Last year, my wife ordered for a T-fal Bread & Baquette Maker. Since then, we have been making homemade bread several times a week. We have stopped buying bread in the supermarkets because after eating homemade bread, and learning how easy it is to make bread, we don't need to buy it. The bread maker does all the work, and in about three hours, more or less, new, fresh bread is born on earth.
The T-fal Bread & Baquette Makers comes with a recipe book of 13 bread recipes. The easiest two, and the two that I make the most are the sandwich loaf and the Farmhouse loaf. The main thing I need to check on before making bread, is to see if we have enough white flour, whole wheat flour, rye, and good quality yeast. Have those items and the bread is on the way. The sandwich loaf requires only white flour, whereas, the Farmhouse loaf requires, white, wheat, and rye. The bread maker also comes with, a measuring spoon, measuring cup, metal a tray for the baguettes. The machine makes little noise, but does make a sound letting us know when the bread is done. Of course that is a happy sound in this family.
All that is necessary is to put in the ingredients into the bread bin in the maker, close it, set the program to the appropriate number, since each recipe has a program number, and then, let the bread maker do its job. After about three hours of painful waiting, hahaha, I get to taste the freshness of new bread, with some butter or cheese spread, on top. This is a treat for this household.
A tip for making bread with the bread maker, is to be sure to follow the recipe with regards to measuring the amount of the ingredients needed. Too much or too little of yeast, water, flour, oil, can change the appearance and taste of the bread. It can come out too soft, or too hard, too brittle with knife sharp edges, and cushion soft.
Now I am not a cook, and don't claim to be an exemplary kitchen food preparer, but, I do know how to make bread with the easy to use, dependable bread maker. I am the primary bread maker of this home.
