Bread Makers
Is there anything better than the delectable scent of freshly baked bread wafting throughout your home? With a bread maker, you can enjoy this aroma morning, day, or night—and the best part? The fuss-free nature of a bread machine lets you set it and forget it with little to no manual labor when it comes to mixing, kneading, proofing, or baking it. If you're constantly running out of loaves, a bread maker is one of those small appliances that has you covered in a pinch with just a few staple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
Top Bread Machines for Loaves
The best bread maker will take the guesswork out of various loaves you may want to make. Typically, automatic bread makers have settings for white, wheat, French, sweet, and gluten-free loaves, in addition to quick options, so your family's preferences can easily be met. Sourdough bread makers are becoming increasingly popular, too, with the ability to combine ingredients to create a new sourdough starter and bake it within a loaf. You'll even find the option in many bread makers—including stainless steel bread machines and small bread machines—to craft cake mixes and jams, along with doughs for pizza and pasta. Lastly, you'll often be able to select your crust color and loaf size, so each loaf is customized to your exact taste. Do you prefer to bake it yourself, or are you looking to make a baguette? Have the bread maker knead and proof the dough, then take it out and shape it yourself before baking in your own oven.
Recommended Bread Makers for Experimental Bakers
How about considering other options besides loaves? In addition to a variety of specialty electrics, there are appliances similar to a bread maker, like a crepe and pancake griddle, or a pasta and bread dough maker. These could be perfect for bakers who want some help with the physical work, but still enjoy the process of proofing or shaping, rather than the repetitive task of kneading.
