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 never seen the point. I made some simple bread rolls tonight.

With the dough hook it took me 5 minutes to mix the dough.

The another 5 minutes to form it into rolls and they just came out of the oven.

Literally took 10 minutes of effort to make them. While I was drinking a glass of wine and playing on my phone.

I agree! If making bread rolls is a fun and quick activity, definitely not worth it!

But I have never been able to make rolls, and just basic white bread. As a lazy human being, and I'll drop ingredients into a slow cooker and come back in five hours. Same with this, and have some tasty sandwich bread.

Rolls is when I want to be fancy, and it also takes me 3-4x longer than most human beings because im not very skilled.
