An automatic bread producing apparatus has a baking chamber. A temperature sensor is operative for detecting a temperature within the baking chamber. A first device is operative for detecting a room temperature. A second device is operative for determining a corrective value in response to the room temperature detected by the first device. A third device is operative for correcting a first control temperature into a second control temperature in response to the corrective value determined by the second device. A fourth device is operative for controlling a bread producing process in response to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the second control temperature provided by the third device.
