What are the benefits of a bread maker?
A bread maker is very easy to use, and usually comes with a manual in the box. Keep this safe as each bread maker may have different measurements to use.
The key to a great bake in your bread maker is to be precise in your measurements.
Some love the mess of rolling out dough on the surfaces covered with flour, but others prefer a cleaner way of bread making. Bread makers do offer a cleaner way of baking - which may save time and effort with washing up bowls and flour dust.
