Bread Machine : What is it?
| Bread machines, also called bread makers, are used for baking bread as an alternative to traditional ovens. They also mix, knead, and sometimes preheat the dough before baking. They usually consist of a bread pan with a paddle at the center, enclosed in a small window or dome-shaped oven. They also include a timer and settings for different types of bread, such as white, rye, and whole wheat. They come in different loaf sizes, but most models can accommodate a standard 1.5-pound loaf. |

Kinds of Bread Machines include the following: |
Automatic Bread Machines Automatic Bread Machines can be set to add ingredients at specific times and mix at preset speeds. Some models can also be programmed for specific recipes, including basic cakes and pastries. They usually come with two or more bread pans. Standard Bread Machines Standard Bread Machines require the user to add each ingredient manually. Some models have lap timers that alert the user when the next ingredient needs to be added. They have fewer features than automatic models, but they offer more control and precision. |

Pan type. Choose a bread machine with a non-stick pan for easier cleaning and maintenance. Look for a thick-cast aluminum pan if you want thick, brown crusts, and a thinner pan if you prefer light crusts. Baking time. Choose a bread machine that makes a complete cycle in three hours or less. Some types of bread may take longer to bake, but they should not take longer than four hours. Also consider the preheat and mix cycles when looking at baking times. |
