Y'all have been tempting me with your declious looking bread. I realize a bread machine is going to make simple loafs and not the stuff that's usually posted here, but curious on thoughts if they're worth it?

I'm low on time and lazy. I won't make bread if I have to whip out my KitchenAid and dough hook. Tossing some ingredients in a machine I can do though, plus it could make the dough for more complex things too if I do occasionally have the energy.

Should I do it?

I have a pretty big kitchen, but I wouldn't sacrifice the space.

High hydration, low yeast bread is absurdly easy to prepare. No kneeling, just a few minutes of work every half hour until the gluten forms. Throw it in the fridge or leave it on the counter for a while, and bake in the oven.

You really don't need half the crap we enthusiasts use.
