On Saturday my dad told me about this machine. His friend said it is popular in North America. And my dad is interested in this machine. I found it via the net and I bought it. It looks nice and I hope the result will go well. It's very convenient. You just need to input the ingredients and the bread maker machine will finish all of the work, including mixing the flour, ferment and baking. It can make different kinds of bread. It will deliver to me tomorrow and I can't wait to try to make bread at home

I have a bread machine, but I never use it. It is on the shelf in the pantry. I have a ton of yeast that I need to use, so I should probably dig it out and put it to some use. Congratulations on your purchase. I hope you like it.

I can't believe that you haven't used your bread machine yet. I like to tell you that I may have 5g yeast at home. That's what I left from making a pizza at home:)

I got one these for Christmas this year. I got the little book out of the box to see what ingredients I needed to buy but I haven't done it yet. This post reminds me that I need to find that booklet! My bread machine is still in its box. I want to try it but I always forget to get the stuff when I am at the grocery store. I want to find a good recipe for sourdough bread because it is my favorite!

Congratulations! I would loooooove to have a bread machine because I have a severe sensitivity to sodium and some grains and would like to have control over how much is going into my bread. But, it's hard work to make bread with all the kneading by hand, so a machine would be great! But, alas, at this moment, I have stopped eating bread for health reasons, but plan to start eating it again, soon.

But I think bread is a healthy food. And the bread make by ourselves can be reliable and trusted:) At least we can make sure it has no quality problem:)

I've been baking Bread in a Bread machine for over 20 years and I've worn out 4 machines. The machine does make good bread but its not as simple as you might think. It takes time to get to know how wet to make the loaf, and if you get it too wet you have to add additional Flour. Once you have some experience, you can experiment with different recipes. There are hundreds of good recipes available, but as you will soon find, the bread is only as good as the Quality of the ingredients. For instance, powered milk will not be as delicious as liquid milk when used as an ingredient. My Favourite is Potato bread, and I've tried powdered Mashed Potatoes as a shortcut, but have found that the best potato bread is made with a freshly baked whole Potato.

Perhaps this machine has improved, so that it can really make a bread automatically. Let's see the result after a few days:)

Wow thats amazing It seems like they are making so much these days. What are they going to make next. Lol... But let us know how this machine works because it sounds interesting. I love bread. Bread is so good, especially fresh bread. Bread can almost go with any meal that you partake on.

I knew someone who was allergic to certain ingredients in bread, she bought a bread machine to make her own bread, because she really missed not being able to have bread. She could make bread for herself using ingredients she could eat, she said it was the best thing she ever bought, because you can make all sorts of bread in it, so she could make bread for her and bread for the rest of the family. She said that in the long run she would end up saving quite a bit of money.

That's right. This machine can really make different kinds of bread and after some time you get used to it. You can create your own style bread.

I've had a bread machine for years. It'll take a bit of trial and error to get the bread right, so don't be discouraged if you don't get success with it right off. You have to use the right sort of yeast, fast action yeast that's intended for use in bread machines. The regular type of dried yeast, the sort which is used when you make bread the old-fashioned way, that won't work in a bread machine. also, salt will inhibit the action of yeast, so I stopped putting salt in and I found that did help with the success rate. I now only get the occasional failure.
18 Mar 08
Oh and another thing. Be sure to use the right sort of flour. You need to use flour that is specifically described as being intended for bread making. It's usually described here (in the UK) as "strong" or just as "bread flour." Don't use self rising flour or plain flour that is intended for cakes. It's too fine for bread. Good luck!

I've owned a bread machine for many years. When I first got it I used it a lot and even bought one for my mother-in-law. I found I liked useing the boxed mixes best although I did find some wonderful recipes I liked. My favorite was oatmeal raisin bread. Be sure to use Bread Machine Flour as the regular flour does not work as well. If you must use regular flour do not buy the selfrising kind and be sure to use fresh yeast. Yeast does not work as well when it gets older. Enjoy, I'm sure you will love it and be creating all kinds of wonderful breads. Mine can even be set on a timer so I come home to the smell of fresh backed bread.

Great, I looked at one when I was in the states. I was watching a friend of mine making bread with the bread machine. Indeed I was quite fascinated how easy it was because you simply just dump everything in and without having to worry about anything because the machine does all the work! I didn't get to try the bread, I also wonder how it turned out to be!

Yes, we have one of these and it is indeed wonderful. Everything is automatic and the bread comes out just wonderful every time. What I like best about it is that we put many extra healthy ingredients in the bread that are tasty but also give better nutrition than most store bought products, although the bakeries are getting better about that nowadays, as they have to complete with people like you and me who have the ability to make our own if they don't. Good for you and enjoy it!

I don't own a bread maker, but one of my friends does and he makes the best bread in it, and it looks so easy. He just adds the ingredients and when he wakes up in the morning, he's got fresh bread waiting for him. And there are tons of great bread-maker recipes on allrecipes.com, if you're interested.

Actually it's not very expensive to buy it via the net. I have checked the price in the store, the price is nearly double than buying via the net.

I hope you have years of enjoyment out of your machine - did you buy it new or used? I like to use it for kneeding the dough but bake the bread in the oven.... unless it is summer, the machine is nice as it does not heat up the house like the regular oven does. I make a lot of pizza dough in our machine.
