than a help. If you have a stand mixer just follow the instructions in the owners manual for basic bread. It's simple, easy and requires very little work and you can add your own custom touches.

If you don't have a stand mixer use your bread machine money to buy one. There are a lot of good sales to buy one plus you'll have a very useful kitchen gadget that can do many things.

I had a bread machine. I used it for a few months and haven't since Major Nikon Jan 2021 #33

My success with my bread machine is to use the dough selection only and finish off in the oven. Yes katmondoo Jan 2021 #3
