Our take
The Pioneer Woman by Hamilton Beach 29889 combines 14 programmed cycles with selectable 1, 1.5, and 2 lb loaves on Basic, French, Whole Grain, and Sweet. It has dedicated Gluten Free and Whole Grain menus, two Express settings, a chemically leavened Quick cycle, and a separate Artisan Dough program for dough that will be shaped and baked in an oven. Its manual also documents a seven-minute power-memory window and a one-hour Warm phase. The main workflow trade-off is manual add-ins and Express loaves that can be smaller and rougher.
For buyers wanting a North American 1–2 lb machine with gluten-free recipes, long-rise dough, and dishwasher-safe removable parts..
Not for buyers who require automatic fruit/nut dispensing, a verified horizontal loaf, a custom cycle memory, or a 60-minute-or-faster 1.5 lb yeast loaf.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The manual documents 1, 1.5, and 2 lb selectors on four bread programs plus dedicated 1.5 and 2 lb Express settings.
- A Gluten Free recipe at 1.5 lb, Artisan Dough, adjustable Rise, Jam, Cake, and a one-hour Warm phase are documented.
- Hamilton Beach describes the pan and removable parts as dishwasher-safe.
What to weigh up
- Mix-ins require a manual beep response rather than an automatic dispenser.
- Express cycles take 80 and 115 minutes, and the manual warns their loaves can be smaller and rougher.
- The timer is limited to four cycles, includes bake time in the 15-hour maximum, and excludes perishable ingredients.

What the features mean for you
Selectable size and cycle differences
Basic, French, Whole Grain, and Sweet allow selection of 1, 1.5, or 2 lb loaves. The two Express programs are fixed instead: the manual lists a 1.5 lb loaf at 1 hour 20 minutes and a 2 lb loaf at 1 hour 55 minutes. It cautions that those faster loaves may be smaller and rougher than Basic. The Quick menu is different again: it uses chemical leavening rather than yeast. Buyers should compare the cycle and size together rather than treating each as a generic speed option.
Gluten Free recipe and ingredient handling
The machine has a named Gluten Free cycle and the manual includes a 1.5 lb formula using gluten-free all-purpose flour. A separate recipe titled Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread uses regular bread flour, so it does not establish a 2 lb gluten-free formula. Neither the setting nor recipe certifies the machine for celiac-safe preparation or guarantees protection from cross-contact. For nuts or raisins, the manual directs users to wait for a 12-beep prompt and add ingredients by hand; no automatic fruit/nut dispenser is documented.
Timer, Rise, and artisan dough
A delay setting is available on Basic, French, Whole Grain, and Sweet. Its maximum of 15 hours counts the selected cycle's bake time, and the manual warns against delaying recipes with dairy, eggs, or other perishable ingredients. Rise can be set for up to six hours. The separate Artisan Dough cycle provides a long, cool rise before the user shapes and bakes the dough in an oven. Dough, Cake, Jam, and Bake are distinct programs with different tasks.
Power, care, and limits
The manual says a bake can continue automatically if power returns within seven minutes. If the dough has begun rising, users should discard the ingredients and start over; before that point, restarting the cycle is possible. After baking, the unit switches to Warm for one hour. Hamilton Beach describes the pan as nonstick and dishwasher-safe, and the manual marks the paddle and measuring accessories dishwasher-safe. It lists one kneading paddle. Dimensions, loaf orientation, and ceramic coating are not established.
Exact model and shopping checks
Hamilton Beach's product page names the Fiona Floral Artisan Dough & Bread Maker as model 29889, and its linked manual supplies the cycle and care details used here. The preserved Amazon row is historical identity evidence only: the direct B0BKZ7N1R6 page returned an internal error, so current condition, seller, bundle, and exact-ASIN variant are not confirmed. Use the tagged model-search link and verify the label and contents on any offer. The North American 120 V / 60 Hz rating is documented in the manual.
What else to compare
Before you buy
Which cycles allow loaf-size selection?
Basic, French, Whole Grain, and Sweet allow 1, 1.5, and 2 lb choices. Express uses fixed 1.5 and 2 lb settings.
How fast is the 1.5 lb Express loaf?
The manual lists 1 hour 20 minutes and warns that Express loaves may be smaller and rougher than Basic.
Is Quick another fast yeast loaf?
No. Quick is for chemically leavened bread; Express uses quick-rising yeast and has separate fixed sizes.
Does the manual include a gluten-free recipe?
Yes, a 1.5 lb formula uses gluten-free flour. The separate 2 lb sandwich recipe uses regular flour and is not counted as gluten-free.
Does it dispense add-ins automatically?
No automatic dispenser is documented. The manual calls for adding fruit or nuts after a 12-beep signal.
Can I use the delay timer with perishable ingredients?
The manual warns against delaying bread with dairy, eggs, or other perishable ingredients; the timer applies to four listed menus only.
