I don't know, I will have to try it. I have a good recipe for Lemon Poppyseed bread that uses Lemoncake mix. I might try this next week. My son made it this week for our county fair and he won a blue ribbon.... He also made Italian Herb bread and won Grand Champion and he used.........PC Itilan Herb seasoning and PC Rosemary seasoning....I think I will take his picture and sent it to HO with him holding his Rosette and the bread. And he can take his bread (new loaf) to the State Fair and compete.

I've made banana bread, cornbread, and cobblers in the microwave without a problem. They have a similar texture to cake in the microwave and you just need to be sure you don't overbake or they will get pretty dry. The banana bread takes 14-15 minutes in the fluted, and the loafs take 7-9 minutes depending on the size of the loaf and your microwave. Good luck!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make bread in the microwave?
Yes, you can make bread in the microwave, but the texture and flavor may differ from traditional oven-baked bread. Microwaving bread typically results in a denser and chewier product, so it's best for quick recipes like mug bread or flatbreads.
What types of bread can be made in the microwave?
You can make various types of quick breads in the microwave, such as mug bread, banana bread, or even simple flatbreads. These recipes usually require minimal ingredients and can be prepared quickly.
How long does it take to cook bread in the microwave?
The cooking time for bread in the microwave varies depending on the recipe and the wattage of your microwave. Generally, quick breads can take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. It's important to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the bread is done.
Do I need special equipment to make bread in the microwave?
No special equipment is required to make bread in the microwave, but using a microwave-safe mug or bowl is essential. Additionally, silicone baking mats or microwave-safe containers can help with even cooking.
Can you make bread dough in advance for microwave cooking?
Yes, you can prepare bread dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a short period. However, it's best to cook it soon after preparation for optimal texture and flavor. If you refrigerate it, allow it to come to room temperature before microwaving for even cooking.
