Sage – The Custom Loaf – Bread Maker, Brushed Stainless Steel

The Sage Custom Loaf Bread Maker is built for serious bakers and passionate foodies who want more than just preset programmes. With its powerful yet compact design, intuitive LCD control, and a full range of manual and automatic modes, this bread maker turns everyday ingredients into bakery-quality bread—exactly how you like it.

What sets this machine apart is its ability to customise every stage of the baking cycle. You can adjust kneading, proving, and baking durations and save up to 9 personalised settings for future use. Whether you’re crafting gluten-free loaves, crusty sourdough, or even cinnamon raisin bread, it adapts to your exact recipe requirements.

The automatic fruit and nut dispenser ensures mix-ins are added at the perfect time, while the collapsible kneading blade reduces that common “paddle hole” at the base of your loaf. Plus, the 60-minute power interruption protection keeps your bake safe, even during unexpected outages.

With Sage’s iconic brushed stainless steel finish, this bread maker isn’t just powerful—it’s a stunning addition to any kitchen.
