Years ago I received an Oster Bread machine, and I loved how easy it made it to mix up dough, but I could never get the bread to bake without collapsing. It was very annoying, as kneading bread is my least favorite part of making bread, and I liked how simple a bread machine made it to have fresh baked bread everyday. I mean a fresh loaf with about 5 minutes of work on my part is a dream. Alas I felt it wasn’t meant to be for us, and once I got my KitchenAid, the bread machine sat on a shelf collecting dust. And we went back to buying store bought bread. But I guess I wasn’t exactly ready to give up on my bread machine, because it is one of the things that made the move with us to Georgia. And with the prices of groceries rising everyday, it seemed like a good time to pull it out and give it another go. I mean millions of others use bread machines to make great loaves of bread, I knew I could too. Plus now we’re more in the country and farther from stores so it makes running to the store for bread a big hassle. If I could just make a loaf every night of the next day, it’s less time consuming and more economical! I scoured the internet for a good bread machine recipe that would use All Purpose (AP) flour because that’s what I’ve got. I found a couple recipes that I have been tweaking to get a great loaf of everyday sandwich bread. This is the perfect recipe for people who are too busy to baby dough, but still want fresh baked bread. And I will totally recommend you get a bread maker because it makes my life so easy! Bread makers are really good at developing the gluten in doughs, they’ve got the kneading rest ratios down PAT! And can also make sweet breads (like banana and pumpkin), jams, mix together your pizza dough, and make a great sandwich loaf in the third of the amount of time it usually takes to make bread!

It’s really easy to use a bread maker so don’t be intimidated! And once you get more comfortable with it, you can experiment and try new recipes.
Have you used a bread maker before? What do you like about it?

I hardly or ever buy bread, bake bread at least 2-3 times per week, although no bread maker, just do an artisan bread and all love it.

I love having a bread machine! I need to use it more often, though. :) I'm going to check out the bread slicer you've got here... That would be super helpful. Visiting from the Crazy Little Love Birds link party.

No, I've never used a bread baking machine before but I have made homemade bread. It's always so good!

I got a bread maker for Christmas, and I have used it several times! My family loves the bread. I’ve made basic bread as well as Hawaiian bread, and even pizza dough. Next I want to make cinnamon roll dough! I love how easy it is to use, too!
