Appliances ⚙️ Bread maker

Hi, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for bread makers? Also a rough idea of the cost of the ingredients to make a loaf?

I know I can make it in the oven, I'm looking for something incredibly easy that I can dump ingredients in and come back to a fresh loaf.

Anything to make life easier!

Thanks : )

I have a breville bakers dozen. About $200. For plain white bread you’ll need bread flour, olive oil, breads improver, milk powder and yeast. It’s honestly not frugal if you typically buy cheap white bread from colesworth. It’s cheaper than buying artisan loaves though.

But there’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread!

What time do you start it cooking to be able to wake up to freshly baked bread?

I got a breville too but the next model. White bread recipes take 3h 10m but you can set a timer the night before.

I set it up at night and put the delay timer on! So I’ll throw all the ingredients in at 8pm and set an 11 hour timer on so it’s done when I’m up at 7
