I’ve had the Virtuoso for about a month. I thought I’d better finally get the Zojirushi Virtuoso before prices went up. A 25% tariff would be an extra $100 and a lot of places were sold out in the states. 

In the late 1970’s I took cooking courses including Culinary Arts and Industrial Baking, so it’s fun for me to have a good bread machine. We already have an induction Zojirushi 3 cup rice cooker so we knew we would like it. 

This is as big as it gets!  It’s never spilled over and it almost touches the glass sometimes. The extra burner in the top of the Virtuoso is perfect for this recipe, getting the top baked nicely. 

This Buttermilk Bread uses the first recipe in your Zojirushi cookbook, the one that’s on the side of the machine too. 

•There are only two modifications. Instead of using only nonfat dry milk I use both:

4g of Nonfat Dry Milk, and 
8g of Cultured Buttermilk Blend powder

•I also increase the cane sugar two grams, from 48g to 50g of cane sugar. 

Use Course 1 and select a light crust. 

This makes a big light loaf that’s great for sandwiches but it’s also great for the toaster and French Toast too. 

Here’s the whole recipe too:
