Bread Machines: Homemade Bread without the Work



With the mention of homemade bread, most people may visualize hours of work; mixing, kneading, waiting and baking.  However, in this day in age, making homemade bread can be quite easy.  The trick is simple; use a bread machine.  There are many different types of bread machines and I cannot speak for all of them.  However, a bread machine will allow you to spend no more than ten minutes in preparation and the machine does the rest.  Preparation includes measuring the ingredients, putting the ingredients in a pot, entering settings, and pushing start.

Benefits of Homemade Bread:
  1. Economical: Make a loaf of whole wheat sandwich bread for 44 cents in materials as apposed to $3-4 a loaf at the grocery store.
  2. Health Benefits: You decide what to put in your bread and you know exactly what is in it.  Plus there are no preservatives.
  3. Quality of Life: There's nothing like waking up to the aroma of freshly baked bread.  Enjoy the superior taste of homemade bread while investing minimal time and energy.
Bread Machine Uses:
  1. White or Whole Wheat Bread
  2. Sandwich Bread
  3. Pizza Dough
  4. Roles or Croissants
  5. French Bread
  6. the list goes on...
So if you would like to get a bread machine, be sure to shop around to find the bread maker with the features that work best for you.  My favorite feature on my machine is the timer, which allows me to specify when I want the bread to be ready.  Also, since not every machine is created equal, be sure also to read the reviews.  Though I have only used one type of bread machine, I am sold on the invention and sure that you will be too.
