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?

    Thirdly, bread machine recipes are always bad, you will need to experiment. Even if the recipes are with products available at your local store, humidity and quality will differ enough that you’ll have to give it a few trials to get it right.

    Absolutely this!

    I treated it like a science experiment and it took me about 10 attempts before I found the right mix.

    Half the amount of sugar, one less cup of flour, switch up the order so the yeast eats the sugar earlier… It’s different for everyone
