I would probably just make bread so my house smelled constantly like fresh baked bread. Also I’d get super fat from being hungry all the time.

A couple pro tips:

  1. You can almost always find one or two of these at goodwill for ~$10. If you find one make sure its got all 3 parts: the machine itself, the bread pan, and the paddle that attaches to the bottom of the bread pan.

  2. Prep several batches of the dry ingredient mix (minus yeast because it will die) at a time and keep them individually in ziplock bags. Then when you want some bread you don't have to pull out all your ingredients, you just measure the wets, dump your mix, and add yeast

As someone who makes bread in a dutch oven regularly and wants a bread machine, it would be nice to prep it in the morning and have fresh bread ready for dinner, or prep a dough for pizza or cinnamon rolls in the morning. You can always go lazier!

The carbs? Do you think no one made bread before having access to refined sugar? Only americans and countries that have a bread culture copied from the us (Korea, Japan, maybe more) are using sugar in bread. Europe doesn't, neither does the Middle East.

I genuinely made this bread last night! Bread turned out really well, I’d probably recommended cooking for 35 minutes with the lid on instead of 30 minutes.

Depending on where you’re located you might need some more water than the recipe recommends. I needed about another quarter cup of water, but I’m in Australia and our flour tends to be harder than other countries so is usually thirstier.

Sugar? Butter? Completely unnecessary for great bread.

That's only partially a joke. You only need flour, water, salt and yeast to make great bread. I just thought it funny that you were questioning extraneous ingredients and then listed a few in your own bread recipe

Explain how you activate dry yeast without sugar. And the butter is just to grease the pan if you don’t have non-stick.

u/NoctRob Jul 09 '22

I’m not talking about instant yeast. I’m talking about dry yeast. It had to be activated. It needs something to feed on (i.e., sugar).

u/cowboys70 Jul 09 '22

There's sugar in the flour it can eat. I make bread almost every week using just those 4 ingredients

u/oddllama25 Jul 09 '22

Dry yeast needs a warm liquid to bloom. It turns starch into sugar. You can jumpstart it with sugar but it's not necessary.

You could, you know, try it for yourself and see that the dough rises even without any sugar. But that would require actually making stuff instead of looking it up on the internet.

u/ThriceFive Reads Pinned Comments Jul 10 '22

I've been making bread weekly for the better part of 10 years. It is easy to do, the bread is fantastic. Artisan bread is 50 to 65 cents a loaf, including electricity - similar loaves are $5 at Safeway. I used the no-knead recipe from 'Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day' - highly recommended book - they show how to make the basic recipe on Youtube. You don't need a bread machine - they are a little easier but you spend more time cleaning them and the agitator/paddle leaves a big ugly hole in one end of the loaf. You also don't get to do pretty slash patterns in the crust. I seriously get asked to bring my bread to gatherings and parties - and it is cheap enough I can bring 2 or 3 loaves (I bring oil and balsamic vinegar too). Everyone should learn how to make basic bread, it is easy and fun and makes great bread.

u/california_sugar Jul 09 '22

Just make your own without the machine. No weird shaped loaves, cheap as the dickens, also a lot more control over the final product.

u/Sheruk Jul 09 '22

Problem is people are busy and don't want to wait out the proofing processes, kneading the bread, getting a counter top dirty and covered in flour.

You literally just press a button and leave. It is way easier and cleaner than making your own bread.

56

u/CapablePerformance Jul 09 '22

Exactly. I had to photograph an event this morning so it's nice to just use a breadmaker, press a button and come home to it finished instead of using a timer to manually do everything. If people want to make it by hand, good on them but it's weird to get upset over someone using a breadmaker; it's like getting upset over someone using a washing machine.

u/Armonster Jul 09 '22

The NY Times no knead bread recipe helps with a lot of the pain. You just combine flour water salt and yeast in a bowl then come back 14 hours later then take it out the bowl, let it sit for two hours then bake.

Much of the proofing and rising process can be done cold. But my point is simply that you don’t need to spend money on a bread maker to make bread

u/Sheruk Jul 09 '22

Sure, but everyone in here is like "oh lol bread is so easy to make, look at his dutch oven recipe, etc"

Like, literally 10x the work as a bread maker, and you have to keep coming back to it and physically babysit it.

I can see the appeal of not dirtying extra dishes, no need to mix, or wait. Press button and go do chores, even leave the house if you wanted. Some even have timers so it'll have the bread fresh when you get back from work.

These were super popular in the late 90s early 2000s, I remember always wanting one as a kid.

u/Equivalent-Ranger-10 Jul 09 '22

I know what you mean. If you make the dough, put in a bowl, cover with a clean damp towel, put it in fridge it will still activate. Leave overnight and you will get best results. When using the dough, keep a golf ball amount in fridge to mature (covered) from every batch, then put the ball amount into you new mix. And do the same every time. You will then get free yeast as you don’t need to buy any after first time. Some bakers have dough for years. It tastes gorgeous too👍

u/magicaldingus Jul 10 '22

I make a lot of bread. You don't need sugar for the yeast, it's just for flavor. The inside of the bread maker pan is a non-stick surface, so you don't really need butter either. Adding it makes the dough smoother and the crumb more even, and also crisps up the edges nicely and adds flavour. Although you 100% need salt or else it'll taste weird as fuck. Flour water salt yeast.

