On this model it was menu 3, which is a basic white program that also activates the extras dispenser... As I said, if yours doesn’t have this feature, add them when the extras signal goes off.
Hope you enjoyed this review, happy baking!

Due to popular demand, the link to where you can buy the bread slicing guide, is in the description. 😊
My father bought a Panasonic SD-BT 2 P in 1987 for my mother and I'm still using it up to today. It still works for my favorite bread. It is insane.
Panasonic make such good breadmakers! Every loaf I make in mine is perfect. Not had a bad one yet.
@@Thesweaterfactory But is there a breadmaker out there that does a longer more conventional size loaf?
I could write almost EXACTLY the same comment, Mike. My parents are still using their SD BT 2P; I have my grandmother’s (same model), and we have purchased one off eBay (from an estate sale, used only once) for cottage use.
I’m not sure what it is about that machine (apart from being solid, almost whisper quiet) that makes bread so well. At times, the crust almost achieves a croissant-like flake/crispness. Insane, is right!
Our Panasonic is also still going for well over a decade with no hint of issues. They seem to be extremely well made. Could not be happier with it.
@@gtibruce I think the issue is the kneading paddle , it would be able to mix very well in a longer loaf tin.
I just got this for Christmas. Thank you so much for your thorough review, gentle commentary, and generally lovely demeanour! I can now use my breadmaker with confidence. Thanks so much!
Hi, could you please tell me what the small square box besides nuts dispenser is? At first, I thought it was the yeast dispenser, then I realize yeast dispenser should be the circle one.
Thanks for the post. Excellent demonstration. Just received my one. Expecting great results.
Great review, calm and easy to watch. Picked mine up this morning, using already.. look fwd to seeing results. Thanks for your great review! 😊👏👍
Have just seen your video and I would just like to say that you were excellent at explaining how it works clear and exactly what was needed to know cheers paddy
This was the best and most detailed review I could find! Such a relief to see how it’s done- thank you for the great video!!
I got this machine last week and so happy with it. Love the video. Thanks for sharing!
Really helpful! Thank you for the excellent review, set up, and lesson.
Excellent video. Thank you. I couldn't make up my mind, which breadmaker I wanted, but your video has reassured me that this is a great one. 👍 Good detail and covered all the info a real user would need to know. Impressed you read the manual first and so could explain what each thing is and what it does. 😊
This was a great video with detailed explanations. Thank you so much for posting. I’ve now had my first loaf and all thanks to your super video.
Thankyou so much for your wonderful review! I've never had a breadmaker before and all thr choices are so different. This one made my shortlist and your video helped so much ❤
Thank you for your great review, I was hesitant to buy such an expensive breadmaker but still really wanted it. Your review convinced me I was making th eright choice so went ahead and ordered it and im so pleased that I did. Stock is now very low of the 2540 model but I managed to get one from Lakeland. In the past week ive made at least 5 loaves, all were perfect! Before this I had the Morphy Richards Fast Bake and this Panasonic machine makes a far better loaf with the same recipe. Thank you for convincing me
Thanks mate, listening to you was amazing, I just ordered mine from Amazon now.
Thank you for your review. It was very helpful and great to see the entire process from box opening to sliced bread on plate video.
You have confirmed our decision to buy this model which we will do as soon as I finish these comments. Again, thank you.
Loved watching you make bread. It turned out so well! :)
Fantastic Demo,thank you so much,thinking about buying this!
That was an excellent review. I have just bought a new Panasonic SD-YR2550, had read the book but I was nervous when it sat there quietly with the timer running . My default to panic is always to seek guidance from TH-cam. Initially, I was directed to the Panasonic site - that gave celebrity demos, but little detail. Next was your video - you covered the process and detail brilliantly, gave an absolutely perfect summary of the process and the machine's operating stages. Thank you so much, mine is now happily whirring away, making my first Rye loaf. Your bread looked amazing! Thank you again, Vox.
Aww thank you for your kind words, I hope your rye bread was good. I have made it myself and, well, I think it may be an acquired taste, lol.
I love this recipe I used in the video, I make it a lot.
谢谢你，解释得很清楚，对我很有帮助，希望你能做更多的频道。👍
I've just gotten a Panasonic sd-yr2550, but I haven't used it. Not clear to use, but now I'm OK. You presented step-by-step till I can use it. Thanks a lot.
Thank you that was a very good and clear review. You made it very easy to understand.
Excellent best instruction video I have watched in a long time. Sold me the Panasonic bread maker, extremely clear cut instructions and made my mouth water at the end.
