Thank you, Lisa. When I made fresh rolls every morning at the restaurant, I had 3 large stand mixers going at once. I found that if I used the paddle while the dough was still sticky the kneading time was much shorter. I added the flour a bit at a time and when the dough pulled away from the sides of the bowl, and onto the paddle, it was time for the hook. I used the hook until the dough was mostly pulled away from the bottom of the bowl.
Ovens are hot. I try to avoid oven baking in the heat of summer. Bread machines are great for not sweating in your kitchen in summer. Come winter, I'm all about oven baking again.
Florida here and that's the ONLY reason I'm researching bread machines, so I can keep making homemade bread all year ... during the hottest months I cook most meals in my InstantPot and don't use my oven at all as our small house gets far too hot and the kitchen unbearable. Right now Dec/Jan), I'm loving making fresh bread twice a week in the oven again.
A CAUTION WITH BREAD MAKERS: I don't know if the very expensive ones are any better, but I find a common problem among the machines: The bread pan's paddle-spindle and/or its bearings are in a humid, hot environmtne during use. If not made from steel that is highly resistant to rust, they gradually rust together, I you bake bread once a week, you may find after a couple of years, they lock up. This is especially true if one removes the paddle from the spindle before the last rise in order to avoid the paddle recess in the bottom of the loaf. My solution to the rust problem is not to bake in the machine. Before the last rise, transfer the dough to a baking loaf-pan. Let it rise in the oven away from cold drafts for about an hour, then bake it for about 40-45 minutes at 350-375F. Never bake in the bread machine. Use it only for mixing and kneading. A new pan will cost you $40-$50.
My bread maker is a Kitchenaid stand mixer. I have been baking my own bread for 30 years. I originally bought a bread machine but quickly realised how easy it was to do without one, and the quality of an oven baked loaf is vastly superior. I originally hand kneaded the dough, but when I had cancer, and my immune system was shot by the chemo, the yeast infections all over my body were unmanageable. Now I keep a spray bottle of vinegar and water and when I'm finished touching the dough I spray everything down with the vinegar water including me. The whole process does take a weekend afternoon, but most of that time is waiting for dough to rise, and so I clean and cook other meals for the week as well. And I get two 1kg exceptional quality loaves, which lasts me 2 weeks. I got the kitchenaid on sale half price and that was twice the money I wasted on the bread maker. And the Kitchenaid makes more than bread.
I employ disenfranchised gremlins to make fresh bread for me every day FROM SCRATCH! I would never dream of giving them a bread machine to use! Those little guys just love getting their tiny fingers into the dough. Why would I deprive them of this daily pleasure??? I mean, once in awhile one of them catches fire from the wood-burning stove I set up for them in the backyard, but ya gotta crack an egg to make a quiche, right?
I have a bread machine and I only use it for kneading. I tried making bread but it would never rise enough and it always came out so dense. Plus I don't like the hole that the paddle leaves in the bread.
What I want to know is why I can follow the same recipe in the same bread machine to the T and sometimes my loaves come out fine and sometimes they collapse. Is it humidity? Is it the temperature? I just don't get it.
We had several different bread machines over 20 years, and all they served to do was prevent us from realizing that far superior bread could be had using conventional techniques, and now that I have moved to no-knead there’s no possibility of ever looking back. Goodwill was the best place for that bread machine.
Can the recipe be adapted using Einkorn all purpose four? I understand the dough has to be wetter, and the gluten structure is weaker than general all purpose.
It really depends on what you want the bread maker for. My mother had a bread machine for most of my childhood. We lived in base housing and oven quality was really varied between bases so it was easier to have a well calibrated counter top appliance. We made bread two-three times a week and there was no way she would have had time to do that by hand while active duty with three kids. The machines are largely set it and forget it. It also heated up the kitchen way less in the summer, which is important in places without central air. This question is really similar to the “why buy a rice cooker if you own a pot?” Question. The answer really just depends on how often you will use it and if the convenience is important to you.
Your bread machine best buy should be "used bread machine from literally any goodwill in the United States for $20" I don't know how old my williams sonoma branded Breadman machine is, but I bought it for that price off Facebook and I've used it twice a week for the past 9 months without any problems. But if you're an eager consumer who likes to buy brand new, feel free to subsidize my secondhand appliance habit
So true, I decided to buy a bread maker and I went to the thrift store and bought a Willam Sonoma bread maker for $20. I've bought so many amazing appliances at thrift stores that work so well
But but but how will you hold your head up high if you don't run out and buy ATK's ridiculously overpriced "best" kitchen machines, utensils, and appliances???
@@rosepaul9681 You can make bread in a toaster oven or even an air fryer. Or, y'know, just buy it if it's too hot to make it. Who wants warm bread in the hot summer anyway?

Good to know. I hope you're recovery goes quickly.
Nice 👍 I’ll buy one to start baking tomorrow morning and then come back to the house for the rest of my day. Thanks 🙏 for your info.

High altitude here. I add a tablespoon or two of water and it comes out great. I haven’t had much luck with gluten free.

Thankyou .I always learn and relearn something every time there is one of your Q&A s.
I got a bread machine because with arthritis I couldn’t knead as well as prior.
Does a bread machine exist which can make bread from 2kg of whole wheat berries made into flour ?
What I want to know is why I can follow the same recipe in the same bread machine to the T and sometimes my loaves come out fine and sometimes they collapse. Is it humidity? Is it the temperature? I just don't get it.
Thanks for the great information. You never know when you need it.
Any advice for the kneading paddle stuck in pan?

What machine is the QUIETEST BREAD MACHINE
Can the recipe be adapted using Einkorn all purpose four? I understand the dough has to be wetter, and the gluten structure is weaker than general all purpose.
they dont sell that hamilton beach bread maker anymore. which one would replace it?
Hi ATK
Greetings from California 😋
My only ultimate bread machine is my KitchenAid Pro 600 Stand Mixer!
if I have a kitchen aid mixer, is it worth buying a bread maker?
No
If you have common sense, you already know the answer is no.

Googling Zojirushi bread machines...clucking BELL, don't be giving me these ideas! 😆
Mom’s lasted for 12 years and even then the issue was a power surge not the machine. They are solid.

Why would you use another equipment when you can easily use ovens. It’s a waste of a purchase.
