I teach full-time and don't have time to bake bread as often as I would
like so it does sound like an appliance that would help me. I just
hesitate to buy an appliance that I might have trouble using. I read
about all these bread flops from machines and get scared off a bit.
What I would like from a machine is:
* a loaf that looked good because I would like to bring bread to
shut-ins.
*a machine that is not complicated to use or has a lot of problems that
I have to spend months experimenting with it.
*can handle whole grains (but I will probably be making half ww and half
white most of the time.)
*sweet breads would be nice.
*I don't want my first machine to cost a lot of money. I'll upgrade if I
end up using it a lot.
I don't care at all about the jam, butter, etc. I want a bread machine.
I know how to make jam and butter the old-fashioned way <smile>.
Thanks for your help!