10/10 thanks
I bought this machine yesterday and made a X-Large white loaf in it just to try and it was fantastic, a lot better than my old machine. Will be trying the mixed seed one tomorrow when I get some seeds. Thank you for your great video. xx
Do you still like the machine?
Thanks for a great video with everything explained really well. I haven't got a breadmaker yet but this one seems to be top quality.
Fantastic review. Thank you!
this is a really good video, please do more about the Panasonic SD-YR2540. you made this look so easy. , your video convinced me to get one on prime day
Thank you very much for this great review
Thank you, this is a brilliant video I got mine today 😊
The best vidéo ive seen to make bread
Thank you
oh man that was brilliant. i watched the whole thing. i dont know jack about bread makers and im looking at getting one. i learned a thing or two. cheers. also that guide thing for making slices is awesome. cheers from new zealand
I’ve just purchased this model, never had a bread making machine before. I used the machine before watching your demo. I did it ok! 🙄but I’d just like to say thank you so much for your demo it made it so much easier and has put my mind at rest. 🤣👍
have just purchased this model from ARGOS pick it up monday . looking forward to it even more now after your brilliant review , well done young man .
Thank you. Panasonic make the best breadmakers and I have had a few over the years and non make bread as well as the Panasonic. They invented them, so it stands to reason I suppose. Enjoy! Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.
So helpful. Thank you.
I have just purchased the same machine.
Thanks for the video - really helped this newbie
Loved it buddy. I just bought one . Can’t wait . Tham
Thanks for the video.Gibi Roslind Australia
Just bought mine. Thank's for demonstration.
Excellent, enjoy! You’re welcome.
Excellent video, very well filmed and well explained.
That bread looks amazeballs
That loaf looks (and sounds) fabulous.
I really enjoyed watching your very thorough review.
All the best.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad it was entertaining/useful. 😊
Thank you for the video bro! Very nice!
This was really helpful. Thanks.
Well done... not only did I buy the machine after your review, but I also hunted down and bought the bamboo slicer :D
Well done a very comprehensive review .i bought the model below @£159 And made whole meal 7 seeded loaf with as you did excellent results .it has seed dispenser but not a yeast dispenser and does not preheat ( so those two features add £80 to the price I paid) so if the budget is tight go for the SD-R2530 and the results will be the same without the bells and whistles ,your demonstration was excellent and gave me an honest comparison to compare against the model I purchased .
Very clear and helpful . Thank you
I had a Panasonic SD-2511 sadly no longer works, upgraded to SD YR2550 recently, thank you for the demonstration
Great review. Many thanks.
Good review thanks.
Great review. I’ve just bought the model below with the seed dispenser but no yeast dispenser. Can’t wait to try it out.
Just got one as a Christmas present today 😁 (I tried 3 times to get it and 3 times i was sent the wrong stuff, it was from a catalogue). Thank you so much for the video, I have no patience to go through the manual 😅
thanks for the great review, I am always so indecisive when I want to purchase anything! but your review made my mind up for me, breads on the go as I type :-)
Oh you’ll love it! It’s an excellent breadmaker and makes wonderful bread! Panasonic do it best.
Brilliant review. 👌👌👌
Great video.! Love your coffeemachine.😊
Great demonstration thank you. Where did you get the bread slicer from?
Great video thanks, just about to upgrade my machine from an older Panasonic model which has served me well.
This could easily be my next bread maker after my Andrew James bread maker gives up. It is a work horse that one I currently have and has been super reliable and it’s super duper quiet. My one was actually as quiet as your Panasonic one.
Tnks for this video
You have given me a reason to own one
thankyou for showing how to use the breadmaker. we have just bought one and and the instruction booklet was a bit bamboozleing ! i then found your video here and from then on - plain sailing. p.s i love your wooden bread slicer aid
Thank you for sharing
Gosh, thanks so much for this video! Especially for the mentioning of the pre-heating... (22:22) I was wondering why it didn't start kneading immediately after I turned it on like my old one did... Now I know why. Honestly, when I only use the kneading option, a normal toast is done in 2:30 h... 1:30 kneading/resting, putting it in a form, 50 mins baking. I'm curious if the panasonic does a similar good job as my oven does. But energywise it will of course be much better.
Can't wait to try out my usual rye/spelt sourdough bread - my old machine didn't manage to knead it properly, that's why I bought the panasonic.
Your test bread looks extremely good. Thanks again, take care and happy baking!
Just bought this today. First loaf being made!
Excellent! How was it? ☺️
thanks, very useful. My partner got me one for my birthday and i been putting off using until today. Got a GF loaf in there now. One thing i noticed in the instruction booklet, is it doesn't advise which seeds/nuts go straight into the pan and which ones go into the dispenser.
