Technology is great, considering that today we don't have to spend the long hours kneading and baking bread in order to get the taste of fresh bread. Instead we can use a machine that does all the hard work for us- but how exactly does the machine operate, and how easy is it to use?
Bread makers weren't around decades ago- so why start using them now rather than do it the "old fashioned" way? The answer is simple: you save a lot of time and effort by using a bread maker. The machine can control the mixing of ingredients, the rising, baking, and everything else necessary. The only effort you need to put in is to provide the right ingredients.
Kneading is the first step to baking a nice loaf of bread. This process is necessary to get the dough mixed up and ready to bake evenly. Kneading is actually done with the bread makers these days, through a smart process that is able to mix up the contents of ingredients you put in uniformly. Suddenly, baking bread is no longer a physical task so much of a task of letting the machine do it.
The bread maker will have another circuit that controls how long the bread will take to rise. The thermostat included in the bread maker will go up noticeably as the bread maker attempts to create the perfect atmosphere for bringing the bread to its full size. At this point the bread isn't cooked, so right after the rising process we go straight to the cooking process.
The temperature is again raised for the cooking process. This time you actually tell the bread maker how long you want the bread to bake, since it would be impossible for the machine to determine this. Look in your recipe book to see what baking times you need and program it in before going about the baking process. The machine should automatically quit at the timer, and pause itself as it allows the bread to finally cool in the end.
Baking a good loaf of bread doesn't require that you buy the most expensive machine you can find. Instead, you need only to find a machine that is moderately priced and has good reviews among others. The price should be easily justified once you see how easy the baking process truly is. And once you start baking your own bread regularly, you can save money on food costs from that point forward.
