Where has this magical appliance been all my life? $20 at Goodwill, 2 minutes of prep, and zero interaction till it’s done!

Bread machines have been a thing for like 30+ years. They’re fine if you value convenience.

Haha this is so funny I’ve only ever made bread in the bread machine

Careful, you will make loaf after loaf until you find perfection. Then you’ll realize it’s better when baked in the oven so you’ll get a dough mixer. Then will start milling your own flour for health & deliciousness. Then you’ll want to get into sourdough… (that’s where I’m at)

I had one 25 years ago… LOVED THAT THING! I didn’t have the skill or equipment or patience to make traditional bread. Nothing beats a warm fresh thick cut piece of bread slathered in butter.

If yours has a dough setting they’re great for that too! I’ve put in pizza dough ingredients, set the timer, and come home to ready to go pizza dough! Or cinnamon roll dough ready for you first thing in the morning! Have fun! 🍞❤️

Nice golden loaf—congratulations!

I would use mine more but hate the little hole in the dead set middle of the loaf

I have one from goodwill too! Mine bakes a perfectly fine loaf in about 4 hours. It’s just big and heavy and I don’t have a great place to store it. I also make fancy bread. There’s room in my life for both.

I love the bread machine! It reminds me of my childhood when my mom and grandma used to bake with them. The bread always turns out so fantastic and fluffy—probably what sparked my interest in bread and baking 🙂 ♥️

But you are missing out on the cathartic workout and the joy of shaping /s

This is how it all started for me.
Made on of those loaves, realized it was miles ahead of anything from the store, and 2 months later I was experimenting with Ciabattas

Ur gonna make me pull mine out lolll— I’ve been strictly sourdough since I started my bread journey. It may be nice to have a simpler process every now and again.
I do enjoy the slow burn/process that it takes to make a great sourdough bread

I got that Hitachi home bakery and it mixes all my pizza doughs <3 😀

You just jump into a rabbit hole 🕳️

Bread machines are a truly underappreciated appliance. So many people don’t have time or interest to spend hours a day on bread making but still love fresh baked bread (who doesn’t!?).

Wanna know a secret? Been using the dough option on my bread maker for a decade plus now, the machine does it’s thing and after that I shape it and cook in the oven. Never had the need to pay for a expensive stand mixer, it’s temperature regulated, it’s timed and never fails. Pizza dough, brioche dough, you name it.

My parents had one growing up. I miss it. We all used to fight to get the end piece because it was always so soft and fluffy. You just brought back so many memories lol.

I use mine to mix my dough, mostly due to lack of counter space and I dont like the hole left by the small paddle in the bottom

I used to have a bread machine (which died a natural death after quite a few years of faithful use) and have seriously considered getting another one just for kneading because I loathe kneading with every fibre of my being, but I can’t just eat no-knead bread for the rest of my life

Haha! I have that bread machine! I love the bread it makes.

I have a bread machine from 1996 that was my grandma’s and it’s still going strong!

I have had several bread machines through the years. My first was a hand-me-down that did a great job mixing but wasn’t so great with the baking, so I got into the habit of using it to mix and then I shape it into rolls, etc and bake it myself. Even now that’s how I prefer to use the fancy one my husband got for me. Do yourself a favor and check out Frieda Loves Bread. She had a whole section on bread machine tips and recipes

Man people out there living their best lives findin bread makers and all I find at good will are poopy pants and bed bugs

It all depends on my mood and my schedule. Dump stuff in and have a nice loaf in a few hours, or do everything by hand and work bits of life around the rising times. I like doing both, but the machine only spits out one at a time. I can make several doing the hard way. Mood. Always comes back to my mood.

part of what I love about baking bread is the interaction.

Good lort use less pressure or get a sharper bread knife lolol

Awesome! Do you care to share your recipe with us?

My Breville Bread Machine is my absolute favorite appliance. I use the dough setting to make pizza dough and let proof in the refrigerator for 24 hrs.

Now shop for a sharp knife at goodwill!

I could never get past the hole left in the bottom of the loaf by the mixing paddle and having to dig the paddle out of a fresh loaf.
I picked up a refurbished Kitchen Aid Pro 600 for $160 a few years ago, and I either bake my bread in an inverted Lodge Combo Cooker (shallow cast iron on the bottom) or in an old slow cooker ceramic crock from a dead unit

How was the bread?? Mine always come out dense, not sure what I’m doing wrong 🫤

A bread machine is a great tool for starting to make your own bread, and when you realize it’s literally just a mixer with an oven combined it’ll hopefully intrigue you more to making your own bread. I would say have fun experimenting with flavors too, cheese bread, rosemary garlic, the world is your oyster, and hopefully you’ll get into dutch oven baking it’s fun and the loafs come out like beauties.

Used to love my bread machine. Made lots of doughs and breads, but never enjoyed digging out that paddle from the loaf.
UnMeOuttaTown
damn! That’s some loaf
wheretohides
My parents have one that does the entire process of baking bread. You dump the ingredients in, it kneads the dough, then waits, and bakes it.