Thanks for your video, you’ve just made me invest in one...👍👍👍
Loved it, cheers mate
Thank you, you’re welcome.
Thank you. This video is useful. Thanks
Wonderful video 😊😅 will save for one of these.
Thanks for taking the time to review!
Just wondering how reliable the bread maker has been over the past few years? Any issues?
Very detailed review, you could be a good sponsor really. I just bought it, thanks for the detailed view. =)
Hello Alex, love the video thanks. Where did you get the wooden bread slicer guide? It looks ace
You were awesome Thank you
Hi mate, nicely put together!
I'm receiving my Pan 550 today, I'm baking keto recipe bread using vital wheat gluten etc so will probably use prog 5 (bread mix) as only one rise is needed, does prog 5 utilise the yeast dispenser?
It ain't clear in the instructions. As there's no preheat I'll make sure wet ingredients are tepid, thanks!
This is a great video. It was good to watch you share your whole experience of buying the machine, the delivery, unpacking, washing etc. I had the same model delivered this morning purchased from John Lewis with £50 off. I would use healthy oil, eg cold pressed rapeseed oil, instead of butter, my Panasonic SD-255 manual advises 2 Tbs oil is equivalent to 25g butter. Panasonic have increased the sugar and salt amounts in their recipes for the current range of machines. You don’t actually need any sugar in bread recipes, I never use it and I get excellent results. You only need 1 tsp salt for a loaf around that size. I found it so extremely helpful that you showed us how to select the menu/programme, loaf size, crust colour and use all the buttons. That’s the bit I wasn’t sure about and I was concerned about getting it right until I watched your video. The only bad thing about your video is that you told people that after taking the loaf out, if you can’t get the paddle out you should put water in the bread pan and soak it for 30 minutes. The manual says put warm water in the bread pan and wait 5-10 minutes. It specifies that you should not leave it for too long a time. I recommend the Panasonic Bread Maker Recipe Group UK & Ireland Facebook group for anyone on Facebook.
Hey, great video, do you know if it's possible to mute somehow (turn off) beeping sound ?
Nice video illustration. Thanks. The manual describes removing the Dispenser lid (p26 under Cleaning & Care). How do you do this?
Hello, an excellent demonstration! Could you please tell me from where you got your slicing device? Thank you
Hi - Great video. I am looking for a bread slicing guide and yours looked good. What make is it and where did you get it from? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your review, I found it very helpful as I’m thinking about buying this model. I think you uploaded the video in 2021 and I wonder, now you’re more familiar with it, if you’re as impressed with it and if you’ve found any negative points? Thanks again, take care. Peter
Hi. Thanks for the video. But there is one question for me: Is it possible to use the nut and fruit dispenser with the gluten-free programs? Woult be nice to get an answer.
Greetings
Thank you.
Good evening: I want to ask what energy rating is this product? Looked everywhere can’t find it, great video I’ve watched it many times now
Hi Alex. I have had my Panasonic for a number of years and am quite envious that the newer model you have has the sourdough option. The cakes made in the machine are equally as good.Thanks for demonstrating.
I can’t wait to try the sourdough! Takes a bit of time but I bet it tastes really good!
I believe Panasonics are the cream of the crop of breadmakers, people seem to rave about them. Not tried making a cake in it yet but look forward to trying that! ❤️
Found this searching in despair for the reason my SD-YR2540HXC didn't immediately start the breadmaking program. Why the machine requires those 30 mins before starting is beyond me, and I'd love to be able to bypass that 'feature'. Anyway you were the only Ytuber who pointed this out .. so thumbs up to you chook.
@@CulturedThugPoster the rest period brings everything to a warmer temp and it's helps the water and the flour combine to align the starches and gluten.
@@marcbaigrie2295 I find I have better results using the quick program if not similar results to the longer programs. I have had to experiement with the proportions and flour/yeast types. Pro tip use slightly more yeast and a touch of brown sugar, add butter and/or milk (small amount) or Olive oil for best results. When dialing in your recipe keep the lid open and pay attention to the dough mix, by the second kneeding you should have a nice well shaped ball that slowly rotates around the mixing bowl.
@@Thesweaterfactory What are your thoughts about the bread maker, 2 years on?
Wow lovely thanks. How do I use bake only function
More videos with different recipes, Please.
