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?

If you know someone who has one you could borrow for a few weeks, that would be ideal. I mostly use mine to make dough and then bake in the oven. For regular sandwich loaves that’s because the bread machine pan makes loaves that are too wide for my taste.

For recipes, King Arthur Flour’s website is a good resource.

The shape of the bread is a big downside of bread machines if you ask me. And you get the donut slice. It is very convenient for making the dough though.
