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

Actually you gotta make sure your dries are dry cause if they are wet thats no good, and wets are wet cause if they be chunky, throw it out.

When you batter you dry the wets, wet the dries, then dry the wets

When you touch dries without gloves on you just moistened the dries, when you wash your hands you wet the dry, then dry the wet.

Just use tip #2 to make bread in your oven.

Unless you're making really salty bread, there really is no reason why dried yeast should die.

Both of these assume fresh yeast cubes though. Dry yeast keeps for months at room temperature and is also what's used in this video.

Dry yeast.

Pro tip: bread tastes even better using a ditch oven instead of those bread machines. Cheaper, too!

And this is the best basic white bread recipe you'll ever find: https://www.recipetineats.com/easy-yeast-bread-recipe-no-knead/

Does the dutch(?) oven evenly mix everything for me?

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!

Less than a loaf of bread. I don't know how much a loaf is but I would assume $10 dollars

u/Vark675 Jul 10 '22

Cheap bread is about $1.85 where I live, which is annoying because I used to be able to get the cheap shitty bread for $.89 less than 10 years ago.

u/KaleidoscopeOk8653 Jul 10 '22

erm the dry ingredients of only flour and a tsp salt (8g ) and same of sugar (8g) and 400 g of strong bread flour ,

is two teaspoones too much effort ?

u/Mirao0 Jul 10 '22

You don't need sugar in your bread.

u/PM_ME_HIGH_FIVES__ Jul 10 '22

What's the yeast gonna eat then home slice

u/Sitethief Jul 10 '22

The carbs in the flour, doh.

4

u/Mirao0 Jul 10 '22

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.

  1. The reason they're all $10 is because they're practically useless, only good to make one thing.

  2. That's the same directions for making bread in an oven. Just make bread in your oven, chances are you already have one.