I have thought about doing a sourdough recipe on video. Watch this space. ☺️
Thank you so much for such a clear, helpful and detailed review. I have had 2 Panasonic bread makers in the past but these earlier models didn’t have a yeast dispenser. I have just bought the SD-YR 2550 model which I used for the first time a few days ago. I was disappointed that the large loaf I baked had only risen very slightly and was much smaller than expected. However, when I took it out of the machine there was dry yeast everywhere, in the lid, and in the bottom of the casing. It did make quite a noise when the yeast went in from the dispenser but I’m wondering if mine might be faulty? I’ve contacted Panasonic and they’ve advised me to try baking another loaf, but I wonder if you or anyone else reading this might have encountered the same problem? I’m sure this is why my loaf was so small as it obviously didn’t get enough yeast judging by all the deposits distributed all around the unit. I would be grateful for any replies. Thank you!
No not faulty ; it’s very easy common mistakes & beginner make new to the machine to spill dry yeast powder everywhere when measuring & pouring.Especially if you later on then lift the closed lid before the bread has been baked. while the yeast is still in the dispenser & lid
@@mews56 thank you for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately, the bread maker was faulty. I found the yeast had not only fallen into the body of the machine but had also somehow fallen out onto the worktop under the machine, which I found when I moved it. I had been very careful about filling the yeast dispenser and hadn’t spilled any. Anyway, it was returned and I bought another one which is working perfectly!
Hello! Where’d you get your wooden slicing guide?
Thanks alot
Waw its nice thank you
Can you please explain why does whole wheat bread gets dense and heavy? How can we make them light and fluffy
I have a problem with the yeast smell of the bread even if I tried several recipes and multiple instant yeast producers. Do you have any recommendation?
I compared it with another manufacturer (Tefal Bread of the World) and those breads were smelling better.
Really good review. I think Im gonna go get one of these. What would happen if I follow all instructions but without adding the sugar? Would that spoil the mix? Thanks again.
Sugar is food for the yeast, it assists with the fermentation of the bread as well as adding flavour and colour to the crust. If you don’t want to use sugar you can also use honey. French bread recipes usually omit sugar. 😊
спасибо за обзор. Вы мне очень помогли .
Hi Alex. Thanks for the detailed video. I own a Panasonic 2511 and the loaves that come out are very tall. Looking at this new model they look wider and more like a traditional loaf. Can you confirm that for me please? Also, is the yeast dispense noisy enough to wake you up and night - it sounded quite loud. Many thanks in advance.
Hi Alan, you’re welcome. The bread tin should be the same size, but maybe it is slightly different but looks the same size and shape as previous models. The yeast dispenser is quite noisy but when the machine is downstairs and you’re upstairs asleep if can barely be heard. I have used the timer twice so far and it never bothered me or woke me up.
Hope this helps.
@@Thesweaterfactory Hi Alex. Very helpful, thank you. Might have to treat myself. 😊
Isn't there a dispenser for the seeds that you put in manually???
I have Active Dried Yeast from my last Panasonic bread Maker machine can i use that up first
Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed review! I bought one and the first loaves came out fine. The next ones looked as if they were baked only on the one side of the tray, or they were baked in three pieces or came out really chewy... I'm so confused!! Any ideas what could be going wrong??
Sounds like a touch too much water in the mix.
Hi can you test Crust level? Simple 3 same breads with different crust levels. thx
I bought the Panasonic SD-YR2550 breadmaker for my wife’s birthday. It is replacing a 15 year-old SD-255. Thanks for this video it is very informative. My wife is looking forward to trying the gluten free recipes.
Thank you for this review. My son bought this bread maker and I’ve not been able to use it, as I didn’t want to break it! But my son allowed me to use it this morning if I read the instructions properly (he doesn’t trust me much with his gadgets!) but I find reading things difficult, so I came to TH-cam and found your video, I’ve just put all the ingredients and extras in alongside listening to you do yours and I felt confident I had done it all correctly. I’m excited to see if I have done it correctly, waiting 4 hours now! Could you please let me know where your bread slicer was from? It looks brilliant
I am so pleased it helped you get going. It’s lots of fun and the bread is great! The slicer was from Amazon, I can’t remember the particular seller but if you just put it “bread cutting guide” you will find many versions, as well as a similar version to the one I have.
Hello does it also pause? Example when you open the lid?
Thanks
Hi. Can I use Sainsburys Taste the difference Multiseed bread mix in this breadmaker? Also, where did you get that fab little wooden bread cutting gadget?! Thank you for sharing x
Absolutely yes, infact this machine has a bread mix programme and gives you details of how to use bread mixes with this machine.
I got the slicing guide from Amazon. 😀
Nice video about panasonic bread maker and ...in the same time about salter scale "are a bit dodgy"😂
