Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I own a bread maker and a kitchen aid. I use my kitchen aide way more then my bread machine. I just put everything in the bowl let it mix and then change to a dough hook let it do the needing. I cover the bowl and let it rise. Punch it down. Put it in the pan for the second rise. Bake the bread. Plus I use it for a million other things! The bread maker is in my hall closet. It's too big and limited in uses that I like thekitchen aide better. Now the price difference is HUGE though. Sorry for the shameless plug!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I love making bread by hand, I do not much care for bread-making machines. To me part of the fun is shaping the loaves into different types, peasant (round), or baguette style, or else long but wider like ciabatta bread. Also if you want loaf slicing type bread just use a loaf, put the dough in there (I have a nice ceramic one). I have taught to make bread to different people and the consensus is that there is something soothing and comforting about kneading and shaping your own bread by hand. , " Mike " <realshows wrote: > > Should I do it? > Am i ready to get a breadmaker? > I'm mainly worried about the lack of space in my mini kitchen > > I hear it's super easy to make amazing bread...... > > mike > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I agree with you, completely, except that my bread machine is out in the garage, not the hall closet. I haven't used it for years. I use my kitchen Aid. I start with whole wheat berries and grind them myself so the flour is very fresh. Even with the time to grind the grain I have fresh bread on the table in two hours. It is more work that just plugging in the bread machine, but the bread is better and there is so much variety.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was given a breadmaker as a gift many years ago. Early nineties, perhaps. I wasn't fond of it for the first couple years or so. Then I began to understand how convenient it could be. Many times I worked and did not have the time to devote to kneading bread. With the bread machine I had the time. I prepared the dough in the machine, removed it after the first rising and then shaped it as I wished it to be, let it rise again and baked it. I use it sometimes just to knead the bread without leaving it in the machine to rise.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have one of the very first breadmakers...the DAK....still keep it on the counter.and use it occasionally to knead dough...BUT... Of late, I've been experimenting with two No-Knead Bread recipes.. They both take time to rise, but are not at all labor-intensive, just time. The one I'm playing with now you can either bake when it's done rising, or let all or part of the dough sit in the frige for up to two weeks. I've been extremely pleased with the results.

I'm mainly worried about the lack of space in my mini kitchen I hear it's super easy to make amazing bread...... mike I baked bread by hand for many, many years. Don't let anyone kid you into thinking that this is not an art. I had more than my share of flops until I became familiar with what the dough was supposed to look and feel like, the correct kneading technique, proper rising temps., etc. A bread machine takes all the guesswork out of the process. You dump everything in and three hours so later you have a beautiful loaf of bread. I wouldn't part with mine and pretty much use it once a week. So, yes, I think it's time! :-) TM ______________________ More new features than ever.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 That cracks me up. In the hall and the garage. I refused to take mine out of the kitchen because someday I was going to use it. lol. Before I got rid of it, it was used by my children as a stepping stool to reach the kitchen faucet to get drinks of water. I spent more time moving it around and never turned it on. I have gotten better though making bread. The very first loaf I made I never cooked. I must have missed that part when watching my grandma. No one ate it since it was soo sticky. I cook em now.
