what do you think about bread makers? do you use one at home?

They're useless if you have an at least decent oven, bread is not hard, it just takes a few tries to get the feel for it

I don't eat a lot of bread but I use it for pizza dough. It takes ~1 minute to start, ingredients range up to $0.50 per use. Come back in 2 hours to perfect, consistent pizza dough.

If you want bread or dough at all, get a bread maker or buy from a bakery. It's literally not worth your time to make your own bread without a bread maker.

Apparently they can be found for a few dollars at thrift stores. I would just check the interior, I'm sure a few have roach infestations...

I end up not making pizza at home anyway because homemade pizza can end up costing more than Little Caesar's.

Yea is moulinex one, its great for just making douh and than baking it in the oven if that what you like, and the fresh bread form the bread maker is great even with some butter and salt or jam.
You can make sweet bread douh with it too, its not as good as hand made but it take no effort. Come with some recipe and 7 or so programs.
Got it for around 60$ its worth it. Just put the ingredients in and you get nice hot bread 3h letater.
Pizza douh is good too.
The just make your oun bread is nice but it takes so much time and effort that having a machine is better.
And its not like you cant make it normally anymore.

Put the money into a stand mixer. Bread makers are a meme.

There's one in my house- the instructions are ridiculously complicated.

Why the fuck can't I just make some dough and put it in an oven? Why do these exist?

Used to use one. My family was huge on them, like it was the second coming of Christ or something. Not gonna lie, the house smelled great and it was pretty cool seeing something reproduced that I'd only seen from a store. Then I learned to make bread the old fashioned way and never looked back. It brings me a lot of satisfaction to do this way while also keeping my arms toned. Bread makers are useful for people who want to make their own shit but don't have the luxury of time or desire to do from scratch start to finish.

i miss my family :'(

LG hb-201je, parents got it as a gift when they moved. Never used it and gave it over to me when they were clearing out closet space. I like it, just throw stuff in and go about your day.

Honestly just get a stand mixer instead, it's really not much more difficult and much much more versatile. You will end up just using the bread machine to mix the dough because you will want variety in the shape so just cut straight to a mixer. I've had both and once I got a mixer the bread machine went into storage and had never returned.

Are you implying that bread isn't "from scratch" unless it was hand kneaded?
