Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Ive been interested in a bread machine. So how does it work, you throw all the stuff in and it needs it and everything? Does it bake it too? Melissa On Behalf Of wwjd Sunday, July 19, 2009 1:02 PM Re: Bob's Red Mill bread mixes I love the smell of homemade bread baking too, Audrey. I use my bread machine. It sure takes all the time and energy out of making homemade bread doesn't it.

I make the dough in my bread machine and then bake in the oven. It makes my home smell wonderful, too! They even have a gluten-free mix and a low-carb, here are the rest of their mixes: http://www.bobsredmill.com/search.php?mode=search <http://www.bobsredmill.com/search.php?mode=search & page=1> & page=1 Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 It has a removable pan that has a little paddle in it that turns to mix and knead the dough for you. They have different settings (mine has 8 different ones) for white bread, wheat bread, breads with fruits & nuts, etc. Also one for dough, which kneads your dough and gets it ready to bake but does not bake it -- the other settings will bake the bread, too. I don't bake in mine for a couple of reasons -- one is that the pan is kind of square, so you don't end up with a pretty, loaf-shaped loaf if you bake in the machine. The dough cycle takes 1 1/2 hours, so when it's done, I just take the dough out and put it into my own loaf pan to bake. The other reason is that the darn loaf pan is non-stick and I prefer not to bake in non-stick, because I know that we end up eating a lot of Teflon (that can't be good) and because if it gets heated to a certain high temperature, it release fumes that can kill my parrots (birds have much more sensitive respiratory systems than we do). Hope this helps! I love my bread machine -- I've only successfully used mixes in it, though. The one time I tried a recipe, I made a big mess. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I used to have a bread machine, but the kind I had put a big hole down the center of my bread. I just bake it by hand. I have a Bosch mixer and I love it. I don't bake as much as I did before, but I love to make cinnamon rolls on the weekends.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah, mine does that too. That's why I bake it in the oven! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I don't know where you live, but where I live (Maryland), I see literally TONS of them in the thrift stores. Honestly, I usually see at least 3 per store per visit. I don't know what your thrift stores are like, but I would check there first. They are usually really, really cheap at thrift stores, too. I've seen them for around $5-25. You can always find the manual online if you find a used one that doesn't have it. At least that way you haven't invested a lot if you find you don't like it. If I knew where mine was, I would give it to you. I haven't used it in 10 years, but it is essentially brand new because I used it maybe 3 times. Also, check out this web site: www.thefreshloaf.com. I love it! They have all kinds of recipes for breads by hand, by machine, whatever. I will tell you to think about baking by hand. It can be time consuming, but I am telling you it is addictive. Another site that is good, and has good recipes for beginners is this one: http://www.redstaryeast.com/lessons/domestic_baking_lessons/ My daughter and I made the pizza dough (that was my first time ever). It is really good. Plus it was quick and easy. As you can tell, I am a bread fanatic. I also used to grind my own wheat, but due to my asthma had to stop. But nothing beats freshly ground flour. When I make pancakes with it, the batter literally has hundreds of bubbles--it looks like it's alive, which can be weird at first, but on the other hand it's really cool.