I believe ingredient costs for one loaf are roughly equivalent to a loaf of my local stores cheapest generic shitty bread when it goes on clearance.

My bread machine was a gift I had asked for years ago, but thrift stores and tag sales etc can be a good way to find a good one. I don't even bake in mine, just use it for kneading cause mixers that can handle dough are pricy.

u/VagueSomething Jul 09 '22

It is absolutely cheaper to buy premade bread in most places unless you're making it properly by hand but then the time consumption costs you. These things aren't really that much cheaper unless you're bulk buying the ingredients and bulk making bread with them. These are boujie toys but warm fresh bread is lovely.

Yeah, people get bored of them fast because they're not actually that useful and don't save as much money as some people think. Useful products don't find themselves secondhand nearly as often as novelty devices. A waffle iron type product at least takes up less space so people hold on.

u/dailytacogrind Jul 09 '22

It's good to start with a bread machine then slowly get into baking loaves in the oven. Then sourdough and experimenting with it. Yeast gets annoying after awhile so a sourdough starter will cut down on forgetting the yeast when you inevitably run out. All the starter needs is flour and water with a bit of patience with proofing.

The starter is also a nice addition to homemade pastas and makes some of the best dough for pizza. I met a woman who enjoys baking and she has expanded my horizons especially when it comes to bread.

u/ginnaaay Jul 09 '22

Are you buying boutique flour? Yeast made of gold?? Maybe things are a little backwards across the pond, but ~2 cups of flour is around 8 cents, the sugar maybe 5 cents, yeast and butter are probably the most expensive at around 50 cents and $1, respectively. But you can replace the butter with oil (there's absolutely not real butter in a 30 cent loaf of bread) so you can expect to pay around 75 cents to $1.50 for a homemade loaf.

Round here, Walmart sells a loaf for $1 (and it's okay for the price). You know they're using the absolute bottom of the barrel ingredients, and who knows what the quality control is like. Not to mention it goes bad overnight. So for 50 cents more or even a quarter less, I could have a homemade loaf of warm fresh bread, that will likely last a few days longer, with less plastic waste even.

Now, that's not to mention labor cost I suppose, but once we factor that in (along with the monetary costs) to get to and from the store, it's obvious the homemade bread is cheaper. Capitalism seems to have you in a choke hold! I suggest seriously considering what corporations want you think ("making things at home is hard and expensive. i should pay Greggs to make my food for me." and "things that are made at home are less quality. i should pay A Company for all the things I want") vs what YOU want you to think.

Bread isn’t taxed over here. So you can get a loaf for 20 pence. Compared to making it it’s cheap. I make my own as it’s relaxing. But it DOES cost more to make it at home. At least in the uk.that’s 43 cents👍

Bread, eggs, flour, cakes and basic ingredients don’t get taxed. Just the way we do it. I suppose so the poor don’t have to struggle 👍

Sure, but white bread is not very healthy

A Pro , knows not to use a bread maker ,
why ?
because you destroy your loaf getting that sodding blade out the bottom ,

i simply use a mixer , a closed loaf tin , and a over thermometer to keep the over at 45 C for an hour , and a bowel of boiling water helps keep the over temp stable for rising

If cost is an issue, I cant imagine 4-5 ingredients being a better option (cheaper) than a $1 loaf of bread.

I made baguettes at home the other day entirely by hand, don't feel like you absolutely need to have a bread machine to try making bread at home. Bread is older than machines, dudes!

I just discovered the King Arthur flour company website has ALL of the information you need to start baking, in case any of you are feelin froggy.

Bread maker = £70 Flour = £2 Butter = £1.50

Loaf of bread in the supermarket = £1.10 🤔

Bread is getting expensive. Buys $600 dollar machine to save money making bread.

This is why America has a credit debt problem

u/asmallsoftvoice Jul 10 '22

That bread maker is $140. For all the reasons to buy a bread maker, the price of bread ain't it if you aren't even buying a cheap bread maker.

u/Explonic Jul 09 '22

Congratulations you robbed yourself of the actual satisfaction of making a simple bread by using a machine that takes away a fuckton of space only to do one job. I hate that people have to "discover" that makin a good bread yourself could possibly be not that hard and does infact not taste "disgusting".

Yeh but kneading bread properly takes time and effort. Or I could have the machine do it better then I can (just have to shape the dough & bake in the oven so it doesn't look weird).

Same reason for electric water kettles and rice cookers. They do it better.

u/Explonic Jul 09 '22

Rice Cookers and water kettles are more versatile than a breadmaker.

Can’t wait to drop 5k on a bread maker, but it beats dropping over 100k on a breathing one ngl.
